❧ By the queen.  
¶ The queens majesties Proclamation for staying of all unlawful assemblies in and about the city of London, and for Orders to punish the same.  
THe queens majesty being informed of sundry great disorders committed in and about her city of London, by unlawful great assemblies of multitudes of a popular sort of base condition, whereof some are prentices and seruants to Artificers, and to such like as are not able or not disposed to rule their seruants as they ought to do, And some attempting to rescue out of the hands of public Officers such as haue been lawfully arrested, whereby her majesties peace hath been of late notably violated and broken, to the dishonour of her majesties government, and chiefly for lack of due correction in time of such manifest offenders by the Officers of her city and others in the places round and about her city: For reformation whereof, her majesty hath had conference with her counsel, of the most ready means both for punishment of such offences already committed, and for stay of the like. And to that purpose doth most straitly charge all her Officers both in the city, and in places near to the city, in the Counties of Middlesex, Kent, Surrey and Essex, that haue authority to preserve the Peace, and to punish the offenders of the Peace, That they do more diligently, to the best of their powers, see to the suppression of all offenders against the Peace, And especially of all unlawful assemblies, vpon pain to be not onely removed from their Offices, but to be also punished as persons maintaining or rather comforting such offenders. And because these late unlawful assemblies and rowtes are compounded of sundry sorts of base people, some known prentices, such as are of base Manual occupation, and some others wandring idle persons of condition of Rogues and vagabonds, and some colouring their wandring by the name of Souldiers returned from the warres: Therefore her majesty hath for better direction to her Officers of Iustice, and for the inquisition and knowledge of all such kind of persons, so either vnlawflully gathering themselves in companies or wandring about like Vagabonds, without any known maner of honest living, notified her pleasure to her counsel, to prescribe certain Orders to be published in and about the said city, which she will haue straitly observed. And for that purpose meaneth to haue a provost Marshall with sufficient authority to apprehended all such as shall not be readily reformed & corrected by the ordinary Officers of Iustice, and them without delay to execute vpon the gallows, by order of Martiall lawe. And these her majesties commandements, She willeth to be duly observed, vpon pain of her indignation.  
given at her majesties Mannour of greenwich the fourth day of july 1595. in the seven and thirtieth year of her Highnesse reign. 
 God save the queen.
