WHereas by the special Command of Our late Royal Grand-father , King James ( of blessed memory ) there was Compiled and Printed a Book or Treatise , Intituled , God and the King ; or a Dialogue , Shewing that the King of England being Immediate under God , within his Dominions , doth rightfully claim whatsoever is required by the Oath of Allegiance : which said Book or Treatise , being universally dispersed through these Realms and Dominions , did in those times ( by the blessing of Almighty God ) prove an effectual means , both for the instruction of the People in their Duty and Allegiance , and for avoiding the Penalties of the Laws and Statutes made and provided concerning the same . In respect whereof , and to the end Our loving Subjects may not be ignorant of , but rightly understand the said Duty , and the true meaning thereof , which by reason of the late times of Libertism and Distraction hath been by many too much neglected , and not duly considered , We have been graciously pleased to Direct , That the said Book or Treatise be forthwith re-printed and published . And Our further Will and Pleasure is , and We do by this Our Royal Proclamation ( by and with the Advice of Our Privy Council ) Will and Command all and every the Archbishops , Bishops , Mayors , Sheriffs , Bayliffs , and all other Officers and Ministers whatsoever within these Our Realms and Dominions , That they and every of them respectively , within their several Diocese , Limits , Liberties and Jurisdictions , do ( by such ways and means , as they in their Wisdoms and Discretions shall think fit ) advise and direct all School-masters and Teachers of the English and Latine Tongue , to teach their Scholars the said Book or Treatise , either in Latine or English , according to their respective capacities . And also , that it be recommended to all Masters of Families and Apprentices to have one of the said Books or Treatises , with advice to read and be instructed in the same , and the contents and true meaning thereof , thereby to enable themselves to understand and perform the said Oath , and avoid the Penalties of the Laws and Statutes made and provided against such as infringe or neglect the same . And for the better incouragement of Our Subjects in so good and necessary a work ; We do by these presents straitly Charge and Command all Printers , Stationers and Booksellers , and all other persons whatsoever , That they or any of them do not at any time or times hereafter ask , take , or demand for the said Book or Treatise , above the price or sum of six pence of lawful money of England , as they tender Our pleasure , and will answer the contrary at their uttermost perils .
