❧ By the King.  
ALthough it cannot be without grief to us to publish, that in this our kingdom we should find any subject so contrary to all the rest of our loving people, who in so great multitudes haue made perfect proof of their unspotted lyaltie to us: Yet hath there such an accident happened so farce beyond our expectation, as We could not conceal it without prciudice to ourself, and our Estate, whereof we assure our Sclues, that al our good subiects will be very sensible, That is, that it hath been discovered to us by several persons, that our Anthony Copley, the younger brother of one Copley that is lately returued from foreign parts unto this country, hath dealt with some to be of a conspiracy to use some violence vpon our Person, whereby must either haue followed peril to our life, or danger of innovation in our State. Which Anthony Copley, having been sought for since his practising with others, by the ordinary Officers and ministers our State, in places about our Court, and our city of London, cannot yet be found: So as it seemeth he lurketh very closely, awaiting opportunity to attempt his treasonable purposes, or to procure other of our Subiects to conspire with him in so disioyall a fact.  
Wherefore we haue found it necessary to make public declaration to all our people of his wicked purpose, knowing well that all true and loyal Subiects, howsoever divided from the State in matter of Religion, will abhor so vngrations and traitorous a mind, of which good affection Wee require them all to make proof, by doing their endeuouts to discover and apprchend the said Anthony Copley wheresoever he may bee found: Charging all Lieutenants, deputy Lieutenants, Iustices of Peace, Maiors, sheriffs, Constables, and all other our Ministers whomsoever, so be diligent in inquiring and searching for the said Anthony Copley: whom if they shall happen to take, Our pleasure is they sand him presently to our privy counsel, or to some of our ordinary Magistrates, to abide the trial of our laws for his fact. And do further declare, That if any person on our realm shall conceal, harbour, keep or maintain the said Anthony Copley, after they haue by this our Proclamation, or otherwise, notice of his traitorous purpose: Wee must, as there is just cause, extend against them the power of our indignation, and the rigour of our laws, though we shall be sorry to find any such occasion given by any of our Subiects whom we do hold so dear.  
given at our Honour of Windsor the second day of july, in the first year of our reign of England, France and Ireland, and the six and thirtieth of Scotland. 
 God save the King.
