ΒΆ A Proclamation to give Assurance unto all His Majesties Subjects in the Islands and Continent of America , of His , Majesties Royall Care over them , and to preserve them in their due Obedience . CHARLES by the grace of God , King of England , Scotland , France and Ireland , Defendor of the Faith &c. Whereas We have seen a Paper , called an Ordinance of the pretended Houses of the Lords and Commons in Parliament , ordered to be Printed the second day of this instant November , Whereby Robert Earle of Warwick is made Governor in chiefe , and Lord High Admirall of all those Islands and other Plantations inhabited , Planted , or belonging to any of Our Subjects within the Bounds , and upon the Coasts of America , and a Committee appoynted to be assisting unto him in the Government thereof : The intention of which Ordinance cannot reasonably be conceived to be other , then to spread the contagion of this horrid Rebellion , even unto those remoter parts , and that the continuers thereof ( foreseeing how little prosperous their wicked Designes are likely to prove here in Our Realme of England ) may provide for themselves a place of Retreat and Security in those Westerne Countries ; The consequences whereof would be the disturbance of that quiet , which chose Our Subjects in America doe yet injoy under Our Government , and instead of Peace , to introduce amongst them the like Oppressions , Bloodshed , Rapine , Disorders and Confusion in Church and State , as they have brought already into some parts of this Our Kingdome , and would have gone farther on , if the Goodnesse of Almighty God , giving strength to Our Forces , and successe to Our Enterprises , had not given a stop to their Malitious and Rebellious attempts . To prevent which inconveniences from those Westerne parts , out of Our Royall care of Our good Subjects there , We have thought good hereby to give timely notice unto them , not only that the said Ordinance was made without Our Royall assent , and therefore that it ought not to bind any of Our Subjects , but also that the said Earle of Warwick : hath been justly Proclaimed a Traitor by Us , and that he still persists in his Treason and Rebellion against Us ; and therefore We doe require and Command all Our Subjects whatsoever , That they doe not give obedience to the said Ordinance , nor unto him the said Earle , as their Governor , or Admirall , nor to any other by pretence of any Authority from him , or from any of the said Committee , but that they shall endeavour the suppression of all such Rebellious Attempts , as they shall have means and Opportunity to doe it . And We doe farther declare , That as We have given unto all Our faithfull Subjects in generall all possible testimonies and assurances of Our care of their wellfare and happinesse , in preservation of the true Protestant Religion established by the Lawes , the Liberty of their Persons , the Propriety of their Goods , and the just Priviledges of Parliaments , which We have done by such Professions before Almighty God , and such Acts of Grace , as have exceeded all the Precedents of former times : So shall Our Subjects in the said Islands , and Continent of America in particular , find the constant fruits and effects of Our gratious Government and Protection , and of those assurances , in as full and ample measure as any other Our Subjects whatsoever . And therefore We doe strictly charge and Command all Governors and Magistrates , who exercise any authority under Us in the said Islands and Plantations , That they doe not only publish unto Our good People there , these Our gratious intentions towards them , but that they let them feel the benefit thereof , by due administration of Justice amongst them , and by seasonable Provisions of all things needfull for their defence and prosperity . And We doe in like manner require all Our said Subjects , that they persist in their due Allegiance and Obedience unto Us , whereto they are obliged by all Lawes Divine and Humane ; and that they receive not any Governors nor Commanders , or obey any Ordinances contrary to , or without Our Royall consent , but that they pursue and apprehend them as Traytors to Our Royall Person and Dignity ; and that as they tender their duty to God , the avoyding of Our High Displeasure , and the preservation of their own Peace and Happinesse . Given at Our Court at Oxford , the Twenty fourth day of November , in the Nineteenth yeare of Our Raigne . 1643. God save the King .
