WHere in the Parliament holden at Westminster , in the thirteenth yeere of the Queenes Maiesties Raigne , amongst other things , there was one Acte and Statute made , intituled an Acte against vsurie , which Acte was then made to continue for , and during the space of fiue yeeres next after the end of the said Parliament , and from the end of the said fiue yeeres , to the end of the first Session of the Parliament then next insuing , as by the same Acte more at large it doth appeare . And forasmuch as the said fiue yeres were ended and expired in the eighteenth yeere of her Maiesties raigne , during the tune of the second session of this present Parliament begun at Westminster in the fourteenth yeere of her Maiesties raigne , and by diuers prorogations yet continuing : therefore some doubts and questions haue bin lately moued , whether the said Act & Statute should continue but vnto the end of the last Session of this present Parliament , which in deed was the third Session of the said Parliament begun in the said 14. yere of her Maiesties raigne , and first holden after the ende of the sayde fiue yeeres , or else vnto the end of the first Session of the next Parliament that hereafter shall fortune to be newly summoned . Wherefore her Highnesse considering that such doubts and questions being moued and spread abroad , may breed some troubles and many inconueniences amongst her louing Subiects , hath therefore thought good to vse the aduise of her Iudges and Counsell learned therein . And finding plainely by their opinions that the said Acte and Statute was not determined or expired at the end of the said last Session of Parliament , but doeth yet stand in full strength and force vntill the end of the first Session of the next Parliament , which hereafter shall fortune to be newly summoned : Doeth now by the aduise of her Maiesties priuie Counsell for the auoiding of all troubles that by the occasion of such fryuolous questions might hereafter ensue , notifie and declare by this her Maiesties Proclamation , to all her louing subiects , that the said Acte and Statute doeth and shall continue and remaine in ful force and effect , vntill the end of the first Session of the next Parliament , which hereafter shall fortune to bee newly summoned . And so willeth and straightly chargeth and commandeth all and euery her said subiects , to accept o . it as a lawe , yet standing in full force according to the good meaning thereof , without any such doubts or questions thereupon hereafter to be had , made , or moued by any person or persons whatsoeuer , in any of her Highnesse courts of Record or els where .

Giuen at her Maiesties Pallace of Westminster the nineteenth day of May . In the xxiii . yeere of her Highnesse Raigne . God saue the Queene .
