BY THE COMMISSIONERS For Visiting the UNIVERSITIES , COLLEDGES , and SCHOOLES of Learning in SCOTLAND .

WHereas by our former Proclamation , bearing date the second day of August , 1653. All Ministers , and others are prohibited to Pray for , or , Preach up the Interest of the pretended King of Scotland ; And , after so long waiting with patience , we hoped at last to have seen the peaceable fruits of obedience to the present Government ; But in stead thereof , finding that severall Ministers in this Nation , continue to keep the Interest of Charles Stuart alive in the hearts of the people , by putting them in minde of him in th●ir daily publick Prayers and Preaching , ( whom God hath signally rejected from having any authority over the Subjects of this Common wealth ) whereby the hands of Malignants have been strengthened , expence and trouble to this Commonwealth much increased , many peaceable spirits in danger to be dis-composed , and their hearts drawn off from this present Government : We do therefore hereby ( in the name of his Highness the Lord Protector of this Common-wealth ) Prohibit all , and every person in this Nation , from , and after the day of the Publication hereof , to pay , or cause to be paid any manner of Stipend , Maintenance , or Arears thereof to any such Minister as hath already , or shall hereafter , by praying for the pretended King contravene and contemn our aforesaid Proclamation : And of this we require all manner of persons to take notice , as they will avoide the Censure of Contemnours of the present Authority , or would not incur such penalty as the Commissioners shall think fit . And , to the end that none may pretend ignorance hereof , We do hereby require all Sheriffs in this Nation , to cause this our Order to be forthwith Published and Proclaimed within the chief Mercat-Towns , or Burroughs within their respective Jurisdictions , and that care be taken that it be sent to the severall parishes and Burroughs , to be there publickly affixed on the dores of their Churches , and Mercat-Crosses .
