C R HONI SOIT QVI MAL Y PENSE DIEV ET MON DROIT ❧ By the King A Proclamation for restraint of killing dressing and eating of Flesh in Lent or on Fish-dayes appointed by the Law to be hereafter obserued by all sorts of people WHereas diuers good Lawes and Statutes haue heretofore with great care and prouidence been made and enacted for the due obseruation of Lent and other dayes appointed for Fishdayes aswel for the sparing and increase of Flesh victuall as for the maintenance of the Nauie Shipping of this Realme by the encouragement of Fishermen to goe to the Seas for the taking of Fish which Lawes and politique Constitutions haue from time to time been seconded and quickened by sundry Proclamations and other Acts and Ordinances of State in the tunes of Our Royall Predecessors And whereas notwithstanding so many good prouisions heretofore had and made in that kinde We haue obserued that the inordinate libertie vsually taken by all sorts of people to kill dresse and cate Flesh in the Lent season and on other dayes and times prohibited is become so inueterate an euill that it will require more then ordinary care to suppresse the same We therefore much affecting the reformation of so great and growing an euil which is so great an enemie to the plenty of this Our Kingdome Haue thought fit thus timely the better to take away all pretences of excuse to expresse Our selfe and Our Royall Commandement in this behalfe Whereof without future declaration of Our pleasure in this kinde We shall expect and doe require from all Our Subiects that due notice be taken and that a strict and continued obedience and conformitie be yeelded thereunto both for the present and in all succeeding times And therefore Wee doe straitly charge and command all and euery person and persons whatsoeuer to whom it may appertaine carefully to prouide and see that these Orders following may be duely obserued and put in execution vpon paine of Our high displeasure and such penalties as by the Lawes of this Our Realme may be inflicted vpon the Offenders for their contempt or neglect of Vs and Our Lawes whereof Wee shall shew Our Selfe most sensible And first whereas we find that the chiefest cause of these disorders hath growen from the Licences that haue been granted to Butchers to kill and vtter Flesh contrary to Law and that by Our Lawes no Maior Iustice of Peace or other person of what degree or quality soeuer can grant any Licence in this kinde And that the Lords and others of Our Priuy Councell doe by Our direction forbeare to grant the same or giue way thereunto Our will and pleasure is vpon the penalties prouided by Law and such further punishment to be inflicted vpon the offenders as shall be thought meete that no such Licence shall be granted for the killing or vttering of Flesh And that no Butcher or other person whatsoeuer doe by colour thereof kill vtter or put to sale any Flesh contrary to the Lawes established and prouided in that behalfe And for the auoiding of such inconueniences hereafter Our will pleasure is That the Lord Maior of Our Citie of London and euery other Officer and Iustice of Peace shal call before them and send for any of the seruants of any Inholders Victualers Cooks Alehousekeepers Tauerners and keepers of Ordinary tables such others that vtter Victuals to examine them vpon their corporall Oathes what Flesh is or hath been during the Lent season or other dayes prohibited by the Law dressed killed vttered or eaten in their houses which if they shall refuse to doe then to commit to prison the said seruants so refusing vpon their Oaths to declare the trueth That the Lord Maior shall also yeerely before Lent or at the beginning thereof cause all Inholders keepers of Ordinary tables Victuallers Alehouse keepers Tauerners within the Citie and Liberties thereof to appeare before him or such persons as he shall appoint meet for that purpose And shall take Recognizances with sufficient Sureties of euery of them in good summes of money Viz One hundred pounds of the Principal and their sureties thirty pounds a piece to Our vse not to dresse any Flesh in their houses in the Lent time or at other times prohibited for any respect nor suffer it to be eaten contrary to Law The like Recognizance with Sureties shal be taken of the like parties vpon like penalties by the Iustices of Peace of Our City of Westminster and the Liberties thereof euery of the said Recognizances to be certified into Our Exchequer And for the Butchers and others that come with Victuall or Flesh out of the Countrey into the Citie Our pleasure is That the Lord Maior shall cause certaine persons to watch at the Gates and other like places in the Suburbs where Flesh may be brought to view search and to intercept the same And if any of those Watchmen shall bee found negligent and corrupt in his Charge then he to be committed to prison during the whole Lent And to the end that Fishermen may imploy themselues to Sea with better encouragement then heretofore and that the Fishmongers may furnish themselues with such store from time to time hereafter as shall be expedient aswell for the prouision of the Citie as for selling the same at reasonable Rates We will that they take notice of this Our Commandement constant resolution for obseruance of Lent Fish dayes both now and hereafter as by Law is required And furthermore as We thinke it fit that euery man should be a rule of order and abstinence in his owne house aswell in respect of the publique as of his priuate case and benefit So We straitly charge and command all Inholders keepers of Ordinary tables Victuallers Alehouse keepers and Tauerners not to make any Supper for any person or persons whatsoeuer vpon Friday nights either in Lent or out of Lent nor to suffer any meate to be then dressed vttered sold or eaten in their houses vpon paine of such punishment as is due to those that shall contemne Our Royall pleasure and Commandement And forasmuch as vpon further aduice and consideration had that the restraint of killing and dressing of Flesh is no sufficient remedie for the mischiefe valesse there be better care also taken to suppresse the vnlawfull and inordinate eating of Flesh in the time of Lent and on other daies and times prohibited wherewith our Subiects haue accustomed themselues rather for delicacie then for necessitie It is therefore our Roall will and pleasure and accordingly We doe hereby straitly prohibit and forbid all Our Subiects of what degree or qualitie soeuer within this Realme to eat any maner of Flesh in the time of Lent or on other daies now vsually obserued as Fish daies without a speciall Licence first obtained from the Bishop of the Diocesse or such other as by the Law haue power to giue Licence in that behalfe according to Our Lawes in
