¶ By the queen.  
WHereas the queens majesty our most gracious sovereign lady, by reason of the plague and pestilence, as well in the city of London, as in the city of Westminster, did lately by her Highnes Proclamation adjourn part of the term of saint Michael, that is to say, from the utas thereof, until Mensis Michaelis, then to haue begun at the said city of Westminster, as at the place accustomend, her majesty had very great hope that the said sickness, by the favour of Almighty God, and by the coldness of the year, and other occasions, by that time would haue ceased. nevertheless her Highnes being credibly informed, that the said sickness increaseth within the said Cities of London and Westminster, is therefore minded for the better preservation of her good Subjects of all degrees, that should repair to London and Westminster by reason of the term, to adjourn the said term from Mensis Michaelis aforesaid, until the return of the same term, commonly called Crastino Martini, next coming, then to begin at Westminster as hath been accustomend. Which her majesty signifieth to all and singular her loving subiects of this her realm, to the intent, that they, and every of them, which hath cause or commandement to appear in any of her highnesse courts at Westminster, on, or at any day or time, from, and after the said Mensis Michaelis, may tarry at their dwellings, or where their business otherwise shall lie, without resorting to any of the said Courts for that cause, before the said the said return of Crastino Martini next coming, and that without danger of forfeiture, penalty, or contempt, to incur towards her majesty in that behalf. And nevertheless ber Highnes pleasure is, that two of her Iustices, that is to say, of either bench one, shal the said Mensis Michaelis, according to the ancient order, adjourn her said two Courts at Westminster, at which day writtes of adjournment shalbe directed to the said Iustices, to adjourn the same, in and from the said Mensis Michaelis, until the said return of Crastino Martini, as before is said: And her majesties pleasure is, that all matters causes & suits, depending in any of her other Courts between party and party, as in her Highnes Courts of chancery, star chamber, and Exchequer, Courts of wards and liveries, and duchy of Lancaster, shall haue continuance, & the parties shall haue day from the date of these presents until the said return of Crastino Martini as before is said,  
provided always, and her majesties pleasure and commandement is, that all Collectors, receivers, Sheriffes, and other accountants, and all other persons that ought or should account or pay any sum or sums of money in any of her majesties court of Exchequer, courts of wards and liveries, or of her duchy of Lancaster, or any of them, or to enter into any account in any of the said courts, shall at their dayes appointed, repair unto the accustomend places at Westminster, where her Highnesse hath appointed such officers ministers, as for that purpose her majesty hath thought expedient, and there to pay, and do in every behalf, as though no such Proclamation of adjournment had been had or made, any thing mentioned in this Proclamation, or in any wirt of adjournment to the contrary, notwithstanding. And her Highnes further pleasure and commandement is, that all Sheriffes shall return their Writtes and process against all such accountants and debters at the bares therein appointed. And if any person or persons who ought to account or pay any sum or sums of money to her majesty in any the said Courts & places aforesaid, do make default therein, That then her Highnes Writtes & process shalbe awarded, and sent forth against every such person and persons, and the same to be duly and orderly served and returned by, the Sheriffes and Officers thereunto appointed, in such like manner and 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 returning any the said writtes and 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 and assessed: Willing and commanding all and every her majesties Sheriffes, officers, ministers and subiectes, to whom it doth or shall appertain, to observe and keep their assemblies and appearances, with all their returns and certificates in her Highnesse said Courts at Westminster, in the said return of Crastino Martini, next coming, then and there with the favour of God, to be holden & kept, & there to do their offices and dueties in every behalf, in like maner & form as they should or ought to haue done, I this present Proclamation had not been had or made, as they will answer to the contrary at their perils.  
given at her majesties Manor of Richemond the xx. day of October, in the twentieth year of our reign.
