A
Proclamation
signifying
the
Kings
Maiesties
pleasure
,
touching
the
resort
of
people
to
his
Coronation
.
FOrasmuch
as
wee
finde
that
the
Infection
within
our
Citie
of
London
doeth
dayly
increase
,
and
is
like
(
to
our
griefe
)
rather
to
augment
then
diminish
,
aswel
by
reason
of
the
season
of
the
yeere
,
as
by
the
great
Concourse
of
people
to
our
sayd
City
against
the
time
of
our
Coronation
,
some
to
do
their
dueties
in
such
necessary
seruices
,
as
to
them
belongeth
at
that
Solemnitie
,
and
some
for
comfort
they
take
in
the
sight
of
our
Person
,
of
the
Queene
our
deare
wife
,
and
of
our
children
;
Although
there
could
be
no
greater
ioy
to
vs
then
the
presence
and
confluence
of
all
sorts
of
good
Subiects
at
such
a
time
,
when
the
more
there
should
be
partakers
of
that
publique
reioycing
,
the
more
should
bee
our
Particular
comfort
:
yet
such
is
our
feare
least
this
their
resort
should
worke
a
contrary
effect
both
to
their
and
our
expectation
,
namely
to
bee
a
meanes
not
onely
of
increasing
the
Infection
within
our
Citie
,
but
of
dispersing
it
into
all
places
of
this
Realme
,
as
wee
had
rather
forbeare
some
part
of
our
Ornament
and
Custome
,
which
is
due
to
the
Honour
and
Solemnitie
of
our
Coronation
,
then
by
hauing
the
vttermost
thereof
perfourmed
,
bee
the
occasion
of
so
great
an
euill
to
our
people
,
as
is
the
spreading
of
the
Infection
amongst
them
,
Wherefore
we
haue
thought
it
best
to
forbeare
of
that
Solemnitie
,
whatsoeuer
is
not
Essentiall
to
it
,
and
to
deferre
all
shewe
of
State
and
Pompe
accustomed
by
our
Progenitors
,
which
is
not
of
necessitie
to
be
done
within
the
Church
at
the
time
of
our
Coronation
,
As
also
to
omit
our
Solemne
entry
and
passage
through
our
Citie
of
London
for
this
time
,
intending
to
performe
the
same
hereafter
in
the
Winter
,
when
we
shall
perceiue
our
Citie
to
be
free
from
sickenesse
.
And
of
this
our
purpose
and
of
the
causes
thereof
,
we
haue
thought
good
to
giue
notice
to
all
our
Subiects
by
Proclamation
,
To
the
end
that
aswell
those
of
our
sayd
City
may
forbeare
to
proceede
in
such
Shewes
and
Ornaments
,
as
we
heare
they
out
of
their
loue
haue
in
hand
to
honour
our
sayd
entry
,
As
also
all
other
people
may
abstaine
from
resorting
to
our
sayd
City
at
this
time
,
other
then
such
,
as
haue
necessary
Employment
in
that
Solemnity
,
and
chiefely
about
such
parts
thereof
as
are
to
be
performed
onely
within
the
Church
:
whom
also
we
require
to
bring
with
them
no
greater
traine
of
seruants
,
then
of
necessitie
they
must
vse
each
of
them
in
his
degree
about
their
persons
;
Wherein
they
shall
both
prouide
for
their
owne
good
,
and
giue
vs
great
satisfaction
in
conforming
themselues
dutifully
to
this
our
Admonition
.
Giuen
at
our
Castle
of
Windsor
,
the
sixt
day
of
Iuly
,
1603.
in
the
first
yeere
of
our
Reigne
of
England
,
France
and
Ireland
,
and
of
Scotland
,
the
sixe
and
thirtieth
.
God
saue
the
King
