And as they must now fee the deception, fo they cannot but be weary of a war equally toilfome, as it is impious and unprofitable; I do hereby declare upon honour, that if any officers or foldiers what foever, will forfake the Prince of Orange's fervice, and come to his Majefty's quarters, they fhall not only be protected from all punishment, but received into his Majefty's fervice, and if they have no mind to continue therein, they thall be transported into France, and be provided for the voyage.
