B. and the Law there held to be so at that time upon a question moved in the Queens behalf against divers that being beyond the Seas refused to return upon commandment sent unto them to that purpose The same is again for Law confirmed in the Dutchess of Suffolke Dier 2. El. 176. 5 R. 2. c. 2 Case 2 Eliz. Dier 176. But the Common Law was altered in this point by the Statute of 5. R. 2. cap. 2. by which the passage of all people is defended that they may not go without licence except the Lords and other great men of the Realm Merchants and Souldiers So for the Merchants which are the people dealt withal in the business in hand the Common Law remaineth as it was before the Statute and so it was held 12. El. Dier 196. where the case was Dier 12. El. 196. An English Merchant being a Papist went over-sea and being there did settle himself to remain there for the enjoying the freedom of his conscience It was moved here in England that his going without licence should be a contempt because he went not to traffique as a Merchant but for the cause of Religion It was resolved no such averment would be taken in this case for that the very calling and vocation of being a Merchant did give him liberty to go out of the Kingdom when he would and therefore the secret intent of his going was not to be enquired after Sed lex inspicit quod verisimilius Therefore it was in this case held no contempt but at this day the Law is as it was before 5. R. 2. cap. 2. for that Statute is repealed 4 Jac. c. 1 4. Jac. cap. 1. And all men whatsoever are now at liberty by the Common Law to pass out of the Realm There is onely against this inconvenient liberty a Proclamation dated at Westminster Proclam 9. Jul. 5. Jac. 9. Jul 5. Jac. To the very same effect in point of restraint of passage with the Statute of R. 2. So the Subject is in this much the more at ease and liberty then he was before That his going over-sea without licence doth not induce any forfeiture but onely incurreth the censure of a contempt and therefore it were to be wished that some firm Law might be made in the case both for the execution of so good a point of policy and for the more quiet of the State in knowing the certainty of the punishment for the offence This liberty and freedom of Merchants hath been strenthened and confirmed by many notable Laws before recited 14.

E. 3. cap. 1. in which Statute there was this clause Untill that by the King and his Council it be thereof otherwise provided which power so given to the King to be used for the good of the Commonwealth gave occasion to him to abuse it to his profit and commodity by giving licences of transportation to all that would give forty shillings upon a Sack of Wooll above the due Custom This appeareth in the Records in the Exchequer 13.
