WHEREAS the Cloth , and other Wollen-Manufactures of this Kingdome , is a great and beneficiall Trade , and those Commodities have formerly been brought up , from the severall parts of this Kingdome , to Our City of London , as the great Staple of that Trade , and been from thence Vented unto severall parts beyond the Seas , by the Company of Merchants-Adventurers , and others : which course cannot now be continued , in respect the said City , and most of the Merchants , residing therein , are in Rebellion against Us : which occasioned Us to prohibite all Trade thereunto . We have therefore thought fit , in contemplation of the advantage this Trade brings unto Our Kingdome in generall , in Vending the Woolls , and imploying so many of Our poor Subjects in the Manufactury thereof , especially in Our Westerne parts , ( whose fidelity and obedience to Us , daily invites Us to afford them all favour and advantage ) hereby to publish and declare , That Our Pleasure is , That from the severall Cities , Townes , and places of this Kingdome , now in obedience to Us , and not under the power and oppression of the Rebells , it shall be lawfull for any Our Loyall Subjects to carry all kind of Cloth , and other Wollen-Manufacturies whatsoever , to any Port or Ports , which either now are , or shall be in Our obedience , and possession ; And from thence ( paying the Customes , and other payments to Us , and likewise such other payments , as have been usually answered and paid for Licences of white Clothes ) to Ship and Transport the same to any forraigne place in Amity with Us. Which Licence We hereby likewise give to all Merchants , Strangers , and their Factors , they only paying to Us Strangers-Customes , and payments , and such other payments , as have been usually answered , and paid for Licences of white Clothes . And to this purpose , We Command all Our Admiralls , Vice-Admiralls , Captaines of Ships , Captaines of Forts , Customers , Comptrollers , Searchers , and all other Our Officers , Ministers , and loving Subjects , to give way to the exportation of the same , and that they give the Merchants neither in their shipping , nor when they are at Sea , any interruption therein : they producing their Cockets , that they ship't forth their Lading from a Port under Our obedience , and in Our possession . And likewise We Command all Generalls , Colonells , Captaines of Horse , and Foot , and other Our Officers of Our Army , That in their conveying the said Commodities from any inward part of the Country , to any Port as aforesaid , they give no interruption to any Our Loyall Subjects , or Forraigners , Trading as aforesaid .
