BY THE KING . A Proclamation for the Incouragement of Sea-men and Mariners to returne to their Obedience to the Kings Majesty , and to continue in His Service .

HIS MAJESTY understanding , that many Sea-men and Mariners employed by Merchants being in Rebellion against Him , or apparently adhering to the Rebels , have an Inclination to return to their due Obedience , as Duty and Loyalty doth oblige them ; But that the necessity of their Condition is such , as that unlesse they may be assured of satisfaction for their Wages and Entertainment upon their comming to Land , or into the Ports in Obedience to His Majesty , they may be exposed to misery , and so disabled not onely to maintaine themselves and their Families , but also to doe the King that Service which they desire . His Majesty therefore taking the same into His Princely Consideration , and the good Services which these Sea-men and Mariners may performe unto Him ; And being willing to give them all fit Encouragement , doth hereby Declare , and Promise in the Word of a King , That what Sea-men and Mariners soever , shall bring any Ship or Ships , or other Vessell whatsoever into any Port or Harbour within . His Majesties Obedience , they shall not onely have their free Pardons for what is past ; But shall also be rewarded with two Third parts of the whole Value of every such Ship and Vessell , and the Loading thereof , to be immediately divided amongst the Captaines , Masters , Officers , and Mariners of the said Ships and Vessells ; And that they , or as many of them as shall desire it , shall immediately be againe employed , entertained , and set to Sea for His Majesties Service , either in the said Ship or Vessell , that they shall so bring in , or in some other which shall be fitted for that purpose , and have such Entertainment and Wages as hath at any time been allowed unto them heretofore .

Given at His MAJESTIESCourt at OXFORD , this 22th day of February , in the Twentieth yeare of His Raigne . GOD SAVE THE KING .
