❧ By the King.
FOrasmuch as it appeareth now in part, who were the Complices of Percy in his detestable Treason published by our former Proclamations, in their assembling together to moue our people to Rebellion, Although perhaps many of them did neuer vnderstand the secret and depth of his abhominable purpose▪ and that amongst those which do flee for feare of our Power, and for the guiltinesse of their offence, we are informed that the said Percy is: Wee haue thought it good to make knowen to all men, both that wee put great odds betweene his part of the Treason and other mens. And also, that forasmuch as it importeth greatly that hee should bee taken, to the end that by his confessions, the whole plot and the partners thereof might bee discouered, and from himselfe the horrible purpose opened, which it is likely that many Whom hee hath seduced did neuer vnderstand, And also that by the exemplary punishment of him, others be [...] from such Treasons, as tend not onely to Our destruction, but to the confusion art vtter dissolution of the State:
If any person shall apprehend the sayd Percy, and br [...]ng him to Us or any Our Officers aliue; if that person be an offe [...]our and partner with him in his Treason in whatsoeuer degree, We will not onely give him pardon of his Life, Lands, and Goods, but also bestow on him a reward of the value of one Thousand pounds at the least. And if hee be no offendor, yet shall he haue that or a greater reward. And for their assurance Wee do hereby giue Our Princely word.
Giuen at our Palace of Westminster the eighth day of Nouember, in the third yeere of our Reigne of Great Brittaine, France, and Ireland.
God saue the King.
