And whereas several of the Persons concerned in the said Forgery and Counterfeiting are Apprehended , and in Custody for the said Offence , but others ( viz. ) Domingo Antunes a Portuguese , and Robert Marriot , a Taylor , who lately lived in Arundel-street , who were principally concerned therein , have Absconded from their usual Places of Abode , and are fled from Iustice : We therefore ( with the Advice of His Majesties most Honourable Privy Council ) have thought fit to Issue this Proclamation , hereby Commanding all His Majesties Loving Subjects to Discover , Take and Apprehend the said Domingo Antunes , and Robert Marriot wherever they or either of them may be found , and to carry them before the next Iustice of Peace or Chief Magistrate , who is hereby Required to Commit them to the next Goal , there to remain until they shall be thence Delivered by due Course of Law . And We do hereby Require the said Iustice , or other Chief Magistrate immediately to give Notice thereof to His Majesties Privy Council , or to one of His Majesties Principal Secretaries of State . And We do hereby strictly Charge and Command all His Majesties Loving Subjects ( as they will Answer the contrary at their Perils ) that they do not any ways Conceal , but Discover , Take and Apprehend the said Domingo Antunes and Robert Marriot , or either of them , to the end they may be proceeded against for such their Offence , according to Law . And We do hereby Promise and Declare , That whosoever shall Discover and Apprehend the said Domingo Antunes and Robert Marriot , or either of them , and bring them before such Iustice of the Peace , or Chief Magistrate , shall receive as a Reward for each of the said Persons , the Sum of One hundred Pounds ; which said Sum of One hundred Pounds the Commissioners of His Majesties Treasury are hereby Directed to Pay accordingly . And We do hereby further Promise and Declare , That if any of the Persons concerned in the said Forgery and Counterfeiting ( except the said Domingo Antunes and Robert Marriot ) shall Discover and Apprehend the other Persons concerned in the said Forgery and Counterfeiting , or any or either of them , and bring them before such Iustice of the Peace or Chief Magistrate , as aforesaid , such Person shall not only have and receive the said Reward of One hundred Pounds , but shall also have His Majesties Gracious Pardon for such his Offence .
