❧ By the queens commandment.  
FOrasmuch as it is found by good proof, that many persons which haue served of late on the Seas, in the journey towards spain and Portingall, in coming from plymouth, and other ports of the realm, haue fallen sick by the way, and diuers died as infected with the plague: And that it is likely that many will haue purpose to come from the said navy, to the city of London, and so consequently to the Court, whereby danger of infection may come to her majesties household, and so approach to her sacred person. Therefore it is commanded by publication hereof, both at the Court Gate, and in all the towns within the Uerge, that no person that hath served within the said fleet, shall come to the Court, nor within the Uerge, except such as shall be specially sent from those which were the Generals of the navy, with letters to the Court: which persons shall not enter within the Court Gates, until the cause of their coming from the Generals, with letters of importance be notefied to some of her majesties privy counsel, and thereupon the queens Porters warned to suffer them to enter into the Court.  
And if any such person shall contrary to this commandement, from this day being the xxii. of this month of July, attempt to come either to the Court, or within the Uerge, and shall not immediately vpon knowledge hereof depart with convenient speed, the same shall be apprehended by the Knight Marshall and his Deputies, or by any Iustice or Constable dwelling within the Uerge, and shall bee committed to the Marshalseas without any bail, until he shall be dismissed by some two of the privy counsel attending on her majesties person.  
And yet it is not meant, but if any shall haue necessary cause to come to the Court, to exhibit any suite or information concerning his service in the said navy, the same person shall cause the same his suite or information to be sent to the Court in writing, or by message to be brought by a person that hath not been in the said navy, and not known to be infected, to bee delivered either to one of her majesties ordinary Masters of Requests, or to the Knight Marshall, or to some one of the privy counsel, by which means the suite may be duly understood, and so a reasonable answer to bee made thereto.  
At weigh 22. Julii. Anno 31. Reginae Eliz. b. 1589. God save the queen.
