¶ By the queen.  
WHereas the infection of the plague and pestilence doth at this present remain and continue within the Cities of London and Westminster, to the great grief of the queens majesty our sovereign Lady, and peril of many of her good Subiects of the same,( the which almighty God for his mercy stay) and that by access of her people thither about their lawful and necessary suits and affairs in this next term of Saint Michael,( the plague then enduring) might be rather occasion to increase the same, then diminish it, which should be great sorrow to her Highnesse, and danger to her whole realm. Minding therefore the preservation of her loving Subiects, from the peril and danger of the said infection, hath thought it expedient by the aduise of her counsel, for sundry good considerations, to adjourn the whole term of Saint Michael next coming, from and in the first day thereof, unto the first day of Hyllarie term then next ensuing. And therefore her majesty doth signify unto all and singular her loving Subiects, that they and every of them which hath cause or commandement to appear in any of her Highnesse Courts at Westminster, in or at any day or time in the said term of Saint michael, may tarry at their dwellings, or where their business otherwise shall lie, without resorting to any of the said Courts for that cause, before Octauis sancti Hillarii, next coming, and that without danger of forfeiture, penalty or contempt to incur towards her Highnes in that behalf. And nevertheless her majesties pleasure is that two of her Iustices, that is to say, of either Bench one, shall the first day of Michaelmas term, called Octauis M●chaelis, according to the ancient order of her laws, keep the Essoines of the said 〈…〉 M 〈…〉, at which utas of Saint Michael, writtes of adjournment shalbe directed to the said Iustices, giuing them authority to adjourn the said whole term of Saint michael, and the same adjournment shalbe made in the first day of the said utas, commonly called the day of the Essoines. And her majesties further pleasure is, that all matters, causes and suits, depending in any of her other Courts between party and party, as in her Highnes Courts of chancery, star Chamber, and Exchequer, Courts of wards and liveries, and duchy of Lancaster, shall haue continuance, and the parties shal haue day from the date of these presents, unto the said first day of Hyllarie term, next coming.  
provided always, and her majesties pleasure and commandement is, that all collectors, receivers, Sheriffes, and other accountants, and all other persons that ought or should account or pay any sum or sums of money in any of her majesties Court of Exchequer, Courts of wards and liveries, or in her duchy of Lancaster, or in any of them, or to enter into any account in any of the same Courts: shall repair unto her majesties house of Sion in the county of Middlesex, where her Highnes hath appointed such officers and ministers, as for that purpose her majesty hath thought expedient, and there to pay and do in every behalf, as though no such Proclamation of adjournment had been had or made: Any thing mentioned in this present Proclamation, or in any writ of adjournment to the contrary, notwithstanding. Willing and commanding every of her said Subiects, to whom it doth appertain, to observe and keep their assemblies and appearances in her Highnes said Courts at Westminster in Octauis sancti Hyllary, next coming, then and there to be holden and kept, there to do their offices and dueties in every behalf, as they will answer for the contrary, at their perils.  
given at her Highnesse castle of Windsor, the xxi. of September, the fifth year of her majesties reign. ¶ God save the queen.
