¶ By the queen.  
❧ A Proclamation for the ordering of the exchange of Money used by Merchants, according to the laws and Statutes of the realm.  
FOrasmuch as there are so great abuses of late yeeres grown by the corrupt dealing of sundry Merchants and Brokers, as well Strangers as English, vpon bargains of exchanges, and rechanges of Moneys to bee payed, both out and within this realm, as not onely the good, laudable, and profitable use of natural Merchandizing is greatly decayed, the true valves of the moneys of this realm much abased, and her majesties customs and Subsidies, that are the ancient inheritance of this crown diminished and withdrawn, with sundry other inconveniences, to the notable damage of this realm: For the due remedy whereof, there hath been made heretofore sundry good laws and Statutes of this realm, which do still continue in their force.  
The queens majesty intending to haue such great enormities and mischiefs remedied, doth give all maner Merchants, Brokers, and all other persons using to bargain by exchange or rechange, to understand, that her meaning is to haue such laws and Statutes to bee put in execution, as haue been provided, and do remain in force for this purpose: and therefore warneth all maner of persons, to haue hereafter due regard thereto, vpon such penalties, as in the said laws, Statutes, and other Ordinances remaining in their force is provided: And for the lawful satisfaction of all such as shall haue necessary cause to take or deliver any Money by exchange, there shall be certain Orders in writing set up in places convenient, declaring the rates thereof, as the same shall and ought to bee payed to the use of her majesty, or to her ministers and Officers thereto authorised.  
The xx. of September 1576. in the xviij. year of the prosperous reign of the queens majesty. 
 God save the queen.
