And the said adiornement shalbe made in the first day of the said utas, commonly called the day of the essoins. And further her majesties pleasure is, that all matters, causes & suits, depending in any of her other courts, between party & party, as in her Highnes courts of Chanceric, star Chamber & Exchequer, courts of wards & Lyueries, duchy of Lancaster & courts of requests shall haue continuance, & the parties shall haue day from the date of these presents unto Mensis Michaelis, as before is said.

And her Highnes further pleasure & commandement is, that all Sheriffes shall return their Writtes & process against all such accountants & debtors at the dayes therein appoynted. And if any person or parsons, who ought to account or pay any somme or sums of money to her majesty in any the courts & places aforesaid, do make default therein, That then her Highnes Writtes and process shalbe awarded, and sent forth against every such person and parsons, 〈◇〉 the same to be duly and orderly served and returned by the Sheriffes and Officers thereunto appoynted, in such like maner & form as the same should haue been, if this present Proclamation had not been made. And if any sheriff or other Officer shall make default or be negligent in serving, executing and retorning of any the writtes & process aforesaid: That then every such sheriff and other Officer shall incur such pains and penalties, as by the said Courts, or any of them shalbe taxed & assessed: Willing and commanding all & every her majesties Sheriffes, Officers, Ministers & subiects, to whom it doth or shall appertain, to observe and keep their assemblies & appearances, with all their Retornes & certificates, in her highnes said courts at Westminster, in Mensis Michaelis next coming, then and there to be holden and kept, and there to do their offices and dueties in every behalf, in like maner and form as they should or ought to haue done, if this present Proclamation had not been had or made.
