WHEREAS We have found by Our own experience , as well as the information of others , That many Souldiers of Our Army have presumed to sell and pawne their Armes , which with so great difficulty We have provided for the defence of Us and Our Kingdom , and which by Our Military Orders , and Law-Martiall is death , as well to the Receiver and Buyer , as to the Seller . And whereas other of Our Souldiers upon their March have thrown away , or through negligence have lost many of their Armes , and have sold their Horses ; We doe hereby require all Persons whatsoever within this Our County of Oxford , That they hence-forth presume not to buy any Armes whatsoever of any Souldiers in Our Army ; and that within foure daies after the publishing this Our Proclamation , they bring and deliver all such Armes of what kind soever , either Muskets , Pikes , Swords , great Saddles , Pistols , Carabines , or the like , which they have so bought or received as aforesaid , to the hands of Our trusty and Well-beloved Winter Graunt Esquire , Our Waggon-Master Generall , at Iohn Robotham's house in Granpoole in Our Citty of Oxford , promising them that they shall no waies suffer for what is past , so that they be not hereafter guilty of the same Offence . And We doe farther require every Souldier of Our Army , who hath sold or pawned any of Our Armes whatsoever as aforesaid , That within foure daies after the publishing this Our Proclamation , he informe and acquaint the chief officer of that Regiment wherein he serveth , with the names of such Places and Persons where and to whom he , or any other , to his knowledge , hath sold or pawned any such Armes as aforesaid , promising likewise , That the said Souldier or Souldiers shall no waies suffer for what is past , so that they be not hereafter guilty of the same Offence . And We farther require all Persons whatsoever , who have taken up , or found any Armes left or lost by any Souldiers in Our Army , or any Souldiers of the Army now in Rebellion against Us , or have bought any Horse , Gelding or Mare of any of Our Common-Souldiers , That they henceforward presume not to buy any Horse of what kind soever of any Common-souldier without the consent of the Colonell or chief Officer of the Regiment of which such Souldier is , and that they likewise within foure daies bring and deliver all such Armes and Horses to the said Winter Graunt , or his deputies , at the said Iohn Robotham's house in Our Citty of Oxford , who shall take a note of the names of all such who shall obey Us in these Our commands , and present their names unto Us , that We may take notice of their duty and Affection to Our service . And if a speedy obedience be not given to these Our Commands , We shall give further direction for the searching all Houses where is probable suspition to find any such Armes or Horses . And Our pleasure is , That this Proclamation be read in every Parish Church throughout this County , and in the head of every Regiment in Our Army .

Given at Our Court at Oxford , the fifth day of Ianuary , in the Eighteenth yeare of Our Reigne . God save the King .
