OLIVARIVS DEI GRA REIPVB ANGLIAE SCOTIAE ET HIBERNIAE c PROTECTOR ❧ By the Protector A PROCLAMATION Declaring the right of the FELLOWSHIP and COMPANY of English Merchants for Discovery of New Trades commonly called the Muscovia Company to the sole Fishing for Whales upon the Coasts of Green-land and Chery-Island and for restraining and prohibiting of all others WHEREAS the Discovery of the Island called Chery-Island and the Continent of Green-land with the fishing for Whales upon the Seas and Coasts thereof and of the Islands and places thereto adjacent having been made by the Fellowship of English Merchants for Discovery of New Trades commonly called the Muscovia Company and at their own great charges and hazards hath by experience been found to be and is a very great honour and advantage to this Nation and Commonwealth aswel in the inlargement of the Dominions and Territories thereof as also in the advancement and increase of Navigation and the entring upon and gaining of the Trade of Whale-fishing whereby great quantities of Whale-Oyl Whale-Fins and other Commodities are yearly hither imported to the enriching of this Nation without the Exportation of any Commodities from hence And whereas upon consideration of the Premises and for recompence of the said charge and hazards in the said Discovery and for the encouragement of the said Company and others in time to come several Grants and Letters Patents under the Great Seal of England have been heretofore made and granted to the said Fellowship and particularly in the Raign of the late King Philip and Queen Mary by which all main Lands Isles Havens Ports Creeks and Rivers by the said Company then discovered or to be after discovered were forbidden to be traffiqued unto or visited by any the People of this Nation without the License of the said Company Which Letters Patents were afterwards confirmed by Act of Parliament in the Eighth year of the Raign of the late Queen Elizabeth under the penalty of forfeiting the Ships and Goods of any Trading thither without License and with addition of divers other Priviledges and Liberties unto the said Fellowship and Company And the late King James for the further encouragement of the said Company and preventing others to interrupt distract or disturb their said Trade-fishing and Discoveries did in pursuance of the said Act of Parliament and the true intent and meaning of the same by his Letters Patents grant unto the said Fellowship the sole Trading and Fishing in those Seas and places so discovered by them And all others were forbidden to fish in those Seas and Coasts or to sail thither for Trade without License of the said Company Notwithstanding which the said Company as We are given to understand have of late received some disturbance by the interloping and intruding of some persons into the said Whale-fishing upon those Seas and Coasts of Green-land and Chery-Island whereupon the said Company having addressed their humble Petition unto Vs. And the matter having been by Vs referred to the consideration of our Privy Council and fully heard and debated before a Committee of Our said Council as well on behalf of the said particular Traders as also on behalf of the said Fellowship and Company And the Act of Parliament and the Grants and Charters made to the said Fellowship and Company shewed forth and read and the whole matter having been fully considered and thereupon made evident that such particular fishing for Whales upon those Seas Harbours and Coasts by persons separate from the said Company and trading therein by themselves apart with like power and strength did not onely disturb the main Trade of Fishing and taking of Whales by the Company but did tend to the ruine and destruction of that Fishing and unless prevented might occasion Forraigners to come in and gain away that fishing and Trading from this Nation which might tend to the great damage and dishonour of Vs and this Nation besides the particular damage of the said Company And whereas the whole state of the matter having been again represented to Our said Privy Council and by them also fully considered it was by them conceived to be for the good of this Nation to encourage the carrying on of the said Whale-fishing and Trade by the said Felloshwip and Company onely and to forbid all others except such as the said Company should License to intrude or meddle therein And the said Company having further declared that they appropriating those parts of the said Seas called Bell Sound and Horn Sound with such other places as they shall fish in to themselves onely were well contented and do promise to grant Licenses gratis to all and every person of this Nation and Commonwealth that shall or will but ask or desire to fish for Whales or Trade in any other of the said Seas or Coasts of Green-land or Chery-Island where they themselves fish not We therefore taking the Premises into Our consideration with the advice of Our said Privie Council Do hereby publish and Declare That the whole and sole Trade and fishing for Whales and absolute fishing in and upon the said Seas Coasts and parts of Green-land and Chery-Island and in and upon the said
