A PROCLAMATION FOR Recalling of Commissions at Sea.  
CHARLES R.  
WHEREAS sundry Commissions have, heretofore, been issued out, and granted, as well by the King's Majesty, as by his Royal Brother the Duke of York, Lord High Admiral of England, to divers of His majesty's Subjects and others, by Sea, with Authority and Command, in hostile manner, to proceed against and prosecute his Enemies. His Majesty, by the Blessing of Almighty God, being happily restored unto His Throne, out of his tender care and respect to the welfare of his Loving Subjects, conceaving that the Authority by the said Commissions granted, may, possibly be extended (contrary to his purpose) to the damage and hurt of his true and faithful People, and to the great obstruction of the Trade and Commerce of his Kingdoms and Dominions; For prevention whereof, he is graciously pleased to revoke, annul, and make void, and doth hereby, revoke, annul, and make void, all and every the said Commissions, and all Powers and Authorities in them, or any of them contained, by His Majesty, or the Duke of York, before the first of May last granted, to any of his Subjects or others, for Maritime or Sea-Affairs, in manner as aforesaid, hereby willing and commanding them, and every of them, to forbear the further prosecution, using, or execution of the same Commissions, or any thing therein expressed, upon pain of such punishment, as by the Laws may, therefore, be inflicted upon them as Pirates; And his Majesty doth farther will, require, and command all and every his Subjects, who now are in the Service of any Foreign Prince or State, by Sea, or in Sea-Affairs, forthwith, upon notice hereof, to repair to his majesty's Service, at home, in his Dominions.  
Given at Our Court at Whitehal, the Fifteenth of June, in the Twelfth Year of his majesty's Reign, 1660.
