By the queen,  
right trusty and well-beloved, we greet you well. We understand by sundry means, that where of late we ordered a proclamation to be published in certain Counties vpon the Sea costs, for the licensyng of such as reside in any ports of the Sea, or others, for their defence and safeguard to do their uttermost against any the french kings subiectes, with further allowance of prizes of french vessels taken vpon the Seas, as further in the same proclamation appeareth: sundry light and lewd persons about our city of London, and suburbs of the same, haue by colour and false pretence of the said proclamation, being neither proclaimed there at all, nor yet so intended, as by the manifeste words of the same proclamation appeareth, haue entred and seized the persons and goods, not only of dyvers French men and women, living quietly and orderly without offence of any our subiectes: but also of such as are denizens, and so accounted in a maner our subiectes, and besides that( which is not to be suffered unpunished) of sundry others, being in dede english born, pretending them maliciously to be french, and others being born under the obedience of other Princes and states out of the french kings obeisance: By which disorder we perceive that much disquietness hath risen. And therfore we will and command you, that you shall notify in places most notorious within our city of London, and suburbs of the same, that all persons, of what sort soever the same be, that haue ben thus molested in body or goods, by pretence aforesaid, within our said city or suburbs, shalbe restored to full liberty, and that the disturbers be arrested and compelled to answer for their violences and misdemeanours, as breakers of our peace, and trespassers, according to the order of our laws, either at the suite of the parties damaged, or at the suite of you being our Maior and lieutenant of our said city, so as some sharp and evident punishment following, may give cause to others hereafter not to use such outrages, against order and without authority. And this our letter, or the substance therof, you shall publish and notify.  
given under our Signet at our manor of Richmond, the second day of August, the fifth year of our reign.  
GOD save the queen.
