❧ By the King.  
THe foul and insolent outrages lately committed vpon the borders of our realms of England and Scotland by persons accustomend in former times to live by rapine and spoil, praying daily vpon our good and loving Subiects without fear of God or man, hath given us just cause to use, all means convenient both for the relief of our Subiects damnifyed, and for prevention of the like mischief hereafter. Wherefore as of late we gave commission to proceed against those persons, that were guilty of those foul facts: So now again, because as yet such redress hath not followed as both our honour and our good Subiects loss do require, We haue thought good to renew that our Commission to certain persons of quality and of good understanding in the affairs of those our Borders, And withall, to publish by open proclamation to all men, but specially to such, as are guilty, or were partakers of the foul incursions made vpon our first coming to our crown of this our realm of England, or any others before or since, That whereas some of them haue of late submitted themselves, and some others seemed to be willing to submit themselves to our merry, Because they and all others shall know, that as we are a Prince that before all worldly respects whatsocuer affecteth the preservation of Iustice among our people, and the punishment of such, as break the Rules thereof, So that we are not indisposed to show mercy where there is cause to extend it, and where the same is sought at our hands in such dutiful maner, as is meet: We do therefore charge all persons whatsoever, who know themselves to haue been actors, Partners, or of consent to that incursion above mentioned, or to any other breach of our peace within the Counties and limits heretofore called our Borders both of the English side and of the Scottish, that they do before the twentieth day of june next coming resort to such place, where they shall understand our Commissioners to be, and there submit themselves to such mercy and favour, as wee shall think good to extend towards them: Assuring them in the word of our royal and Supreme power, that whosoever of them shall not before the said twentieth day of june haue submitted himself according to the tenor of this our Proclamation, shall hold himself for ever excluded from our mercy without hope at any time to obtain grace or favour, but to abide the rigour of such punishment, as our power can lay upon him.  
given at our manor of Greenwich the seventeenth day of May, 1603. in the first year of our reign of England, France and Ireland, and of Scotland the six and thirtieth. 
 God save the King.
