<P><HI>_IAMES by the Grace of God, King of</HI> England, Scotland, France and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, &amp;c. To all to whome the&s;e pre&s;ents &s;hall come, Greeting. Where|as wee haue alwayes helde it one of the mo&s;t iu&s;t and nece&s;&s;arie cares and con&s;iderations incident to the State and Office of Kings and Soueraigne Princes, &s;o to di&s;po&s;e of their people and Gouern|ment, as the knowledge and v&s;e of good and profitable arts and in|uentions may become common and frequent among&s;t their people, the &s;ame being one of the greate&s;t meanes to increa&s;e and pre&s;erue the wealth and &s;trength of State and people, Con|&s;idering how contrary effects labour and idlene&s;&s;e doe produce, the one making Kingdomes great and flouri&s;hing, the other alwayes bearing the markes of beggerie and contempt: For&s;omuch as &s;ome of our good and louing Subiects of our Realme of England, haue of late to their great charge, &amp; no le&s;&s;e commendation, found out and made proofe of &s;undry <HI>Mines</HI> in our Countie of Yorke, for the making of <HI>Allome,</HI> a Merchandize of great nece&s;&s;itie and v&s;e &s;undry wayes for all our Dominions, and haue &s;o well and commendably proceeded therein, that they are at this time able to make &s;ufficient &s;tore of <HI>Allome,</HI> not onely to &s;erue for the v&s;e and expen&s;e of all our &s;aid Kingdomes, but al&s;o within &s;hort &s;pace to afford and &s;pare great quantities thereof, to bee euery yeere tran&s;ported for the v&s;e and &s;eruice of other our neigh|bour Kingdomes and Nations: And whereas the &s;aid per&s;ons, who by their &s;kill and in|du&s;trie haue effected &s;o good and great a worke, (&s;o often failing vpon other attempts) haue willingly and freely offered and yeelded vp the &s;ayd <HI>Allome Mines</HI> into our handes, vpon &s;uch Conditions as haue giuen them full contentment and &s;ati&s;faction, all men being able to iudge that a matter of that con&s;equence, and wherein &s;o many of our people &s;hould bee intere&s;&s;ed, was more fit for vs to take into our owne hands, then to leaue the &s;ame in the power of priuate men: Wee haue now thought fit for the &s;aid con&s;iderations, and many other, to giue order to our Trea&s;ourer of England, and our Chancellour of our Exchequer, to take the whole worke into our po&s;&s;e&s;&s;ion, and for that purpo&s;e haue made choi&s;e of two of the &s;ame per&s;ons, that managed the &s;ame workes before (being both of tru&s;t, &s;kill and experience) to deale for vs, as our generall and &s;peciall Factors and Agents, for the whole ordering of the &s;aid workes in time to come. And albeit that by meanes of the <HI>Allome</HI> made and to bee made within our &s;aid Realme, we &s;hal receiue great hinderance by being depriued of &s;uch Cu&s;tomes and other Duties, as formerly haue bene v&s;ually payd vnto Vs and our Predece&s;&s;ours Kings and Princes of this our Realme, for and vpon that Commoditie imported: Yet to the intent our Subiects &s;hall not bee any way wronged, but in all poynts carefully re&s;pected and duely prouided for in that Commoditie, Wee haue (out of our royall and tender care of our Subiects good) giuen expre&s;&s;e order and commandement, that our &s;aid Agents &s;hall prouide and cau&s;e to be prouided, and at all times, and from time to time hereafter haue in their cu&s;todie, in &s;ome
<PB REF="2">fit and conuenient Store-hou&s;es, both within the Citie of London, and within euery other Citie and port Towne of the &s;ame our Realme of England, as &s;halbe thought fit and appoin|ted, &s;ufficient quantities of <HI>Allome,</HI> and that from the &s;ayd Store-hou&s;es, all and euery our peo|ple and Subiects &s;hall and may from time to time, buy and haue thereof by le&s;&s;er or greater quantities at their plea&s;ures, &s;o much good and &s;eruiceable <HI>Allome,</HI> as they or any of them &s;hall at any time require, and at &s;uch rate and price to be indifferently appoynted to be payd for and vpon euery hundred weight of <HI>Allome</HI> &s;o to be &s;old and deliuered as afore&s;aid, as &s;hall not giue any iu&s;t cau&s;e of di&s;content to any of our louing Subiects.</P>
<P>The&s;e are therefore to require and command, all and &s;inguler per&s;on and per&s;ons what&s;o|euer, a&s;well our naturall borne Subiects, as Denizens or Strangers, That none of them, nor any other per&s;on or per&s;ons what&s;oeuer, Doe at any time or times hereafter attempt or pre|&s;ume to bring or cau&s;e to bee brought into the&s;e our Realmes of England, Scotland or Ire|land, or any other our Dominions, or any the Ports, Hauens, Creeks, or places of any of them, any <HI>Allome</HI> in greater or le&s;&s;er quantities, made or to be made in any forreigne part or place what&s;oeuer, vpon paine of forfeiture of all and euery quantitie and quantities of <HI>Allome</HI> &s;o brought or cau&s;ed to be brought into our &s;aid Dominions, co~trary to this our pre&s;ent comman|dement: The one moytie therof to be to Vs, our Heires &amp; Succe&s;&s;ors, and the other moytie to &s;uch per&s;on or per&s;ons as &s;hall make &s;eizure of the &s;ame: and al&s;o vpon paine of our high indig|nation and di&s;plea&s;ure, and of &s;uch further paines, penalties and puni&s;hments, as for the con|tempt of our commandement Royall in this behalfe may any way be inflicted vpon them, or any of them &s;o offending.
