❧ By the King . ❧ A Proclamation for putting off this next Bartholomew Faire in Smithfield , and our Lady Faire in Southwarke .

WHereas His MAIESTIE hath taken speciall care , and given seuerall directions , that the vsuall Assemblies and concourse of people might be omitted and forborne , the better to prevent the Danger and Increase of the Infection : Yet finding that the Plague is dispersed in sundry places in and neere about the Citie of London , His Maiestie in pursuance of those directions , and out of His continuall care of the safety of His Subiects in generall , and of the said City in particular , and to cut off all occasions that may conduce to the further spreading of the sicknesse , Doth hereby declare his Royall will and pleasure for the putting off this next Bartholomew Faire , vsually keptin Smithfield , and of a Faire kept in Southwarke , called our Lady Faire .

And therefore his Maiesty doth admonish and command all His louing Subiects to forbeare to resort this yeare to the said Faires or either of them ; And doth also require and enioyne the Lords , and others interessed in the same Faires , that they shall not hold this now next Bartholomew Faire in Smithfield , nor our Lady Faire in Southwarke nor elsewhere ; Vpon paine of such punishment , as for a Contempt so much concerning the generall safety of His Maiesties Subiects they shall be adiudged to deserve .

Giuen at Our Court at Oatelands , the three and twentieth day of Iuly in the thirteenth yeare of Our Reigne . ❧ God saue the King .
