THe Queenes Maiestie hauyng not long since geuen her louyng subiectes knowledge by Proclamation, of certayne forrayne Coynes of golde brought into this Realme, of muche lesse value then Angels of golde of this Realme, and yet stamped so like to the same Angels, as it was harde without diligent markynge therof, to decerne the one from the other: Is newely infourmed, that an other sort of forrayne Coyne of golde, of great quantitie, is lykewyse brought of late tyme into the Realme, beyng stamped lyke the Royalles of golde of .x.s. and yet beyng much lesse in value both in weight and fynenesse, wherby many of her good subiectes receauyng the same, are dayly deceaued and dammaged. And for that purpose, her Maiestie hath thought very meete to warne al her subiectes to take diligent heede and regarde to these maner of notable deceiptes, entended by euyll disposed persons, in vtteraunce of the sayde forrayne Coynes.

And for remedy herein, Her Maiestie strayghtly chargeth and commaundeth all maner of persons, that haue or shall haue any coynes of golde or syluer, being made or fourmed in lykenesse to the Angell or Royall of golde of this Realme, or lyke to any other peece of coyne of golde or siluer, allowed to be currant money in this Realme, & shal of their owne knowledge, or by admonition of any other, vnderstand the same coynes, not to be lawfull currant monies of this Realme, in no wyse to vtter any of the same to any person in the name of any monyes, but only to sell or chaunge them at the mynt, or otherwise vse them as Bullion, accordyng to theyr weight and finenesse, vppon payne that whosoeuer shall do to the contrary, shalbe attached, and commytted to pryson, there to remayne without baile or maynepryse, vntill her Maiesties expresse pleasure in that case shalbe certaynely knowen. And shal further suffer that, which shalbe due to persons committyng such offences, tendyng to the derogation of the dignitie of this Crowne, and to the manifest deceipt and colourable robbery of her highnes people.

And because it may manifestly appeare to the sight of her subiectes, howe to auoide the deceiptes alredy discouered, in the vtteraunce of the foresaide coynes: Her Maiestie hath ordered, that there shalbe prynted and publysshed herewith, the true pryntes and stampes, of the Angels and Royals being the currant monies of this Realme, and also the stampes of the forrayne monyes aboue mentioned, whiche do in part resemble her Maiesties sayd monyes, and in part do in dede differ from the same, although without regard therto had, either by weight or sight, they may seme all one, and not different.

And for that it may be, that mo like attemptes wilbe inuented hereafter, to deuise other coynes, to resemble the rest of the coynes of golde or siluer beyng currant in this Realme, therby to deceyue her people: Her Maiestie wylleth, that al her Sheriffes in all Counties for the tyme beyng, and all [...], and head officers, of [Page] Townes Corporate, and Baliffes of liberties, whensoeuer they or any of them, shal perceyue that this abuse shall hereafter be reuiued in the vttrance of these coynes, or that any newe attempte shall appeare, for any lyke deceypt to be used to the preiudice of other currant moneys of this Realme: They shal cause this her proclamation without further commaundement, to be newely proclaymed, and set vp in tyme and place accustomed, addyng to the ende of this proclamation, an admonition to the people, to beware of such other straunge monyes by name, as shall not be allowable to be currant within this Realme. And shal further vse al good meanes, to trye and search out the offenders agaynst the meanyng hereof, and without delay, shall commyt the same to straight pryson, accordyng to the intent of this present proclamation.

Geuen at Westminster the fyrst day of December. 1565. the eyght yere of her Maiesties reigne.

God saue the Queene.

Editorial practices

EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).
