A PROCLAMATION  
Anent the REBELS, who have not yet taken the Bond.  
CHARLES, By the Grace of GOD, King of Great Britain, France and Ireland, Defender of the Faith; To Our Lovits Macers of Our Privy Council, or Messengers at Arms, Our Sheriffs in that part, conjunctly and severally specially constitute, Greeting:  
We being desirous to satisfy, not only the reasons, but to take off the pretexts of such Our rebellious Subjects as are reclaimable, Have, upon information given to Us, that some of these who were ignorantly engaged in the Rebellion against Us at 〈…〉 bridge, did not know of the Proclamation concerning the Indemnity offered by Us, Resolved, to the end both Our Justice and Clemency might appear yet more convincingly to all those of this Our ancient Kingdom who have not accepted of Our former Indemnity, To grant them a further Diet for taking the Bond therein mentioned; And in order thereunto, We, with Advice of the Lords of Our Privy Council, do hereby declare, that whosoever of the said's Rebels (not being Heretors, Ministers, or Ringleaders) shall, betwixt and the first day of March next, appear before the persons after-named, The Sheriff-principal of the respective Shires, or their Deputes, or the Clerks of the Council, and declare, that they are hearty sorry for their being engaged in the said Rebellion, and subscribe a Bond, that hereafter they shall not take up Arms against Us or Our Authority, and thereupon obtain a Certificate recorded in the Books of Council, That they shall be hereby fully indemnified for their engagement in, or accession to, the said Rebellion; Providing always, that this Our Indemnity shall not be extended to such as were accessary to the horrid and barbarous murder of the late Archbishop of St. Andrews, nor to any Ministers, Heretors or Ringleaders; And with this express Provision and Declaration likewise, That this Our Indemnity shall not extend to such as are already taken prisoners, or shall not have taken the Bond before they be apprehended, if they be not apprehended six weeks after intimation hath been made hereof in the respective Shires where they dwell. And because this is to be the last Diet that Our Clemency can allow in this case, We do hereby strictly command and require Our Privy Council and Commissioners of Justiciary, to proceed according to Law against such of the said's Rebels as shall be found not to have taken the said Bond betwixt and the said first of March, though they have not been apprehended within that time, or such as being apprehended, have not taken the Bond within six weeks after the said intimation in the respective Shires. And to the effect, all persons concerned may have notice hereof, Our will is, and We charge you strictly and command, that incontinent, these Our Letters seen, ye pass to the Mercat-cross of Edinburgh, and other places needful, and there, in Our Name and Authority, by open Proclamation, make publication of the premises, that none pretend ignorance. And we Ordain these presents to be printed.  
Given under Our Signet at Edinburgh, the seventh day of October, one thousand six hundred and eighty, and of Our Reign, the two and thirtieth year. AL. GIBSON, Cl. Sti. Concilii. GOD save the KING.  
Follows the names of these appointed to take Bond from the Rebels in the respective Shires following.
