WHereas divers of the Scotish Nation , and some English Fugitives , being lately come out of Scotland into England with their Leader CHARLS STUART , Son to the late Tyrant , do here Leby War against the Commonwealth , and commit many Outrages , Spoils and Murthers upon the people of this Nation ; And the said Charls Stuart hath caused himself by the said Men of Scotland and English Fugitives to be Proclaimed King of England , and by Declarations proscribing some who have performed great and excellent Service to the Publique , and offering his Indulgences to others , would draw Adherents to him in his wicked and trayterous Practises , particularly by Letters in his Name directed to the City of London , and spread abroad by some of his Clandestine Agents , he labors to court them to his Party , by boasting his own Condition , and by endeavoring to annihilate the Honor and Esteem of the Parliament and their Forces , who through Gods Mercy have been so often Instrumental to Chastise him and his Confederates , and will , through Gods Blessing we trust , still prove a burthensom Stone unto them ; Hoping it seems in the mean time , That that famous City ( whose Faithfulness and eminent Services in behalf of Religion , Laws and Liberties are ever to be acknowledged ) and that others of this Land and Nation , into whom by his Cunning and Flatteries he would thus insinuate , can forget the Horrid and Bloody War raised by the late Tyranthis Father , and the Devastations attending it , and by his Delusions and Impostures be perswaded to betray Themselves and their Liberties again into Vassalage and Bondage , which through the Goodness of God , and at so great an Expence of Blood and Treasure have been vindicated from the Pride and Tyranny of that Man and his Fathers House : Which laborious Fraud and Falshood of him the said Charls Stuart hath hitherto notwithstanding , through the Favor of God to his People , proved of small or no effect but to aggravate his own Guilt , he being a Traytor of a former Date , and to render Himself and his Complices more and more obnoxious to the Penalties of the Laws of England , Declaring and Adjudging High Treason , wherein they are so deeply and desperately involved : And whereas by a late Act and Declaration of Parliament , All persons have been Warned and Commanded not to give any Countenance or Assistance to the said Charls Stuart or his Party , but to Oppose them , and to Assist the Forces of this Commonwealth for the apprehending of them , to which a most chearful and general Obedience hath been given by the People according to their Duty , wherein the Parliament doth humbly acknowledge the Goodness of God to this Nation , and shall not fail to manifest their good Acceptance of the Peoples Affections herein ; All which the Parliament of England having taken into their serious Consideration , although they cannot conceive that any true Englishman can be debauched from the Duty and Fidelity which they owe to their Native Countrey , upon such Deluding and false Pretences as the Enemy hath used , and that therefore it is not necessary to make any further Declaration herein ; Yet for the more Notoriety of the Fact to all persons concerned to take knowledge of the same , and to avoid all pretence of Ignorance in any touching the Condition of this Man and his Followers , Have thought fit to Publish and Declare , And do hereby Publish and Declare the said Charls Stuart to be a Rebel , Traytor and Publique Enemy to the Commonwealth of England , and all his Abettors , Agents and Complices to be Rebels , Traytors and publique Enemies to the Commonwealth of England ; And do hereby Command all Officers Civil and Military , in all Market-Towns and convenient places , to cause this Declaration to be proclaimed and published . Monday , 25th August , 1651. ORdered by the Parliament , That this Proclamation be forthwith Printed and published . Hen : Scobell , Cleric . Parliamenti .
