¶ A second Proclamation for the apprehension of Richard Smith, a Popish Priest, styled, and calling himself, The Bishop of Calcedon.  
WHereas by Our Proclamation, bearing date the eleventh day of December last past,( for the reasons in that Our Proclamation expressed) Wee did straitly command, that none of Our Subiects should harbour or conceal the said Smith, but that forthwith they should arrest and apprehended his body, and bring him before the next Iustice of Peace, to the place where he should bee apprehended, whom Wee thereby commanded to commit him to prison without bail or mainprize, and presently to inform us, or Our privy counsel, of his apprehension: And Wee did thereby declare, That if any person should then after, directly or indirectly, harbour or conceal the said Smith, or use, or connive at any means, whereby the said Smith might escape from being apprehended or arrested, that Wee should extend the uttermost severity of Our laws against every such offender, as by Our Proclamation more at large appeareth; Which Our Proclamation hath not yet wrought that good effect which Wee expected, the said Smith being still hidden and harboured by those, who, being infected and blinded with Popish superstition, prefer their respects to him, before their duty to us, and the fear of Our high displeasure, and the consequence thereof; Wee therefore, by the advice of Our privy counsel, haue thought fit by this Our second Proclamation to renew Our former command in that behalf.  
And to the end that none of Our Subiects may hereafter excuse themselves by a pretended ignorance of the danger they shall fall into, if they shall harbour or conceal him; Wee do hereby publish and declare, That the said Smith is not onely a Popish Priest, and with a high presumption taketh vpon him to exercise ecclesiastical jurisdiction, pretended to bee derived from the Sea of Rome, within this Our realm, and endeavoureth to seduce Our Subiects from the true Religion established in the Church of England,( which, by Gods assistance Wee shall ever constantly maintain) but doth also seditiously and traitorously hold correspondence with Our enemies, tending to the destruction of Our State.  
And therefore Wee do now again renew Our former command for his apprehension, and do hereby further signify, That whosoever shall Lodge, Harbour, or relieve the said Smith, or any other Priest, Iesuite, or other, having taken Orders by authority pretended to bee derived from the Sea of Rome, shall incur the danger of Our laws made against the Harbourers, Lodgers, and Relieuers of Priests, to the full extent thereof, which by the Statutes of this Our realm is felony.  
And Wee do further hereby declare,( which Wee shall really perform) That whosoever shall discover the said Smith, and cause him to bee apprehended, as aforesaid, shall haue a reward of one hundred pounds in money, to bee presently paid unto him by us, and shall also haue the benefit of all such Penalties and Forfeitures, which shall or may accrue unto us, and bee forfeited by that person, in whose house the said Smith shall bee found to haue been harboured or concealed.  
And Wee further charge and command hereby,( as by Our former Proclamation Wee did) all and singular Our Iudges, Iustices of Peace, Maiors, sheriffs, Constables, and all other Our Officers, Ministers and loving Subiects, That if they shall find any person offending herein, that then they, and every of them, proceed with all diligence and readiness, not onely against the said Smith, but also against all such as shall harbour, conceal, or connive at his concealment, or shall not use their best endeavours for his discovery and apprehension, according to the uttermost extent of Our laws.  
given at Our Court at Whitehall, the four and twentieth day of March, in the fourth year of Our reign, of Great britain, France and Ireland.  
God save the King.
