<P><HI>_IT is &s;o manife&s;t to the world by all our procee|dings</HI> hitherto towards tho&s;e Subiects of ours, which doe profe&s;&s;e the Romi&s;h Religion, how &s;lowe Wee haue been to extend the &s;eue|ritie of our Lawes (in matter of life) euen again&s;t the Romi&s;h Prie&s;ts them&s;elues, who &s;editiou&s;ly incite and warrant the ignorant Papi&s;ts to for&s;ake their naturall loue and loyaltie; as We a&s;&s;ure our &s;elues that all which Wee &s;hall now require hereby at the hands of our people, will appeare mo&s;t iu&s;t by the Lawes of Nature, and by the &s;traight bonds of our peoples affections to Vs their Soueraigne, and to their Countrey (although there were no &s;uch certaine po&s;itiue Lawes as there are, &s;o &s;traightly to enioyne the &s;ame, and vnder &s;o hea|uie paines.) And therefore &s;eeing it is now made plame and euident by diuers examinations of many of tho&s;e Pri&s;oners that haue been the principall Con&s;piratours in the barbarous prac|ti&s;e to de&s;troy (with Powder) our owne Per&s;on and Po&s;teritie, with the whole State of the Realme in Parliament a&s;&s;embled, that tho&s;e three Ie&s;uites vnder named, <HI>Iohn Gerrard <HI>ali&acirc;s</HI> Brooke, Henry Garnet <HI>ali&acirc;s</HI> Walley, <HI>ali&acirc;s</HI> Darcy, <HI>ali&acirc;s</HI> Farmer, O&s;wald Te&s;mond <HI>ali&acirc;s</HI> Greenway,</HI> haue all three peculiarly been practi&s;ers in the &s;ame; and being throughly per&s;waded that (in this Trea&s;on &s;o foule and odious to euery good Subiects eares and hearts) We &s;hall find no man &s;o blind or im|pious, as for any di&s;tinction what&s;oeuer to forbeare to doe their vttermo&s;t dueties for the di&s;co|uerie and apprehen&s;ion of them that haue &s;o extraordinarily &s;inned again&s;t GOD, and be|trayed Vs:</P>
<P>We haue now thought good (in that con&s;ideration the rather) not only to make knowen to all men, the bloody and cruell crimes wherof the&s;e particular per&s;ons are guiltie, but al&s;o to declare to all our Subiects hereby, That although the conformitie of all our Subiects to our com|mandements herein, &s;hall be no more then that which we do a&s;&s;uredly promi&s;e our &s;elues from &s;uch louing people, of who&s;e fidelitie we haue had &s;o extraordinary experience in like ca&s;es; Ne|uerthele&s;&s;e wee are re&s;olued, that who&s;oeuer &s;halbe found to haue beene the particular occa&s;ion or in&s;trument of their apprehen&s;ions, or any of them, &s;halbe particularly rewarded by vs, as di|uers haue beene already, that haue &s;hewed their zeale and forwardne&s;&s;e for the pro&s;ecution and apprehen&s;ion of &s;ome of the&s;e Con&s;pirators: Adding thereunto this further prote&s;tation, That if it &s;hall appeare by any confe&s;&s;ions hereafter, that any per&s;ons within our Dominions or Countreyes (after this declaration of the&s;e mens guiltines in crimes &s;o farre beyond example)
<PB REF="2">&s;hall pre&s;ume to be a Harbourer, mainteiner, or Concealer of any of the&s;e three per&s;ons, or &s;hall not doe his be&s;t for their di&s;couery and apprehen&s;ion, That we are re&s;olued (without hope of mercy or forgiuene&s;&s;e) to &s;uffer the Lawes of the Realme, to be mo&s;t &s;euerely executed vpon them, as vpon tho&s;e whom we e&s;teeme to be no le&s;&s;e pernitious to our Per&s;on, State and Com|mon wealth, then tho&s;e that haue beene Actours and Concealers of the maine trea&s;on it &s;elfe.</P>
