But We must and doe declare , That whosoever shall hence forward be guilty of the premises , or of either of them , shall be esteemed by Us as an Enemy to the publick Peace , a Person disaffected to Vs , and to the Religion and Law of the Kingdome , and shall accordingly receive condigne punishment , of which We give them timely notice , that they may proceed accordingly at their perills .
