¶ By the King.  
WHereas in November, last, by Our Proclamation We commanded from Court all idle persons, ' and other unnessarie dependents, as much tending to the dishonour of Our house; Which evil We finding not yet redressed, have now taken knowledge, and allowed of a meet number of Artificers, and others to follow our house in the several places, and trades whereto they are assigned, upon recognisance first entered to Us with condition for their good behaviour, and performing such other Articles as therein shall be contained; whose rooms and places becoming void, Our pleasure is, shall be supplied by others thereunto named by Our Knight Marshal for the time being. We do therefore straightly charge and command, That all Tent Keepers, Artificers, and other idle persons, and hangers on Our house (other than such whose particular names are entered in the Roll by Us signed, as allowed to follow Our house) shall within four and twenty hours after this Our Proclamation departed from Our Court, and not return thither again, upon pain of Imprisonment, and other corporal punishments, and penalties to be inflicted for their contempt in this behalf. And We require, and straightly charge Our knight Marshal, and all Officers, and Ministers under him, that he and they do take a daily, and constant survey of offenders of this kind, to the end that they may be condignly punished; and that they take care that Our pleasure herein be from time to time strictly observed, by restraining all others (save such as are licensed and allowed as aforesaid) to follow, or have dependence upon Our house. And for such Tents as are allowed to follow Us, We will that they be appointed and placed by the direction of Our Knight Marshal or his Deputy, in such manner as they may be no offence, or annoyance to Our person or household.  
And whereas great inconveniences daily happen by Our own servants, & followers, by their entertaining of persons to follow them in times of Our journeys & Progress, which afterward being turned off, do nevertheless loiter, and linger about Our Court, to the great dishonour of the same: For redress whereof, We like wise straightly prohibit, and forbidden all and every our servants, and followers, and others of what degree soever, That they henceforth presume not to offend in that kind, as they tender Our displeasure.  
And also, that no chamber-keeper, Groom of the Stable, or other Officer shall give entertainment to any person whatsoever to follow, or depend upon him, or them, but only such as shall be allowed and entered in the Roll for Our house.  
And the better to suppress the disorders, and abuses happening in Our Court by reason of laundry women, having daily access into Our house; We do therefore straightly charge and Command, that no laundress shall have recourse to any office, or lodging within Our house; But that the Offices, and Chambers unto which they wash, do send their servants out unto them with and for their Linen: And that all such Laundresses as are allowed to follow Our house, aswell the Laundress to Our body, as others, shall follow themselves in person, and not supply their places by their servants, and maids, who living without government, are the cause and occasion of so great disorder amongst them that follow Vs. And to that end, We will and command our Porters at our gate, to see this Our pleasure to be duly observed and kept.  
And lastly, We straightly require, charge and command all Majors, justices of Peace, sheriffs, Bailiffs, Constables, Headboroughes, and all other Our Officers and Ministers whatsoever, to be aiding and assisting, to the execution of this Our Royal Will and commandment, as they will give account to us thereof, and tender Our High displeasure for neglect of this service so acceptable unto us.  
Given at Our Manor of Greenwich, the last day of june, in the seventeenth year of our Reign of England, France, and Ireland, and of Scotland the two and fiftieth.
