authoritie hereof to be wel obserued and the poore people prouided of necessary Corne and that with as much fauour in the prices as by their earnest perswasion of the Iustices can be obtained By this it is not meant to charge any Lorde of Parliament being a Iustice of Peace to attende vpon any such seruice in any Market otherwise then it shall be with his owne good will but in all other causes tending to the execution of these orders it is hoped that euery person of any estate will readily giue aduise and assistance Where Iustices are wanting in any Hundred for to appoint some rich persons to supply the want If there shall be any Hundred Rape or Wapentake within the sayd Countie within the which or nere thereunto no sufficient number of the sayd Iustices of the Peace do dwell or inhabit the sayd Shirife and foure Iustices of the Peace of that Countie shall in that case appoynt some other honest Gentleman or the high Constables vnder Constables or such other graue honest and substantiall persons not being Corne masters dwelling within the said Hundred Rape or Wapentake as they shal by their discretions thinke conuenient to haue the charge doing the execution of these

Word that the poore may be serued of Corne at conuenient and charitable prices And to the furtherance thereof that the richer sort be earnestly mooued by Christian charitie to cause their Graine to be solde vnder the common prices of the Market to the poorer sort A deed of mercy that will doubtlesse be rewarded of Almightie God That there be no buying or bargeining of any kinde of Corne but in open Market and that the Iustices in their seueral Diuisions restraine common Maulsters of making Barlie Mault To make Mault of otes in countreys where there hath bene vse thereof in those countreyes and places where there be Oates sufficient to make Mault of for the vse of the people and to restraine as well the brewing of Barley Mault by or for Ale-houses or common Tiplers in those Countreis and places as also the excesse vse of any
kinde of Mault by al common Brewers Maulsters and common Tiplers according to the true meaning of this Article And that the vnnecessary number of Alehouses and common Tiplers be foorth with suppressed in all places and that direction bee giuen to all Tipling houses Tauernes and Alehouses not to suffer any persons to repaire thither to eate and drinke at vnseasonable times or to continue in such houses longer then to satisfie their necessitie of eating and drinking That the Iustices vse al other good meanes possible that are not mentioned in these orders No wast of bread Corne superfluously nor any expense thereof but for seeding of people that the Markets may be well serued and the poore relieued in their prouisions during this time of dearth And that no expense of any Graine meet for bread to feede men be wasted vpon feeding of dogges or other beastes neyther that any bee spent in making stuffe called Starche None suffered to make Starch of any Graine as of late there hath bene

such purposes if such purposes at least were requisite be solde either in Corne or meale but to charge them to continue the orderly vse of grinding of all maner of Corne that shal be brought to them in reasonable good sort and vpon reasonable Tolle And for better performance hereof some of the Iustices not affectionated to the Millers shall some time personally themselu●s resort to the milles to ouersee the doings of the said Millers and compell them to doe their dueties And where none of the Iustices can as need shall be weekely looke thereto personally they shall appoint certaine honest persons weekely to attend therto and to enforme themselues of the poorer sort how they are vsed in this time of dearth for their grinding and their Toll and present the defaults to the Iustices to be speedily reformed with all due seueritie Conferences to be had betwixt the Iustices of Peace in the Shires and the principall officers of Cities and townes corporate for prouisions of Graine for the inhabitants in Cities and corporate Townes Item where there are within the circuite of any Shire or thereto adioyning any Cities that are incorporated as Townes within themselues or any other Townes incorporate that haue by good authoritie Iustices of Peace of their owne inhabitants for that commonly such Cities and Townes haue their greatest number of housholders that are no owners of graine but haue common Bakers Brewers must of necessitie buy prouide their Corne or Meale at the Markets neere thereto to serue all other the inhabitants and resiants within the said Cities and Townes For the prouision of all such Cities Townes it shal be necessary that the Iustices of the Peace of the Shires next to the same Cities and Townes shall haue a meeting and conference with the head Officers of the sayd Cities and Townes howe and in what good manner the Bakers and Brewers and other housholders that shall also haue neede to prouide Corne or Meale for the necessarie vse of the priuate housholdes may be prouided at the Markets neere to the same And after due conference had hereof there shall bee by the Iustices of Peace and the foresaide head Officers some good orders set downe such as both may serue for the needefull vse of the same Townes and Cities and also may not by abuse giue cause of raising of prices in the Markets Countries adioyning And where there shall be adioyning to the same Cities Townes or not farre distant diuers Shires as in many places such is the situation of them there some of the Iustices of euery Shire so adioyning or not farre distant shall vse such conference and take such orders with the saide Officers as afore is mentioned And in such cases the Iustices of euery such Shire shal be enformed mutually from the one Shire vnto the other of the needefull prouisions to bee made from time to time for the saide Cities and Townes so as euery Shire may proportionably yeelde reasonable succour and reliefe out of their Markets to the Purueyors or to the Bakers Brewers as shall be requisite without burthening of the one more then the other may reasonably beare And if neede shall require the aforesaide principall Officers shall not refuse to acquaint the Iustices from whence the prouision shall bee bought and prouided howe such prouisions so had and bought in Markets are spent that by colour of such prouisions no abuse be committed to encrease the prices and so to leaue the poore vnable to be relieued O●●er fo● places exempted from the Iurisdiction of the Iustices of peace in the bodyes of the Shires If there bee any speciall part within any Shire that hath as a libertie by speciall Commissions any Iustices of the Peace within the same the Shirife of the Shire shall send vnto the principall owner or Officer of such Libertie notice of these orders and shall charge them that the Iustices of the Peace within such Libertie doe their dueties for execution of al these orders as farre foorth as shall be requisite and therein also to vse by conference the aduise of some other Iustices next adioyning Regard to stay all transportation of Grayne out of the realme That in all Counties maritimme where Ports or Creeks are by which any Corne may be carried out of the Realme though also there are Commissioners appointed vnder the great Seale of England to take care that no Corne be shipped or laden in any vessell to passe out of the Realme Yet neuerthelesse the Iustices of the Peace that are not placed in that Commission if they be no owners of Corne to sell shall also vse their diligence to stay such lading of Corne either in Ports or Creekes or vpon any Riuers leading to the same And if the foresaide Cōmissioners shall not do their dueties therein by authoritie of their commission then any other Iustice by authoritie of these orders shall make stay of all such transportation and in his so doing shal be allowed and maintained And this is thought meet to be in this sort directed for that it may be doubted that amongest so many as are appointed in the foresaid Commission against transportation some may bee mistaken being themselues either transporters or friends or fauourers to transporters or negligent in the execution of the charge committed to them That the Iustices of the Peace doe once euery moneth certifie their doings and proceedings by force of these instructions vnto the Sheriffe of the sayde Countie Certificate to be made of the Execution of these Orders monethly to the Sheriffe and he to certifie the same to the priuie Counsell within euery fourty dayes in which certificate they shall also make certificate of such Iustices as shall be
