<P>FOra&s;much as all the Clemency and Indulgence which hath been exten|ded to the Papi&s;ts of this Kingdom by Their Maje&s;ties, hath hither|to mi&s;&s;ed of it's de&s;ired Effect, and hath been &s;o far from Inducing them to a Grateful Sen&s;e of Their Maje&s;ties Goodne&s;s and Mercy, that on the contrary, it hath rather encrea&s;ed their Malice and Stubborn|ne&s;s, &s;o that many of them, even whil&s;t they live under Their Maje&s;ties Gracious Protection, and Claim the Benefit thereof, do neverthele&s;s tran&s;|gre&s;s all their Laws, and de&s;troy Their good Prote&s;tant Subjects, and &s;uch of them as are not Actually Rapparees, Robbers, or Tories, do Excite and Encourage others to be &s;o, and Connive at, and Countenance their Proceed|ings, by giving them Intelligence, Support, and Entertainment; &s;o that Their Maje&s;ties good Subjects &s;uffer more from tho&s;e <HI>Iri&s;h</HI> Papi&s;ts that pre|tend to &s;ubmit, than from tho&s;e that are in open Rebellion again&s;t them. And fora&s;much as this grievous Mi&s;chief is not to be remedied otherwi&s;e than by making the Re&s;idue of the Papi&s;ts in each County repair the Lo&s;&s;es which the Prote&s;tants &s;hall &s;uffer from any of their Companions, We do there|fore hereby Declare, that if any of Their Maje&s;ties Prote&s;tant Subjects &s;hall be Robbed or Plundered, or &s;hall have his Hou&s;e or Haggard burnt by any Popi&s;h Rapparee, Tory, or Robber, upon Complaint and Proof thereof made to Vs, We will Cau&s;e &s;uch Per&s;on or Per&s;ons to be Reprized upon the Po|pi&s;h Inhabitants of the re&s;pective Counties where &s;uch Robbery or Burn|ing &s;hall be committed, Excepting only &s;uch Papi&s;ts as &s;hall appear to have Acted the part of good Subjects, and to have done their Endeavour to pre|vent the afore&s;aid Crimes, or to Apprehend the Malefactors.</P>

<P>And whereas it is manife&s;t how great Influence the Popi&s;h Prie&s;ts have over their Votaries, &s;o that they might hinder them from the&s;e Villanous Cour&s;es if they would, and &s;ince they do not, may well be thought to En|courage them thereunto. We do therefore Declare, that if any number of Robbers or Rapparees, exceeding Ten, &s;hall keep in a Body together, and Robb or Plunder any Prote&s;tant, or burn any Hou&s;e or Haggard of Corn: We will not from thenceforth &s;uffer any Popi&s;h Prie&s;t to Live or Re&s;ide in that County re&s;pectively where &s;uch Villany &s;hall be committed; but will Pro&s;ecute him and them with the utmo&s;t Severity of the Law, which has not yet been done in any part of this Kingdom. And We al&s;o Declare, that We will not give Protection to any Per&s;on who hath a Son in the Enemies Quarters, unle&s;s before the Tenth Day of <HI>December</HI> next, &s;uch Son &s;hall return unto His Maje&s;ties Obedience, and Live peaceably within that part of this Kingdom under Their Maje&s;ties Power, where|upon &s;uch Son &s;o returning with his Arms and Cattle, &s;hall have Their Maje&s;ties Protection; and in the mean time the Parent &s;hall not be mole&s;ted 'till he be fir&s;t &s;afely Conveyed beyond our Frontiers, in order to bring back his &s;aid Son to Their Maje&s;ties Obedience as afore&s;aid.</P>
