Charles
R.
HIs
Maiesty
in
his
princely
compassion
and
very
tender
care
,
taking
into
consideration
the
distressed
condition
of
many
his
good
Subjects
,
whom
the
late
dreadful
and
dismal
fire
hath
made
destitute
of
habitations
,
and
exposed
to
many
exigencies
and
necessities
;
For
present
remedy
and
redresse
whereof
,
his
maiesty
,
intending
to
give
further
testimony
and
evidences
of
his
grace
and
favour
towards
them
as
occasion
shall
arise
,
hath
thought
fit
to
declare
and
publish
his
royal
pleasure
,
That
as
great
proportions
of
bread
and
all
other
provisions
as
can
possibly
be
furnished
,
shall
be
daily
and
constantly
brought
,
not
onely
to
the
Markets
formerly
in
use
;
but
also
to
such
Markets
as
by
his
Majesties
late
Order
and
Declaration

Islington
,
Finsbury-fields
,

:
his
majesty
being
sensible
that
this
will
be
for
the
benefit
also
of
the
Towns
and
Places
adjoyning
;
as
being
the
best
expedient
to
prevent
the
resort
of
such
persons
thereunto
as
may
pilfer
and
disturb
them
.
And
whereas
also
divers
of
the
said
distressed
persons
have
saved
and
preserved
their
Goods
,
which
nevertheless
they
know
not
how
to
dispose
of
:
It
is
his
maiesties
pleasure
,
That
all
Churches
,
Chappels
,
Schools
,
and
other
like
Publick
Places
,
shall
be
free
and
open
to
receive
the
said
Goods
,
when
they
shall
be
brought
to
be
there
laid
.
And
all
Iustices
of
the
Peace
within
the
several
Counties
of
middlesex
,
Essex
,
and
Surry
,
are
to
see
the
same
to
be
done
accordingly
.
And
likewise
that
all
Cities
and
Towns
whatsoever
shall
without
any
contradiction
receive
the
said
distressed
persons
,
and
permit
them
the
free
exercise
of
their
manual
Trades
;
his
maiesty
resolving
and
promising
,
that
when
the
present
exigent
shall
be
passed
over
,
he
will
take
such
Care
and
Order
,
that
the
said
persons
shall
be
no
burthen
to
their
Towns
or
Parishes
.
And
it
is
his
maiesties
Pleasure
,
That
this
his
Declaration
be
forthwith
published
,
not
onely
by
the
Sherifs
of
London
and
middlesex
,
but
also
by
all
other
Sherifs
,
mayors
▪
and
other
Chief
Officers
in
their
respective
Precincts
and
Limits
,
and
by
the
Constables
in
every
Parish
.
And
of
this
his
maiesties
pleasure
all
persons
concerned
are
to
take
notice
,
and
thereunto
to
give
due
obedience
to
the
utmost
of
their
power
,
as
they
will
answer
the
contrary
at
their
peril
.
