<P>_WHEREAS &s;everal Per&s;ons in the Province of <HI>&V;l&s;ter,</HI> and the Town of <HI>Sligo,</HI> in this His Maje&s;ties Kingdom, have entred into &s;everal A&s;&s;ociations, containing no le&s;s offence than High Trea&s;on, and thereupon formed them&s;elves into &s;everal Parties, dividing and mar&s;halling them&s;elves into &s;eve|ral Regiments, Troops and Companies, marching well armed up and down the Countrey, to the great Terror of the King's liege People, in manife&s;t breach of the Law and of the Peace of this Realm. And having re&s;olved within Our Selves to prevent the effu&s;ion of Blood, as long as it was po&s;&s;ible, by u&s;ing all peaceable meanes to reduce the &s;aid Malefactors to their obedience, have of late i&s;&s;ued a Proclamation, &s;etting forth the &s;aid Di&s;orders, requiring all the &s;aid Parties to di|&s;per&s;e, and repair to their &s;everal Habitations and Callings, a&s;&s;uring every of them of His Maje&s;ties Pardon and Protection. And whereas We find the &s;aid Offenders, in&s;tead of complying with Our &s;aid Proclamation, &s;till to per&s;i&s;t in their wickedne&s;s, by continuing in actual Rebellion, breaking of Pri&s;ons, and di&s;charging of Pri&s;oners, &s;ecured by due cour&s;e of Law, for Robberies, Felonies, and other hainous Crimes, by &s;eizing upon His Maje&s;ties Arms and Ammunition, impri&s;oning &s;everal of His Maje&s;ties Army, di&s;arming and di&s;mounting them, killing and murdering &s;everal of His Maje&s;ties Subjects, pillaging and plundering the Countrey, and daily committing &s;everal other acts of Ho&s;tility; and &s;inding no other way left to &s;uppre&s;s the &s;aid Rebellion, We the Lord Deputy have cau&s;ed a Party of His Maje&s;ties Army, under the Command of Lieutenant General <HI>Richard Hamilton,</HI> to march into the Province of <HI>&V;l&s;ter,</HI> to reduce the Rebels there by the force of Arms, the con&s;equence whereof cannot be but very fatal to that Coun|trey and the Inhabitants thereof, and will inevitably occa&s;ion the total ruine and de&s;truction of that part of His Maje&s;ties Kingdom; the con&s;ideration whereof hath given Us great di&s;quiet and trouble of Mind, that a Countrey well planted and inhabited, &s;hould now, by the in&s;olency and traiterous wickedne&s;s of its own Inhabitants, he brought to mine and de&s;olation, which we are &s;till willing to prevent, if any &s;park of grace be yet remaining in the hearts of tho&s;e Con&s;pirators, hereby declaring notwith&s;tanding the many Affronts by them put upon His Maje&s;ties Goverment notwith&s;tanding the &s;everal acts of ho|&s;tility by them hitherto committed, that if they will now &s;ubmit and become dutiful Subjects, His Maje&s;ties mercy &s;hall be extended to them, excepting the per&s;ons hereafter excepted. And in order thereunto, We the Lord Deputy and Council do hereby &s;trictly Charge and Command all &s;uch Per&s;ons in Arms in <HI>&V;l&s;ter,</HI> or the Town of <HI>Sligoe,</HI> forthwith to lay down Arms, and that the principal per&s;ons among&s;t them now in the North do forthwith repair to the &s;aid Lieutenant General <HI>Richard Hamilton,</HI> and deliver up to him their Arms and &s;erviceable Hor&s;es, and to give him Ho&s;tages as an a&s;&s;urance of their future Loyalty and Obedience to His Maje&s;ty. And that all their Adherents do deliver up their Arms and &s;erviceable Hor&s;es to &s;uch per&s;on and per&s;ons as he the &s;aid Lieutenant General <HI>Hamilton</HI> &s;hall appoint to receive them. And We do al&s;o further Charge and Command all the principal per&s;ons of other Commotions and In&s;urrections in <HI>Sligoe</HI> to repair forth|with either to Us the Lord Deputy, or to Colonel <HI>Mac Daniell</HI> at the <HI>Boyle,</HI> and to deliver up their Arms and &s;erviceable Hor&s;es, and to give Ho&s;tages as &s;ecurity for their future peaceable deportment, and their adherents to lay down their Arms, to be delivered up together with their &s;erviceable Hor&s;es to the &s;aid Colonel <HI>Mac Daniell;</HI> We the Lord Deputy hereby gi|ving &s;afe conduct to &s;uch of them as will &s;ubmit according to this our Proclamation. And we do hereby further declare, that &s;uch of the &s;aid per&s;ons as &s;hall give obedience to the&s;e Our Commands, (except the per&s;ons hereafter excepted) &s;hall have His Maje&s;ties protection and pardon for all pa&s;t offences relating to the &s;aid Commotions and In&s;urrections; but in ca&s;e they &s;hall be &s;o unhappy as to per&s;i&s;t in their wicked De&s;igns and trea&s;onable Practices, We the Lord Deputy do hereby Com|mand all His Maje&s;ties Forces to fall upon them where ever they meet them, and to treat them as Rebels and Traytors to His Maje&s;ty. Yet to the end the innocent may not &s;uffer for the crime of the nocent, and that the committal of inhumane acts may be prevented, We do hereby &s;trictly Charge and Command His Maje&s;ties Army now upon their march to the North and all other His Maje&s;ties Forces, that they or either of them do not pre&s;ume to u&s;e any violence to Women, Chil|dren, aged or decrepit Men, Labourers, Plowmen, or Tillers of the Ground, or to any other who in the&s;e Commotions de|meaned them&s;elves inoffen&s;ively, without joyning with the Rebels, or aiding or a&s;&s;i&s;ting them in their traiterous actings and behaviours. But in regard <HI>Hugh</HI> Earl of <HI>Mount Alexander, John</HI> Lord Vi&s;count <HI>Ma&s;&s;ereene, Robert</HI> Lord Baron of <HI>King&s;ton, Clotworthy Skevington</HI> <ABBR>E&s;q</ABBR> Son to the Lord Vi&s;count <HI>Ma&s;&s;ereene,</HI> Sir <HI>Robert Colvill,</HI> Sir <HI>Arthur Rawdon,</HI> Sir <HI>John Magill, John Hawkins, Robert Sander&s;on,</HI> and <HI>Francis Hamilton</HI> Son to Sir <HI>Charles Hamilton,</HI> have been the principal Actors in the &s;aid Rebellion, and the per&s;ons who advi&s;ed and fomented the &s;ame, and inveigled others to be involved therein, We think fit to except them out of this Our Proclamation, as per&s;ons not de&s;erving His Maje&s;ties mercy or favour.</P>
