B06632	England and Wales. Sovereign (1689-1694 : William and Mary)	Their Majesties declaration against the French King	1689.0		.xml	application/xml	1959	63	54	It is not long since the French took Licences from the English Governor of New Found-Land , to Fish in the Seas upon that Coast , and paid a Tribute for such Licences , as an acknowledgment of the sole Right of the Crown of England to that Island ; And yet of late , the Encroachments of the French upon Our said Island , and Our Subjects Trade and Fishery have been more like the Invasions of an Enemy , than becoming Friends , who enjoyed the Advantages of that Trade only by Permission . The Proceedings of the French King against Our Subjects in Europe , are so Notorious , that We shall not need to enlarge upon them ; his countenancing the Seizure of English Ships by French Privateers , forbidding the Importation of great part of the Product and Manufactures of Our Kingdom , and imposing exorbitant Customes upon the rest , notwithstanding the vast Advantage he and the French Nation reap by their Commerce with England , are sufficient Evidences of his Designs to destroy the Trade , and consequently to ru●ne the Navigation , upon which the Wealth and Safety of this Nation very much depends .	cache/B06632.xml	txt/B06632.txt
