admonish such of his subiectes as be engrossers of Fermes victualles and other thinges c. and the inhauncers of al prices of thesame and for the amendement of their gredy and insatiable doinges c. the .xj. day of May in the .v. yere of his moste prosperous reigne THe kinges most excellent Maiestie hauing of late season vnderstanding and knowledge by diuerse and sundry consultacions of the Lordes and others of his priuie counsaill how necessary and beneficiall it should be for the wealth of his hole Realme to haue his Coyne reduced to finenes ▪ whiche hath bene made bace from the beginning of the latter Warres in the time of his maiesties father of most famous memory and so remained by continuance of the like hath had a greate godly and earnest desire daily increasing in his maiesties most noble and godly harte to beginne and attempt some towardenes to so greate a benefite and so to procede and achieue with asmuche his owne maiesties losse therin as possible were fitte for hym to susteine Wherefore of a moste godly minde towardes his people and a most feruent desire to begin to do this notable greate benefite for the whiche all good subiectes hath of late as it were with groninges longed his Maiesty with the aduise of his counsaill who with greate reasons were perswaded to aduise his maiestie therto caused his determination to be published by a proclamation bearing date ▪ the last day of Aprill last that from the last daie of August nexte following the shilling coyned and set furth by his maiesty shoulde be curraunt for ix d. sterf and no more and the grote for iii. d. as further appereth by the same proclamation without the whiche meanes his maiesty coulde neuer possible attempt or come nere to set furthe and make the Coyne of fine siluer according to his good desire and as in dede ordinarely his maiesty from the beginning of the consultacion hath ment and doth certainely meane Yet neuerthelesse suche is the malice and naughty nature of a certain kinde of people that liue onely for themselfes as it semeth by their doinges neither respect God King the suertye of his maiesties Croune nor any other Christian creature but goyng about to eate and deuoure aswell thestate of Nobilitie ▪ as the lower sorte beyng Seruing men Artificers Handicraftes poore Husbondemen laborers and such like and further maliciously ouerwharting and hindering all good purposes of the kinges maiestie and his counsaill trauailing to do to the common wealthe good and especially when they perceaue any thing purposed to amend the vnreasonable prices of victuall and suche necessary thinges for mens sustenance that as it is come to his Maiesties knowledge and his counsaill by the information of diuerse credible persons from sundry partes of this his Realme since the aforesaide proclamation was published whiche was the very ordinarye and necessary beginning of a manifest amendement of the coine the prices of victualles Wares such like thinges be purposely inhaunced beyond all expectacion and the gratious meaning of the kinges Maiestie and his counsaill vtterly peruerted and sinisterly abused thesame most manifestly comming of the deuelishe ▪ malice and slight of the foresaide kinde of naughty people iniurious to the whole common wealth which thinges considered his Maiesty hauing the Swearde not in vaine committed to him of God and with the same as a minister of the almighty the very indignacion and plages from heauen to fall where his Swearde shall strike cannot ne may not without th offence of God se and suffer suche lewde persones as wilfully be the causers hereof remaine vnpunished to their owne dampnations and the distruccion of others Wherfore his Maieste meaning not in ire ▪ or passion to execute his indignation but iustly and with good grounde hathe firste by the aduise of his counsaill thought mete to admonishe all kinde of people in their degrees and to let theym clerely vnderstand his pleasure and determinacion in this behalfe so as whosoeuer shal offend thesame shall not faile of sharpe and due puishment for their offences And therefore first of all to all suche as either wilfully or ignorantly hath mistaken his Maiestes good meaning vpon the former proclamatiō for the abacing of money his Maiestie declareth his good and gracious meaning and determinate purpose by the aduise of his counsaill to be therby to amend his coine to reduce it to finenes of siluer although thesame shal be most of al without al comparison to his maiestes losse and detrimēt and yet to the benefite of his subiectes the honor of the realme And next to suche Fermours ▪ Grasiers and Shepe Masters which by vnreasonable and fraudulent ingrossing of Fermes Graine Victuall aswell Butter and Chese as other grosser thinges as Woolle and suche like Wood Cole and other thinges pertaining to the dayly sustenance of man and enhaunsing the prices of thesame and by manifest decaiyng of tounes and tillage excessiue increasing of shepe contrary to diuers good lawes and statutes of this realme prouided for these caces not vnknowen to the offendors therin Whiche kinde of persones in dede his maiesty and his counsaill iudgeth to be the principall occasions of these almost vncausable dearthes His maiestie pronounceth threatneth that if they furthewth seace not their gredy vnlaufull and vnnaturall practizes colored with craftes and subtelties to auoyde and deceaue the meaning of the lawes and all honesty they shal suffre with his extreme indignation the Iustice of his lawes to the vttermost to the terror of al suche as being thus often gentely admonished haue neuer amended Thus muche doth his maieste in this behalf partely of clemency of nature admonish that would haue no cause to exercise extremitie partely if the naughtines of his subiecte shal geue him cause yet by this admonitiō the punishmēt shal be more iust and necessary And although his maiesty considereth howe conueniēt it is for his office hauing indifferent charge and care ouer all maner his subiectes not onely to reprehend the faultes of Offendors but also to punishe them seuerely yet because of late yeres the lower sorte of people lacking in dede in that parte all maner of reason and beyng like to those sicke madmen that either will haue no Phisicke or els will be their owne Phisitions haue presumpteously taken vpon them thoffice of his maiesty both in reprehending of their superiors and attempting redres of thinges after their own phantasies with force and contrary to the due obedience of good Subiectes towardes god and man Therfore also his maiestie likewise pronounceth and declareth vnto them and euery of them that if they shal excede their duties either in reprehending or attempting any maner of remedie or redresse otherwise then shall stand with the lawes and order of the realme His Maiesty wil not faile but minister vnto them sharp terror of his swearde and Lawes whiche as they be well prouided of late for suche offendors so shal they not lacke diligent and due execution God saue the King RICHARDVS GRAFTON typographus Regius excudebat ▪ Mense Maij.
