CR DIEV·ET MON·DROIT HONI SOIT QVI MAL Y PENSE By the King A PROCLAMATION Against Exportation and Buying and Selling of Gold and Silver at higher rates then in Our Mint As also against Culling Washing or otherwise Diminishing Our Current MONEYS CHARLES R. WHereas We are well informed and do visibly perceive a present scarcity of Moneys throughout the circuit of Our whole Dominions occasioned by the late illegal and promiscuous buying and selling of all sorts of Gold and Silver at higher rates then ever We or any of Our Royal Progenitors have allowed in Our Mint which therefore is exported whereby no Gold or Silver can be brought thither but to the loss of such as bring the same which 't is probable no man will do And so in consequence a great decay or utter ruine of the general Stock of Moneys both for present and future times must necessarily follow if this mischief be not speedily prevented by a severe and strict observance of those many and wholesom Statutes Laws and Proclamations both antient and modern made and Ordained by Our Royal Predecessors and Progenitors in that behalf And We finding and humbly acknowledging it hath pleased Almighty God to bless Our Kingdoms with a plenteous and rich Dowry of native and home-bred Commodities both by Sea and Land above some of Our Neighbours the Exportation and Product whereof may bring great Treasure both of Gold and Silver into Our several Kingdoms which so brought in should there remain a perpetual Stock not to go forth again but be preserved as well for making and maintaining of just and honorable Wars Offensive or Defensive as for adorning and furnishing Our Dominions in time of Peace and strengthening the same with Reputation which followeth such Princes as are esteemed rich in Treasure And considering the makers and Ordainers of the aforesaid Statutes Laws and Proclamations had prudently and providently foreseen that if no Gold or Silver should be suffered directly or indirectly to be Exported out of this Nation it must necessarily follow that the Foreign Commodities which are for the most part but delicacies superfluities or trifles which in it self is a thing intolerable could not possibly be Imported in greater quantities then the native Commodities of Our Dominions might at least balance and answer in Commerce because no other means was left to satisfie or supply the Overplus by Our own Gold or Silver and by continuance of such course these Nations might have been secure and certain never to have run behinde-hand or become indebted and yet still remain in great possibility to increase in Wealth and Treasure even as it ever happens to Prudent single Persons whereof the Publick is the compact Upon these and many other weighty considerations We with the Advice of Our Privy Councel are resolved to follow the safe and solid ways of Our Royal Progenitors for the good of all Our loving Subjects And We do therefore publish and declare Our Royal Will and Pleasure to be and We do hereby streightly Command and Charge That no person or persons Alien or Denizen or other Subject of what estate or quality soever do at any time hereafter without Our special Licence already granted or hereafter to be obtained transport carry or convey or attempt consent assist or endeavour to export carry or convey out of Our Dominions and Gold or Silver in Plate Iewels Coyn Uessels Gold-smiths work Bullion in mass o● otherwise whatsoever upon pain of Our heavy Indignation and displeasure and such further punishment as by the Laws of this Realm may be inflicted on them for such their offence And to the end that none of Our loving Subjects may hereafter be deceived or deceive themselves through ignorance of the many and good Laws and Statutes in this behalf made by Our Royal Ancestors and now in force We have thought it fit and requisite to insert the particular branches thereof in this Our Proclamation That is to say The Statute made at York in the ninth year of King Edward the third called The Statute of Money First Sixth and Ninth Chapters whereby it is provided that from thenceforth none should carry any Sterling out of the Realm of England nor Silver in Plate nor Uessel of Gold or Silver upon pain of forfeiture of the same Money Plate or Uessel And that the Mayor and Bayliffs in every Port where Merchants and Ships be should take an Oath of the Masters and Merchants of Ships going and coming again that they should do no fraud against the provision of that Law in any point and that good and streight Ward should be made in all places upon the Sea-coasts in Havens and elsewhere where any arrival should be by good and lawful men thereto sworn that in the Kings Name they should make diligent search that no man of what estate or condition soever should carry out of the Realm Sterling Money Silver in coyn either of Gold or Silver or Plate nor Uessel of Gold or Silver without the Kings Licence as by the same Statute amongst other things more fully doth appear and one other Statute made in the Fifth year of King Richard the second the second Chapter whereby it was assented and accorded That no manner of People upon pain of as much as they might forfeit should privily or apertly send or bring or do to be sent or brought out of this Realm any Gold or Silver in Money Bullion Plate or Uessel but in certain Cases in the same Statute mentioned as by the same Statute likewise amongst other things more fully doth appear And one other Statute made in the second year of King Henry the fourth the fifth Chapter whereby the King to obvent the subtilty of them the would do fraud or deceit to him contrary to the said Statutue made in the fifth year of King Richard the second did Ordain and Establish That if from thenceforth any Searcher of the King might finde Gold or Silver in Coyn or in Mass in the keeping of any that should be passing or upon his passage in any ship or Uessel for to go out of any Port Haven or Créek of the Realm without the Kings special Licence that Gold or Silver should be forfeited to the King saving his reasonable expences as by the same Statute more at large it doth and may appear And so much of one Statute made in the second year of King Henry the sixth the sixth Chapter whereby it is Ordained and Established That no Gold nor Silver should be carried out of the Realm contrary to the form of the Statutes before made except in certain cases therein expressed upon pain of forfeiture of the value of the sum of money so carried out of the Realm as by the same statute amongst other things at large appeareth And one other statute made in the five and twentieth year of King Edward the third the twelfth Chapter whereby it was accorded That it should be lawful for every man to exchange gold for silver
