which are or shall be brought up in any Seminary or Colledge of Jesuits,
or Seminary beyond the Sea, shall not (within six months after Proclamation
in that behalf to be made in London, &c.) return into this Realm,
and within two days after such return (before the Bishop of the Diocess,
or two Justices of Peace of the County where he shall arrive (submit himself
to the Kings Laws, and take the Oath of Supremacy, (set forth 1 El.
1.) then every such person which shall otherways return, or come into
this
realm or any other his Majesties Dominions, without such submission,
shall be adjudged a Traytor. |

For (as one saith) it may justly be feared, not
only of all Jesuits and
Seminary Priests, but also of all such other (Jesuited) persons whatseoever
that shall come into his Majesties Dominions or return into this Realm,
contrary to this Statute, That it is not Faith, but Faction:
nor Truth, but
Treason; not Religion, but Rebellion, which is the cause of their coming. |
