Hamilton,
I send you with this my Proclamation, as I have now made it upon debate with Sir Lewis Stewart, wherein I have altered nothing from the first, but what I wrote you by my last; only I have added some things of favour to those that shall repent, which nevertheless are of so little moment, that although this should not come to your hands time enough, the other might pass very well. As for the publishing of it, I shall doe my best to get it proclaimed both in Edinburgh, and in the rest of the Kingdom: nevertheless you must not leave to doe your best for the publishing of it. So wishing good success as well to your Person as Cause, I rest
Your assured constant Friend,
Charles R.

Hamilton,
I send you herewith my Pleasure in a Proclamation to my Subjects of Scotland, and by this command you to use all sort of Hostility against all those who shall not submit themselves according to the tenour of the same; for which this shall be your Warrant.
Charles R.
York, 7 Apr. 1639.
