FOrasmuch as the great Clemency and Indulgence which Their Majesties have extended to Their Popish Subjects of this Kingdom , in receiving many of them into Their most Gracious Protection , when by a Late Rebellion they had incurred the severest Penalties of the Law , have not been able to reclaim several of them from their Traiterous and Wicked Practices , but that by holding a Secret Correspondency with the Rebels now in Arms , they do still carry on many Dangerous and Horrid Designs , to the Disturbance of this Their Majesties Government , as doth more particularly appear by a Late Discovery of a Design to burn this City upon the Rebels approach toward it . We taking into Our Serious Consideration , that the great number of Papists and other Disaffected Persons , who have lately resorted to this City , and now upon Tender of the Oath of Fidelity to Their Present Majesties , have refused to take the same , do greatly encourage others of the same Persuasion to persist in such their Traiterous and Damnable Practices : For the Prevention thereof , and for the quieting the Minds of all Their Majesties Loving Subjects of this Kingdom , have thought fit to cause several of the said Suspected Persons to be removed from the City of Dublin , and the Suburbs and Liberties of the same , by Our Order bearing Date the Eighth of December , 1690. To the end therefore that none of the said suspected Persons , upon any Pretence whatsoever , during this present Rebellion , may resort to the said City or Liberties , or any other Garrison under the Obedience of Their Majesties . We do hereby strictly will and Command all and every the Persons so removed by Our said Order , not to return to the said City of Dublin . or the Suburbs or the Liberties thereof , nor to any other Garrison under Their Majesties Obedience , during this present Rebellion , upon pain to be proceeded against as Spies and Contemners of Their Majesties Authority .
