WHereas the severall Plantations in Virginia , Bermudas , Barbados , and other places of America have been much beneficiall to this Kingdome by the increase of Navigation , and the Customs arising from the commodities of the growth of those Plantations imported into this Kingdome have been , and are beneficiall , that all such as have traded there ( for their better encouragement ) have used to transport from hence thither Merchandizes , Goods , and necessaries for the better carrying on of the said Plantations , without paying any Custom for any Goods so exported from hence thither : The Lords and Commons assembled in Parliament , for the better advancement of the said Plantations , and encouragement of the Adventurers to the same , have Ordained , and be it Ordained by the said Lords and Commons , That all Merchandize , Goods , and necessaries , which shall be for the supportation , use , and expence of the said severall Plantations , shall , or may be exported thither from this Kingdome by any of the Subjects thereof , without paying or yeelding any Custom , Subsidie , Taxation , Imposition , or other duty for the same ; the duty of Excize excepted during the space of three yeares next ensuing , except unto the Plantation in new-found Lands ; provided , That from time to time , as any such Merchandize and Goods be endeavoured to be exported for the use aforesaid , security be first given to the Commissioners and Officers of the Customs where such Goods shall be laden , that the said Merchandizes and Goods so to be exported by vertue of this Ordinance shall be really transported to the said forraigne Plantations , and to no other places , and there to be imployed for the only use of the Plantations ; and that Certificate shall be returned from thence within one yeare after the lading thereof of the Ships arrivall , and discharge in the said forraigne Plantations . And for that there is great want of servants in the said Plantations , as well for the raising of commodities apt to be produced there , as for defence of themselves from being made a prey to the Natives , or forraigne enemies . Be it further Ordained by the said Lords and Commons , That it shall be lawfull for any person or persons , Subjects of this Kingdome , to entertaine , and transport from hence into the said severall Plantations , such persons being fit to serve , or advance the Trade there , as shall be willing to serve , or to be employed in the said severall forraigne Plantations ; provided , that the names of all such persons so to be transported to serve in the said Plantations , be first Registred in the Custom-house , and that neither force be used to take up any such servants , nor any Apprentises entised to desert their Masters , nor any Children under age admitted without expresse consent of their Parents . And provided also , that certificate within one yeare be returned from the Governour , or other chiefe Officer of such Plantation , where such persons shall be put on shore , of the arrivall of the said persons there , that no fraud be used to carry any such persons to any other place ; Provided alwaies , that none of the said Plantations doe suffer or permit any Ship , Bark , or Vessell to take in any Goods of the growth of the said Plantations from any of their Ports , and carry them to any forraigne parts and places , except in English Bottomes ; and in case any of the said Plantations shall offend herein , then the Plantation so offending shall be excluded from the benefit of this Ordinance , and shall pay custome as other Merchants doe to France , Spaine , Holland , and other forraigne parts .
