By His highness the Prince of Great Britain, Duke of CONWALL and ALBANY, Highest Captain general of all His majesty's Forces raised and to be raised within the Kingdom of England, Dominion of Wales and Town of Berwick, &c.  
A PROCLAMATION, For all persons within Our Quarters in the County of DEVON able to bear Arms, not being otherwise employed by His highness, or dispensed withal, to attend His highness now advancing in Person to meet the Rebels.  
AS ALSO For a general Supplication to be made in all Churches of DEVON and EXETER, on Sunday the 4. of January, for God's blessing on His highness, and His Forces.  
WHereas, upon the motion of the Enemy on this side Exeter, We have resolved in Our own Person to repair to Our Army, & to that end We resolve with all possible expedition to advance with Our Forces, hoping, by the blessing of God, to expel the Enemy from this County, We have thought fit to publish and declare this Our resolution, desiring and requiring all loyal and able men of what degree or quality soever within Our Quarters in that County as well those of the Trained-Bands, as all others able to bear Arms, who are not otherwise employed or dispensed with by us, to repair to us very speedily in person, to Our assistance, with such Arms as they can bring; And We must profess that We shall impute the absence of any person, not so employed or dispensed with as aforesaid, to want of Loyalty, or want of Courage, both which at so important a time, and upon so important an occasion, We hold equally odious. And for the procuring a blessing from God upon this Our first enterprise, which We undertake for his Service, and for the procuring a blessed Peace upon this miserable Kingdom, towards the which Our entreaties and earnest desires of mediation have been rejected, We desire that on Sunday next a general Supplication may be made in all the Churches within Our Quarters for God's blessing upon us and Our Forces, intending also to see the like Supplication solemnly made by the whole Army, when We shall have drawn it into a body. And the high-sheriff of Devon is to cause this Our Declaration and Proclamation to be speedily published in all Market-Towns and public Meetings in Our Quarters there, and read in all the Churches and chapels within the said County, We having directed the like to be done in Our duchy of Cornwall, and hereby likewise directing the like to be done in the City of Exeter.  
Given at Our Court at Tavistoke the 29. of Decemb. 1645.
