Where|fore as of late we gaue commi&s;&s;ion to proceede again&s;t tho&s;e per&s;ons, that were guiltie of tho&s;e foule facts: So now againe, becau&s;e as yet &s;uch redre&s;&s;e hath not followed as both our honour and our good Subiects lo&s;&s;e do require, We haue thought good to renew that our Commi&s;&s;ion to certaine per&s;ons of qualitie and of good vn|der&s;tanding in the affaires of tho&s;e our Borders, And withall, to publi&s;h by open proclamation to all men, but &s;pecially to &s;uch, as are guiltie, or were partakers of the foule incur&s;ions made vp|on our fir&s;t comming to our Crowne of this our Realme of England, or any others before or &s;ince, That whereas &s;ome of them haue of late &s;ubmitted them&s;elues, and &s;ome others &s;eemed to be willing to &s;ubmit them&s;elues to our merry, Becau&s;e they and all others &s;hall know, that as we are a Prince that before all worldly re&s;pects what&s;ocuer affecteth the pre&s;eruation of Iu&s;tice a|mong our people, and the puni&s;hment of &s;uch, as breake the Rules thereof, So that we are not indi&s;po&s;ed to &s;hew mercy where there is cau&s;e to extend it, and where the &s;ame is &s;ought at our hands in &s;uch dutifull maner, as is meete: We doe therefore charge all per&s;ons what&s;oeuer, who know them&s;elues to haue bene Actours, Partners, or of con&s;ent to that incur&s;ion aboue mentioned, or to any other breach of our peace within the Counties and Lymits heretofore cal|led our Borders both of the Engli&s;h &s;ide and of the Scotti&s;h, that they doe before the twentieth day of Iune next comming re&s;ort to &s;uch place, where they &s;hall vnder&s;tand our Commi&s;&s;ioners to be, and there &s;ubmit them&s;elues to &s;uch mercy and fauour, as wee &s;hall thinke good to extend towards them: A&s;&s;uring them in the worde of our Royall and Supreme power, that who&s;oe|uer of them &s;hall not before the &s;ayd twentieth day of Iune haue &s;ubmitted him&s;elfe according to the tenour of this our Proclamation, &s;hall holde him&s;elfe for euer excluded from our mercy without hope at any time to obtaine grace or fauour, but to abide the rigour of &s;uch puni&s;hment, as our power can lay upon him.</P>
