</FIGURE> BY THE KING. &para; <HI>A Proclamation concerning the Brewing of</HI> Beere <HI>and</HI> Ale <HI>within the Quarters of the Kings Army.</HI></HEAD>
<P>_WHEREAS His Maje&s;tie hath been informed that in former times the Beere Brewed, and &s;old in the City of <HI>Oxford</HI> by the common Brewers, was u&s;ually of three &s;orts, the lowe&s;t at foure &s;hillings foure pence the Barrell, the &s;econd at &s;even &s;hillings the Barrell, and the highe&s;t at ten &s;hillings the Barrell, and &s;ometimes at greater rates, and &s;o after tho&s;e propor|tions for greater or le&s;&s;er quantity; and Ale at rates altogether uncertain. Fora&s;much as it is more agreeable with the &s;ea&s;on of the yeare, a&s;well as the pre&s;ent &s;tate of the times, that &s;trong Beere and Ale be forborne, for the &s;aving of unnece&s;&s;ary expences, and for the health of tho&s;e who &s;hall &s;pend the &s;ame: His Maje&s;tie doth therefore charge and command all Beere-Brewers, and Ale-Brewers, and all others who brew either Beere or Ale to &s;ell a|gain, to brew no Beere or Ale above the rate of &s;even &s;hillings the Barrell, and &s;o after that rate for a greater, or le&s;&s;er quantity; and the &s;maller Beere or Ale at foure &s;hillings foure-pence the Barrell, and &s;o after the &s;ame rate for a greater or le&s;&s;er quantity. And that there may be no want of Beere or Ale for the u&s;e of tho&s;e who live within the Quarters of the &s;aid Army, or re&s;ort thither, His Maje&s;tie doth further give leave to all Per&s;ons, who will, to brew and &s;ell Beere or Ale when, and as often as they will without re&s;traint, they making their Beere, and Ale good and whole&s;ome, and &s;elling the &s;ame at the rates, and for the prices afore&s;aid. And this His Maje&s;tie commandeth to be duely ob&s;erved at the perill of tho&s;e who &s;hall pre&s;ume to offend herein. And whereas &s;ome complaint hath been, that the common Streames in and about this City, wherewith the Brewers are &s;erved with Water, are much more annoyed of late then formerly by the ca&s;ting of Du~ng, and other filth thereinto, to the endangering the health of this City, His Maje&s;ty doth &s;trictly charge, and Command, that all &s;uch abu&s;es either wilfully or negligently com|mitted, be from henceforth forborne. And that they may not e&s;cape unpuni&s;hed, His Maje&s;ty doth require, and command <HI>George Thorp</HI> the Water-Bayliffe of the River, and <HI>Iohn Taylor,</HI> joyntly, and &s;everally, to take &s;peciall care for the giving of true Information to His Maje&s;ties Commi&s;&s;ioners appoynted for the care of his Army, and of this City, of all abu&s;es tending to the annoyance of the River or Water in or about this City, and by whom they are committed, or by who&s;e default, that due puni&s;hment may be inflicted upon all &s;uch offenders. And His Maje&s;ty doth hereby further &s;traitly charge and command all tho&s;e that doe, and &s;hall &s;ell Ale or Beere, within a|ny the Quarters of His Maje&s;ties Army that they, and every of them, &s;ell a full Ale quart of Beer or Ale of the &s;trong &s;ort thereof unto every Souldier in His Maje&s;ties Army for a peny, and not above that rate, and of the &s;mal|ler &s;ort of Beere and Ale, a Pottle for a peny. And the offenders herein mu&s;t take knowledge, that they &s;hall receive &s;uch puni&s;hment, as &s;hall be fit to be laid upon &s;uch offences, as would be the cau&s;es of &s;o great hurt, and di&s;order in the Army. And His Maje&s;ty doth hereby require, and command all Commanders, and Officers in His Army that they, and every of them, imploy their be&s;t indeavours, that His Maje&s;ties plea&s;ure herein before &s;ignified, for &s;o much as concerns His Souldiers, be duly executed, and ob&s;erved. <HI>Given at His Maie&s;ties Court at</HI> Oxford <HI>the</HI> Twelfth <HI>day of</HI> June, <HI>in the Nineteenth yeare of His Maje&s;ties Raigne.</HI></P>
