¶ By the queen,  
WHere of late order hath ben given by the queens majesties commandment, to sundry ports of this realm, to understand what nombre of ships are belonging to the same, & to command certain of them not to be vnreadye for the service of the realm, upon any occasion that might seem necessary: It is understand that some French vessels being prepared to the war, and coming into certain of the said ports, haue ben upon some suspicion stayed.  
Wherefore her majesty hath thought necessary to notify unto all maner her Subiectes, that although indeed such commandment was given by her majesties admiral, that certain ships in dyvers ports should remain in readiness for such service as should be necessary for the surety and defence of the realm, which thing also her majesty would should so continue, until it may appear to what end the great preparacions of france do tend. yet nevertheless her majesty meaning and desiring most earnestly to haue the peace and concord nourished betwixt her realms & france: willeth and straightly chargeth all her Subiectes to permit al maner the French kings subiectes to haue their entrecourse with their ships and vessels in her ports, in like case as in all times of peace hath ben accustomend.  
given at Westminster under her majesties signet the .vi. of january, the second year of her reign.
