By the King. A PROCLAMATION, Requiring all Cashiered Officers and Souldiers of the late Army, to depart, and not come within Twenty miles of the Cities of London and VVestminster, until the Twentieth day of May next.

CHARLES R.

WHereas We have been lately informed that many Officers and Souldiers that were heretofore cashiered and turned out of the late Army (and not disbanded) being persons of desperate fortunes and designs, do now remain in and about Our Cities of London and Westminster, and have their daily meetings, and are (of late) grown so high and confident of effecting some wicked designs, that they spare not to give out words threatning mischiefs to Our Royal Person, and to these Our Cities of London and Westminster, at the times of the Solemnities now approaching; We taking the same into serious consideration, have thought fit, with the Advice of Our Privy Councel, to publish and declare, and do hereby publish and declare Our Will and Pleasure to be, That all and every person and persons heretofore Officer or Souldier in the late Army, Cashiered and turned out, and not Disbanded as aforesaid, which are not under Imprisonment, or other legal restraint, do on or before the Nineteenth day of this moneth of April, depart out of the said Cities of London and Westminster, and the Liberties thereof; And We do hereby charge and require them, and every of them, not being under Imprisonment or legal restraint at the time of the publication hereof, to depart accordingly, and not to return again, nor come within Twenty miles of the same Our Cities of London and Westminster, or either of them, from that time until after the Twentieth day of May next ensuing: And herein We shall expect from all persons concerned, a due and punctual submission and conformity at their perils, and upon pain of Our high displeasure: Willing and Commanding all Our Officers and Ministers to apprehend and seize the persons of all such as shall be found Offenders, by not departing at the time before limited, and them to bring before the Lords of Our Privy Councel, to be further proceeded against for their contempts, according to Iustice.

Given at Our Court at White-hall the 13^th day of April, in the Thirteenth year of Our Reign.

GOD SAVE THE KING.
