❧_o by_o the_o king_n whereas_o we_o have_v be_v inform_v of_o the_o great_a fraud_n and_o deceit_n use_v in_o die_v of_o all_o kind_n of_o silk_n but_o especial_o in_o black_a which_o have_v so_o far_o exceed_v that_o by_o the_o mixture_n of_o diverse_a bad_a and_o hurtful_a thing_n in_o die_v thereof_o as_o namely_o of_o a_o corrupt_a matter_n or_o stuff_n call_v slip_n there_o have_v be_v a_o extraordinary_a increase_n of_o weight_n sometime_o to_o the_o double_n of_o that_o which_o it_o be_v before_o and_o sometime_o more_o and_o sometime_o less_o whereby_o the_o silk_n so_o deceitful_o dye_v be_v so_o rot_v corrupt_v &_o spoil_v that_o it_o be_v not_o fit_a to_o be_v wear_v or_o use_v and_o yet_o be_v false_o make_v fair_a to_o the_o eye_n to_o deceive_v and_o abuse_v the_o buyer_n and_o wearer_n thereof_o and_o whereas_o also_o we_o have_v take_v knowledge_n that_o a_o act_n of_o common_a council_n have_v late_o pass_v for_o reformation_n of_o such_o kind_n of_o deceitful_a die_v of_o silk_n within_o our_o city_n of_o london_n and_o the_o liberty_n thereof_o and_o that_o the_o careful_a put_v the_o say_a act_n in_o execution_n have_v already_o wrought_v some_o good_a effect_n within_o the_o say_a city_n and_o the_o liberty_n thereof_o for_o the_o abolish_n of_o the_o say_a fraud_n and_o deceit_n and_o whereas_o also_o we_o be_v inform_v that_o great_a quantity_n of_o the_o say_v corrupt_v dye_v silk_n be_v not_o only_o daily_o bring_v into_o this_o kingdom_n from_o foreign_a part_n but_o also_o the_o same_o be_v covert_o dye_v and_o sell_v in_o many_o place_n of_o this_o realm_n whereby_o we_o do_v perceive_v and_o foresee_v that_o if_o there_o be_v not_o present_a restraint_n and_o that_o a_o public_a reformation_n thereof_o be_v not_o execute_v in_o all_o part_n of_o the_o realm_n our_o love_a subject_n will_v be_v still_o abuse_v and_o deceive_v notwithstanding_o any_o good_a order_n that_o can_v be_v take_v within_o our_o say_a city_n of_o london_n for_o reformation_n thereof_o wherefore_o we_o have_v with_o the_o advice_n of_o our_o council_n conceive_v that_o it_o be_v very_o requisite_a to_o prohibit_v and_o suppress_v the_o die_a &_o sell_v of_o such_o corrupt_a dye_v silk_n in_o all_o place_n of_o this_o our_o realm_n and_o to_o give_v order_n that_o no_o person_n or_o person_n whatsoever_o shall_v hereafter_o bring_v into_o this_o kingdom_n from_o foreign_a part_n any_o such_o deceitful_a heavy_a dye_v silk_n have_v think_v fit_a to_o signify_v our_o pleasure_n to_o our_o love_a subject_n by_o our_o proclamation_n in_o that_o behalf_n willing_a and_o straight_o charge_v &_o command_v all_o and_o all_o manner_n of_o person_n whatsoever_o aswell_o our_o natural_a bear_v subject_n as_o denizen_n or_o stranger_n that_o none_o of_o they_o nor_o any_o other_o person_n or_o person_n whatsoever_o do_v at_o any_o time_n or_o time_n hereafter_o attempt_v or_o presume_v to_o bring_v or_o cause_n to_o be_v bring_v into_o this_o our_o realm_n or_o dye_v or_o cause_n to_o be_v dye_v in_o any_o part_n thereof_o or_o sell_v or_o put_v to_o sale_n or_o cause_n to_o be_v sell_v or_o to_o be_v put_v to_o sale_n any_o silk_n die_v with_o that_o corrupt_a matter_n or_o stuff_v call_v slip_n or_o any_o other_o matter_n or_o stuff_n which_o cause_v any_o increase_n of_o weight_n in_o the_o say_a silk_n more_o than_o of_o necessity_n be_v require_v for_o the_o colour_n thereof_o upon_o pain_n of_o forfeiture_n of_o all_o and_o every_o quantity_n and_o quantity_n of_o silk_n so_o corrupt_v dyed_n or_o so_o bring_v or_o cause_v to_o be_v bring_v into_o this_o our_o realm_n or_o sell_v or_o put_v to_o sale_n or_o cause_v to_o be_v sell_v or_o put_v to_o sale_n contrary_a to_o this_o our_o present_a
