❧ By the queen. ❧ A Proclamation commanding all persons vpon the Borders of England, to keep Peace towards Scotland, vpon the like Proclamation by the King of Scotts towards England. WHere we by our Proclamation the summer last made known to all our loving Subiects, what we had resolved should be precisely observed, as well by our principal Officers, as all other persons under them agreeable unto the like others, published by our good brother the King of Scotts, for staying all courses of violence or injustice, to be committed by any of either part; Forasmuch as we are informed daily and hourly, of the continual spoils and outrages committed in both realms, even during the time of the late treaty, as well as since the determination thereof; we do no we by these presents notify to all our Subiects, that although our meaning is not in any sort to oversee the redresses of any injuries, which our Subiects shall or haue received; Yet forasmuch as our good brother the King of Scotts doth by his special letters to us as otherwise, she we himself offended mightily with his bad Officers vpon his frontiers, for the breach of his commandment, and is desirous to yield us and our Subiects all due satisfaction, according to honour and Justice, agreeable to all former and late Treaties, having for that purpose caused order to be taken by the Wardens of his Borders, and for delivery of Pledges, according to the Indents agreed vpon by our late mutual Commissioners; Wee haue thought it our part at this time, to show ourselves no less conformable to quietness then we find the King of Scotts to bee, and therefore attending the issue of such proceedings, as shal be further agreed on between us the two Princes, we do straightly charge and command all our Wardens of the three Marches, and all other our Officers and Subiects within the said Marches, to live in peace and quietness, without offering any maner of incursion, stealth or injury, privately or publicly, whereby they may be reputed authors of any breach or interruption of that good work, which wee haue in hand; Wherein of the contrary part, if any offence shalbe offered them by the Opposites, which shall not presently be satissied, according to the laws of the Frontiers, we will not onely leave our Subiects to their liberty of just reuenge, but further will enable them with our own extraordinary powers, according to the care and love which wee haue and ever will use towards them, whom God hath committed to our charge. And where our good brother the King of Scotts hath in this kind acquainted us with his purpose, to publish a Proclamation to the like intent, that the Opposites may take notice of this our determination, and thereby seriously conform themselves to correspondency in all actions, We will and command our Wardens to cause this to be published in all places publiue within their Offices, & like wise to give knowledge thereof to the Wardens Opposite in Scotland, and other Officers of Scotland vpon the Frontiers. given under our Signet at our Mannor of greenwich the xiii. day of August in the xxxix. year of our reign. God save the queen. ❧ Imprinted at London by the Deputies of Christopher Barker, printer to the queens most excellent majesty. 1597.
