Proclamation on Papist Registra tion and Clergy Penalties in Ireland
A London style proclamation issued from Dublin orders strict execution of laws against Popish clergy and mustering penalties for non registration. It appoints authorities to seize and suppress unregistered priests and curates, obliges oath of abjuration, and bars Popish regulars and high clergy from public roles to preserve peace and conformity. The document cites orders for search, arrest, and punishment of offenders and declares the Crown will pursue compliance across the kingdom.
