WILLIAM R.  
WHereas We have been Informed, That Roderick Mackenzie hath been Examined, and given Evidence before a Committee of the Commons in Parliament Assembled, in Relation to several Persons, who under Colour of an Act of Parliament Passed in Scotland, for Settling a Trade to the East Indies, had in this Kingdom Administered, and Taken an Oath De Fideli, and had also, under Colour of the said Act, Styled themselves a Company and Acted as such, and Raised Money in this Kingdom for Carrying on the said Company; And that since his said Examination, the said Roderick Mackenzie having been Summoned, and Appearing before the said Committee, had endeavoured to Suppress the Evidence he had before given against such Persons; And that to Avoid the Manifestation of the Truth, and (as much as in him lies) to Render all just and proper Methods of Prosecution in the Premises ineffectual, he the said Roderick Mackenzie hath withdrawn himself from his usual Place of Abode, and Absconded, intending, as may reasonably be supposed, to make his Escape out of this Kingdom. And whereas the Commons in Parliament Assembled, have, by their humble Address, besought Us to Issue Our Royal Proclamation, for Securing the Person of the said Roderick Mackenzie, We have thought fit, by the Advice of Our Privy Council, to Issue this Our Royal Proclamation, hereby Requiring and Commanding all Our Loving Subjects whatsoever, to Discover and Apprehend, and cause the said Roderick Mackenzie to be Discovered and Apprehended, and to carry him before some of Our justices of the Peace, or Chief Magistrates of the County, Town, or Place where he shall be Apprehended, who are respectively Required to Secure him, and thereof to give speedy Notice unto Our Privy Council, or One of Our Principal Secretaries of State, to the end he may be forthcoming, to be Dealt withal, and Proceeded against according to Law. And We do hereby strictly Charge and Command all Our Loving Subjects (as they will Answer the contrary at their perils) that they do not any ways Conceal, but do Discover the said Roderick Mackenzie, to the end he may be Secured and Proceeded against according to Law.  
Given at Our Court at Kensington the Thirteenth Day of February, 1695/6. In the Eighth Year of Our Reign.  
God save the King.
