WE
Your

most
Loyal
and
Dutiful
Subjects
,
the
Lords
Spiritual

,
having
taken
into

the
great
Interruption
that
hath
happened
to
the
Trade
of
this
Nation
,
during
the
late
Long
and
Expensive
War
,
whereby
the
Manufactures
of
this
Kingdom
have
greatly
Suffered
for
want
of
the
usual
Exportation
of
the
same
;
Do
most
humbly
Beseech
Your
Majesty
,
for
the
future
Encouragement
of
the
Growth
of
the
Commodities
of
this
Kingdom
,
and
the
Manufactures
thereof
,
That
You
would
be
Graciously
Pleased
,
by
Your
Own
Royal
Example
,
Effectually
to
Encourage
the
Use
and
Wearing
of
all
Sorts
of
Furniture
,
or
Wearing
Clothes
that
are
of
the
Growth
of
this
Kingdom
,
or
Manufactured
here
,
and
to
Discountenance
all
Persons
whatsoever
,
who
shall
Wear
or
Use
any
Manufactures
of
Foreign
Countries
,
as
a
Matter
of
great
Consequence
to
the
Good
of
this
Kingdom
,
and
absolutely
Necessary
to
the
Support
and
Livelihood
of
great
Numbers
of
Your
Majesties
Industrious
and
Loyal
Subjects
.
