WHereas at the rising of the late Session of our Parliament, wee prorogued the same vntill the six­teenth day of Nouember now next ensuing, For as much as the Infection of the plague is now in some parts of our Citie of London, So that it is to bee feared that if the Terme and Parliament should meete together, and there­by draw a double concourse of people from all parts of the Realme thither, it might giue occasion both to increase the saide Sickenesse there­abouts (where our most abode is) and to disperse it into other parts of the Realme, Wee haue therefore thought it fit to prorogue it further into the Winter, that is to say, to the tenth day of February next, at which day our purpose is, God willing, to hold the same; And doe hereby giue notice to all whom it concerneth, that they may frame their affaires accordingly, and attend at the said tenth day of February to that seruice.

Giuen at our Honour of Hampton Court the last day of September, in the fifth yeere of our Reigne of Great Britaine, France and Ireland.

God saue the King.
