△PROCLAMATION.

regardless of the Allegiance to their Sovereign, of which

ed his Majesty's Rebellious Subjects from the other Colonies,
in reducing this once happy Country to its present deplorable
State of Misery and Confufion;
AND WHEREAS a Number of well-affeded Persons,
partly through Dread of the Cruelty of their Enemies, and
partly from falfe Representations being made to them of the
State of Publick Affairs, have been induced to embrace a Cause
which must inevitably bring them to Ruin:
IN ORDER THEREFORE to prevent others from falling
into the fame unhappy Errors, and to quiet the ill-grounded
Apprehensions of some well-meaning People; I do issue this
my Proclamation, hereby assuring His Majesty's loyal Subjects
in this Province, that they may rely on speedy and effectual
Support being given to them, by the Exertions of the Forces
under my. Command; and that, in every Event and Situation,
their Interests and Security shall be considered as inseparably
connected with those of His Maiefty's Troops.
AND I DO ALSO HEREBY GIVE NOTICE, That
the severest Punishments fliall be inflicted on all those, who

His Majesty's Government, or fliall serve in any civil Capacity
under a second Usurpation.
GIVEN under my Hand at Charleftown, this Fifteenth Day
of December, in the Tear of our Lord One Thousand
Semen Hundred and Eighty-one, and in the Teuenty-fecond
Tear of His Majesty's Reign.
