By the queen.  
FOrasmuch as her majesty doth understand that the Statutes made heretofore for the maintenance and increase of the Game of wants and Partridges, and for the redress of such abuses, as haue been and are usually committed in the waste and spoil of the said Game by disorderly means, haue taken and do take so little effect, as that not onely the observation of the said Statutes is utterly neglected, but greater boldness, and a further degree of offence in that kind is commonly used and practised, by taking & killing the said Game by such unlawful means near unto her own houses of residence; insomuch as her majesty is deprived both of the use, and of the pleasure of the said Game: Her majesty therefore supposing that her strait commandement published by her Proclamation shall take better effect, doth straightly charge and command all and every person and persons of what degree or estate soever, not to take, or cause to be taken with any nets, Setting dogges or any other Instruments or engines, any wants or Partridges, or any Fowle of the river within six miles of any of these her usual houses, viz. Windesor Castle, Whitehall, Hampton Court, Richmond, greenwich, Datelands, or Nonesuch, vpon pain that every person so offending, shall for the same not onely make such forfeiture, and haue any such other penalty, as by the said Statutes is prescribed, but suffer such further punishment, as by her Highnesse privy council either in the Court of Starrechamber, or otherwise, for such wilful disobedience and contempt towards her majesty shall bee inflicted. And for the better avoiding and prevention of such abuse and disorder, her Highnesse further pleasure and commandment is, that no person or persons whatsoever, inhabiting or abiding within six miles of any of her Houses afore mentioned, shall keep, or suffer to bee kept within his house any Setting Dogees, nets, or other Engies for the taking of pheasant or Partridge, or of any Fowle of the river, vpon pain of forfeiture of all such nets, Engines, Instruments, or Setting Dogges, and of such further punishment, as by her majesties privy council( as aforesaid) shall for their contempt be imposed.  
And lastly whereas her majesty both for her exercise and for her delight is pleased many times to see her hawks fly, and would more often use the same, if by the aforesaid disorders, and by the spoil and disturbance of the Game by the common Hawking near unto her Houses, her pleasure therein were not prevented: Her majesty doth likewise straightly charge and command that no person or persons, of what estate or degree soever they bee, shall hawk ax pheasant or Partidge, or at any Fowle of the river, within three miles of any her aforenamed Houses, under the degree and quality of a Noble man, or of one of her privy council, using the same in their own person, for their recreation, vpon pain of forfaiting their hawks, imprisonment of themselves, and as they will avoid the further danger of her majesties heavy displeasure. And her majesty doth hereby straightly charge all Iustices of Peace, inhabiting within or near to the precincts above limited to any her Highnesse Houses, that they do carefully look to the executing of this her pleasure now published, and cause the offenders, whom they shall chance to find, to be apprehended and committed, and of their faults advertise some of her Highnesse privy council, or the Officers of her Greenecloth, for that if it shall appear that any of the said Iustices haue used negligence, or connivence herein, her majesty will extend the pain of her displeasure unto them, and cause them to feel the smart thereof.  
given at her majesties Mannour of Datelands the fifteenth day of September in the four and fortieth year of her Highnesse reign. 
 God save the queen.
