<P>_WHEREAS by Our Proclamation of the <HI>Fourth</HI> day of <HI>February</HI> la&s;t, We did pur&s;uant to the Articles of <HI>Lymerick,</HI> grant unto &s;everal Per|&s;ons thereby qualified Lycences for the wear|ing of Arms &s;uch as are in the &s;aid Lycences particularly mentioned. And whereas it hath been ob&s;erved that many others though they have by former Proclamations been required to bring in their Arms have neverthele&s;s neg|lected &s;o to do in contempt of our Authority, and as We have good rea&s;on to believe with de&s;ign to di&s;turb the Quiet and Peace of the Kingdom, e&s;pecially at this time when the <HI>French</HI> King does openly de|clare his Intentions of a De&s;cent upon &s;ome part of Their Maje&s;ties Dominions. To the end therefore that as much as in Vs lies We may &s;ecure the Publick Peace and prevent the De&s;igns of ill di&s;po&s;ed Per&s;ons. We therefore do hereby &s;trictly enjoyn and require all Per&s;ons what&s;o|ever, as well tho&s;e who have Lycences, as afore&s;aid, as others, that im|mediately after the Publication of this Our Order they deliver to the High-Sheriff of the County, Governour or Deputy-Governour, or to the next Commis&s;ioner of Array unto their re&s;pective Habitations or places of abode, all their Arms as well Fire-Arms, as Swords, Pikes, half-Pikes Halbards, Partizans, Skeenes, Baggonets, and all other Arms Offen|&s;ive and Defen&s;ive what&s;oever, which if they &s;hall fail to do, and upon any after &s;earch or Information it &s;hall be found that they have any &s;uch Arms in their Cu&s;tody or Po&s;&s;e&s;&s;ion, they &s;hall be deemed Per&s;ons di&s;af|fected to the Government and as &s;uch be proceeded again&s;t with the ut|mo&s;t &s;everity of Law. And we do hereby require all &s;uch Sheriffs or Iu&s;tices of the Peace, as afore&s;aid, to whom any Arms &s;hall be delivered as afore&s;aid, that they give Receipts to the Parties of what they &s;hall re|ceive from them re&s;pectively, giving al&s;o an Account thereof immediately af|ter
<PB REF="2" MS="y"> to the Clerk of the Council and Carefully laying them up untill they &s;hall receive the further Order of this Board for the di&s;po&s;al of them. And We do hereby declare that the rea&s;on why the &s;aid Sheriffs and Iu&s;tices of Peace are hereby Directed to give Receipts for &s;uch Arms as they &s;hall receive is for this Intent only, That the &s;ame may be re&s;tored to &s;uch as had obtained Lycences when We &s;hall find it may be done without dan|ger of the Publick Safety: And the &s;aid Iu&s;tices of Peace, Sheriffs, Mayors, and other Officers are hereby Impowred and required to &s;end for any Per&s;on or Per&s;ons in who&s;e hands it &s;hall appear to them any Arms lately were, And if they &s;hall not deliver the &s;ame or give a rea&s;onable Account why they cannot do it, then they are to be proce&eacute;d|ed again&s;t according to Law, and as is Directed by Our Proclamation bearing date the 24th. day of <HI>February</HI> la&s;t.</P>
