THe Quenes Maiestie vnderstanding that there be certaine persons , hauing in times past the office of Ministery in the church , which nowe do purpose to vse their former office in Preaching and Ministery , and partly haue attempted the same , assembling specially in the City of London in sondry places , great nomber of people , wheruppon riseth amonges the common sort not only vnfrutefull dispute in matters of religion , but also contention and occasion to breake common quiet : Hath therfore according to thauthoritie committed to her highnes , for the quiet gouernaunce of al maner her subiectes , thought it necessary to charge & commaund , like as hereby her highnes doth charge and commaund , all maner of her Subiectes , aswel those that be called to ministery in the churche , as al others : that they do forbeare to preache or teache , or to gyue audience to any maner of doctrine or preachyng , other then to the Gospels and Epistels , commonly called the Gospell and Epistel of the daye , and to the Ten commaundementes in the vulgar toung , without exposition or addition of any maner sence or meaning to be applied or added , or to vse any other maner of publique Praier , Rite or Ceremonie in the churche : but that whiche is alredy vsed and by lawe receaued , or the common Letany vsed at this present in her Maiesties owne Chapell , and the Lordes praier , and the Crede in English , vntill consultation may be had by Parliament , by her Maiestie and her three estates of this Realme , for the better conciliation and accorde , of suche causes as at this present are moued in maters and ceremonies of Religion .

THE true aduauncement wherof to the due honour of almighty God , the increace of vertue and godlynes with vniuersall charitie and concord amonges her people , her Maiestie mooste desyreth and meaneth effectually by all maner of meanes possible , to procure and to restore to this her Realme . Wherunto , as her Maiestie instantly requireth all her good faithfull and louing subiectes to be assenting and ayding with due obedience : So , if any shall disobediently vse them selfes to the breache herof , her Maiestie both must and will see the same duely punyshed , both for the qualite of thoffence , and for example to all others neglecting her Maiesties so reasonable commaundement . Yeuen at her highnes palais of Westminster , the .xxvij. day of December , the first yeare of her Maiesties reigne .

God saue the Quene .
