By the Queen. WHere as the queens most excellent Majesty by her highness Proclamation in November last, did appoint and limit the reading of the Lottery within her City of London this ten of january. And by the same did give strait charge and commandment to all and singular her officers, ministers and subjects having therein to do, to prepare themselves accordingly, as by the said last proclamation may appear. Her majesty perceiveth, that of some mistrust or doubtful interpretation of the proceed in the said Lottery, the first intention (to have the collection and adventures to have amounted to a certain mass & sum of money, (wherewith a great numbered the Adventurers might have been largely benefited, according to a chart thereof published in August. 1567.) is not nor can not be accomplished: Whereupon it is thought meet (without any further, expectation or delay) to proceed to the publishing of the said Lottery for so much as is already Collected, and to cause every Adventurer to be truly, indifferently, and rateably answered, according to the mass Collected, without any indirect dealing towards any person. And to the intent that every person having any interest herein, may understand what in reason to expect for his Adventure. It is to be understand to all Adventurers in the same Lottery, that the very certain sum of Money Collected, and chargeable to the same, is a Twelfth part of the whole mass first by the said chart appointed, and no more, as by due Certificate and good account thereof (by her highness Commissioners and Treasurers, being persons of special credit in that behalf) made, her Majesty is certainly informed. Whereupon all Adventurers shall be duly answered of their Prizes accordingly after the said rate: That is to say, To him that shall win the best and greatest Lot, the sum of Four Hundred and Sixteen Pounds, thirteen shillings and Four pence, which is the just Twelfth part of Five Thousand pounds, before appointed to have been given, if the whole Sum had been Collected. And so consequently every person to be answered of the several Prizes contained in the said chart, after the said Rate. giving also to understand, that for the supplying of the full Numbered first appointed by the Chart, every person having adventured any one Lot of the value of Ten Shillings, shall be admitted to Twelve adventures or hazards, after which adventures or hazards, the said rate of a Twelfth part, shall be duly answered and paid in ready money. And whosoever hath adventured more than one Lot, after the said rate of Ten Shillings, shall be answered and paid in like sort: which several adventures, hazards, or prizes growing of the said Lottery, shall be duly answered and paid (after the Rate of the said Twelfth part) according to the appointment and promise contained in the said first chart. And for this purpose, all persons having interest herein, shall and may begin to give their attendance this present Tenth day of januarie, and so to continue. given at her highness Honour of Hampton Court the ninth day of january. 1568 and in the Eleventh year of her majesties most prosperous Reign. God save the Queen. ΒΆ Imprinted at London by Henry Bynneman, dwelling in Knight Rider street, at the sign of the mermaid. Cum gratia Regiae Maiestatis.
