 ❧ A Proclamation to restrain access to the Court, of all such as are not bound to ordinary attendance, or that shall not be otherwise by her majesty.  
THe queens majesty being duly informed how greatly and in many places the infection of the sickness is at this time dispersed, by reason whereof her Highnesse in her princely care and wisdom, weighing the danger thereof, and how necessary it is to haue restraint made of haunt and repair to her majesties Court, doth vpon this good consideration, and that her Court may( with Gods favour) be the better preserved from infection, charge and command, 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, shall make their repair to her Court, or within two miles of the same, vpon pain to be committed to prison for their contempt. And where by her majesties commandment there are certain orders made, who, & 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 mo shall be admitted to follow 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, shall be sharply punished. And considering that trinity term begun at Westminster the fifteenth day of this month, in some part is adjourned, as by her Highnesse Proclamation is notified, Her majesty also commandeth that all private suitors shal forbear to come to the Court where her majesty shall reside, until the ninth day of October next. And if there 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 shall 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 serve within the Court, given knowledge of his name, place and country, from whence he cometh, to be signified to the Lord chamberlain, or Vice-chamberlaine, 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 shall be so licensed. And if the parties shall 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 shall haue answer, they shall 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, nor any other city, Borough, town, Village, or places infected, without special licence of the counsellor or other officer under whom he serveth, in writing to be shewed to any officer that shall seek to impeach him, vpon pain to bee imprisoned by attachment of the knight Marshall or of his officers, if the party shall not show in writing sufficient warrant both for his going and returning. Her majesty also straightly chargeth and commandeth the Knight Marshall of her household, that he shall cause due search to be made of all Vagabonds commonly called Rogues that shall haunt about the Court, or in any places within the Verge, and them to apprehended and commit, to bee ordered and punished according to the laws provided for such offenders.
