¶ By the queen. THe queens majesty understanding that certain vain and untrue rumours being of late raised in and about her city of London, touching a decry of moneys, doth not onely continue, but also increase with a daily expectation therof at cuery market day, to the satisfaction only of a sort of covetous people, which thereby enhance the prices of their wears and victual: Doth straightly charge all maner persons, utterly after the publication hereof, to cease from the said vain false and untrue reports, vpon pain to be imprisoned, and further punished according to the laws therfore provided. And that all officers having authority to see to thassise of victual and order of markets, extend their power forthwith to reduce the prices of all victual to the state wherein the same was or ought to haue ben, yf these vain rumours had not ben so spread abroad. Finally her majesty commandeth all maner of officers to whom the Proclamation for observing of fast in Lent and other dayes, was the last year directed, to see the same both published and duly kept, according to the tenor therof. given at Westminster the .xxx. of january, the fourth year of her majesties reign. God save the queen. ¶ Imprinted at London in Powles Church yard by Richard jug and John Cawood, Printers to the queens majesty. Cum privilegio Regiae Maiestatis.
