<P>Whereas upon occa&s;ion of the un&s;etled condition of the <HI>SCOTS</HI> Staple in the <HI>Low-countreys</HI>; The Merchants of this Our ancient Kingdom of <HI>Scotland</HI> have for diver&s;e years pa&s;t, &s;uffered great prejudice, intheir Trade and Comerce to tho&s;e Provinces. And be|ing graciou&s;ly inclined to countenance all fair and ju&s;t means, for &s;etling of the &s;aid Staple: We therefore gave full power and commi&s;&s;ios to Our Re&s;i|dent and Con&s;ervator of the priviledges granted to Our Subjects of <HI>Scot|land</HI> in the <HI>Low-countreys</HI>; to treat with any Town or place mo&s;t conve|nient and advantagions for the Merchants and Trade of this Our King|dom: So the Articles agreed by him with the Commi&s;&s;oners of the prince of <HI>Orange,</HI> and Deputies of the town of <HI>Campvere,</HI> for the re-&s;et|ling of the <HI>Scots</HI> Staple-court within the &s;aid town, are approven by Us: Whereupon the &s;aid Staple court is removed from <HI>Dort</HI> to the town of <HI>Campvere.</HI> And to the end this Our Royal plea&s;ure, may be made known to all Our loving Subjects of this Our Ancient Kingdom, We with ad|vice of the Lords of Our Privy Council, Do Ordain pablick Proclama|tion to be made thereof at the u&s;ual places of this Our Kingdom; that no per&s;on may pretend ignorance, but duely obey Our Royal plea&s;ure herein, as they will an&s;wer at their peril. And further, We, wish advice fore&s;aid, Do declare that the ancient &s;tanding Acts of Parliament made by Our Royal Progenitors, in favour of the Staple-court, and the Con&s;ervator, are in full force and &s;trength. And further, We Ordain the Royal Burroughs in their meetings to make &s;trick Acts, that the Staple may be duely ob&s;erved, which We with advice fore&s;aid, Declare to be binding upon all Our Subjects what&s;oever trading to, or re&s;iding within any town, or place of the united Provinces. And We ordain thir pre&s;ents to be Printed and publi&s;hed at the Market Cro&s;s of <HI>Edinburgh,</HI> and other Royal Burghs and Sea-ports needful, that none may pretend ignorance therof.</P>
