ROYALL AND GRACIOVS PRIVILEDGES GRANTED By the High and Mighty Philip the Fourth King of Spaine c. March 19. 1645. Vnto the English Merchants Trading within His Dominions Translated out of Spanish and Published for the Benefit of such who desire Commerce in those parts LONDON Printed for Humphrey Moseley at the Princes Armes in Pauls Church-yard 1645. To the Reader WHosoever is vers'd in the knowledge of Merchandizing specially in the mystery of Forraign Trade must confesse what extraordinary advantages accrue to this Kingdome by Commerce with Spaine and the Dominions annexed to that Crowne as well for the Exportation of our owne Manufactures and Commodities as for the importation of theirs especially that of Treasure else how could our Mint find matter enough to worke upon Nor is ours alone but most of the Mints of Europ beholden to the Mines of Mexico and Peru Nor Christian Mints onely but the Turk makes his aspers the Russe makes his Rubbles of Spanish Rialls Insomuch that one may say the Coyne of Spaine is more Catholique then her King And as our trade and amitie with Spain is gainfull so is it very ancient For the Spaniards to this day respect the English as much as any other forraigne Nation and there are many inducements therunto The Chronicle tell us how our Black Prince restor'd one of their Kings to his Crown the Alliance 'twixt the Duke of Lancaster and Portugall is yet fresh amongst them Some of our Kings sent them Auxiliaries against the Moores besides divers other Alliances And the story tells us what excellent Queenes the Infanta's of Spain have prov'd with us Adde hereunto our ancient and famous League with the House of Burgundy wherof this King is the chiefest branch All these are obligations for Spaine to esteem us and us them interchangeably which we did till the difference of Religion happen'd and our assisting the Hollanders with the Invasion intended in the yeare 1588. And though we have been at distance with the Spaniard ever since yet he seemes to retaine still the Nationall esteem he had alwayes of us It being one of his maine maximes of policy Con todo el mundo guerra y paz con Ingalatierra Warre with all the world and peace with England The English Merchants have obtain'd from time to time divers priviledges in the King of Spaines Dominions which have been but loosely observ'd This following Declaration or Royall grant is not onely a confirmation but an enlargement of those Priviledges for hereby they are exempted from all oaths and questions touching their Religion which before they were subject unto in some cases Their Corne is not to be anticipated or taken away from them by any Officer for supply of the Kings Armies or Magazins till they have made their market They shall not bee molested much lesse imprisoned for any putrified or ill conditioned fish but it must be onely throwne oreboard Their bookes of Accompts are not to be seiz'd upon or medled with by any Officer There shall be no rate as heretofore impos'd upon their fish or any preemption forced upon them but they shall bee left free to set their owne prices And lastly they are permitted to choose and nominate a Iudge to be their Conservator who shall have power to determine all suites and differences 'twixt them and any other so that they shall not need hereafter to be tossed from one Court to another but make their addresse onely to their owne Iudge whom they may change when they please and ther 's no appeale from him to any other Court unlesse it bee to the High Counsell of State Besides they have priviledge now to search for any old Record that may concerne their immunities which before they could not And if our Merchants trading into Spaine and there resident were so carefull as they ought to bee they would make better use of that Kings indulgence towards them for those of Sivill had of late a Royall grant to purchase and inclose a piece of ground for a Cymitrey or buriall place but they slighting this favour of grace immodestly expose their dead bodyes unto the scorne and outrage of the rude multitude but I hope and heartily wish That the propensitie of that King to doe our Nation good may incourage those whom it may concerne to be as provident to obtaine some immunities for the good of their soules and bodies as for their estates These Compliances of the Spaniard with the English Nation I thought expedient to publish unto the world that wee by way of civill correspondence should respect the Merchants and Subjects of that Crowne accordingly Your loving Friend I.
