AN
ORDINANCE
OF
BOTH
HOVSES
OF
PARLIAMENT
,
For
the
suppressing
of
Publike
Stage-Playes
throughout
the
Kingdome
,
during
these
Calamitous
Times
.
WHereas
the
distressed
Estate
of
Ireland
,
steeped
in
her
own
Blood
,
and
the
distracted
Estate
of
England
,
threatned
with
a
Cloud
of
Blood
,
by
a
Civill
Warre
;
call
for
all
possible
meanes
to
appease
and
avert
the
Wrath
of
God
appearing
in
these
Iudgements
:
Amongst
which
,
Fasting
and
Prayer
having
bin
often
tryed
to
be
very
effectuall
,
have
bin
lately
,
and
are
still
enjoyned
:
And
whereas
publike
Sports
doe
not
well
agree
with
publike
Calamities
,
nor
publike
Stage-Playes
with
the
Seasons
of
Humiliation
,
this
being
an
Exercise
of
sad
and
pious
Solemnity
,
and
the
other
being
Spectacles
of
Pleasure
,
too
commonly
expressing
lacivious
Mirth
and
levitie
:
It
is
therfore
thought
fit
,
and
Ordeined
by
the
Lords
and
Commons
in
this
Parliament
Assembled
,
that
while
these
sad
Causes
and
set
times
of
Humiliation
doe
continue
,
publike
Stage-playes
shall
cease
,
and
bee
forborne
.
Instead
of
which
,
are
recommended
to
the
people
of
this
Land
,
the
profitable
and
seasonable
Considerations
of
Repentance
,
Reconciliation
,
and
peace
with
God
,
which
probably
may
produce
outward
peace
and
prosperity
,
and
bring
againe
Times
of
Joy
and
Gladnesse
to
these
Nations
.
