A22363	Charles I, King of England, 1600-1649.	By the King a proclamation for setling the plantation of Virginia.	1625.0		.xml	application/xml	2084	65	52	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of that Incorporation , were by his Highnesse direction in a Legall course questioned , and thereupon iudicially repealed , and adiudged to bee voyde ; wherein his Maiesties ayme was onely , to reduce that gouernment into such a right course , as might best agree with that forme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 .	cache/A22363.xml	txt/A22363.txt
