¶ 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 and merciful greediness. For remedy thereof both to content the one, and to reform the other, her majesty doth ●am●ly and sincerely declare to all maner her subiectes, that these foresaid rumours and reports be untrue, and a● her majesty doth not determine to alter or decry her moneys. And this her majesty would the honest sort of 〈◇〉 subiectes to accept for truth, and as to tother whose greediness or curiosity will not allow nor permit credit to given to this her majesties Proclamation: Her majesty straightly chargeth all maner her ministers to see al such shall after this Proclamation published and notified, by any means set forth any contrary report or speech, to attached and imprisoned, and so to remain without bail or mainprize during the space of three full months: 〈◇〉 being therof duly convicted, to be set openly vpon the pillory as persons that haue spread seditious rumours, 〈◇〉 not to be delivered until he or they shall haue found sufficient assurance of good abearyng, And yf any per●●n shalbe convicted to haue hard any other so offending, and haue not informed thereof the next Iustice of peace o convenient speed: the same person also to be committed to prison during one month, as one that hath wyl●●ngly maintained a seditious person, and to be further punished at the discretion of the Iustice that shall so ◇ them. Finally her majesty willeth the Iustices of peace in every shire of this realm, and other her Ministers ●●all towns Corporate, to consult together, not only amongst themselves, but also with other Iustices and officers other shires thereto adjoining, for the furniture of markets with victuell and grain, for victuellers and other 〈◇〉 people, as the season of the year requireth. And yf any sort shall wilfully and fraudulentlye hold up or en●unce the accustomend prices of any maner of thing contrary to reason and good cause: her majesty would that the ●●stices of peace and all Maiors and other officers as well within liberties as without, should apply themselves to ●●ourme the same, as to good order in such cases is requisite. And if the enormity of the offeder shall seem so to re●●re● to send up the offeder to her privy counsel, to receive such further punishment as shal be in reason ◇ for the same. And yf the said Iustices and other ministers shall not therein use the authority to them committed 〈◇〉 the appearing of such unordinate extremities, her majesty will not fail but haue regard thereto, and see their faults in that behalf supplied by severe punishment, as in such weighty cases reason and order requireth. given at her majesties palace of Westminster the .xiii. of march, the fourth year of her majesties most prospe●●us 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.
