¶ A Proclamation commanding persons of quality to reside in their Countries.  
WHereas, by three former Proclamations, one dated the twentieth of November, another, the two and twentieth of December, in the twentieth year of Our Reign, and the third, the six and twentieth day of March, in the one and twentieth year of Our Reign; We did publish Our Royal pleasure, concerning the repair of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and of other persons of quality, from our Cities of London and Westminster, and the parts adjacent, and from other Cities and Towns, unto their Country dwellings: In all which was so fully declared Our constant and settled resolution, as. We presumed, would have cut off all hopes of change or alteration therein: Yet finding by experience, that such as are addicted unto that course, of withdrawing themselves from their Countries, are prone to flatter themselves in their vain humour; We have thought good (once more) to publish Our absolute and peremptory command, That Our said Proclamations be in all points dutifully obeyed. And to the intent, that all such, as shall presume to contemn Our Royal commandments, (so often iterated) may feel the severity of Our justice; We do hereby straight charge all Majors, Aldermen, justices of peace, and other head-Officers, aswell of Our said Cities of London and Westminster, and the parts adjacent, as of other Cities and Towns, That they from time to time, cause diligent survey and inquiry to be made within their several precincts, limits, and jurisdictions, of all offenders in this behalf, and make speedy certificate of their names, without partiality or connivance, unto the Lords of Our privy Council, or to Our Attorney general, that they may be proceeded against in Our Court of Star-chamber, or otherwise, according to their demerits. And Our will and pleasure is, That aswell the Lords of Our privy Council, as Our Attorney general, use all care and diligence, to punish with severity, aswell the partiality, negligence, and remissness of the said Majors, Aldermen, justices of peace, and other head-Officers, in not making due survey or certificate, as aforesaid, as the contemptuous behaviour of such, as shall presume to violate this, or any other Our said former Proclamations.  
Given at Our Court at Royston, the nineteenth day of October, in the two and twentieth year of Our Reign of Great Britain, France and Ireland. 
 God save the King.
