     summary: Transcribed from: (Early English Books Online ; image set 28545) WHereas the Colonie of Virginia , Planted by the hands of Our most deare Father of blessed memory , for the propagation of Christian Religion the increase of Trade , and the enlarging of his Royall Empire , hath not hitherto prospered so happily , as was hoped and desired , A great occasion whereof his late Maiesty conceiued to be , for that the gouernment of that Colony was committed to the Company of Virginia , encorporated of a multitude of persons of seuerall dispositions , amongst whom the affaires of greatest moment were , and must be ruled by the greater number of Uotes and Uoyces ; And therefore his late Maiestie , out of His great Wisedome , and depth of Iudgement , did desire to resume that popular gouernment , and accordingly the Letters Patents of that Incorporation , were by his Highnesse direction in a Legall course questioned , and thereupon iudicially repealed , and adiudged to bee voyde ; wherein his Maiesties ayme was onely , to reduce that gouernment into such a right course , as might best agree with that forme which was held in the rest of his Royall Monarchy , and was not intended by him , to take away , or impeach the particular Interest of any priuate Plantor , or Aduenturer , nor to alter the same , otherwise then should be of necessity for the good of the publique : And wheras We continue the like care of those Colonies and Plantations , as Our late deare Father did , and vpon deliberate aduice and consideration , are of the same Iudgement that Our said Father was of , for the gouernment of that Colony of Virginia ; Now lest the apprehension of former personall differences , which haue heretofore happened ( the reuiuing and continuing whereof Wee vtterly disallow , and strictly forbid ) might distract the mindes of the Plantors and Aduenturers , or the opinion , that We would neglect those Plantations , might discourage men to goe or send thither , & so hinder the perfecting of that worke , wherin We hold the honor of Our deare Father deceased , and Our owne honour to be deeply engaged ; We haue thought fit to declare , and by Our Royal Proclamation to publish Our owne Iudgement , and resolution in these things , which by Gods assistance Wee purpose constantly to pursue .

     summary: And it is now come to passe , That those Our Forreigne Plantations , that might become vsefull to this Kingdome , lingering onely vpon Tobacco , are in apparant danger to be vtterly ruined , vnlesse Wee speedily prouide for their subsistence ; The bodies and manners of Our people are also in danger to bee corrupted , and the wealth of this Kingdome exhausted by so vselesse a Weede as Tobacco is ; which beeing represented vnto Us by the humble Petition of Our louing Subiects the Planters and Aduenturers in Virginia , and also by the like humble Petition of the Retailers and Sellers of Tobacco in and about Our Cities of London and Westminster , Wee haue thought it worthy of Our Princely care , as a matter not only fit for Our profit , & the profit of Our people , but much concerning Us in Our honour and gouernment so to regulate the same , and compell due obedience thereto , that Our Forreigne Plantations and Colonies may bee supported and encouraged , and they made vsefull to this Kingdome , by applying themselues to more solide commodities , that the healths of Our Subiects may be preserued , the wealth of this Kingdome enlarged , and the manners of Our people so ordered and gouerned , that the world may not iustly taxe Us , that these are at once endangered only by the licentious vse of Tobacco . And therfore hauing seriously aduised hereof , Wee , by the aduice of Our Priuie Councell , haue now resolued vpon , and published these Our Commands following concerning Tobacco , which Our Royall will and pleasure is , shall be in all things obserued vpon paine of Our highest displeasure , and of such paines , penalties and punishments , as by Our Court of Exchequer , and Court of Starre-Chamber , and by any other Courts and ministers of Iustice , or by Our Prerogatiue Royall can be inflicted vpon the offendors .

     summary: yet he may make an Alien a Denizen , and by that means he becomes to have as much priviledg as any of the King 's natural Subjects hath , as to Trade and Commerce , which is the onely question now before us ; and I cannot help being of Opinion , that this Kingdom was in greater regard abroad , and the Inhabitants thereof more prosperous at home , when the Prerogative of the Crown was more absolute than now it is ; therefore it is our Duty as good Judges as well as good Subjects , to endeavour to support it as much as we can by Law. If the King proclaims a War with any Country , which is a general Prohibition of Trade , and should order , that John a Styles , or a dozen or any greater number of his Subjects , &c. and give them Instructions to treat for a Peace , and the Persons so appointed should carry on a Trade , would not Mr. Sands , do you think , have as much reason to murmur , that he was none of those Ambassadors , as he has now by being not comprized within the Charters ? And would it not be thought an Arrogancy and Sauciness in him to demand an account of the Instruction given by the King to such Ambassadors ? or durst he Trade there till a Peace were proclaimed with that Country ? And the gloss upon that Law says Mercatores non faciant inter Monopolium de re non vendenda nisi pro certo pretio , vel de non exercendo officium nisi per eos recipiatur Officiales & Socios : Possunt tamen haec facere cum consensu & scientia Regis & contra facientes perpetuo exulabunt , & eorum bona Regi applicantur . Ex Privilegio ergo Regis possunt similiter & Consuetudine vel praescriptione , quia quod Privilegio acquiritur , etiam praescriptione acquiri potest .
