PROCLAMATION , Discharging the Importation of BRANDY-VVINE . Edinburgh , the thirteenth day of February , one thousand six hundred and sixty eight . CHARLES , By the Grace of GOD , King of Great Britain , France and Ireland , Defender of the Faith ; To Macers , or Messengers at Arms , conjunctly and severally , specially constitute , Greeting .

Forasmuch , as by the frequent importation of Brandy-wine into this Kingdom , there arises great prejudice to the Heretors , whose Barley and Malt is consumed and imployed upon brewing of Ale and Beer , and making of Aquavitie and other Strong-waters : As likewise , many Families are like to be deprived of their Livelyhoods , who live by the saids Manufacturies : And that by the sixth Act of the third Session of the last Parliament , the importation of all Strong-waters of all kinds and Aquavitie , is altogether discharged , without mentioning Brandy-wine , which for the reasons foresaids , ought likewise to be prohibited : And that by the twenty sixth Act of that Session of Parliament , Our Royal Prerogative in the order and disposal of Trade with Forreign Nations , and the laying of restraints and impositions upon Forreign imported Commodities , is asserted to belong to Us and Our Successors . Therefore , and for the good of that Our ancient Kingdom , We , with advice of the Lords of Our Privy Council , prohibit and discharge the importation of all Brandy-wine into any Port , Haven or Creek of this Our said Kingdom , or the Isles belonging thereto , after the respective times following ; That is to say , That no Merchant or other person whatsoever , by any Order , Instructions , Cockets , Bills of Loadning or otherwayes , give warrand to loaden any Ship that is to go beyond Seas from any Port or Place of this Kingdom , with Brandy-wine , after the publication hereof ; and that immediately they send their Orders and Instructions to their Correspondents and Factors in all places , where they have Ships to be loadned upon their account , that no Brandy-wine be put aboard any of the saids Ships , after the eighth day of March next ; With certification , if they failyie , the whole quantity of Brandy-wine that shall be imported , contrair to this Our prohibition , shall be confiscate to Our use , without any abatement or composition whatsoever . And Ordains these presents to be printed , and published at the Mercat-cross of Edinburgh , Peer and Shoar of Lieth , and other places needful , that none pretend ignorance .
