H. 7. 21. A general complaint is now made by most nay all Tradesmen that work in Silk of the great damage to the English Manufacture in Silk by reason of the Ribands and wrought Silk brough into this Nation by the French and Dutch and those Forrain Nations to the great hindrance and decay of our English Trade for prevention of which I have the rather quoted this Statute to discover a remedy for my grieved Country-men in this behalf by which they may wright themselves if they look after it Wood. There are such wastes and devastations of Wood and Timber and the growth thereof in this Nation as predicates a sad event and inevitable calamity ensuing if it be not timely prevented though I am half afraid it is too late already but hope better and do hereby invite all lovers of their countries good effectually to put in practice all such Laws and Statutes as are ordained for the preservation of Wood and Timber as here they follow Statute 35 H. 8 17. There shall be left unfelled in every acre of Copice or Under wood which shall be felled at twenty four yeers growths or under twelve Standils of Oak or if there be not so many Oaks the number shall be made up of Elm Ash Asp or Beech which Standils shall not be felled until they bear ten inches square within thre foot of the ground on pain that the owner of the Wood shall forfeit for every Standil nor so left 3 s. 4 d and for every Standil left and afterwards cut down before he come to that bigness as aforesaid 3 s. 4 d. the forfeitures to be divided between the King and the Prosecutor None shall convert into tillage or pasture any Underwood or Copice containing two acres or above and being two furlongs distant from the house of the Owner thereof or from the house whereunto such wood doth belong on pain to forfeit 40 s for every acre so converted it were well if this were carefully looked after But the owner of any such Copice or Under wood may fell Standils for his own use for building or repairing c. notwithstanding this Act. The Lord of the Soyl shal not fell or cut down any Wood or Copice wherein others have Common except it be to his own use before he and the Commoners shall agree in the setting out a fourth part thereof to be imployed to the use of the Lord and in case they cannot agree thereupon two Justices of Peace appointed by the Sessions shall have power to call before them twelve of the Commoners and Inhabitants and with the consent of the Lord and them shall set out a fourth part thereof to be inclosed by the Lord within one month after and then to be felled at his pleasure being subject to the same Laws and penalties upon breach thereof as other Copices before mentioned are and if any Beast be suffered to come into such fourth part within seven yeers after it
