By HENRY Duke of NORFOLK, Earl-Marshall of England.

WHereas His Majesty hath been pleased to Command me to take Care that this pre­sent Mourning may be Performed with that Decency that becomes so Great an Occasion: This is therefore to Inform all Persons Concerned, That 'tis expect­ed They put Themselves into the Deep­est Mourning that is possible; (Long Cloaks onely ex­cepted) And that as well all Lords, as Privy-Council­lors, and Officers of His Late Majesty's, and now Maje­sty's Houshold, do Cover their Coaches, and Chairs, and Clothe their Livery Servants with Black Cloth; And that none presume to use any Varnish'd or Bullion Nails to be seen on their Coaches or Chairs; Except His Majesty, the Queen Consort, Queen Dowager, and their Royal High­nesses.

Given under my Hand this Ninth Day of February, 1684. In the First Year of His Majesty's Reign, King James the Second, over England, &c.
NORFOLK, Marshall.
