But now the time and season for Service approaching , His Majesty hath thought fit , and doth by this His Proclamation ( by and with the Advice of His Privy Councel ) strictly charge and command , That all and every Sea-man and Mariner , who either by or without leave have gone from their Service , in any the Ships serving in His Majesties Navy in the last Summers Imployment ( except such as have been discharged for infirmity of Body , as incapable of doing His Majesty Service ) do return unto the said Ships , in case they are in the Harbor or in the Channel ; or otherwise to enter and list themselves in some other of His Majesties Ships that are in Harbor , by or before the Twentieth Day of February next . And for the better Encouragement of such as shall return accordingly , His Majesty is gratiously pleased , and doth hereby Declare His Pleasure to be , That every Sea-man and Mariner that shall return or be listed as aforesaid , shall have his Wages duly paid him for the time he served aboard , notwithstanding he departed without leave : But if any Sea-man or Mariner who served in the late Expedition ( except before excepted ) shall not return or be listed according to the tenor of this Proclamation , they and every of them , shall not onely loose all the Wages that are due unto them , but shall be proceeded against by a Court Martial , according to the Articles & Orders published for the regulating and better Government of His Majesties Navies & Ships of War . And to that end , His Majesty doth hereby strictly charge and command , All Justices of the Peace , Majors , Sheriffs , Bayliffs , Constables , and other His Majesties Officers whom it may any way concern , to cause and take care , That all such Mariners and Sea-men who served in any of His Majesties Ships of War the last Summer ( except such as have been discharged as incapable of doing service ) and shall not return to the Ships wherein they then served , or be listed into some other , by or before the said Twentieth Day of February next , be Apprehended and Imprisoned , and then signifie the same to His Majesty , that so they may be proceeded against by a Court Martial as aforesaid . His Majesty hereby also willing and requiring , All Masters and Owners of Ships and Vessels , to forbear to entertain or take into their Ships or Vessels , any Mariners or Sea-men who have in the last Summers service been employed in any of His Majesties ships of War , upon pain of His high displeasure , & such further punishment as their Offences may deserve .
