By the King . A PROCLAMATION Commanding all Masters and Owners of Ships to stay for their Convoy before they put to Sea . CHARLES R.

WHereas His Majesty out of His Printely Care and Compassion of all His Subjects Trading by Sea , hath for their better Protection and Security , Ordained and Appointed several Ships of War , to be unto them as Guards and Convoys through their several Voyages ; and yet nevertheless , some persons neglecting their own safeties , and being desirous to make more then ordinary haste unto the Foreign Markets , do frequently put to Sea , without staying for their appointed Convoys ; and that either singly , or in such small numbers , that they very easily , and very often become a Prey to the Turks and Moors , who by such Advantages are encouraged to hold out , and not to yield to Peace upon reasonable Terms , to the great Damage of the Kingdom in general , and the utter ruine of the particular persons thus needlesly exposing themselves : Therefore for remedy hereof , His Majesty by the Advice of His Privy Council , hath thought fit to Publish this His Royal Proclamation , and doth hereby straā—¸tly Charge and Command all Masters and Owners of Ships , which are or shall be bound for any Voyage , for which any Guard or Convoy is or shall be appointed , That they presume not to depart from the Port , or set out to Sea , without having their appointed Convoy in Company . And as His Majesty will cause all His Officers to be severely Punished , if by their Negligence or Default any of His good Subjects shall be Delayed or Hindred of their Voyages ; So His Majesty doth likewise Declare , That if any of His Subjects shall presume to adventure out to Sea without and before the Appointed Convoy , and shall afterwards be taken Captives , His Majesty will leave them under such their Misfortunes , nor shall any part of the Charitable Contribution for Redemption of Captives be at any time hereafter applied to the Relief of such persons , who shall be found to have Broken and Contemned these His Majesties Royal Commands : And hereof His Majesty Requires all His Subjects whom it may concern , to take notice at their utmost perils .

Given at Our Honour at Hampton Court , the Twenty third day of June , 1681. In the Three and thirtieth Year of Our Reign . God save the King .
