WHereas Giles Mompesson, late Knight, for great and insufferable crimes by him committed, to the abuse of his majesty, and grievous oppression of his Subiects, hath by the high Court of Parliament been declared to bee Degraded of the Order of Knighthood, and sentenced and adiudged to sustain and bear other punishments, as by the Record of the foresaid Iudgement appeareth: The Kings most Excellent majesty approving in all things the just proceedings and sentence of the same his high Court of Parliament; Which to prevent, the said Mompesson( while the matters were in examination) escaped from his Keeper, and fled, and is not now to be found. nevertheless, His majesty( desiring to assure all his loving Subiects, how hateful and offensive it is to His majesty, that His people should be so injured, molested, vexed or oppressed, and willing by the severity of His Iustice to deter all others from any like attempt or enterprise hereafter) hath resolved( over and besides all the punishments inflicted vpon the said Mompesson, by the Iudgement of Parliament) to add this further punishment, in detestation of his offences, utterly to Banish and expel the said Giles Mompesson out of His realms of England, Scotland, and Ireland, and all other His majesties Dominions, as a person infamous and unworthy to partake of any the comforts of His majesties happy government. And therefore His majesty doth hereby expressly charge and command, that the said Giles Mompesson, if now he be abiding within any of His majesties Dominions, do forthwith, after the publication hereof, depart and withdraw himself out of the same: And that after such his departure, or if he be now in any parts out of His majesties Dominions, that he do not at any time hereafter return into the same or any of them, vpon pain to incur, not onely the severest& uttermost execution of the said Sentence and Iudgement of Parliament, but the forfeiture of whatsoever he may forfeit to His majesty, and of all such further punishment as His majesty in His Kingly power and prerogative may inflict vpon him.  
given at Our Palace of Westminster the thirtieth of March, in the nineteenth year of Our reign of Great britain, France, and Ireland.
