A proclamacion set furth by the Kinges Maiestie with the aduise of his highnes most honorable counsail , for the shortening of a day , limited in another proclamation , concerning the abacing of the value of Shilinges and Grotes .

WHereas the Kinges maiestie , very lately by proclamation did ordeine vpon diuers great and profitable considerations that the pece of siluer coine , called the shilling , shoulde after the last day of August next , be currant for . ix . d . and not aboue , and the peece of siluer coine called the grote , should likewise after the same day be currant for . iii , d . and not aboue : His maiestie now vnderstandeth , vpon the aduertisement of his priuie Counsaill , that although his meaning was muche fauourable to his people , in the setting so long a daye , not minding that the sodynes therof should be ouer greuous : Yet neuerthelesse , the couetousnes of certeine kinde of people , is so insatiable , that by the craft vsed in this behalf , the goodnes of his maiesty towardes his people , is muche abused , by the excessiue raising of the prices of victual and other thinges , in the handes of Grasters , great Fermours , Merchauntes and suche like , that it appeareth now very nedefull , to shorten the former day . Wherefore his maiestie , with the good aduise of the Lordes , and others of his priuey counsail , doth ordeine , determine and publish , his most royal pleasor to be , that the said peece of siluer coine , named the shilling , shall at and immediately , after this present proclamation published , be curtaunt , paide and receaued but onely for . ix . d . and not aboue . And likewise , the peece of siluer called the grote , shal at and immediately after this proclamation published , be curtaunt , paide and receaued , for iii . d . and not aboue : Willing and straightly commaunding all maner of persones , so to receaue and pay the same , neither for more nor lesse , vpon like peines conteined in the former proclamation , any thing in the saied former proclamation notwithstanding .

At Grenewiche the of Iune . The fift yere of the reigne of the kinges maiestie . God saue the King .
