THe queens most excellent majesty being given to understand, that diuers, as well soldiers as Mariners employed in the late Portingall voyage, whereunto many soldiers voluntarily offered themselves, to her highnesse great contentment, and their own commendation for their willingness to put themselves into that service, but yet haue since their return in most undutiful sort assembled themselves in disordered troops, contrary to the laws and Statutes of this realm, & haue also presumed to repair to her majesties Court, contrary to a former Proclamation made in respect of the infection of the parts and ships from whence they came: Doth therefore straightlie charge and command as well soldiers as Mariners, vpon pain of imprisonment and such further punishment as shal be thought meet to be inflicted vpon such disordered & undutiful subiects, ●●●ebeare from henceforth to make any such disordered assemblies. And yet to the end the said parties employed in the said voyage, 〈◇〉 receive reasonable contentment after the examining what sums of money are due to so many of them as haue haue been im●●●ed either by virtue of her majesties Commission, or by Letters from the Lords and others of her highnesse privy council, it 〈◇〉 been already ordered: First for the Mariners, that they should repair unto the officers of the Admeraltie, and there deliver 〈◇〉 them their names, the time, and by whom they were imprested, what they haue received, and what is due unto them: for 〈◇〉 it both was and is ment immediately vpon the repair of Sir John Norris & Sir Francis Drake the late Generals, who best 〈◇〉 what hath been payed to them, and what is due to the said Mariners, that there should be some present order taken for their ●●●… able satisfaction. And for the soldiers, the same having been publicly notified unto them by the Lord Maior of London by order from her majesties council, that they should repair into those Counties where they were imprested, and other their milling places, and there to deliver unto the Iustices or any other officers by whom they were imprested, their names under 〈◇〉 they haue served, what sums of money they haue received by the way of impressed, and what is due unto them for the time 〈◇〉 their service, to the end the said Iustices might give notice thereof unto the Lieutenants of the said Counties where the said ●●●●… ours were imprested, whereby a true certificate might be made to her majesty or her council from the said Lieutenants, ●●●h of the numbers that haue been employed, & what was demanded as due unto them, which course of proceeding, by order from 〈◇〉 Lords and other of the privy council, was publicly notified to the said soldiers by the said Lord Maior, for that her majesties princely and most gracious disposition, both was and is, that such, as well Mariners as Souldious that were imprested 〈◇〉 virtue of her highnesse Commission, or by virtue of Letters directed by the Lords and other of her majesties privy council 〈◇〉 the Lieutenants of the Shires, should receive reasonable contentment.  
And therefore her Highnes pleasure is, that as well mariners as soldiers shall seek satisfaction, for somuch as shal be found 〈◇〉 〈◇〉 due unto them, in such sort as is above specified, and in no other maner. And for others that did offer their service, and haue 〈◇〉 as voluntary men in the said voyage, and were not imprested nor commanded to serve in such sort as is above mentioned: ●●r majesty commandeth them vpon pain of imprisonment and such further punishment as shal be thought meet to bee in●●●●ted vpon them, to repair out of hand to the countreyes and places where they were last abiding, and there to employ themelves in dutiful sort, according to their several vocations and callings. And yet nevertheless, concerning such sums of money as a great number of the said soldiers imprested by Commission,( though it be affirmed that diverse haue been ouerpayd) ●●… tend to be due unto them: yet there shall be due examination taken, what they haue received by imprests, victuals, clothing ●●d arms. And for such sums as shall be found due the imprested soldiers, order sahlbe taken to pay them their due ●●●●●… t of the goods seized) in the Countreyes from whence their certificate shalbe sent.  
Wherefore for the due execution of this present Proclamation, Her majesty straightly chargeth and commandeth all Lieutenants, deputy Lieutenants, Maiors, Sheriffes, and other inferior Officers, to give present order for the placing of standing ●●●●… hes, of sufficient and able men in such Thorowfaires and places, as by them shall be thought convenient, for the intercepting ●●d apprehension of such as shall be found to commit any thing in contempt of this present Proclamation.
