BY THE KING . A Proclamation for the safety of His Majesties Navy , and the Kingdome .

WHEREAS His Majesties Ships were diverse Moneths since taken from His Majesty , and seized , and taken into the custody of the Earle of Warwick , without , and against His Majesties consent , who did traiterously presume to usurpe to himselfe the Soveraignty of the Seas , and did use , and imploy His Majesties said Ships in hostile manner against His Majesty , and His good Subjects , and for the destroying of both : And whereas His Majesty hath too much cause to apprehend there is now some new intention of preparing , and setting forth His Majesties Ships without His consent , under the command of the said Earle , or of some other in the Spring now approaching , and for no better purpose , or designe in some mischievous malignant Persons ( that have seduced , and misled the Members that remained in both Houses of Parliament , after very many had been forced thence by tumults , and almost ruined the Kingdome ) then to carry away His Majesties Navy , and to leave His Majesty , His Children , and this Kingdome , exposed and betrayed to the invasion of Strangers , that shall be sure to find this His Majesties Kingdome in disturbance at Land at this present , and without strength at Sea , and either convey themselves to some place of strength and refuge for their owne safety , or invite , and assist Strangers to invade His Majesty by Sea , as already they have publikely invited His Majesties Subjects of Scotland to assist them by Land , in the Warre which they have levied to overthrow His Majesty and this Kingdome . And whereas the said Earle , by the mischievous practice , and fraud in first procuring some pretended Authority from His Majesties late Admirall , that so he might seeme to have some Authority from , and under His Majesty , did thereby get the said Ships , and the men in them so farre into his possession , and power , that His Majesty wanted convenient meanes of conveying His Declaration to His said Subjects of that deceit , & of the want of His Majesties consent , and of the absolute want of any just power , or authority which the said Earle , or any other without His Majesties consent could have of commanding of , or medling with His Majesties said Ships , by pretence of any Order , or Ordinance of one or both Houses of Parliament , wherewith he had misled His Majesties said Subjects . To the end therefore , that all the Officers of His Majesties Navy , and all other Persons whatsoever whom it may concerne , may have such timely knowledge as may prevent any mischiefe that hereafter may happen , concerning the preparing , furnishing , imploying , commanding , or serving in , of about His Majesties Ships , or any of them , His Majesty doth by this His Proclamation straitly Charge , and Command the principall Officers of His Majesties Navy , and all other Officers whatsoever , all Maisters of attendance , Maister Ship-wrights , Carpenters , Caulkers , Labourers , & others whom it may concern , That they have no hand in making ready , graving , rigging , or sitting up any of His Majesties Ships , to goe to Sea , as also all His Store-keepers , and such who have the charge of the Stores , that they issue out none of His Majesties Stores , Rigging , sailes , or guns , powder , or shot , emptions , or other materialls , Timber , Planks , Cables , or Anchors thereunto . And likewise that none of His Majesties Victuallers assist therein for the victualling of them , nor any of His Gunners , Boatswaines , Pursers , or Carpenters , goe to Sea in any of them ; And that none of the Trinity . housemen , or others presume to take charge of any of His Majesties Ships , either as Captaines , Masters , Pylots , or Master-mates , And that no Mariners , Saylor , Waterman , or other take any entertainement , or pay , or give any assistance , or doe any service in carrying , or conducting any of His Majesties Ships to Sea , or on the Sea without His Majesties direction to be signifyed under His great Seale , or signe Manuall , Notwithstanding any Order , or Ordinance of one , or both Houses of Parliament . And His Majesty doth further Declare , That He will not faile to take all possible care to provide for the safety of the Kingdome by such a guard of His Ships as shall be necessary , when He shall have hereby prevented such wicked designes upon His Navy as might disable Him so to provide for the same , His Majestie nothing doubting , but that this Kingdome , that in the courage , loyalty , skill , and knowledge of such of this Nation as have commanded and served at Sea , hath found safety at home , and been renowned , and feared through all the world , will by the same helpes find the same benefit , if by the malice of wicked men they be not taken from Him , or imployed against Him . And His Majesty doth further Declare , that if any Person of what degree , or quality soever , shall presume to adhere to His Enemies and Rebells , in giving them any assistance in or about any of the premises , besides the losse of their offices , or places in which they ought to serve His Majesty , and the fees , or profits which belong thereunto , which they must expect , they will also incurre those paines , and forfeitures , which by the Law doe belong unto so haynous offences .

Given at Our Court at Oxford , this Tenth day of February , in the Eighteenth yeare of Our Reigne . God save the King .
