BY THE KING . A Proclamation prohibiting the buying or disposing of any the lading of the Ship called the SANCTA CLARA , lately brought into South-Hampton .

COMPLAINT having been made unto His Majesty , by Don Alonco de Cardenas Ambassador from the King of Spaine , that a Ship called the Sancta Clara belonging to the said King and His Subjects , hath been lately treacherously brought to South-Hampton , by one Captain Bennet Strafford and others , from Sancto Domingo , the said Ship being laden with Silver , Cocheneale , and other Wares and Merchandizes to a very great value ; And that the said Ship and Goods , being by the said Ambassador arrested , and the said Bennet Strafford apprehended , whil'st a suite for the said Ship and Goods is depending in the Court of Admiralty , the silver ( part of the lading of the said ship to a very great value ) hath been disposed of contrary to Law , without any other security given for the same , then the empty Name of publike Faith , which without His Majesty cannot ( as is well knowne to all the world ) be engaged , or if engaged without His Majesty , is not valid , or to be relyed on for satisfaction . And it is further complained by the said Ambassador , That the Cocheneale , and other Merchandizes formerly sequestred at London and South-Hampton , albeit they are not perishable , but have rather encreased in their Price and Value , are likely to be sold against the Will of those who pretend to be the Owners , ( Parties to the suite depending in the said Court of Admiralty ) which is alleadged to be apparently against the Rules of Law , and practices of that Court in such Cases . His Majesty well weighing what may be the ill Consequences of such injurious Proceedings , manifestly contrary to the Law , and the Articles of Treaty between the two Crownes , and plainly foreseeing how heavily it may light upon such of His good Subjects , who have Estates in Spaine , and how destructive it may prove to the Trade and Commerce of His Subjects and Kingdomes , doth hereby not only expresly Charge and Command the Judge of his Admiralty , and all others whom it may concerne , to proceed in a Businesse of such Value and consequence , with Care , Expedition , and according to Iustice ; But doth also expresly prohibite all persons , of what condition soever , upon pretence of any Order or Warrant from one or both Houses of Parliament , or any Authority derived from thence , to buy , meddle with , or dispose of any part of the said Cocheneale , or other Goods or Merchandizes belonging to the said Ship , untill the propriety thereof shall be judicially decided and determined , Upon paine of His Majesties high Displeasure , and of being responsible and lyable to payment and satisfaction for whatsoever damage shall happen to any of His Majesties Subjects , whose Goods or Estates shall for that Cause be embargued or seized in Spaine .

Given at the Court at Oxford , the second day of Ianuary , in the Eighteenth yeare of His Majesties Reigne . God save the King .
