WHereas by two former Proclamations, the one dated the twentieth of Nouember, and the other the two and twentieth of December last Wee did publish and declare Our Royall pleasure concerning the repaire of the Lords Spirituall and Temporall, and of other persons fo quali­tie from the Cities of London and westminster, and other parts adia­cent, and from other Cities and Townes vnto their Countrey dwellings: wee haue lately caused diligent suruey and enquiry to made in the Ci­ties of London and westininster and the Suburbs of the same; whereby it appeared, That as many persons of qualitie and worth, both men and women, haue duetifully submitted to Our gracious commandement, so diuers haue not onely neglected the same, but retiring for a time vnto some in or neare the said Cities, where they secretly soiourne, or otherwise obscure and couer themselues onely to be out of the way of enquiry, doe endeauour so clude and frustrate Our sincere and Honourable intendments, whereat We aimed in both Our said Proclamations, which is the reuiuing and setling of Hospita­litie and good Gouernment in all the parts of this Our Kingdome. And therefore, as Wee may not let passe the obedience of the one, without Our Gracious approbation and acceptance; so Wee cannot but giue notice to the other, that We are sensible of their contempt, and that those subtilties and euasions, can neither hide them from the eye of Our prouidence, nor excuse them from the hand of Our Justice, which without Our greater clemency, expecting their speedy reformation and con­formitie, would soone seize and lay hold on them for their obstinacie and disobedience; And therefore We being fully resolued for the generall good of Our people to perfect that worke which Wee haue (vpon such iust grounds and important reasons) begunned, Haue thought fit once more to admonish all such as haue not yet conformed to Our said Proclamations, That they immediatly yeeld obedi­ence thereto by repairing with their families to their proper dwellings & habitations in the Country, as by Our former Proclamations they were enioyned, and that such as are at this present resident in their Countreys doe there continue their habitations and families; And that all persons doe for­beare by soiourning in or about any Cities or Townes, or by any other euasions whatsoeuer, to endea­uour the frustrating of the said Proclamations. And to the intent, that none should vpon hope of alteration of Our purpose either take or keepe houses in or about the Cities of London or Westmin­ster with intent to withdraw themselues, their wiues or families thither from their habitations in the Countrey in the winter next ensuing, We haue thought good to let them know, That Wee are fully determined to hold the same course then, which We haue formerly propounded, and therefore they being forewarned may so dispose of their affaires, as with least intonuenience to themselues they may performe Our Royall commandement, giuen by this and other Our former Proclamati­ons.

Giuen at Our Court at New-Market the sixe twentieth-day of March, in the one and twentieth yeere of Our Raigne of Great Brittaine, France and Ireland.

God saue the King.
