By the King . A PROCLAMATION Prohibiting the keeping the Fair of Holden alias Howden , in the County of York . CHARLES R.

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 find 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 taking notice that there is at hand a Fair in the County of York , not far from that City , called Holden or Howden Fair ; the holding whereof now at the usual time , would in all likelihood be the occasion of further Danger and Infection , especially to those parts of the Land , which yet , by Gods mercy , stand clear and free ; Hath , with the Advice of His Privie-Council , 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 Fair of Holden alias Howden , or to any other Fair or Fairs within the County of York ; but also to enjoyn the Lord or Lords of the said Fairs , and others Interessed in them , or any of them , That they all forbear to hold any the said Fairs , or any thing appertaining to them at the times 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 the same ; upon pain of such punishments , as for a Contempt so much concerning the General Safety of His people , they shall be judged to deserve ; which they must expect to be inflicted with all severity . And to that purpose doth hereby further Charge and Enjoyn under like Penalty , all Citizens and Inhabitants of the Cities of London and Westminster , that none of them shall repair to the said Fair of Holden alias Howden , or any Fairs held within the said County of York , or any part of this Kingdom , until it shall please God to cease the Infection now reigning amongst them : His Majesties intention being , and so hereby declaring Himself , That no Lord of any Fairs , or others Interessed 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 Salisbury , the Twenty seventh day of August , 1665. in the Seventeenth year of Our Reign . God save the King .
