¶ By the King.  
¶ A Proclamation inhibiting the resort of His Majesty's people to the Court, for Cure of the King's Evil, until the middle of Lent, and to restrain the access of others from infected places.  
WHereas His Majesty, for that sundry parts of the Realm were Infected, did of late by his Proclamation inhibit resort to be made unto His person for curing of the Malady called, The King's Evil, until certain times in his former Proclamation specified. And having of late received advertisement from sundry parts of this Realm, that it hath not as yet pleased Almighty God to withdraw his hand, but that the Infection is still much dispersed. Now by the advice of His Privy Council, doth again straight inhibit all His loving Subjects whatsoever, That none of them resort to his Majesty, or places to His Court adjoining for Cure of the said Infirmity, called, The King's Evil, until the middle of Lent next, at which time he purposeth (if God shall be so pleased) to admit them to His presence, and for them to do as hath been used: Straight charging all His Officers and Ministers, whom it shall concern, That they make stay of as many as they shall find travailing, or preparing themselves to his Majesty for Cure of that infirmity, and to turn them and others whom they shall find to come from places Infected to the places of their Residence, not suffering them to approach to His Majesty's presence, or His Court, or the Court or Household of His dearest Consort the Queen, as they will avoid His Majesty's displeasure, and the Pains by His Laws ordained against contemmers of His Command.  
Given at the Court at Whitehall, the eighth day of November, in the seventh year of His Majesty's Reign. 
 God save the King.
