Charles
R.
RIGHT
trusty
and
welbeloved
,
and
Trusty
and
welbeloved
,
We
greet
you
well
.
We
are
informed
that
there
are
several
persons
who
go
under
the
name
of
Quakers
,
or
other
names
of
separation
,
now
in
the
Gaols
for
London
and
Middlesex
,
for
being
at
unlawfull
Assemblies
,
who
yet
profess
all
Obedience
and
Allegiance
unto
Us.
We
would
be
glad
that
all
Our
Subjects
could
be
brought
to
agree
in
an
Uniform
Worship
of
God
;
and
We
hope
that
the
foresight
of
the
Dangers
which
they
runne
into
by
a
willfull
contempt
of
the
Laws
,
and
Our
present
indulgence
,
may
prevail
with
some
of
these
persons
,
to
reduce
them
to
a
better
Conformity
:
And
therefore
We
do
willingly
lay
hold
of
this
time
and
occasion
of
publick
Joy
for
the
first
coming
of
Our
dear
Consort
the
QUEEN
to
Our
Royal
Palace
at
Westminster
,
to
Declare
this
Our
Royal
pleasure
unto
you
,
That
you
cause
all
such
of
the
said
persons
in
Our
Gaols
for
London
and
Middlesex
,
who
have
not
been
Indicted
for
refusing
the
Oath
of
Allegiance
,
nor
shall
appear
to
you
to
have
been
Ringleaders
or
Preachers
at
their
Assemblies
,
to
be
enlarged
.
Given
at
Hampton-Court
this
22th
day
of
August
.
1662.
By
His
Majesties
Command
.
Edward
Nicholas
.
To
Our
Right
trusty
and
welbeloved

to
Our
Trusty
and
welbeloved
the
Lord

others
our
Commissioners
