❧ By the queen.  
whereas her majesty is given to understand, that although shee hath paid and disbursed all maner of chardges and expenses appertaining to her majesties household, and the arrearages thereunto belonging, until the feast of Saint Michael, which was in the year of our Lord 1575 and in the seventeenth year of her majesties reign: And also that although her majesty hath paid and disbursed all her household chardges since that time, saving a very small remnant of arrearages: that yet notwithstanding some of her good subiects do in diuers places complain they are vnsatisfyed and vnpayed of such money, as her majesty hath disbursed and paid for their satisfaction: Therefore her majesties pleasure is, that her said subiects should be warned and admonished there by this Proclamation, to this end and purpose, that if any of them do remain vnpayde of their due, that hath been thus wise disbursed by her majesty to their use, that all and every such person so vnpayed of their due should make their repair by themselves or their sufficient Deputes, unto the chief Officers of her majesties household with then sufficient declaration in writing, or their sufficient testimony, what money is owing and vnpayed unto any such person in this behalf. And that if any of them shall after this their said declaration yet remain unsatisfied, such persons shall present their just complaint thereof unto her majesties privy counsel, to the end that every of them may be satisfied, as to equity and Iustice shall appertain.  
And if any person shall be either by sickness, or by poverty, not well able to make repair in person, not by deputy, as afore is said, and that in some towns and parishes the several debts may be so small, as the parties will be loth to make a journey for such small parcels: In such cases the said persons shall do well, to make declaration to some next Iustice of Peace, of the quantity of the debt, and of the proof thereof, in what sort, and for what matter the same grew due. And thereupon her majesty willeth and requireth the said Iustice, to not●f● the same by his letter either to the head Officers of the household, or to some others of her majesties priuey counsel, to thintent that not onely the party may bee satisfied, but also it may be known where the default of payment was.  
given at her majesties castle of Wyndesor, the last day of September, 1577. in the nineteenth year of her Highnes reign. 
 God save the queen.
