A Proclamation

Whereas It appears that there is such a Number of good
Arms in the Country as that there may be some spared to
supply the several Counties with such as may be absolutely
necessary in Case of any sudden Emergency I have therefore
thought fit with the Advice of his Lordships Council of State
that so many Arms shall be delivered together with so much
Ammunition as the several Colonels shall think necessary for
that purpose And I do also with the Advice af^d order that
during this time of War the several Troops and Companies
shall be duely exercised at least once in Every Month unless
the Weather should be so severe as to make it impracticable
in the Months following Viz. December January February or
March And to the Intent that p sons concerned may have due
Notice thereof I do hereby strictly charge and require the
several Sheriffs of this Province to make this my Procla-
