Wherunto
his
maiestie
was
moued
vpon
suche
consideracions
as
in
the
sayd
former
proclamacion
was
more
at
large
expressed
.
For
asmuche
as
it
hath
sithens
come
to
his
highnes
knowlege
,
that
by
reason
of
the
great
nombre
of
the
same
Testons
,
which
at
this
present
are
dispersed
abrod
in
so
many
mens
handes
.

cuen
hard
vpon

,
by
diuers
making
hole
paymentes
in

&
specially
for
that
those
that
haue
plenty
of
other
mony
,
take
vnreasonable
allowance
of
the
poorer
sort
which
is
most
to
be
relieued
for
the
exchaunge
of
those
Testons
,
moche
detriment
and
inconuenience
should
ensue
to
the
possessours
of
the
same
,
onles
a
remedy
by
prolonging
of
the
terme
then
appoynted
for
their
calling
in
were
prouided
:
His
Maiestie
therfore
by
the
aduise
aforsaid
,
is
most
graciously
pleased
,
willeth
,
&
commaundeth
that
the
terme
of
the
callyng
in
of
the
sayd
pieces
of
.xij.
d
.
commonly
called

,
shal
be
yet
further
prolonged
and
extended
to
the
first
day
of
May
next
comming
after
the
date
herof
.
And
that
during
al
the
meane
space
,
thesaid
Testons
(
being
of
his
highnes
standerd
)
shal
be
curraunt
through
out
his
highnes
Realmes
and
dominions
after
no
lesse
value
and
sort
,
then
yf
the
sayd
former
proclamacion
for
their
calling
in
had
not
ben
made
.
Prouided
alwayes
that
after
thesayed
fyrst
day
of
May
,
thesayed
Testons
shall
no
lenger
bee
currant
,
but
be
vsed
in
suche
sorte
,
as
that
former
Proclamacion
doth
specify
,
this
present
prolongacion
notwith
standyng
.
And
further
his
Maiestie
exhorteth
all
his
sayd
louyng
subiectes
,
that
like
as
his
highnes
for
their
benefite
was
moued
to
reuoke
thesayed
Testons
,
and
for
their
more
commodity
is
pleased
to
prolong
the
day
of
their
callyng
in
:
so
thei
also
in
the
meane
while
will
haue
the
better
regard
and
hede
that
suche
Testons
as
thei
take
,
be
of
his
Maiesties
standerd
and
coynt
,
seyng
the
nombre
to
be
suche
of
false
and
foreyn
Testons
as
are
now
so
dispersed
abrode
,
to
the
deceipt
&
losse
of
the
takers
:
and
that
during
this
tyme
of
respit
,
thei
endeuour
them selues
from
day
to
day
by
portions
and
smaller
sommes
,
to
bryng
in
suche
Testons
as
thei
shall
h●●e
into
any
his
Maiesties
myntes
,
as
shall
best
serue
for
their
purpose
,
there
to
receiue
the
iust
exchaunge
of
the
same
:
So
as
by
lyngeryng
or
defertyng
of
the
bryngyng
in
of
suche
Testons
vntill
thesayed
fyrst
day
of
May
,
lymitted
by
this
peremptory
admonition
,
their
negligence
be
not
cause
that
when
the
myntes
(
if
the
whole
masse
come
in
at
once
)
are
pestred
,
their
exchaunge
shall
not
be
so
redy
vnto
them
as
otherwise
it
shoulde
.
Moreouer
,
because
his
Maiestie
most
graciously
aboue
other
thynges
tendryng
the
relief
of
the
poter
sort
of
his
louyng
subiectes
,
doth
considre
,
that
their
nede
or
vnhabilitie
to
forbeare
by
a
space
(
be
it
neuer
so
smal
)
thexchaunge
of
their
Testons
at
his
graces
myntes
,
might
be
an
occasion
that
others
of
the
richer
sorte
with
whome
thei
shoulde
perchaunce
be
driuen
to
bargayne
for
other
money
in
lieu
of
their
Testons
,
should
then
exact
or
take
of
them
vnresonably
for
thexchange
(
as
it
hath
camē
to
his
highnes
knowlege
that
somme
al
redy
haue
not
ben
ashamed
to
demaunde
and
take
so
agaynst
all
conscience
and
equitie
)
His
highnes
therfore
by
thefor
.
and
a●●●…
do
the
strayghtly
charge
&
commaunde
that
no
