FOrasmuch as one Henry Feild, having by Our special command been apprehended for great contempts and offences by him done, against Ourself and Our Laws, hath two several times reseve himself, and escaped away from those that had him in their custody, and now (as it seemeth) lurketh very closely in some secret places, and will not submit himself to Justice, to the great abuse, and unsufferable contempt of Us and our Regal authority; We have thought it fit to publish his escape and contempt to all our loving Subjects, not doubting of their care & forwardness in his Discovery and Apprebension: And We do hereby charge and command all Justices of Peace, Mayor, Sheriffs, Constables, Headboroughs, and all other Our Officers, Ministers and Subjects whatsoever, to be diligent in enquiring and searching for the said Henry Field in all places whatsoever, aswell within Liberties as without; whom if they shall happen to find, Our pleasure is, they take and send him, with sufficient Guard, to the Gaol of the County or place where he shall be taken, there to remain in safe custody, and presently to advertise one of Our principal Secretaries of his apprehension. And We do promise to bestow upon such person as shall apprehend the said Field, or cause him to be apprehended, the sum of ten Pounds, for such his care and pains therein. And as We are pleased to reward the endeavours of such as shallbe zealous in performance of this Our pleasure; so We do hereby let all men know, that if any person, after this Our Proclamation published, shall directly or indirectly conceal, harbour, keep, relieve, or maintain the said Henry Feild, or shall not use their best endeavour for his apprehension, aswell by giving due advertisement thereof, to Our Officers, as by all other good means, We will (as there is just cause) proceed against them so neglecting this Our commandment with all severity. And to the end the said Henry Feild may the better be discovered, We have thought fit to describe him herein: He is a man of a middle stature, about forty years of age, some pockholes about his nose, his face lean, his complexion sallow, very hollow eyed, the hair of his head brownish, his beard some what lighter, thin of hair, and cut short and blunt; when he was last seen, he ware a cloth suit of dark green colour, with two laces in aseame, of a lighter colour. Given at Our Court at Greenwich the thirtieth day of May, in the one and twentieth year of Our Reign of Great Britain, France and Ireland. God save the King. ¶ Imprinted at London by Bonham Norton and john Bill, Printers to the Kings most Excellent Majesty. M.DC.XXIII.
