❧ By the Quene.

THe Quenes Maiestie vnderstandeth, that where she hath geuen order, that all her louing subiectes to whom she oweth any money vpon lone, shoulde be fully and spedyly payde: certayne persons intendyng vnduely to seeke a gayne herein, haue of late sought to redeme into theyr handes, a number of priuie Seales, which were delyuered to the sayde creditours for assuraunce of repayment, with condition to pay to them lesse portions, then ought and shalbe payde by her Maiestie to the sayde creditours. Which abuse, her Maiestie so muche misliketh, as a thyng tendyng in some part to the discredite of her payment, and insome other, to damnifie such persons, as her Maiestie thinketh worthy, not onely of theyr money, but of her thankes: that her expresse commaundement and will is, that yf any person may any wise be knowen, that may be herewith charged, the partie so offen­dyng, shall not onely make full payment to the creditours, but shalbe furder punished, vntyll hee haue made satisfaction for his offence, against the honour and credite of her Maiestie.

Yeuen at S. Iames the xi. day of Nouember, the sixt yere of her Maiesties raigne.

God saue the Quene.
