ORMONDE.  
WHEREAS the late horrid Plot & Conspiracy of divers Priests and Jesuits, and other Papists, against His Majesty's Sacred Person, and for the Subversion of the Protestant Religion and his Majesty's Government, hath been so far discovered, that the said Effects thereof have by his Majesty's care and the blessing of Almighty God, been hitherto prevented, and the most Notorious Offenders therein brought to condign punishment in England, or are secured, or fled from Justice. And whereas nothing would more conduce to the lasting safety of his Majesty, his Kingdom, and the Protestant Religion therein Established, then that there might be a full and perfect Discovery of the said Conspiracy; and it is to be suspected, That many persons contrary to the Duty of their Allegiance, do still conceal their Knowledge of the said Plot, and the Conspirators therein, presuming that at any time hereafter (though never so late) when they shall offer a Discovery, they may obtain His Majesty's Pardon for all their offences. NOW for the more speedy and full discovery of the said Conspiracy, and to deter all persons whatsoever from concealing any longer their knowledge thereof. We the Lord Lieutenant and Council by his Majesty's Commands, do by this our Proclamation, strictly require and Command all and every person and persons whatsoever within this Kingdom of Ireland, who know, or can make discovery of any person or persons engaged in the said Conspiracy, or of any matter or circumstance relating thereunto, to discover and make known the same to Us the Lord Lieutenant and Council, or his Majesty's Principal Secretary of State, or to the Lord Chief Justice, or one of the Justices of the Court of King's Bench within this Kingdom, before the last day of February next; His Majesty having declared, that after that time his Pardon is not to be Expected for any such Treasons or misprisions of Treason.  
Given at the Council Chamber in Dublin, the 10th, day of December, 1679.
