¶ By the queen  
THe queens majesty perceiveth that notwithstanding her commandment lately published for the ceasing of certain vain and untrue reports touching a decry of moneys, yet the same continue still, appoyntyng the same to be done from one market day to another, whereof arryseth great trouble amongst the people, and increase of the prices of all maner things both foreign and natural, and specially of grain and other victuell: and for that her majesty thinketh that as well some simplo people of doubtfulness and without evil meaning do give occasion to the continuance of the said rumours, as the greedy and cursed sort do to make an unordinate gain of their wears, grain, bestial, and other victuell, thinking nothing enough for their unsatiable & vnmercyful greediness. For remedy thereof both to content the one, and to reform the other, her majesty doth plainly and sincerely declare to all maner her subiectes, that these foresaid rumours and reports be untrue, and that her majesty doth not determine to alter or decry her moneys. And this her majesty would the honest sort of her subiectes to accept for truth, and as to tother whose greediness or curiosity will not allow nor permit credit to be given to this her majesties Proclamation: Her majesty straightly chargeth all maner her ministers to see all such as shal after this Proclamation published and notified, by any means set forth any contrary report or speech, to be attached and imprisoned, and so to remain without bail or mainpryse during the space of three full months: and being therof duly convicted, to be set openly upon the pillory as persons that haue spread seditious rumours, and not to be delivered until he or they shall haue found sufficient assurance of good abearyng. And yf any person shalbe convicted to haue hard any other so offending, and haue not informed therof the next Iustice of peace with convenient speed: the same person also to be committed to prison during one month, as one that hath willingly maintained a seditious person, and to be further punished at the discretion of the Iustice that shall so commit him. Finally her majesty willeth the Iustices of peace in every shire of this realm, and other her ministers in all towns Corporate, to consult together, not onely amongst themselves, but also with other Iustices and officers of other shires thereto adioyyng, for the furniture of markets with victuel and grain, for victuellers and other poor people, as the season of the year requireth. And yf any sort shall wilfully and fraudulently hold up or enhance the accustomend prices of any maner of thing contrary to reason and good cause: her majesty would that the Iustices of peace and all Maiors and other officers aswell within liberties as without, should apply themselves to reform the same, as 〈◇〉 good order in such cases is requisite. And if the enormity of the offeder shall seem so to require, to send up the offeder to her privy counsel, to receive such further punishment as shal be in reason devised for the same and yf the said Iustices and other ministers shall not therein use the authority to them committed for the ap●●rynge of such unordinate extremities, her majesty will not fail but haue regard thereto, and see their de●●ltes in that behalf supplied by severe punishment, as in such weyghtie cases reason and order requireth.  
given at her majesties palace of Westminster the .xiii. of march, the fourth year of her majesties most pro●●as reign.  
God save the queen.
