❧ By the King . A Proclamation for the well manning and arming of the Ships , of , or belonging to this Realme , vpon their setting foorth to Sea .

HIs Maiestie , in His Princely Wisdome , wel weighing what a great incouragement it is , both to his enemies , & the enemies of this State , and vnto Pyrats and Robbers the common Enemies of all Nations , and what an apparant danger it will be to His owne Subiects , if they shall aduenture to set to Sea in these perillous times , being weakely manned , and ill furnished with Armes , to resist and repell such as shall assayle them ; in His prouidence and care for the common safetie of His people ; Doeth heereby straitly charge and command , That none of His Highnesse Subiects , doe at any time hereafter , presume to put to Sea any Ship or Pinnace , of the burthen of Threescore Tunnes or vpwards , out of any Port of Creeke , of or belonging to this Realme of England , vnlesse they furnish the same with seruiceable Muskets and Bandeliers , sufficient for the arming at once , of halfe the number of all the Persons or Company , of , and in those Ships : And that they be also prouided aboard euery such Ship , of a sufficient quantitie of Match , and Powder , and Bullets for those Shott , according to the length of their Voyage intended to bee made by them . And His Maiestie doeth further straitly charge and command , That all such as shall haue the command , of , and in euery such Ship or Pinnace , doe cause their Company whilest they are aboard , to exercise themselues with the said Muskets , vpon such dayes , and at such times , as shall bee fit and seasonable for the same ; that so by practise they may learne the perfect vse of their Armes . And this to be duely and carefully obserued , vpon paine of His Maiesties high displeasure , and such other penalties and punishments as can or may bee inflicted vpon such as shall presume to contemne His Maiesties Royall Command , intended for the safetie of His people .

Giuen at His Maiesties Honour of Hampton Court , this 24. of December , 1625. God saue the King .
