Forreigne Ambassadours and Strangers thither the ordinary place for Our Courts of Iustice and resort of our Nobilitie and Gentry there for these occasions And foreseeing that the honour gouernment health and safety of this Citie was of great consequence vnto Vs and that Our Royall Progenitors in former times especially Our most Royall Father of blessed memory King IAMES the most Excellent Princesse Queene ELIZABETH in their times by their Royall Proclamations had carefully prouided for the same Wee according to those worthy examples by Our Royall Proclamation did straitly prouide against the erecting of Houses Buildings vpon new Foundations the entertaining of Inmates in and about this Citie which would multiple the Inhabitants to such an excessiue number that they could neither be gouerned nor fedd And did also thereby giue Rules for the Repairing and new Building of ancient houses decayed in such a comely manner with Bricke or Stone as might bee for the honour and safety of the Citie And for the putting of this Our Commandement into due execution Wee did make and seuerall times renew Our Commission directed to the Lord Maior of Our said Citie and diuers other persons of honour and worth grounding the same vpon rules of Law and Iustice as against publique and common Nusances aswell as vpon reason of State and Gouernement all tending to the publique good of

Lords of Our Priuie Councell or in Our Court of Starchamber to the end that such proceeding may bee had against them as may stand with Our Honour and with Our Lawes And for stay and preuention of the like offences hereafter Our expresse will and pleasure is That where any person shall presume after the publication of this Proclamation to erect or set vp in any kind whatsoeuer any Building vpon new Foundation within the limits of three miles from any of the Gates of the Citie of London or Palace of Westminster That the Owners of the Building so begun and all the workemen therein imployed shall forthwith by force and vertue of Our Royall commandement without expecting any other or further Warrant be attached brought before some of Our sayd Commssioners and Iustices of Peace whom Wee also

bee committed against any Branch or Article of the sayd Proclamation to make stay thereof and certifie the Commissioners or the Lords of Our Priuie Councell of the said offences and offenders it being now manifest that many of the sayd offences haue beene committed and done by the negligence or conniuencie of some of the Aldermens Deputies within the Citie of London other inferiour Officers in the Counties adiacent in not attending Our Commandement by timely staying the proceeding of such new buildings Wee therefore doe hereby declare Our will and pleasure to be That where any Building shall bee begun contrary to this Our Proclamation Wee will take a strict account thereof aswell from the said Aldermen as the Iustices of Peace aforesayd happening within their seuerall limits and Iurisdictions And further Our will and pleasure is That aswell the Aldermens Deputies in their seuerall Precincts as the High and Petie Constables and Headboroughs and other inferiour Officers in
