¶ A Proclamation for proroguing the Parliament.  
WHereas by Our late Proclamation We declared Our pleasure for proroguing the Parliament, from the second day of November last passed, unto the sixteenth day of February next coming, Now, for weighty and important reasons, We, with the advice of Our prime Council, have resolved to prorogue the said Parliament yet further, unto the fifteenth day of March now next ensuing. And to the end, that aswell the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, as the Knights, Citizens, and Burgesses of Parliament, may stay, and forbear their attendance accordingly; We have thought fit, by this Proclamation, to publish and declare Our resolution and intention therein: So that none of them (other than such, as for their own occasion shall happen to be in London or Westminster, who may attend the making of the said Prorogation) shall be bound to appear the said sixteenth day of February, at the said City of Westminster, but are to hold their appearance and meeting there, upon the said fifteenth day of March next coming, to treat, consent, and conclude upon such matters, as in the said Parliament shall then and there, of the common Council of the Realm, (by God's favour) happen to be ordained.  
Given at Our Court at Newmarket, the nineteenth day of january, in the two and twentieth year of Our Reign of Great Britain, France and Ireland. 
 God save the King.
