¶ By the queen.  
WHereas in the Chart of the lottery lately erected, amongst other things devised for the advantage of the adventurers, there was a limitation of three moneths, within the compass whereof, who so adventured money into the said lottery, should be partakers of diverse profits and advantages more then others that should adventure their money after the said three moneths ended.  
Forasmuch as in sundry parts of the realm, the principal persons that were appointed to bee the Treasurers for the money that should bee gathered in the several shires of the realm, had not received their instructions and charge in such due time as was requisite, by reason that vpon the first nommation of them, there were after sundry alterations of some by reason of sickness, of others by reason they were dead about the time of their nomination, and of some others, that after ward were so otherwise occupied in public offices, as the said service could not be by them executed, so as of the said space of three moneths, there passed over a good part, to the detriment of the adventurers. Her majesty being duly advertised of the premises, to the end that in the affair of the said lottery, advanced by her majesty for the good of the common weal, all her loving subiects should be entreated with an indifferency of dealing, and participate alike of the advantages expressed in the said Chart, without any prejudice of time passed away from them without their fault or occasion: is pleased, that the advantage of the said three moneths now expired, shall be enlarged and prorogued to all maner of persons, that haue or shall adventure their money into the said lottery, for three months longer, to haue course and coutinuance for the space of four score and ten dayes accounting xxx. dayes to the month, to begin within every shire their account exclusively, from the xxiiii. of December last past.  
So as whosoever within the said three moneths of prorogation, shall adventure, or at any time before haue adventured their money into the said lottery, shall haue and enjoy all maner, and as ample advantages and commodities, as by virtue and tenor of the said Chart, they should haue enjoyed if they had adventured their money into the said lottery within the space of the three moneths mentioned in the said Chart.  
And where as through the fault of Printing of the Chart, there hath been ministered occasion of certain doubts and faults found in the said Chart, among the which one is in the third Article of the conditions set forth in the ●●●d Chart, in the first line of the same Article, in these words( to the number of thirty Lots and upward) it was and is ment, and is now explained, for the benefit of the adventurers, that those words shalbe amended and red thus to the number of xxx. Lots or upward.) And where also through list fault, in the fourth and next Article of the said Conditions, in the beginning of the said Article be contained these words( whosoever shall gain the best, second and third great prices) The meaning and intent thereof for the like benefit of the adventurers was and is to haue the understanding and reading of the said words thus( whosoever shall gain the best, second or third great prices So as in both those Articles this word( and) is to be changed into this word( or.)  
And where as also some haue moved a scruple and doubt, that forasmuch as no mention is made in the said Chart in case of death of any of the adventurers, before the time of the reading of the said lottery, that the commodity of the prices and other advantages rehearsed in the said Chart, that should happen to the adventurers at the time of the reading of the said lottery, shall remain to the heires, executors or assigns of the said adventurers. For the explaining thereof, it is to be understand, and the meaning thereof was always: That every aduentuter may make such assignation by Testament, dead or otherwise, of the commodity that may fall unto him by the good fortune of the said lottery, as he may or might otherwise do and dispose of any other goods. And that such as shall haue the said assignation, their executours or assigns, bringing with them the Counterbill, being delivered by the Collector to the adventurer or adventurers( the reading of the lottery being finished, or else at the time appointed in the said Chart) shall receive all such prices and advantages as the adventurer himself should haue, if he were living.  
Finally, if any other scruple, suspicion, doubt, fault, or mistyking may happen to be found( as every thing for the satisfaction of every person, cannot be so exactly set forth in writing, but some doubts may chance to enter into the conceits of men, and specially of those that be inclined to suspicions.) her majesty for a full and general satisfaction of all such and all other adventurers in this lottery giveth to understand, that the same resorting to the Creasurers of the Shires, Cities or good towns, shall receive at their hands such resolution and answer, to all and singular their said doubts, scruples and demands, as shal be to their reasonable contentation and satisfaction.  
¶ God save the queen.
