"And likewise that they had presented to Her Majesty the Address of this House of Yesterday, that Her Majesty will be graciously pleased to issue Her Royal Proclamation, commanding all proper Officers and Magistrates to make diligent Search for and to apprehend all Popish Priests, and to put the Laws in Execution against them; and likewise to inquire after and apprehend all such Persons as have served in Arms against Her Majesty, or Their late Majesties King William and Queen Mary, and who are now within this Kingdom contrary to Law, to the End they may be brought to Justice: And that Her Majesty was pleased to return this Answer, That She would give Order pursuant thereunto."
