BY THE KING A PROCLAMATION Prohibiting the keeping of the Mart at BOSTON , in the County of LINCOLN . CHARLES REX ,

THe Kings most Excellent Majesty , out of His Princely and Christian care of his loving Subjects , That no good means of Providence may be neglected , to stay the further spreading of the great Infection of the Plague , doth finde it necessary to prevent all occasions of Publick Concourse of His People for the present , till it shall please Almighty God , of His Goodness , to cease the violence of the Contagion , which is very far dispersed into many parts of this Kingdom already ; and therefore , remembring that there is at hand a Mart or Fair of Note , unto which there is usually extraordinary Resort out of several Parts of the Kingdom kept at Boston in the County of Lincoln ; The holding whereof at the usual time , would , in all likelyhood , be the occasion of further Danger and Infection to other Parts of the Land , which yet , by Gods Mercy , stands clear and free , Hath ( with the Advice of his Privy Councel ) thought good , by this open Declaration of his Pleasure and necessary Commandment , not onely to admonish and require all his loving Subjects to forbear to Resort , for this time , to the said Mart or Fair kept at Boston aforesaid , or to any other Fair or Fairs in the said County of Lincoln ; But also to enjoyn the Lord or Lords of the said Fair , or others interested therein , that they all forbear to hold the said Fair , or any thing appertaining thereunto , at the time accustomed , or at any other time , till by Gods goodness and mercy the Infection of the Plague shall cease , or be so much diminished , that His Majesty shall give Order for holding them , upon pain of such Punishment , as for a Contempt , so much concerning the general Safety of His People , they shall be adjudged to deserve , which they must expect to be Inflicted with all severity . And to that purpose , doth hereby further charge and enjoyn ( under the like Penalty ) all Citizens and Inhabitants of the Cities of London and Westminster , That none of them shall repair unto any Fairs , held within any part of this Kingdom , until it shall please God to cease the Infection still continuing amongst them . His Majesties Intention being , and so hereby Declaring Himself , That no Lord of any Fair , or others interested in the Profits thereof , shall , by this necessary and temporary Restraint , receive any prejudice in the right of his or their Fairs , or Liberties thereunto belonging ; any thing before-mentioned notwithstanding .

Given at Our Court at Oxford , the Tenth Day of November , in the Seventeenth Year of our Reign . GOD SAVE THE KING .

OXFORD , Printed by Leonard Lichfield , Printer to the University , For John Bill , and Christopher Barker , Printers to the KING'S most Excellent Majesty . Anno Dom. 1665.
