By the King . A PROCLAMATION For the free Exportation of Woollen Manufactures of this Kingdom , from the Twentieth day of May , until the Five and twentieth day of December next . CHARLES R.

WHereas His most Excellent Majesty is informed of much decay in the Trade of Cloth , and other Woollen Manufactures of this Kingdom , and that great quantities of Woollen Clothes do at present lie dead on the hands of many poor Clothiers : His Majesty therefore out of His Princely clemency , and tender compassion to the Necessities of His poor Subjects , doth by the Advice of His Privy Council , and with the free Consent of the Company of Merchant Adventurers of England , hereby give free Liberty and Licence to all His loving Subjects , from the Twentieth day of May instant , until the Five and twentieth day of December next , to transport and carry out of this Kingdom , all Woollen Manufactures whatsoever , to any Port or place beyond the Seas , lying within the Limits and Bounds of the said Merchant Adventurers Patent , except the Mart Towns of Dort and Hamburgh . Yet His Majesty would not hereby be thought to have a light esteem of the services of that Company to Himself , and the Crown in former times ; nor of their usefulness towards the advance and increase of the Trade of this Kingdom ; nor doth His Majesty by this temporary dispensation , intend to lessen the Authority of their Charter , as to the Government of that Society , either at home or abroad . And His Majesty doth hereby require and command , That during the time of this Licence and Dispensation , due Payment be made of all Duties for Licensing the Exportation of white Clothes to the said Company , being Lessees to His Majesties Farmers thereof .

Given at Our Court at Whitehal , the Fourteenth day of May , 1662. In the Fourteenth year of Our Reign . God save the King .
