By the Queene . ❧ A Proclamation for the ordering of the exchange of Money vsed by Merchants , according to the Lawes and Statutes of the Realme .

FOrasmuch as there are so great abuses of late yeeres growne by the corrupt dealing of sundry Merchants and Brokers , aswell Strangers as English , vpon bargaines of exchanges , and rechanges of Moneys to bee payed , both out and within this Realme , as not onely the good , laudable , and profitable vse of naturall Merchandizing is greatly decayed , the true values of the moneyes of this Realme much abased , and her Maiesties Customes and Subsidies , that are the ancient inheritance of this Crowne diminished and withdrawne , with sundry other inconueniences , to the notable damage of this Realme : For the due remedy whereof , there hath bene made heretofore sundry good Lawes and Statutes of this Realme , which doe still continue in their force .

The Queenes Maiestie intending to haue such great enormities and mischiefes remedied , doeth giue all maner Merchants , Brokers , and all other persons vsing to bargaine by exchange or rechange , to vnderstand , that her meaning is to haue such Lawes and Statutes to bee put in execution , as haue bene prouided , and doe remaine in force for this purpose : and therefore warneth all maner of persons , to haue hereafter due regard thereto , vpon such penalties , as in the said Lawes , Statutes , and other Ordinances remayning in their force is prouided : And for the lawfull satisfaction of all such as shall haue necessary cause to take or deliuer any Money by exchange , there shall be certaine Orders in writing set vp in places conuenient , declaring the rates thereof , as the same shall and ought to bee payed to the vse of her Maiestie , or to her ministers and Officers thereto authorized .

The xx . of September 1576. in the xviij . yeere of the prosperous Raigne of the Queenes Maiestie . God saue the Queene .

Imprinted at London by Richard Iugge , Printer to the Queenes Maiestie .
