¶ By the King.  
WEe haue by our late Proclamation, published for the apprehension of one Anthony Copley, signified what grief it was unto us, that any subject of this realm, of how mean condition soever, should give us just cause to put in use the power of our laws for any offence against us in matter of loyalty. And although wee haue no little comfort in the experience which that first occasion gave us, of the love and obedience of the universal number of our Subiects, by whose diligence and care of our person the said Copley hath been apprehended: Yet hath the same brought us withall, cause of further grief, in that by the said Copleys confession, there is discovered a conspiracy of a great number of others to haue made an attempt not only dangerous to our Person, but to our whole State: whereof some principal Gentlemen of quality are already apprehended, some others cannot yet be found by the ordinary Ministers of our Iustice. Wherefore, we haue thought good to give knowledge of them to all our Subiects by open Proclamation, not doubting but to find as good fruits of their love in their diligent enquiry after these persons, as we did of Copley: Requiring and charging all Lieutenants, deputy Lieutenants, Iustices of Peace, Mayors, Sheriffes, bailiffs, Constables, and all other our Officers and Ministers whatsoever, to use all care and diligence in the inquiring, searching for, and apprehending of Sir Griffia Markham Knight, and such other persons, as are here in the foot of this Proclamation described. And if they shall be so happy as to find any of them, to sand them presently up to some of our council. And though we doubt not but that wee shall find good proof of the care of all good Subiects in doing their dueties herein: Yet seeing it is a cause that doth so nearly concern not onely our Person, but the subversion of the State of this realm, Wee cannot but add this further Charge, That if we shall perceive that any shall use remissness, negligence, or other omission of their duty in pursuing this our pleasure, We shall haue cause to judge otherwise of them, and to proceed otherwise with them, then willingly wee would haue cause to do with any subject of this realm; in whom we must aclowledge that in general we haue found as much love and duty, as could possibly be expressed.  
given at our Honour of Hampton-court the sixteenth day of july 1603. in the first year of our reign of England, France, and Ireland, and of Scotland the six and thirtieth. God save the King.
