By the queen.  
THe queens majesty considering that notwithstanding that by great and mature deliberation of the wisest of this realm, a godly a good order of public prayer and administration of the Sacramentes hath ben set forth and allowed by Parliament, and commonly through the whole realm, in al the time of her majesties reign received and used: yet some persons of their natures vnquietly disposed, desirous to change, and therefore redy to finde fault with al well established orders, do not only refrain from coming to the Church, where the divine service and common prayer is orderly used, but also do use of their own devises, other rites and ceremonies then are by the laws of the realm received and used: and besides that, some of them haue rashly set forth, and by stealth imprinted certain books under the title of an admonition to the Parliament, and one other also in defence of the said admonition, the which books do tend to no other end, but to make division and dissension in the opinions of men, and to breed talks and disputes against common order. Her highnesse therefore, both to repress such insolent and inordinate contempts of such as refuse to come to common prayer and divine service, according to the order established by Parliament, to the evil and pernicious example of others, and to keep her subiectes in one uniform, godly, and quiet order within her realm, to avoyde al controversies, schisms, and dissensions that may arise: doth straightly charge & command al her majesties faithful and true subiectes, themselves to keep, and to cause others such as be under them, to keep the order of common prayer, divine services, and administration of the Sacramentes, according as in the said book of divine service they be set forth, and none other contrary or repugnant, vpon pain of her highness indignation, and of other pains in the said act comprised.  
And as concerning the said books, called, The admonition to the Parliament, and al other books made for the defence of the said admonition, or agreeable therewith, the which books do chiefly tend to the deprauyng and finding fault with the said book of common prayer, and administration of the Sacramentes, and of the orders received here in this church and common wealth of england: Her highnesse straightly chargeth and commandeth al and every printer, Stationer, book bynder, merchant, and al other men of what quality or condition he or they be, who hath in their custody any of the said books, to bring in the same to the bishop of the diocese, or to one of her highness privy Counsel, within twenty dayes after that he shal haue notice of this Proclamation, and not to keep any of them without licence or allowance of the said bishop, vpon pain of imprisonment, and her highnesse further displeasure.  
given at our manor of Greenewiche, the .xi. day of june. 1573. the fyfteenth year of our reign. 
 God save the queen.
