¶ A Proclamation prohibiting the publishing, dispersing and reading of a Declaration of Remonstrance, drawn by some Committees of the Commons-House of the late dissolved Parliament, and intended to have been preferred by them to his MAJESTY.  
HIs most Excellent Majesty, taking knowledge of a Declaration of Remonstrance, drawn and penned by some Committees of the Commons House of the late dissolved Parliament, and intended to have been preferred by them to His Majesty, wherein are contained many things, which tend much to the dishonour of His now Majesty, and of His late Majesty, His Royal Father of ever blessed memory, deceased; and whereby, through the sides of a Peer of this Realm, they wound the honour of their Sovereigns, Whereof His Majesty being sensible, hath refused to admit the presenting thereof unto Him: And whereas He understandeth, that some of the members of that House, ill affected to His service, to vent their own passions against that Peer, at whom they specially aimed, & to prepossess the world with an ill opinion of him, before his Cause were heard in a Judicial way, whereunto it was referred, have beforehand willingly & purposely published and scattered Copies of that intended Declaration or Remonstrance, & thereby have endeavoured to detract much from the reputation of their Sovereign, which in their allegiance to His Highness ought to have been dear and tender unto them. His Majesty therefore, for the repressing of such an insufferable wrong unto Himself, which might otherwise be of ill consequence, Doth straight charge and command, upon pain of His indignation and high Displeasure, all persons, of what degree, quality, or condition soever, who have, or at any time hereafter shall have any Copy or Notes of the said Declaration or Remonstrance, intended to be preferred unto His Majesty, as aforesaid, or shall come to the view thereof, forthwith, upon publication of this Our Pleasure, to burn the same, that the memory thereof may be utterly abolished, and never give occasion to His Majesty, to renew the remembrance of that, which out of His Grace and Goodness He would gladly forget: And if at any time hereafter any Copy or Notes of the said Declaration or Remonstrance shall be found, or known to be in the hands or custody of any of His subjects, and not burnt, or caused to be burnt by them, as aforesaid; His Majesty doth hereby declare, and publish His Royal Pleasure and Resolution to be, That He will proceed against all such offenders and wilful contemners of this His Royal Commandment, with that severity, which by the Law, or by His Prerogative Royal, He any ways may justly do; and further, that His Majesty will esteem of all such, as persons ill affected both to His Person and government.  
Given at His Majesty's Palace of Westminster the sixteenth day of june, in the second year of His Majesty's Reign of Great Britain, France and Ireland.  
God save the King.
