¶ A Proclamation inhibiting all persons to repair to His Majesty for cure of the Disease called, The King's Evil, until Michaelmas next.  
WHereas His Majesty by his Proclamation in july last, did prescribe the times of Michaelmas and Easter, for presenting to Him for cure such persons as were affected with the Disease called, The King's Evil: which His Majesty out of His gracious and pious disposition to relieve their distresses, was wi●ling now at Easter accordingly to have done; Yet foreseeing the danger that may arise as well to His sacred Person, as otherwise, by the concourse of diseased people from all parts of the Realm to His Majesty's Court, especially at this present time, when as the infection of the Plague is discovered and broken out in some places of the Kingdom; His Majesty therefore timely to prevent the dangers thereof, as well to his own Person, as to his people, doth hereby publish His Royal Pleasure to be, And also straightly chargeth and commandeth, That no person or persons whatsoever, do presume to repair to His Majesty's Court to be healed of that Disease at Easter now next coming; But do wholly forbear the same, until the Feast to Saint Michael the Archangel next following, (unless His Majesty shall hereafter declare any shorter time for that purpose) upon pain of His Majesty's high Indignation, and to be punished with all severity as Offenders in so high a nature. And His Majesty doth straight charge and command all justices of Prace, Mayor, Bailiffs, Constables, Headboroughs, and other His Officers and Ministers whatsoever whom it may concern, That they make stay of as many as they find travelling or preparing themselves to His Majesty for Cure, and that they suffer no persons whatsoever to make their resort to His Majesty's Court now at Easter next for that end, As they tender His Majesty's pleasure, and will answer the contrary at their uttermost perils.  
Given at Our Palace of Westminster, the seventh day of April, in the twelfth year of Our Reign.
