By the King . A PROCLAMATION Requiring all Seamen and Mariners to Render themselves to His MAJESTIES Service . CHARLES R.

WHereas divers Seamen and Mariners have lately left their Vsual and Ordinary places of Abode , and have removed themselves into some private and obscure Places in the Inland Countries , endeavouring thereby to avoyd the Search that is now made for men of that Calling and Condition , and to escape the Press that is gone out for His Majesties present Service . His Majesty therefore by the Advice of His Council hath thought fit to Publish this His Royal Proclamation , and doth hereby straitly Charge and Command all Seamen and Mariners aforesaid , now remaining in any County of England or Wales , and not already listed in His Majesties Service , that they forthwith Render themselves unto the Principal Officers and Commissioners of the Navy in London , in order to their being received into Pay , and sent on board such of His Majesties Ships as shall be found most expedient for His Majesties Service ; And if any of them shall hereafter be found out or discovered who have neglected to Obey this His Majesties Royal Command , they shall be proceéded against with all Severity . And His Majesty doth hereby require all Mayors , Bayliffs , Sheriffs , Iustices of Peace , Constables , and other Officers to whom it doth or may appertain , that they cause diligent Search to be made within all and every of their Precincts for the said Seamen and Mariners , and to seize and secure the Persons of such of them as shall there be found ; and to cause them to be sent to the Principal Officers and Commissioners of His Majesties Navy in London , in order to their farther employment : And hereof they are not to fail , as they will answer the contrary at their Peril .

Given at the Court at Whitehall this 29 th . day of March 1672. in the 24 th . year of His Majesties Reign . God save the King .
