<P>_THe Queenes mo&s;t excellent Maie&s;tie, vnder&s;tanding that the infection of the plague in the cities of London and We&s;t|min&s;ter doth yet continue, &s;o as with &s;afetie the next Michaelmas Terme cannot be kept as was accu&s;tomed in the ci|tie of We&s;tmin&s;ter: and therefore doubting that if the &s;aid Terme of S. Michael now next comming &s;hould be kept at the &s;aid citie of We&s;tmin&s;ter, it can not be but dangerous to &s;uch her louing &s;ubiects, which for their lawfull cau&s;es &s;hould make their nece&s;&s;ary repaire to the &s;aid cities: Therefore her Maie&s;tie con&s;idering the great inconueniences that may thereof en&s;ue, by the aduice of her Highne&s;&s;e Cou~cell doth finde it very expedient that adiournment &s;hould be made of the &s;aid Terme, in forme following, That is to &s;ay, in or from the fir&s;t Returne thereof, commonly called <HI>Octabis Mi|chaelis,</HI> vnto the Returne, commonly called <HI>Men&s;e Michaelis,</HI> then next en&s;uing, when the re&s;t of the &s;aid Terme &s;hall be continued and kept in maner and forme hereafter &s;pecified. For which purpo&s;e, e&s;peciall choi&s;e is made of the Towne of <GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="in gutter" EXTENT="1 letter">&punc; Albans in the countie of Hartford: at which place her Highne&s;&s;e plea&s;ure is, that the re&s;idue of the &s;aid Terme &s;hall be kept as hereafter is ex|ce&s;&s;ed: and therefore doth declare, and hereby &s;ignifie her will and plea&s;ure, that writs of adiournment &s;hall be directed to the Iu&s;tices of either Benches, &amp; to the Iudges of all other her Maie&s;ties courts, to who~ like writs haue bene v&s;ually directed, giuing them authoritie to adiourne the <GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="in gutter" EXTENT="2+ letters">e Terme from We&s;tmin&s;ter afore&s;aid, vnto the &s;aid towne of S.
