FOr asmuch as the Lords day commonly called Sunday , is of late much broken and prophaned by a disorderly sort of people , in frequenting Tavernes , Alehouses , and the like , and in carrying and putting to sale Victuall , and other things , and exercising unlawfull Games and Pastimes to the great dishonor of God , and reproach of Religion , whereof the House of Commons now assembled hath beene pleased to take notice , and by their Order , intimation hath beene by me given , that the Statutes for the due observance of that day should be put in execution .

These are therefore to will and require you forthwith upon sight hereof to give strict charge and command unto all and every the Churchwardens and Constables within your Ward , that from henceforth they doe not permit or suffer any person , or persons in the time of Divine Service , or at any time upon the Lords day , to be tipling in any Taverne Inne , Tobacco shop , Alehouse , or other Victualling house whatsoever , nor suffer any Fruiterers or Herbewomen to stand with Fruite , Herbes , or other Victuall , or Wares , in any Streetes , Lanes , or Allies within your Ward , or any other wayes to put those or any other things to sale on that day , at any time of the day , or in the evening thereof , or any Milkewomen to cry Milke on that day in any the Streetes , or places aforesaid , nor to permit or suffer any person or persons to use or exercise upon that day , their labour in unlading any vessels of Fruite or other Goods , and carrying Goods on shore , or in the Streetes , or to doe any unlawfull exercises and pastimes within your Ward , and that expresse charge be given to every keeper of any Taverne , Inne , Cookeshops , Tobacco-house , Alehouse , or any other Tipler or Victualler whatsoever , within your Ward , that hereafter they receive not , or suffer to remaine any person or persons whatsoever , as their Guests or Customers to tipple , eate , drinke or take Tobacco in their houses upon the Lords day , other then that Inholders may receive their ordinary Guests , or Travailers , and such like , who come to remaine for a time in their Inne , for dispatch of their necessary businesse . And if any person or persons shall be found offending in the premises that then they be brought before me the Lord Major or some other of his Majesties Iustices of the Peace , to the end they may receive such punishment , as to Iustice shall appertaine . And hereof not to faile , as you will answer the contrary at your perill :
