BY THE KING CHARLES By the Grace of God , King of Great Brittain , France and Ireland , Defender of the Faith ; To all and sundry his Lieges and Subjects , greeting .

Whereas the Lord hath been pleased in his gracious goodnesse and tender mercy , to discover unto his Maiesty the great evill of the wayes wherein he hath been formerly led by wicked Counsell , and hath so far blessed the endeavours of this Kirk and Kingdome , as his Maiesty hath now sworne and subscribed the Solemn League and Covenant , and given satisfaction to their desires : And whereas his Maiesty is most willing and desirous to grant the Propositions of both Kingdoms presented to his Royall Father at New-Castle , and Hampton-Court , with such alterations and additions as shall be thought necessary for the good of King and Kingdoms , and to give such farther satisfaction to his people of England , as shall be desired by his two Houses of the Parliament of England , sitting in Freedom . And forasmuch as an Army from he Sectarian party in England , under the Command of L. G. Cromwell , after all the evill and wickednesse committed in England , in murthering his Majesties Royall Father , using force against the two Houses of Parliament , and oppressing their fellow Subiects in England and Ireland , hath now also invaded this Kingdom , contrary to the solemn League and Covenant , and the Treaty betwixt the Kingdomes , wherein his Maiesty is perswaded , that many of the Officers and Souldiers of the said Army have been misled through the craft and subtilty of others , who have contrived and designed the subversion of all Government , Civill and Ecclesiasticall in all the three Kingdoms , and to subiect all persons to their Tyrannicall usurpation and domination . Therefore his Maiesty from the pious and tender care he hath to reclaime his Subiects from such unlawfull and rebellious courses , doth hereby offer a free Pardon and Indemnity to all Officers and Souldiers of the said English Army now within this Kingdom , for any thing done , or acted by them against his Majesty and his Royal Father , during these troubles , who shal immediately upon sight of this his Majesties gracious offer leave that Army , and come over to the Scottish Army , where they shal be courteously used and entertained ; Provided alwayes that this his Maiesties offer shal not be understood to comprehend any person or persons , who after the said force used against the Houses of Parliament , having sitten in the pretended House of Commons , or in any other Court , pretending power from them , did vote the taking away of his Maiesties Royall fathers life ;

Given at our Castle of Sterling , the 27. of July . And of our Reign , the Second year , 1650.
