By the King . A PROCLAMATION For the Free Exportation of Woollen Manufactures until the 25th day of December next . CHARLES R.

THe Kings most Excellent Majesty , taking into His Princely consideration , the deadness of Trade in Cloath , and other Woollen Manufactures of this Kingdom , by reason of the present War , and late dreadful Contagion , and that great quantities of Woollen Clothes do at present lie upon the hands of many poor Clothiers ; His Majesty therefore out of His Clemency and tender Compassion to the necessities of His 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 and every person and persons whatsoever , as well Natives and Denizens , as Strangers and Foreiners , from the day of the Date hereof , 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 , according to former use and practice .

Given at Our Court at Whitehall the 15th day of April , 1666. in the 18th year of Our Reign . God save the King .
