WHereas in pursuance of Our Gracious Declaration of the 30^th of November last, for the Settlement of Our Kingdom of Ireland, and satisfaction of the several Interests of Adventurers[?], Souldiers and other Our Subjects there. We have appointed and Authorized Our Commissioners, and given them In­structions for putting in execution Our said Declaration, who have accord­ingly made some proceedings in that great Work, so nearly concerning the Peace and happy Settlement of that Our Kingdom, and the growth and prosperity of Plantations there, after a long time of Rebellion and Desolati­on: Nevertheless, taking notice of the slow progress that is made in that Af­fair, though much of the time allotted by Our said Declaration for perfecting the Work is elapsed, which We do in no wise impute to Our said Commissioners: And to the end all per­sons concerned may have timely notice of the danger they may incur by not putting in, and prosecuting their Claims, We haue thought fit by this Our publick Proclamation to make known and declare, That all Our Subjects, and other persons whatsoever, any way concerned in Our said Declaration, or that Claim, or may Claim any Lands, Tenements or Hereditaments, Rents, Profits or Advantages, by vertue of Our said Declaration, or the Instructions for execution thereof, if they be within any of Our [Page] Dominions, and have not as yet put in their Claims, shall make or enter, or cause to be entred and put in their respective Claims before Our said Commissioners sitting at Dublin, or elsewhere in Our said Kingdom of Ireland, at or before the F [...]fteenth day of September next ensuing; And that such of the said persons as are out of Our Dominions, that Claim, or may claim as aforesaid, and have not al­ready put in their Claims, shall make or enter, or cause to be entred and put in their Claims in like manner, at or before the Three and twentieth of October next, and after the said respective days and times shall be expired, no Claims shall be received, but the parties neglecting to lay hold of the benefit of this Our Gracious Intimation, shall be left without remedy, and debarr'd for ever the Benefit, Grace, Fa­vour and Advantage of Our said Declaration and Instructions, without Our special Order in that behalf, upon accidents or emergencies, where Iustice shall require the same. And that none may pre­tend ignorance hereof, We have caused this Our Proclamation to be Published in Our Kingdoms of England and Ireland, and do require Our said Commissioners that they take care for the exact and due ob­servation thereof.

Given at Our Court at Whitehall, the Twelfth day of Iuly, in the Thirteenth year of Our Reign, 1661.
