BY THE Lords-Justices AND COUNCIL, A PROCLAMATION.  


CHARLES PORTER,  
THO: CONINGESBY.    
WHereas by Our Proclamation of the Nineteenth of November last, We did declare, that we would not give Protection to any Person who then had a Son in the Enemies Quarters, unless before the Tenth of December last, such Son should return to Their Majesties Obedience, and live peaceably within that part of this Kingdom under Their Majesties Power; to which Son so returning with his Arms and Cattle, We promised Their Majesties Protection. And whereas upon humble application of many of the Parents of such Children, complaining of the shortness of the said time so allowed them for bringing in their said Sons under Their Majesties Obedience, We by Our Proclamation of the Eighth of December last, did further enlarge the time till the Tenth of this Instant January; And now observing the good Effect of Our Clemency in this Affair, has produced that very many are come back, and live with their Parents peaceably under Their Majesties Government, and many others are daily returning to their Duties, and many of those yet remaining in the Enemies Quarters, watch only for a favourable Opportunity to make their Escape, of which their Intentions some of them have given good Proof, whereby those Families being united among themselves, are the better enabled to join with other Their Majesties good and loving Subjects against the Common Enemy for Restoring the public Peace. We do therefore hereby Publish and Declare that such Parents who have Sons with the said Rebels, if they shall before the Tenth day of February next, make their Personal appearance before some Iustice of the Peace of the County where they live, and take the Oath of Fidelity to Their Majesties, and enter into a recognisance of a sum agreeable to their Qualities and Estates, Conditioned not to keep Correspondence with, nor to give any Aid or Assistance to their said Son or Sons, or any other of the said Rebels, but to appear at such place and time as they shall be Commanded, ten days after Summons left at their Houses or usual place of abode, for which recognisance and a Certificate of the same, no Iustice of Peace is to take above Sixpence: Then the said Parents having Sons with the said Rebels as aforesaid, are notwithstanding to be continued in Their Majesties Protection without any Molestation; But for such Parents as shall not comply with the Mercy and Favour hereby held forth unto them, they are left liable to be proceeded with according to the former Proclamations, notice thereof being first given unto this Board, and receiving their further Directions therein.  
Given at the Council-Chamber in Dublin, the 17th day of January, 1690. 
 God Save the KING and QUEEN.
