By the King A Proclamation for the preuenting of the Exportation of Woolles Wool-fels Yarne Fullers earth and Woad-ashes and of Hydes both tand and raw out of this Kingdome WHereas Our late Royall Father of happy Memorie deceased Hauing vnderstood by the generall complaints of his louing subiects from the seuerall parts of His Realme of England that of late yeeres theretofore the Woolles of this Kingdome were exceedingly fallen from their wonted values and that the Cloth and Stuffe of the same had not that vent in forreigne parts which formerly they had and taking into his Princely consideration the weighty consequence thereof as of a matter of very great importance for the wealth and welfare of this Kingdom also being carefull to prouide a speedy and effectuall remedie against such a growing euill did by aduice of his Priuy Councell and after information and report made by diuers persons of qualitie and knowen abilitie trusted in that behalfe finde amongst other things of moment That the exportation of Woolles Wool-fels woollen Yarne Fullers earth and Woad-ashes were a great means to enable the forreigne 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 here made of Woolles did exceedingly disgrace and discredite the Draperie of this our Kingdome and did very much hinder the vent of those Commodities Therupon Our said late Father did by his royall Proclamation bearing date the twentieth day of Iuly in the twentieth yeere of his reigne ouer England France and Ireland straightly charge and command that no manner of Woolles Wool-fels Woollen Yarne Cornish haire Fullers earth or Woad-ashes should be at any time or times thereafter exported out of this Realme of England Dominion of Wales Towne or Port of Berwicke or any the Isles Ports Creekes or places thereof into any forreigne parts or into the Kingdome of Scotland nor that any of the sayd Commodities should be transported out of our Kingdome of Ireland into any other parts then into the Realme of England onely vpon such paines as in the sayd Proclamation are contained Forasmuch as the sayd Proclamation was by Our Fathers decease determined And yet Wee finde that the reasons and necessitie doe still remaine Wee therefore out of the great desire We haue to aduance the wealth of Our people and by all meanes possible to cherish and comfort their labours haue thought fit by the aduice of Our priuie Councell to renew the said Proclamation with further prohibition of the exportation of Hydes both tand and rawe by reason of the exportation whereof as Wee are informed diuers the like abuses and inconueniences haue and doe dayly happen Wherefore Our will and pleasure is and We doe by these presents straightly charge and command that no manner of Woolles Wool-fels Woollen yarne Cornish haire Fullers earth Woad-ashes or Hydes either raw or tand be at any
