<P>WHEREAS &s;everal of the people of this Kingdom have contrary to their Duty and Allegiance to His Maje&s;ty entred into &s;everal trea&s;onable A&s;&s;ociations, formed them&s;elves into Regiments, Troops and Companies, &s;eized upon &s;everal parcels of His Maje&s;ties Arms and Hor&s;es, murdred, plundred and pillaged many of his Maje&s;ties good Subjects, po&s;&s;e&s;&s;ed them&s;elves of &s;trong Holds and Garri&s;ons, and committed many other acts of Ho&s;tility, and have put many other &s;lights and affronts upon the Government, at a time when We have em|ployed all Our care and indu&s;try to pre&s;erve the publick Peace of the Realm, and to protect all his Maje&s;ties Subjects in their per&s;ons, liberties and properties. And finding they were much incouraged thereunto by the quantities of Arms, and number of Hor&s;es they had in their hands, and by the Arms and Hor&s;es carried or &s;ent to them out of the peaceable parts of this Realm by &s;everal per&s;ons di&s;|affected to the Government: And being enformed that the Prince of <HI>Orange</HI> doth re&s;olve to land an Army here, with an intention to reduce this Kingdom under his power, and upon his landing to &s;eize upon the Arms and Hor&s;es remaining in private mens po&s;&s;e&s;&s;ion to &s;upply his occa&s;ions. We conceiving it fit to prevent the&s;e mi&s;chiefs, have given orders for &s;eizing all the Arms and &s;erviceable hor&s;es in particular mens hands within the mo&s;t parts of this Kingdom, excepting &s;uch as belonged to any of His Maje&s;ties Privy Councel, or to any of his Maje&s;ties Army; which Orders We hope are by this time executed. And to the end that the &s;everal Inhabitants within this Realm may remain free from any apprehen|ion of being further &s;earched or mole&s;ted upon the account of Hor&s;es or Arms, and that they may be put in a way of &s;atisfaction for the hor&s;es taken away from them, which &s;hall not be re&s;tored, as hereafter is directed. And that his Ma|<GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="left margin cropped or obscured" RESP="MURP" EXTENT="1+ letters">&s;ty may have a perfect account of the Arms and hor&s;es &s;eized upon for his u&s;e, <GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="left margin cropped or obscured" RESP="MURP" EXTENT="1+ letters">ave thought fit, and do hereby &s;trictly charge and command all Officers and Souldiers of his Maje&s;ties Army within this Realm, to bring in all the Arms and hor&s;es by them re&s;pectively &s;eized upon, and to deliver the &s;ame to the re|&s;pective Collonels under whom they re&s;pectively &s;erve, upon pain of being Dis|banded,
<PB REF="2">banded, and of being for ever after made incapable of &s;erving his Maje&s;ty in any Civil or Military Employment. And We do further &s;trictly charge and com|mand all Collonels of the Army, that they do make diligent &s;earch and enquiry of all the Arms and hor&s;es &s;eized upon by any of the Officers and Souldiers under their re&s;pective Commands, and to compel them to render an account thereof, and to procure the &s;ame to be delivered into their re&s;pective hands.</P>
<P>And We do further require all &s;uch Collonels to Re&s;tore to the right Ow|ners &s;uch of the &s;aid Hor&s;es as are not fit to be u&s;ed in Troopes of Hor&s;e in the Kings Army, and that the &s;aid re&s;pective Colonels do forthwith &s;end Us a parti|cular account under their hands of all the Serviceable Hor&s;es and Arms, that they and their under Officers or Soldiers have got into their hands; And We do al&s;o require the &s;everal per&s;ons within this Kingdom from whom any Hor&s;es or Arms were taken by virtue of our &s;aid Orders or under pretence thereof, to give in two Li&s;ts of &s;uch Arms and Hor&s;es, wherein they are to in&s;ert as near as they can the names of the per&s;ons who Sei&s;ed upon &s;uch Hor&s;es and Arms, and to de|liver one of the &s;aid Li&s;ts to the Chief Officer of the County wherein they dwell, and the other to the High Sheriff of the County where they re&s;ide who are here|by required to tran&s;mit the &s;ame to Us, that a ju&s;t &s;atisfaction may be made to every per&s;on from whom &s;uch Hor&s;es were taken which &s;hall not be re&s;tored to the owner: And We do further charge and command all Collonels who have Seized any Hor&s;es or Arms within the City or County of <HI>Corke,</HI> to deliver the &s;ame to Lieutenant General <HI>Mac-Carty</HI> who is to re&s;tore to the Owners &s;uch of the &s;aid Hor&s;es as are not Serviceable to be made u&s;e of in Troops of Hor&s;e, who is hereby required to take an exact account of &s;uch Arms and Hor&s;es and to tran&s;mit a Li&s;t of them to Us, And We do al&s;o require all Officers and Soldiers and &s;uch o|thers as have &s;eized any Arms or Hor&s;es within the City of <HI>Dublin</HI> or the Suburbs thereof, or within the Liberties of St. <HI>Thomas Court</HI> or St. <HI>Sepulcre,</HI> to deliver the &s;ame upon the penalties afore&s;aid to the Chief Officer in Command under Us within the <HI>City</HI> of <HI>Dublin,</HI> And VVe do &s;trictly charge and command all Officers and Soldiers of his Maje&s;ties Army within this Realm, and all other per&s;ons what&s;oever that they or either of them do not for the future pre&s;ume to &s;eize up|on any Fire Arms, Swords or Bagganets, or Hor&s;es belonging to any per&s;on or per|&s;ons what&s;oever, who are not or &s;hall not appear to be in actual Rebellion again&s;t his Maje&s;ty under the penalty of being not only ca&s;hiered but to be looked upon as Robbers and Thieves, hereby forbiding any further Search or Entry to be made into the Hou&s;es, Out-hou&s;es or Stables of any per&s;on what&s;oever for any &s;uch Arms or Hor&s;es.
