Proclamation on Quarantine for Ships From France and Mediterranean
The Lords Justices issue a new quarantine order at Whitehall dated August 25 in the seventh year of the king's reign. It requires ships from the Mediterranean, Bordeaux, or French Atlantic ports, lying in the Bay of Biscay or nearby isles, to perform quarantine to prevent plague infection. The measure references prior orders and aims to safeguard subjects from goods and crews deemed infection risks.
