HONI SOIT QVI MAL Y PENSE DIEV ET MON DROIT ❧ By the King ¶ A Proclamation concerning Wyer Threed and other Manufactures made of Gold and Siluer THe Kings most Excellent Maiestie being carefull and desirous to preuent and auoid all vnnecessary waste and consumption of Coyne and Bullion within this Realme hath published sundry Proclamations for suppressing all irregular and vnlawfull Melting and Fining of Gold and Siluer and the making of Gold and Siluer Threed Gold and Siluer Foliat and other Manufactures whereupon much Coyne and Bullion was found to be consumed But not finding any amendment answerable to his gracious expectation for that the offendors being many of them very poore and making their whole gaine and liuing thereby did aduenture against all Law and Authoritie to continue their workes though in a more secret and close manner then before And therefore his Maiestie vpon mature aduice with his Priuie Counsel finding it a matter of so much difficultie vtterly to suppresse those Manufactures as that it was not to bee effected without much seueritie and rigor to many of the poorer sort of his Subiects hath resolued of a more moderate and fitting course by reducing those Trades vnder order and gouernement whereby the inconueniences may be preuented and yet the Trades being the liuelyhood of so many men not wholly banished And to that intent his Maiestie by aduice of the Lords and others of His Priuie Counsell hath granted a Charter of incorporation to the Gouernour Assistants and Commonaltie of Gold-Wyer-drawers of the Citie of London conteining sundry politique and good Rules and Orders aswell for preseruing of Coyne and Bullion as for regulating the said Trades and auoyding such deceits as may arise thereby to his Maiesties Subiects For the better
