<P>Wee therefore, out of Our Princely care hereof, as of a matter concerning Our owne ho|nour, and the publique good of Our Subiects, haue thought fit, (by, and with the aduice of Our Priuie Coun&s;ell) by this Our Proclamation, &s;traitly to charge and command, that no per&s;on or per&s;ons, of what e&s;tate, degree, or condition &s;oeuer hee be, doe pre&s;ume from hence|foorth to bring into any Our Dominions for &s;ale, or vent, or put to &s;ale, vpon any pretence what&s;oeuer, any Latine Authours, Booke or Bookes, printed in any the parts beyond the Seas, which haue been, or &s;hall be formerly and originally printed in either of Our &s;ayd Vniuer&s;ities of <HI>Oxford</HI> or <HI>Cambridge,</HI> vpon paine of Our high indignation and di&s;plea&s;ure, and confi&s;cation of the Bookes &s;o brought ouer, or offered to be put to &s;ale, and of &s;uch fur|ther penalties and puni&s;hments, as the contempt of this Our Royall commandement &s;hal be found to demerit: And that no per&s;on or per&s;ons; vnder the like paines and penalties, doe pre&s;ume to buy any &s;uch Booke or Bookes &s;o reprinted in the parts beyond the Seas, &s;o long as the &s;aid Booke or Bookes of the Print of either of Our &s;aid Vniuer&s;ities &s;hall bee of ordinary &s;ale. And to the end it may appeare what reprinted Bookes Wee intend by this Our Proclamation to prohibite the buying or &s;ale of; Wee doe hereby require and command the Printers of both Our &s;aid Vniuer&s;ities, within one moneth next comming to cau&s;e Cer|tificate to be made vnder the hands of the Vice-Chancellors of Our &s;aid Vniuer&s;ities re&s;pec|tiuely, and deliuered to the Ma&s;ter and Wardens of the Company of Stationers <HI>London,</HI> for the time being, of all &s;uch Bookes originally printed at either of Our &s;ayd Vniuer&s;ities al|ready extant, and in ordinary &s;ale; And to cau&s;e like monethly Certificate to be made of all &s;uch other Bookes, as &s;hall be hereafter from time to time originally printed there.</P>
