❧ A Proclamation declaring His Majesty's Royal pleasure touching the English Soldiers late employed at Sea in His Service, and now discharged.  
WHereas His Majesty hath lately employed in His Service at Sea, several Troops and Companies of English Soldiers, and hath now upon their return paid unto them their Wages, and entertainment due, and discharged them from His Service, and furnished them with printed Passes, and money in their purses for their necessary charges in their return to the places mentioned in their Passes; Now to the end that no idle wandering, or dissolute persons, under colour of having been Soldiers, or of travailing home to their friends or habitations, should slander that profession, and be burdensome or offensive to His good Subjects: His Majesty hath thought fit, and doth hereby publish and declare His Royal pleasure and proceed in that behalf, and doth hereby charge, and strictly command, all the Soldiers so lately employed, and now paid, and discharged as aforesaid, that according to their several Passes, and the days thereby limited unto them, they use all convenient diligence, and endeavour to return to their several places mentioned in their Passes, & there bestow & employ themselves in their honest Vocations, until His Majesty shall have some other occasion to use their Service. And His Majesty doth further charge & command all and singular Mayors, Sheriffs, justices of Peace, Constables, Headboroughs, and all other His Majesty's Officers, Ministers, and loving Subjects, that if any of the said Soldiers, or any other, under the name or pretence of having been a Soldier, shall at any time hereafter be taken without a Pass, or having a Pass shall be taken begging, or wandering contrary to the Law, or in any sort misbehaving, or misdemeaning himself, that then, and in every such case upon notice thereof given or taken in that behalf, they shall be corrected and punished according to the Law, and according to the nature or quality of the offence; Whereof, every one whom it doth or may concern, in his several place, is hereby to take notice, and duly to observe and perform His Majesty's Royal pleasure and command, in all and every the premises, at his peril.  
Given at Our Palace of White-Hall, this fifteenth day of November, in the fourth year of Our Reign of Great Britain, France, and Ireland.  
God save the King.
