INSTRVCTIons for the increasing of Mulberie Trees and the breeding of Silke-wormes for the making of Silke in this Kingdome Whereunto is annexed his Maiesties Letters to the Lords Liefetenants of the seuerall Shieres of England tending to that purpose LONDON Printed by E.A. for Eleazar Edgar and are to be solde at his Shop in Paules-Church-yard at the Signe of the Winde-mill 1609 To the READER AS one desirous of nothing more then the publike good I here most willingly impart vnto thee Gentle Reader that which by my own experience I finde in regard of the benefit it affoords worthy thy paines and obseruatiō It hath pleased his Maiestie out of his deepe discerning iudgemēt to giue my purpose a special approbatiō withal to expresse a willingnesse in himselfe to further so good a businesse as by his gratious Letters hereunto annexed moste manifestly appeares Accept therefore of these my briefe directions approoue of them as they prooue I could haue extended them to a farther length but Oratorie needs not where the thing it selfe perswades Yet some peraduenture that haue laboured in the like before will take occasion to countenance themselues make my breuitie an argument of vnsufficiency although I hope they will consider that a Kings Picture may bee as perfect in a penny as in the largest coine And whatsoeuer hath beene by them published interpreting other mens workes according to the practise thereof in Forraigne parts where the same as yet is generally better vnderstood I doubt not but future tryall will verifie this my booke to be euerie way heere more correspondent to the creature whereof it treates and for such I commend it to each vnpartiall vnderstanding Remaining alwaies Thine for the publike Weale W. S Iames Rex Right trustie and VVelbelooued wee greete you well IT is a principall part of that Christian care which appertaineth to soueraigntie to endeauour by all meanes possible aswell to beget as to increase among their people the knowledge and practise of all Artes and Trades whereby they may be both wained from idlenesse the enormities therof which are infinite and exercised in such industries and labours as are accompained with euident hopes not onely of preseruing people from the shame and greefe of penuire but also of raysing and increasing them in wealth and aboundance The scope which euerie free-borne spirit aymeth at not in regard of himselfe onely and the ease which a plentiful estate bringeth to euerie one in his particuler but also in regard of the honor of their natiue country whose commendations is no waie more set foorth then in the peoples actiuenes and industrie The consideration whereof hauing of late occupied our minde who alwaies esteeme our peoples good our necessarie contemplations we haue cōceiued as well by the discourse of our owne reason as by information gathered from others that the making of silke might as well be effected heere as it is in the kingdome of France where the same hath of late yeares beene put in practise For neither is the clymate of this I le so far distinct or different in condition from that countrie especially frō the hither parts therof but that it is to be hoped that those things which by industry prosper there may by like industrie vsed heere haue like successe and many priuate persons who for their pleasure haue bred of those wormes haue found no experience to the contrarie but that they may be nourished and maintained heere if prouision were made for planting of Mulberie trees whose leaues are the food of the Wormes And therefore wee haue thought good hereby to let you vnderstand that although in suffering this inuention to take place we doe shew our selues somewhat an aduersary to our profit which in the matter of our Customes for silk brought from beyond the Seas will receiue some deminution Neuerthelesse when there is question of so great and publique vtilitie to come to our kingdome and subiects in generall and whereby besides multitudes of people of both sexes and all ages such as in regard of impotencie are vnfitte for other labour may bee set on worke comforted and releeued We are content that our priuate benefit shall giue way to the publique and therefore beeing perswaded that no well affected Subiect will refuse to put his helping hand to such a work as can haue no other priuate end in vs but the desire of the wel-fare of our people we haue thought good in this forme onely to require you as a person of greatest authoritie within that Countie and from whome the generalitie may receiue notice of our pleasure with more conueniencie them otherwise to take occasion either at the quarter Sessions or at some other publique place of meeting to perswade and require such as are of abilitie without discending to trouble the poore for whome we seeke to prouide to buye and distribute in that Countie the number of ten thousand Mulberie plants which shal be deliuered vnto them at our Cittie of c at the rate of three farthinges the Plant or at sixe shillings the hundred containing fiue-score plants And because the buying of the said Plants at this rate may at first seeme chargeable to our said subjects whome we would bee loath to burthen wee haue taken order that in March or Aprill next there shall be deliuered at the saide place a good quantitie of Mulberie-seedes there to be sold to such as will buy them By meanes whereof the said plants will bee deliuered at a smaller rate them they can be afforded being caried from hence hauing resolued also in the meane time that there shall bee published in print a plaine Instruction and direction both for the encreasing of the saide Mulberie-trees the breeding of the Silke-worms all other thinges needefull to be vnderstood for the perfecting of a work euery way so cōmendable profitable as wel to the planter as to those that shal vse the trade Hauing now made knowne vnto you the motiues as they stād with the publik good wherin euerie man is interessed because wee knowe how much the example of our owne Deputie-Lieuetenants and Iustices wil further this cause if you and other your neighbours wil be content to take some good quātities hereof to distribute vpon your owne landes wee are content to acknowledge thus much more in this direction of ours that all thinges of this nature tending to plantations increase of Science and works of industrie are thinges so naturally pleasing to our owne disposition as wee shall take it for an argument of extraordinarie affection towards our person besides the iudgement we shall make of the good dispositions in all those that shall expresse in any kinde their ready mindes to further the same And shal esteeme that in furthering the same they seeke to further our honour and contentment who hauing seene in few yeares space past that our Brother the French King hath since his comming to that Crowne both begun and brought to perfection the making of
