A Publication , or a Declaration of the Lords of the Councells Order for the Needle-makers in his Maiesties Dominions . At Whitehall the XX. of Ianuary . Anno. 1623. Presents , Lord Keeper , &c. Lord President . Lord Marquis Hamilton . Earle Marshall . Lord Chamberlaine . Lord Viscount Grandison . Lord Carew . Lord Chichester . Master Treasurer . Master Secretarie Caluert . The Master of the Rolles .

FOrasmuch as certificate hath bin made vnto the Boarde , subscribed by the Lord Maior of the Littie of London and the Aldermen his Brethren , whereby it appeareth that an Engine hath lately been set vp for the making of Needles , which hath proued very dangerous to be wrought with all , for the spoyling and maming of the kings liege Subiects , and that the vse thereof is very dangerous , and hath depriued great numbers of poore people of their meanes and liuelyhood in these late times of scarcitie , who formerly could get their liuing by the Art of Needle-making : and lastly , that those who worke with the said Engine , doe employ much bad stuffe , to the defrauding of all such as buy the Needles made therewith .

In regard whereof , the Lord Maior and Aldermen hauing vsed all meanes to cause the parties working with the said Engine and bad stuffe , to appeare before them to answer these seueral points : they notwithstanding withdraw themselues into vnknowne places , or else vteerly refuse to make answer to what may be obiected against them .

Their Lordships vpon due consideration of the premises haue thought fit , and accordingly ordered that the said Engine , with such deceitfull Needles , shall from benceforth be vtterly suppressed , not onely in the Littie of London , but in all his Maiesties Dominions , in whose hands soeuer they be found , to be seized and defaced , if no cause be shewed to the contrary by Wednesday next , which will be the twenty eight of this present January . Ind what is thought meete , and ordered by their Lordships that the prices of Needles shall be no greater then they haue beene sold these last twentie yeares , nor the Needles , workmanship , or stuffe , be of no lesse goodnes , but of Steele . And lastly it is ordered , that if notwithstanding the prohibition of the foresaid Engine and bad Needles , if any person shall presume to vse the said Engine or base stuffe , or in any other maner disobay this Order , the partie or parties so offending may be apprehended and carried before the next Justice , in whose hands soeuer they be found , to haue such punishment as their contempt shall be found to descrue .
