THe queens majesty perceiving, that notwithstanding the notorious offence of Thomas Cobham, committed on the Seas, against certain Subiectes of her good brother the king of spain, for apprehension of whom, commandment hath ben given to the ports of the realm: yet the said Thomas Cobham, as it is reported, hath ben secretly in certain places on the land, nere the Sea side, and not apprehended. For remedy hereof, and for a direct and speedy proceeding in Iustice against him: Willeth and commandeth all manner of persons, of what condition soever they be, to do their uttermost to apprehend by Sea or by land the said Thomas, or any of his complices. And if any person shall harbour, or any wise directly or indirectly, succour or relieve him, or any of his complices, or shall forbear to do their endeavour to stay him, or any of them, wheresoever he or they may reasonably be stayed: her majesty will, that such persons for such succouring of him, or forbearing to do their endeavour to apprehend him or his complices, shalbe taken and ordered as accessories to piracy.
