❧ By the King ¶ A Proclamation for the preuenting of the exportation of Woolles Woolle-fels Yarne Fullers earth and Woad-ashes and for the better vent of Cloth and Stuffe made of Wooll within this Kingdome HAuing vnderstood by the generall complaints of Our louing Subiects from the seuerall parts of this Our Realme of England that of late yeeres the Woolles of this Our Kingdome are exceedingly fallen from their woonted values and that the Cloth and Stuffes of this Our Kingdome haue not that vent in forraine parts which formerly they haue had Wee taking these things and the weightie consequence thereof into Our Princely consideration as matter of very great importance to the wealth and welfare of this Our Kingdome and being carefull to prouide a speedy and effectuall remedy against such a growing euill and to the end that the honest Clothiers and those painefull workfolkes that depend vpon them might bee comforted in their labours and bee incouraged in their trades and the Woolles and manufactures of Woolles restored to their wonted estimation Haue therefore seriously and often aduised with Our Priuie Counsell for the good of Our people and the better to be informed both of the true causes and the fittest remedies thought it expedient first to nominate a Committee of twelue persons of quality and knowne abilities not onely to informe themselues out of their owne obseruations and iudgements but also by conference with diuers Knights and Gentlemen of seuerall Counties Merchants of diuers Societies Clothiers of seuerall clothing-Shires and with all such others as they in their opinions thought fit and then afterwards to make report to Vs and Our Priuie Counsell of their proceedings in that behalfe Which Committee according to Our trust in them reposed haue with great care and diligence trauelled therein and exactly inquired both into the causes and after the remedies and made their report vnto Vs accordingly Whereupon and after aduise taken with Our Priuie Counsell We finde amongst other things of moment That the exportation of Woolles Woolle-fels Woollen yarne Fullers earth and Woad-ashes are a great meanes to inable the forraigne making of Cloth and a principall impediment to the vent of Our Clothes made in England And that the false and deceitfull making dying and dressing of Our Cloth and Stuffes heere made of Woolles doth exceedingly disgrace and discredit the Drapery of this Our Kingdome and doth very much hinder the vent of these commodities We therfore out of the great desire We haue to aduance the wealth of Our people by all
