❧ A Proclamation to restrain access to the Court, of all such as are not bound to ordinary attendance, or that shall not be otherwise licensed by her majesty.  
THe queens majesty vpon good consideration that her Court may( with Gods favour) bee the better preserved from the insection of sickness in this time, commandeth that no maner persons, but such as haue cause to remain or come to her Court for their ordinary attendance vpon her majesties person, or to do service in her Court, shal make their repair to her Court, or within two miles of the same, vpon pain to bee committed to prison for their contempt. And where by her majesties commandement there are certain orders made, who, and how many shall be commanded to attend for the service of her majesty, either for her Chamber, or for her household, or for attendance vpon her counsellors, or other her majesties ordinary seruants in Court, and that no more shall bee allowed to solow the Court, or to enter into the same: Her majesty straightly chargeth both her counsellors and her principal Officers of her Chamber, and of her household, that they see the same orders duly observed, and that such as shall break the same orders, may be sharply punished. And considering the term of S. Michael which should haue begun at Westminster the ninth of this month, is adjourned, as by her proclamation is notified, her majesty also commandeth, That all private suitors shall forbear to come to the Court, where her Maieslie shall reside, until the twentieth of november next. And if there shall be any extraordinary cause for any person to come to the Court with matter to be certified to her majesty, or to any of her privy counsel, who shall require to be heard presently without further delay, the same party shal not enter within the gates of her majesties Court, until he haue either by her majesties Porters of her gates, or by some other person allowed to scrue within the Court, given knowledge of his name & country from whence he cometh, to be signified to the Lord chamberlain or Vicechamberlaine, or to some other person of her majesties privy counsel, And thereupon, as the case shall require, to be licensed by any of them to come within the gates of her Court, and not to tarry any longer then they shalbe so licensed. And if the parties shal haue onely letters to deliver to any within the Court, Then, not to come within the Court gates, but to sand the same letters to the persons to whom they are directed: from whom when they shal haue answer, they shal not longer continue near to the Court, vpon pain of imprisonment. Finally, her majesty commandeth that no maner of person allowed to attend in her Court, shal repair to London, or to the suburbs or places within two miles of the city, without special licence of the counsellor or other Officer under whom he serveth, in writing, to be shewed to any officer that shal seek to impeach him, vpon pain to be imprisoned by attachment of the knight Marshal, or of his officers, if the party shall not show in writing sufficient warrant both for his going & returning. Her majesty also straightly chargeth and commandeth the knight Marshal of her household, that he shall cause due search to be made of all vagabonds, commonly called Rogues, that shal haunt about the Court, or in any places within the Verge, and them to apprehended and commit either to the Marshalsea, or to deliver them to the nert Constables to be sent to the common gaols next to the place where they shalbe apprehended, there to be ordered and punished according to the laws provided for such offenders.
