¶ A Proclamation for proroguing the Parliament.  
WHereas at the rising of the late Session of our Parliament, we prorogued the same until the sixteenth day of November now next ensuing, For as much as the Infection of the plague is now in some parts of our City of London, So that it is to be feared that if the Term and Parliament should meet together, and thereby draw a double concourse of people from all parts of the Realm thither, it might give occasion both to increase the said Sickness thereabouts (where our most abode is) and to disperse it into other parts of the Realm, We have therefore thought it fit to prorogue it further into the Winter, that is to say, to the tenth day of February next, at which day our purpose is, God willing, to hold the same; And do hereby give notice to all whom it concerneth, that they may frame their affairs accordingly, and attend at the said tenth day of February to that service.  
Given at our Honour of Hampton Court the last day of September, in the fifth year of our Reign of Great Britain, France and Ireland. God save the King.
