BY
THE
KING
A
Proclamation
prohibiting
the
payment
and
receipt
of
Customes
,
and
other
Maritime
Duties
upon
the
late
pretended
ORDINANCE
of
both
Houses
of
PARLIAMENT
.
WEE
have
made
so
many
Declarations
of
Our
Royall
Intentions
concerning
the
preserving
of
the
Religion
and
Lawes
of
this
Land
,
That
Wee
thinke
it
not
fit
oft
to
repeate
,
Though
by
Gods
grace
We
seriously
intend
never
to
decline
or
depart
from
the
same
.
But
this
seemes
most
strange
unto
Vs
,
that
whil'st
(
especially
at
,
and
about
LONDON
)
Our
just
and
Legall
Commands
are
not
obeyed
,
other
Orders
and
Ordinances
,
(
for
which
there
is
no
Legall
foundation
)
which
not
onely
discountenance
but
overthrow
the
Lawes
of
the
Land
that
settle
Religion
,
and
were
the
sences
of
the
Subjects
property
,
are
submitted
unto
and
obeyed
by
many
of
Our
weaker
Subjects
:
And
amongst
these
a
blind
obedience
hath
been
yeelded
unto
the
pretended
Ordinance
,
for
setling
Customes
without
an
act
;
of
Parliament
,
when
an
Act
this
Parliament
(
received
from
Vs
,
and
so
understood
by
Vs
,
as
one
of
the
greatest
graces
the
Crowne
ever
conferred
on
the
Subject
)
declares
,
no
Custome
is
due
without
an
Act
;
and
all
such
persones
as
receive
the
same
incurr
the
forfeiture
of
a
premunire
.
This
We
thought
would
not
have
found
obedince
from
the
Merchant
,
who
understood
what
his
owne
benefit
was
thereby
and
could
not
be
ignorant
how
penall
it
was
in
him
to
breake
this
Law
;
especially
when
he
found
he
paid
his
Custome
for
support
of
an
unnaturall
Warr
against
his
Prince
,
and
to
foment
an
intestine
and
Civill
dissention
which
hath
already
,
and
may
in
the
future
produce
so
many
Evills
upon
this
poore
People
.
But
upon
the
menaces
and
usage
some
received
that
denyed
it
,
We
find
since
a
more
generall
Obedience
in
such
as
Trade
,
then
We
expected
,
though
We
understand
by
it
the
Trade
of
the
Kingdom
is
much
lessened
.
Neverthelesse
We
thought
not
fit
untill
this
present
,
by
any
of
Our
Proclamations
to
prohibite
the
same
,
because
We
hoped
before
this
time
;
We
having
so
often
and
by
so
many
meanes
endeavoured
the
same
,
some
happy
understanding
might
have
beene
between
Vs
,
and
both
our
Houses
of
Parliament
.
But
at
present
finding
that
the
monyes
arising
from
these
Duties
,
are
a
great
part
of
the
fewell
that
maintaines
this
fire
,
and
supports
this
unnaturall
Rebellion
against
Vs
,
and
heightens
the
Spirits
of
such
as
have
no
Spirit
to
Peace
,
unlesse
they
may
destroy
Vs
Our
Posterity
,
and
the
setled
government
both
of
Church
aod
State
;
We
doe
hereby
Declare
to
all
Our
People
of
what
sort
soever
,
That
whosoever
henceforward
shall
,
by
vertue
of
the
pretended
Ordinance
of
Parliament
,
pay
any
Monyes
for
Custome
or
other
Dutyes
therein
mentioned
,
other
then
to
Our
proper
Ministers
,
what
is
due
to
Us
by
the
knowne
Laws
of
the
Kingdome
,
That
We
will
proceed
against
him
or
them
in
due
time
,
as
an
ill-affected
person
or
persons
to
the
Peace
of
this
Kingdome
,
and
as
such
as
endeavour
(
as
much
as
in
them
lyes
)
to
hinder
a
true
Intelligence
betwixt
Vs
and
Our
People
.
And
for
such
person
or
persons
as
shall
continue
to
require
or
receive
the
same
contrary
to
the
Statute
made
this
Parliament
,
We
shall
likewise
proceed
against
them
according
to
the
penalty
in
the
said
Act
,
And
because
(
though
the
Law
ought
to
have
been
every
mans
prohibition
)
We
did
not
,
untill
this
time
,
forbid
the
same
,
We
doe
hereby
grant
our
free
pardon
to
all
such
as
formerly
having
either
paid
,
or
received
these
customes
,
shall
henceforth
refuse
the
same
,
And
to
no
other
.
Given
under
Our
Signe
Manuall
at
Our
Court
at
Oxford
,
the
sixteenth
day
of
December
,
in
the
Eighteenth
yeare
of
Our
Reigne
.
GOD
SAVE
