A PROCLAMATION Prohibiting all Ecclesiastical Meetings in Synods or Presbyteries , until Authorized and Ordered by the ARCHBISHOP and BISHOPS .

THE Lords of His Majesties Privy Council having considered His Majesties Letter , of the date at Whitehall the Twenty Eight of December last , one thousand six hundred and sixty one ; bearing , that whereas by the advice and consent of the Parliament , His Majesty did allow the administration of the Church Government of this Kingdom by Sessions , Presbyteries and Synods , notwithstanding of the Act Rescissory , untill His Majesty should take care for the better setling of the Government thereof . And that having , by a late Proclamation , of the date the sixth of September , one thousand six hundred and sixty one , declared His Royal pleasure for restoring the ancient and legal Government of the Church , by Archbishops and Bishops , as it was exercised in the year one thousand six hundred and thirty seven ; and that in pursuance of that resolution , His Majesty hath nominated and presented persons to the several Bishopricks of this Kingdom : of whom some have been lately consecrated and invested with the same Dignities , Church-power and Authority , which was formerly competent to the Archbishops and Bishops of this Church , in the reigns of His Royal Grand-father and Father of blessed memory ; and that the allowance of the administration of this Church , in the way it hath been , since the violent interruption of Episcopal Government , being inconsistent with the same now established , is now of it self void and expired , as being only for a time till His Majesty should settle and secure Church Government in a frame most suteable to Monarchy , and complying with the peace of the Kingdom , and so the said allowance should be of no further force and continuance , but the jurisdiction and exercise of Church Government should be ordered in the respective Synods , Presbyteries and Sessions of this Church , by the Appointment and Authority of the Archbishops and Bishops thereof , according to the standing Laws and their known Priviledge and Practice conform thereto . And that special care be taken that all due reverence and respect be given by all the Subjects to the Arch-bishops and Bishops of the Church , and that they have all countenance , assistance and incouragement from the Nobility , Gentry and others , in the discharge of their Office and Service to His Majesty in the Church . And that strict notice be taken of all and every one who shall presume to reflect or express any dis-respect to their Persons , Function or Authority , with which they are invested : which His Majesty requires to be intimate to the whole Lieges by Proclamation , discharging all Ecclesiastical Meetings in Synods , Presbyteries or Sessions , until they be authorized and ordered by the Archbishops and Bishops upon their entry unto the Government of their respective Seas , which is to be done speedily . Therefore in obedience of , and conform to , His Majesties Royal pleasure and command , have Ordained , and by these presents ordain the Lyon King at Arms and his brethren Heraulds , Pursevants , and Messengers at Arms , to pass to the Mercat Crosse of Edinburgh , and there by open Proclamation to make publication of His Majesties Royal pleasure foresaid , discharging all Ecclesiastical Meetings in Synods , Presbyteries and Sessions , until they be authorized and ordered by the Archbishops and Bishops , upon their entring unto the Government of their respective Seas , as said is ; and to require all His Majesties Subjects of whatsoever rank , quality or degree they be , to give all due reverence and respect unto the Archbishops and Bishops ; and that all the Nobility , Gentry and Borroughs , Sheriffs of Shires , Stewarts of Stewartries , Baylies of Regalities , Magistrates of Burghs , Iustices of Peace , and other publick Ministers within their respective bounds and jurisdictions , at all times give all countenance , assistance and encouragement to them , in the discharge of their Office and Service to His Majesty in the Church ; with certification , that if any shall presume to reflect or express any dis-respect to their Persons , Function or Authority , with which they are invested , they shall be severely and exemplarly punished , according to the nature and quality of their offence . And Ordains these presents to be printed , and published at the Mercat Cross of Edinburgh , as said is , and other places needfull , that none may pretend ignorance .
