❧ By the queen.  
WHereas the queens most Excellent majesty by her highness Proclamation, given at her manor of Hauering the xiii. of july last for diuers considerations in the same expressed, was pleased to shorten the day before limited for the reading of the Lottery erected within her city of London, and by the said Proclamation appoynted the reading therof to begin the third of this present month of november, thinking the said Proclamation to haue ben a sufficient warning and knowledge given to all such her majesties subiects as had trust committed to them, in sundry Shires of the Realm, for collection of the sums of money to be adventured in the said Lottery, for to haue returned the books sent to them for that purpose in time convenient, before the third of this month. nevertheless, the negligence of diuers having charge in the same service, hath ben such, as until this time they haue forborn to make due return of the whole books, so as the said beginning of the reading of the said Lottery, can not without prejudice of many of her Highnesse subiects adventurers therein, presently proceed. Wherefore her majesty meaning to haue the said reading neither to be taken in hand to the prejudice of a great number of her subiects, neither yet to bee hereafter longer prolonged then may seem reasonable: willeth all maner of persons, by this her highnesse Proclamation to understand, that the said reading shall begin the tenth of january next ensuing, and for no respect to be further prolonged. And straightly chargeth and commandeth all and every her loving subiects whatsoever, having charge or trust of any books, or otherwise touching the same committed to them, to return the said several books before the last day of this month of november: so as the other ministers having herein to do, may betwixt the said day and the said tenth of january( which time also is requisite to be had for the preparation of all things thereunto necessary) without all excuse, take order and prepare themselves to the due execution hereof. Whereunto her majesty straightly chargeth and commandeth all her said officers, ministers, and subiects, having to do therein, to haue special regard, as they and every of them will answer to their negligence at their perils.  
given at our Honour of Hampton Court, the second day of november, the tenth year of our reign.  
God save the queen.
