WHereas divers lewd and wicked persons have of late risen in Rebellion in Our Kingdom of Ireland , surprised divers of Our Forts and Castles , possessed themselves thereof , surprised some of Our Garrisons , possessed themselves of some of Our Magazins of Arms and Munition , dispossessed many of Our good and loyall Subjects of the Brittish Nation and Protestants of their Houses and Lands , robbed and spoiled many thousands of Our good Subjects of Brittish Nation , and Protestants of their goods , to great values , massacred multitudes of them , imprisoned many others , and some who have the honour to serve Vs as Privie Councellours of that Our Kingdom : We therefore having taken the same into Our Royall consideration , and abhorring the wicked disloyaltie and horrible acts committed by those persons , do hereby not onely declare Our just indignation thereof , but also do declare them and their Adherents , and Abettors , and all those who shall hereafter joyn with them , or commit the like acts on any of Our good Subjects in that Kingdom , to be Rebels and Traitors against Our Royall Person , and enemies to Our Royall Crown of England and Ireland .

And We do hereby strictly charge and command all those persons , who have so presumed to rise in Arms against Vs and Our Royall authority ( which We cannot otherwise interpret then Acts of high Rebellion and detestable disloyaltie , when therein they spoil and destroy Our good and Loyall Subjects of the Brittish nation , and Protestants ) That they immediately lay down their Arms , and forbear all further Acts of Hostility ; wherein if they fail , We do let them know , That We have authorised Our Iustices of Ireland , and other Our chief Governour or Governours , and Generall , or Lieutenant Generall of Our Armie there ; And do hereby accordingly require and authorise them , and every of them , to prosecute the said Rebels and Traitours with fire and sword , as persons who by their high disloyalty against Vs their lawfull and undoubted King and Soveraign , have made themselves unworthy of any mercy or favour , wherein Our said Iustices , or other chief Governour or Governours , and Generall or Lieutenant Generall of Our said Army , shall be countenanced , and supported by Vs and by Our powerfull succours of Our good Subjects of England and Scotland , that so they may reduce to obedience those wicked disturbers of that Peace , which by the blessing of God that Kingdom hath so long and so happily injoyed , under the government of Our Royall Father and Vs . And this Our Royall pleasure , We do hereby require Our Iustices , or other chief Governour or Governours of that Our Kingdom of Ireland , to cause to be published and Proclaimed , in , and thorowout Our said Kingdom of Ireland .

Given under Our Signet at Our Palace at Westminster , the first day of January , in the seventeenth yeer of Our Reign . 1641. ❧ God save the King .
