<P>_WHereas many and great Inconveniencies do ari&s;e from the Irregular granting of Protections, &s;ome being granted by &s;uch Per&s;ons who are no way Authorized thereunto, and others being ob|tained by Surprize, for Per&s;ons upon feigned Submi&s;sions, who &s;ince have Forfeited Their Ma|je&s;ties Favour by their many Offences again&s;t Their Maje&s;ties Laws, whereby it comes to pa&s;s that many who are de&s;igned to be Protected, and would live quietly under Their Maje&s;ties Govern|ment, have not had the benefit of them, whil&s;t o|thers that were Spies &amp; Traytors have been &s;hel|tred under the pretence of Protections, and have thereby found Opportuni|ties of committing Robberies, Murthers, and divers other Horrible Crimes. For the prevention of the like Mi&s;chiefs and Inconveniencies for the future, We have thought fit hereby to Declare, That all former Protections, except &s;uch as were granted by the General of Their Maje&s;ties Army for the time being, or by Their Maje&s;ties Principal Secretary of State for this King|dom, or Secretary at War, &s;hall be, and are hereby Super&s;eded, and ut|terly void, from and after the end of the next A&s;sizes, to be held in the &s;everal Counties of this Kingdom, re&s;pectively. And to the end that all tho&s;e who Intend to behave them&s;elves as good Subjects, and live peaceably under Their Maje&s;ties Happy Government, may partake of that Grace and Mer|cy, which Their Maje&s;ties are Graciou&s;ly plea&s;ed to extend to all Their Sub|jects, of what Per&s;ua&s;ion or Religion &s;oever they be, that will return to their Duty, and become ame&s;nable to Law: We have Impowered and Au|thorized
<PB REF="2"> the Iudges of A&s;size in their re&s;pective Circuits, or either of them, to Grant Peotections under their Hands and Seals re&s;pectively, for the Per|&s;on, Wife, Children, Hou&s;e and Per&s;onal E&s;tate of all &s;uch as &s;hall &s;ubmit to Their Maje&s;ties Government, and Surrender their Swords, Guns, or other Arms and Ammunition, and take the following Oath, <HI>viz. I <HI>A. B.</HI> do Sincerely promi&s;e and Swear, that I will be Faithfull and bear true Allegiance to Their Maje&s;ties King <HI>William</HI> and Queen <HI>Mary.</HI> So help me God, <HI>&amp;c.</HI></HI> And We do hereby Declare, that all Protections &s;o to be given as afore&s;aid, &s;hall be kept Inviolable, and that We will Pro&s;ecute with the utmo&s;t Severity all tho&s;e that &s;hall Violate or Infringe the &s;ame. And We do hereby Order, that a Li&s;t of the Protected Per&s;ons in each County be left with the Sheriffs of the re&s;pective Counties, and a Duplicate thereof returned to Vs; And that every Con&s;table have likewi&s;e a Li&s;t of the Protected Per&s;ons in his Pari&s;h, delivered him by the Sheriffs re&s;pectively, that &s;o tho&s;e that are pro|tected, may be di&s;tingui&s;hed from Spies and Rebels, and be the better pre|&s;erved in their Properties; And that no per&s;on &s;hall pay more than Six-pence for the Writing, Signing, Sealing and Regi&s;tring any Protection for him&s;elf, his Wife and Children, living with him as afore&s;aid.</P>
