❧ By the King. A Proclamation for proroguing the Parliament.
WHereas at the rising of the late Session of our Parliament, Wee prorogued the same vntill the third day of October now next ensuing: Wee haue since considered, that the holding of it so soone, is not so conuenient, aswell for that the ordinary course of our Subiects, resorting to the Citie for their vsuall affaires at the Terme, is not for the most part vntill Al-hallowtide, or thereabouts: As also for that the concourse of people, which followeth the assembly comming from all parts of the Realme, in many whereof there may yet remaine some dregs of the late Contagion, may be an occasion to reuiue it in that place, where our most abode is. And therefore Wee haue thought it fit to prorogue it further for one moneths space, which will fall out vpon Tuesday the fifth day of Nouember next, at which day our purpose is (God willing) to hold the same. And doe hereby giue notice to all, whom it concerneth, that they may frame their affaires accordingly, and attend at the saide fifth day of Nouember to that Seruice.
Giuen at our Honour of Ampthill the xxviij. day of Iuly, in the third yeere of our Reigne of Great Britaine, France and Ireland.
God saue the King.
