❧ A Proclamation appointing the times for His Majesties healing of the Disease called The Kings evil.  
WHereas His majesty by sundry Proclamations hath appointed the times of healing of the Disease commonly called The Kings evil, to be Easter and Michaelmas; nevertheless, His Majesty finding the resort of poor people to His Court for Cure at other times of the year, not without trouble and danger to His sacred Person, Is pleased again to declare His royal will and pleasure therein, and doth therefore straitly charge and command, that no person or persons infected with that disease, do hereafter presume to resort to His Majesties Court at any other times, then within fourteen dayes next before Easter, or fourteen dayes next after; And in like manner, within fourteen dayes before Michaelmas, and fourteen dayes next after, and at no other times in the year: And that no persons whatsoever do hereafter presume to repair to His Majesties Court in times of His progress, to be healed of the evil, upon pain of His Majesties high displeasure, and to be further punished as shall be meet. And whereas sundry persons affencted with other diseases, do oft times repair to His Majesties Court, under colour or pretence of Cure of The Kings evil; His majesty doth therefore will and command, That from henceforth no persons whatsoever shall resort at the times herein limited for healing, before they have been viewed by one Physician, and one Surgeon at least, and their opinions under their hands certified of their Disease, together also with Certificate from the Minister and Churchwardens of the Parish( upon their inquiry made) that they have not been touched by His majesty before. And that none may pled Ignorance for their excuse, His Majesties will and commandment is, that this His Proclamation be not onely published in every Market Town throughout the Realm, but be also openly set up in every Parish Church, there always to remain for public view and information in the premises, which His majesty requires the Churchwardens or each Parish to take care accordingly to see done, upon pain of His Majesties displeasure, and such penalty as may ensue thereupon.  
Given at the Court at Greenwich the first day of july, in the fourteenth year of His Majesties Reign.
