PROCLAMATION , Discharging Trade and Commerce with the City of London , and other Places of the Kingdom of England , suspected of the Plague . At Edinburgh , the twenty one of December , one thousand six hundred sixty five .

THe Lords of His Majesties Privy Council , taking to their serious consideration , that albeit by the infinit mercy of GOD , this Kingdom hath been hitherto preserved from the plague of Pestilence , which hath long continued at London , and broken out in many other Towns and Places of the Kingdom of England ; Yet the danger and fear of infection is as great as it hath been heretofore , by the resore of many People and Merchants to the City of London , and other Places suspected , for beginning Commerce and Trade , and adventuring to bring into this Kingdom all Commodities as formerly , albeit the Plague is not yet altogether ceased , and that all Goods and Merchandise to be imported from thence , may be yet justly suspected : And that Merchants and other Traffickers may conceive , that the Act and Proclamation of the twelfth of July last , whereby all Trade and Commerce betwixt this Kingdom and the City of London , and other suspected Places , was discharged till the first of November last , is now no more in force after the elapsing of the said first of November ; albeit by the said former Act and Proclamation , the said restraint and prohibition is not only laid on till the said first of November , but ay and while it should be expresly taken off by another Act and Proclamation . Therefore , that none pretend ignorance , they of new ratifie and approve the foresaid Act , in the whole Heads and Clauses thereof , and ordains all parties concerned to give full and exact obedience thereto , and declares the same to stand and be of full force , untill the first day of March next to come , in the year of GOD , one thousand six hundred and sixty six , and longer , ay and while the same be discharged : With certification , if any person whatsomever shall contraveen the same , they shall be lyable to the whole pains and penalties therein contained , to be inflicted without mercy . And ordains these presents to be printed , and published by Macers or Messengers at Armes , at the Mercat-cross of Edinburgh , Peer and Shoar of Lieth , Mercat-crosses of Dunce and Jedburgh , and other places needfull , that none pretend ignorance .
