THe Commonwealth of England having used all means of tendernesse and affection towards the People of this Nation , by receiving them ( after a chargeable and bloody War ) into Union with England , and investing them with all the Liberties and Priviledges thereof ( purchased at the Expence of so much Blood and Treasure ) and by daily protecting them with their Army and Navy , at a great charge ( of which this Nation under-goeth no more than their equall proportion with England ) against their Enemies both abroad and at home , whereby all of them might enjoy the fruits and benefits of Peace ; Yet diverse lewd persons , broken in their fortunes , and dissolute in their Lives , are run into Rebellion , who being assisted and connived at by their Parents , Brethren , Tuitors , Masters , and People among whom they live , who secretly conceal them in their houses in the day time , and in the night suffer them to rob and plunder the Countrey , whereby the Peaceable People of this Nation are many of them ruined , and the rest disturbed , so that they cannot live in Peace . And to the end that no Peaceable means might be left unattempted , for the prevention thereof , I , by vertue of the Authority to me given by His Highnesse and His Council , do Declare , That all such Persons that are now in Rebellion , ( except such as are excepted in the Acts of Grace ) who shall within twenty dayes after the Publication hereof , come in , and submit him or themselves , to the Governor of the next English Garrison , and give good security for his or their future Peaceable living , shall be , and is hereby in his and their persons , freely pardoned , for any Offence , Spoil or Plunders committed by him or them in this present Rebell on , ( the killing of any person in cold blood onely excepted . ) And I do Declare , That if any Parents , Brethren , or Tuitors , who have assisted or connived at any their sons , Brothers , or Pupils , now in Rebellion , as aforesaid , shall within twenty dayes after Publication hereof , cause their said Sons , Brothers , or Pupils , to render themselves , and give security , as aforesaid , That then the said Parents , Brethren and Tuitors , who have so offended , are hereby freely pardoned ; But if otherwise , then the said Parents , Brethren , and Tuitors , who have so offended , shall be imprisoned during the time the said Persons do remain in Rebellion . And in regard diverse Persons who are now in ●ebellion , and who have lived remote from their friends , but could not probably break out into Rebellion , without the knowledge or consent of some of the Inhabitants of that Parish or Presbytery where he or they last lived , before their breaking forth ; I do therefore hereby Declare ; That if the said Parish or Presbytery where he or they last lived , procure the said person or persons so broken forth , to render him or themselves , within twenty dayes after Publication hereof , and give security , as aforesaid , That then the said Parish or Presbytery so offending , is hereby pardoned ; But if otherwise , I do hereby impose upon the said Parish and Presbytery , Two shillings six pence a-day for each Horse-man , and Ten pence a-day for each Foot-man , so broken into Rebellion , over and above their Ordinary Sess , out of the said Parish or Presbytery , which the Governor of the next English Garrison is hereby authorized to levie and receive monthly , during the time the said persons shall so continue in Rebellion . And I do likewise hereby impower all the good People of this Nation , to apprehend all such person and persons as are , or hereafter shall break out into Rebellion , or attempt so to do , and safely to deliver him or them to the Governor of the next English Garrison ; and in case of resistance , to take such Weapons as they can get , and to fight the said person or persons ; and if they shall kill any of the said persons so resisting , they shall not be questioned for the same , but ( on the contrary ) shall receive as a reward of their good service , all such Moneys , Goods , Horses , and Cloaths , as the said Rebellious Persons are then possessed of , besides full satisfaction for their pains and travell therein . And in regard this present Rebellion hath been principally contrived , fomented , and is now obstinatly maintained by Major Generall Middleton , the Earl of Athol , the Earl of Seaforth , Viscount Kenmure , and Major Generall Dayell ; I do hereby therefore Declare , That what person or persons soever of this Nation , ( except such as are before excepted ) shall kill any of the said principall Contrivers , or shall deliver any of them prisoner , to any Governor of any English Garrison , the said person or persons so killing , or bringing prisoner , as aforesaid , shall not only be pardoned for any thing he or they have acted in this late Rebellion , but also shall receive as a Reward of his good service , the sum of Two hundred pounds sterling for every person so kill'd or brought prisoner , as aforesaid . And lastly , for the encouragement of all Peaceable and well-affected People , both English and Scots , I do also hereby Declare , That what damage shall be done to their Persons , Goods or Geer , for their good affection to the Publick , the same shall be again repaired out of the Estates of such as have done the damage , or out of the Estates of the Friends and harbourers of such wrong-doers , or out of the Parish , Presbytery , or Shire where the wrong is done , in case they do not apprehend the said Offendors , or give the English Forces such timely notice thereof , that the said Offendors may be apprehended by them . And I do hereby require all Provosts , Bailiffs , and Chief Officers of Head-Burghs , in their severall Burghs , to cause these presents to be duly Published and Posted up , according to the usuall form , and to certifie their doings therein to me , in writing , under his or their hands . Given under my Hand at Dalkeith , this 4. day of May , 1654. GEORGE MONCK .
