A Proclamation commanding all persons upon the Borders of England, to keep peace towards Scotland, upon the like Proclamation by the King of Scots towards England.  
WHereas of late time there hath been great disorders by Incursions into our Realm of multitude of Scottishmen dwelling upon the Borders of our Realm towards Scotland, committing both murders, taking of prisoners, burning of houses, and taking of goods and cattle, whereof our Wardens have made complaints to the opposite Wardens and Officers, and thereof the King of Scots, our good brother hath been advertised, and hath answered, that he very willingly would give order for redress thereof, And to that purpose hath by his Proclamation charged all his Wardens and Officers upon the Borders, and other his Subjects whawtsoever, to observe and keep the peace, and in no wise to invade, molest, or do any injury to any of our subjects, adding thereto very honourable directions for observing thereof upon great pains, as by the said Proclamation further hath appeared unto us: He for our part being of the same good mind for maintenance of common peace, do straightly charge and command all our Wardens of the three Marches, and all other our Officers and do straightly charge and command all our Wardens of the three Marches, and all other our Officers and subjects within the said Marches, to live in peace and quietness, and in no wise to make any incursion into Scotland privately or publicly: But if any offence shall be done unto them it their bodies, lands, or goods by any Scottish man, that then they forbear to revenge the same by any open hostility, but make their complaints and pursuits to the opposite Wardens, according to the laws of the Frontiers: And if redress shall not be made unto them, than we will that our Warden, where the offence shall be committed, shall give knowledge thereof to the King our good brother by our Ambassador there resident, hoping thereby both that our Subjects damnified shall be relieved, and the King's Officers refusing to give justice, shall be chastised and corrected, the like whereof upon complaint of any Scottish men against our Subjects or our Wardens, we mind to see severely redressed.  
And though this present order now given by these our mutual Proclamations, may by good likelihood stay any further disorders from this time forward, yet considering the multitude of offences, that have been committed by the Scots, against our Subjects, is so great and lamentable for our Subjects to suffer, either unredressed (as far forth as the same may be) or unrevenged, as might have been, if our subjects had not been prohibited to seek the same by force: Yet we would have our subjects that have been so injured without redress, to understand, that as the king of Scots offereth to have Commissioners authorized for his part to repair to the Borders, to meet with some to be appointed by us, amicably and peaceably to hear the complaints both of ours and his subjects, and to give speedy redress and satisfaction, according to the laws and customs of the Borders, and agreeable with the treaties of amity betwixt us & the said King, for mutual justice and continuance of peace: so also we mean therein to do the like, & to make choice of some special men of knowledge & good disposition to peace, to repair to the Frontiers, and there to join with such as the Ring of Scots shall appoint for his part: Willing and commanding our Wardens and other our Officers in the mean time, to cause all persons subjects, having just cause of complaint, and that have had no redress, to make ready their complaints in writing, with the due proofs thereof, to be delivered to our several Wardens, whereby the same may be in more readiness, to be heard and ordered mutually by our said Commissioners. And this our commandment and determination we will and command our Wardens to cause to be published in all places public within their Offices, and like wise to give knowledge thereof to the Wardens opposite of Scotland, and other public Officers upon the Scottish Frontiers, thereby to move them to be correspondent in their actions, agreeable to this common determination of us and the King our good brother.  
Given under our Signet at our Manor of Greenwich, the xx, day of August in the xxxviii. year of our Reign. 
 God save the Queen.
