HONI SOIT QVI MAY Y PENSE ¶ By the King WHereas by an Acte of Parliament made in the two and twentieth yeere of the Reigne of Our most noble Progenitour King Edward the fourth It was amongst other things ordeined that all Merchants which should carie or bring any merchandize out of Scotland or the Isles of the same into this Realme of England or Wales first should bring the same merchandize to the Towne of Berwicke And that none of the Kings liege people nor none other person vnder the Kings obeysance should carie any merchandize or cause it to bee carried into this Realme of England or any other place vnder the Kings obeysance But that the same merchandize should be customed at the same Towne of Berwicke except to the Citie of Carlile and the Ports or Creekes pertaining to the West Marches And that no merchandize should bee shipped in any Creeke or other place betwixt Tinmouth and the said Towne of Berwicke but onely in the Port or Hauen of the said Towne of Berwicke And that if any person or persons should offend or do with any maner merchandize aforesaid contrary to any of the said ordinances the same person or persons should forfeit all the said merchandize and that it should be lawfull to any of the Kings liege Subiects to seize all such merchandize so forfeited or else to pursue in his owne name an Action of debt against the same person or persons which so should forfeit conteining the summe of the value of the said goods and the King to haue aswell the one halfe of all such merchandize forfeited and seized as the one halfe of all such summes of money which should be recouered by the Action in the forme aforesaid to bee pursued for the value of any such goods so forfeit and the person or persons which should seize and pursue in the forme aforesaid to haue the other halfe of the same as by the same Acte of Parliament amongst other things more at large appeareth And whereas We were giuen to vnderstand in the first yeere of our Reigne of our Realme of England that since our entrie into this Kingdome many of our subiects of our Realme of Scotland and some also of England did not obserue the same Acte of Parliament but to the intent to defraud vs of our said Customes did goe with their goods and merchandizes ouer the Felles and other by-passages whereby great damage was then done to vs And whereas Wee for that cause at that time did by our Proclamation straitly charge and command all Our Subiects aswell of the one Realme as of the other that none of them should presume after that time to passe any goods from each Realme to other but either shipped at some knowen Port or else through Our said citie of Carlile or Towne of Berwicke as by the same Proclamation may also appeare And whereas We haue beene pleased of long time to forbeare to take any Customes or other Duties of any of Our Subiects of Scotland for any goods passing betwixt Our said Kingdomes vntill now of late During which time Our Subiects did obserue aswell the said Acte of Parliament as the said Proclamation And forasmuch as We are now againe informed that Our said Subiects since We haue giuen order to Our Officers to receaue Our Customes for goods so caried betweene both Our said Kingdomes doe now againe goe with their goods and merchandize ouer the said fels and other by-passages and ship the same at secret obscure and vnknowen places aswell to the great damage and losse vnto Vs in Our Customes and Subsidies as vnto Our Subiects both of this Our Realme of England and also of Our Realme of Scotland both by carying of goods prohibited to be caried out of this Our Realme into Our said Realme of Scotland and from thence into the forreine parts and also by bringing of goods prohibited to be caried out of Our said Realme of Scotland into this Our Realme of England and from hence carying the same into other forreine parts We minding to take away all such excuses as may be made in that behalfe doe therefore by these presents make it knowen to all Our louing Subiects that We doe intend to haue the same Acte of Parliament and all others of like effect put in strait execution in all things aboue mentioned for and concerning land carriages and such goods as shall be shipped at such secret obscure and vnknowen places and to haue the same very carefully obserued performed fulfilled and kept to the onely end that We or Our Fermours may be truely answered of Our due customes Subsidies and other duties due for such goods And for that purpose We doe heereby authorize and straitly charge will and require aswell Our Customers Comptrollers Searchers other Our Officers in Our Ports and Custome houses As also all Our Lieuetennants Deputie Lieuetenants Maiors Sheriffes Bayliffes Constables and other Our Officers Ministers and Subiects whatsoeuer whom it shall concerne not onely to see to the due execution of the same Acte of Parliament themselues to their best knowledge and skill but also to be aiding and assisting to all others that shall endeauour to see the same put in execution as is fit as they will answere the contrary at their vttermost perills Giuen at Our Pallace of Wesminster the 17. day of May in the ninth yeere of Our Reigne of Great Britaine France and Ireland God saue the King ❧ Imprinted at London by Robert Barker Printer to the Kings most excellent Maiestie Anno Dom. 1611.
