By the King . A Proclamation restraining the withdrawing His Majesties Subjects from the Church of England , and giving scandall in resorting to Masses .

THe Kings Majesty finding of late that some of His Majesties naturall born Subjects , have abused His Majesties Princely goodnesse , and the ease which they enjoy under His gracious and milde Government , by withdrawing sundry His Subjects to the Romane superstition , and to forsake the Church of England ; and likewise by resorting to Masses , and Service celebrated according to the Rites of the Church of Rome , expresly contrary to the Lawes of this Realm , and in contempt of sundry Acts of Parliament , Proclamations , and Orders of the Privie Councell , and to the great scandall of His Majesties Government both in Church and State : For prevention whereof for the time to come , and for preservation of Religion , as it stands established in the Church of England , which His Majestie is resolved constantly to maintain ; His Majestie , in His Princely Wisdome , hath thought fit to set forth this declaration of His Royall Will and Pleasure ; whereby He doth not only straightly charge and command all and every His Subjects to take notice , that the former Statutes , Proclamations , and Orders of the Privie Councell , published and made for reformation of the like misdemeanors , are still in full force , but doth expresly Will and Command , all and every person and persons , Clerks , and Lay , that they from henceforth forbear to attempt or endeavour to withdraw any of His Majesties Subjects from Religion , as it is now professed in the Church of England , or by perswasions , or any other means to distract them in the same , or to sollicite them to adhere to the Church of Rome ; under pain of the severest punishments which by the Laws and Statutes in such case are provided . And His Majestie doth hereby further declare , that if any of the Romane party shall from henceforth , in contempt of this His Maiesties Admonition , and of the Statutes , Proclamations , and Orders abovesaid , give scandall by telebrating or hearing of any Masse or Masses , or any other Service which shall be celebrated after the Rites of the Church of Rome , That then His Maiestie will cause to be put in execution against such contumacious persons , those penalties which by the Lawes and Statutes are to be inflicted upon all those that wilfully and scandalously transgresse the same . And of this His Majestie will expect a better accompt of His Officers and Ministers whom it shall concern , then heretofore they have made .

Given at the Court at Whitehall , the twentieth day of December , in the thirteenth yeare of His Majesties Reign . God save the King .

❧ Imprinted at London by ROBERT BARKER , Printer to the Kings most excellent Majestie : And by the Assignes of IOHN BILL . 1637.
