WHereas the Queenes most excellent Maiestie by her Highnesse Proclama­tion in Nouember last, did appoint and limit the reading of the Lotterie with­in her Citie of London this x. of Ianuarie. And by the same did giue straight charge and commandement to all and singuler her officers, ministers and sub­iects hauing therein to do, to prepare themselues accordingly, as by the saide last Proclamation may appeare. Her Maiestie perceiueth, that of some mis­trust or doubtfull interpretation of the proceedings in the saide Lotterie, the first intention (to haue the collection and aduentures to haue amounted to a certains masse & summe of money, (where with a great number the aduenturers might haue bene largely benefited, according to a Chart thereof published in August, 1567.) is not, nor can not bee accomplished: Whereupon it is thought meet (without any further expectation or delay) to proceed to the publishing of the said Lotterie, for so much as is already collected, and to cause euery Aduenturer to be truely, indifie­rently, and ratably answered, according to the masse collected, without any indirect dealing towards any person. And to the intent that euery person hauing any interest herein, may vnderstand what in reason to expect for his Aduenture. It is to be vnderstand to all Aduenturers in the same Lotterie, that the very certaine summe of money collected, and chargeable to the same, is a twelfth part of the whole masse first by the said Chart appointed, and no more, as by due certificat and good accompt thereof (by her Highnesse Commissioners and Treasurers, being persons of speciall credite in that behalfe) made, her Maiestie is certainely enformed. Whereupon all Aduenturers shall be duely answered of their Prises accordingly af­ter the said rate: That is to say, To him that shall win the best and greatest Lotte, the summe of foure hundreth and sixteene pounds, thirteene shillings and foure pence, which is the iust twelfth part of fiue thousand pounds, before appointed to haue bene giuen, if the whole summe had bene collected. And so consequently euery person to be answered of the seuerall Prises contained in the saide Chart, after the saide Rate.

Giuing also to vnderstand, that for the supplying of the full number first appointed by the Chart, euery person hauing aduentured any one Lotte of the value of ten shillings, shall be admitted to twelue aduen­tures or hazards, after which aduentures or hazards, the said rate of a twelfth part, shall be duely answe­red and payed in ready money. And whosoeuer hath aduentured more then one Lot, after the rate of ten shillings, shall be answered and payed in like sort: which seuerall aduentures, hazardes or Prises grow­ing of the said Lotterie, shall be duely answered and payed (after the Rate of the said twelfth part) accor­ding to the appointment and promise contained in the said first Chart.

And for this purpose, all persons hauing interest herein, shall and may begin to giue their attendance this present tenth day of Ianuary, and so to continue.

Yeouen at her Highnes honor of Hampton Court, the ninth day of Ianuary, 1568. and in the eleuenth yeere of her Maiesties most prosperous Raigne.

¶ God saue the Queene.
