By the King . A PROCLAMATION For the Confinement of Popish Recusants within Five Miles of their respective Dwellings . CHARLES R.

THe Kings most Excellent Majesty having been Informed of the Dangerous and Wicked Plots and Designs of Popish Recusants , against His Majesties Royal Person and Government , and tending to the Subversion of the True Protestant Religion Established by Law within this His Realm , Doth ( with the Advice of His Privy Council ) by this His Royal Proclamation , strictly Charge and Command all persons being above the Age of Sixteen years , born within any of His Majesties Realms or Dominions , or made Denizens , who being Popish Recusants , have been , or shall be thereof Lawfully Convicted , That they and every of them do ( according to the Statutes in that behalf made ) repair to their respective places of abode ; and if they have no places of abode , then to the places where the Father or Mother of such respective persons is or shall be then dwelling , and do not at any time thereafter remove or pass above Five miles from thence , upon Pain that the Offenders shall lose and forfeit to the Kings Majesty , all their Goods and Chattels , and also all their Lands and Tenements , Rents , Annuities , and Hereditaments , during their respective natural lives . And because many Popish Recusants , who are notoriously known , or reputed to be such , have notwithstanding , by the connivance or negligence of those by whom they ought to have been Prosecuted , escaped Conviction , and yet may be ( by their concourse and contrivances ) as dangerous to His Majesty , His Government , and the True Protestant Religion , as those who are actually Convicted ; His Majesty doth hereby further straitly Charge and Command all His Iudges , Iustices , Magistrates , Ministers and Officers , That if any Popish Recusant , or person reputed so to be , though not Convicted , being above the Age of Eighteen years , shall not repair to his or her place of abode , and there continue without removing or passing above Five miles from thence , That then such Popish Recusants , or persons reputed to be so respectively , shall be Prosecuted and brought to Punishment , as well by tendring unto them the Oaths of Allegiance and Supremacy , and taking advantage of their refusal thereof , as by putting in Execution the severest Laws which are now in force against them . And His Majesty doth hereby further signifie to all His Loving Subjects , That upon Certificate made to the Lord Chancellor of England , by any Iustice of the Peace , That there are any Popish Recusants , or persons reputed to be such , who do not give their Obedience to this His Majesties Royal Proclamation , together with the Names of such Offenders , His Majesty hath Commanded the said Lord Chancellor to Issue forth respective Commissions under the Great Seal of England , to the Iustices of the Peace ( of the several Counties , Cities and Liberties from which such Certificates shall come ) to Require and Authorize them , or any Two of them respectively , to tender and administer the said Oaths to the said Offenders accordingly . Provided , That nothing herein contained , shall be Construed to Command any Popish Recusant Convicted , or any other Popish Recusant , or person reputed to be such , to come within Ten miles of the Cities of London or Westminster , or to require any of the persons aforesaid to repair to their places of abode , or other the places aforesaid , who are Restrained by Imprisonment , or Disabled by such Sickness , as they shall not be able to Travel without imminent danger of life , during the respective times of such Imprisonment , or Disability ; or to Confine any such persons within the said space of Five miles from the places aforesaid , who shall be ( according to the Laws and Statutes of this Realm ) Allowed , or Licenced to Travel , or Remove from thence ; So that their Travelling , Attending , and Returning by pretence of such Allowance or Licence , be no longer , or otherwise then by the said Statutes is Warranted .

Given at Our Court at Whitehall , the Tenth day of November 1678. In the Thirtieth year of Our Reign . God save the King .
