R. ❧ By the KING . ❧ A Proclamation prohibiting from henceforth all entercourse of Trade betweene Our City of London , and other parts of Our Kingdome , untill other direction given by Vs . WHEREAS out of Our tender Care to Our City of London , and in hope to reduce them to their due obedience to Us , We by Our Proclamation , hearing date at Our Court at Oxford the eight day of December now last past , did Declare Our Royall Pleasure to be , That there should be no stop or interruption to any of Our loving Subjects , as they should travell to Our City of London with any Cloaths , Wares , or Marchandize , but that they should freely and peaceably passe without any let , trouble or molestation whatsoever ; Which Grace and Favour unto them , have in these many Moneths wrought this contrary effect , That above all other paths of this Our Kingdom A prevalent faction of that City ( which over-rules the whole ) hath so far joyned with , and in that horrid Rebellion , that it hath denounced war against the whole Kingdom , by violent opposing all the possible wayes to Peace ; and so that City formerly famous for their Loyalty , and Love to their Sovereigns , is now become the head of that Traiterous faction , and the receptacle of all such as are disaffected to Our Goverment , and the Lawes of the Kingdome : and not only willingly consents and submits to all burthens and impositions laid upon them , for the support and maintenance of the Rebellious Armies raised against Us , but malitiously prosecutes and pursues all such who are but suspected to wish well to Our Service . And when We pitying the desperate and deplorable condition of Our People , were gratiously pleased to desire a Treaty for an Accommodation , and propounded that whilest that Treaty should continue , there might be a cessation of Armes , and a free Commerce for all Our loving Subjects in all parts of Our Kingdome , that so the benefits of Trade and Commerce being injoyed , Our good People might bee the more in love with Peace , yet this motion thus proceeding from Us was neverthelesse by speciall incitation from the City of London ( which by the Grace of Our said Proclamation enjoyed the said advantage of the whole Kingdome ) scornfully neglected by the enemies of Peace , and all entercourse interdicted to Our City of Oxford , the present place of Residence for Our Court and Army , and that restraint is continued upon all those who are thought to be serviceable , or but well affected to Us : We therefore being thereunto enforced out of this necessity , and finding that the Trade and Commerce of the Kingdome , which ought to be maintained for the publicke benefit of all Our good People , is by this meanes inverted only for the advantage of those Places , and Persons which cherish this Rebellion , the Goods and Merchandise of such who are thought well affected to Us being seised when they are brought , to London , have thought it fit and reasonable to revoke and recall that Our former Act of Grace and Favour . And by this Our Proclamation , We doe publish and Declare to all Our Subjects , That whosoever of them , either in their persons shall from henceforth travell unto Our City of London , without License from Our Selfe , or one of Our Principall Secretaries of State , the Generalls , or Lieutenant-Generalls of Our Armies , or the Governours of any of Our Townes , Castles , or Forts , or with their Goods , Catle , Victuall or Merchandize of any sort whatsoever , shall from henceforth travell unto , or for Our said City of London or Suburbs thereof , without Our expresse Licence for the same under Our Signe Manuall , shall adventure the same at their own Perills , We being resolved by all possible means to seize the same ; And that all those who from any parts of this Our Kingdome shall furnish or serve Our said City of London or Suburbs thereof , either by Sea or Land , with any Victualls , or other Provisions , or with any Merchandize to maintaine them or their Trade , as long as they shall obstinately stand out in Rebellion aagainst Us , We shall esteem as persons disaffected to Us , and to Our Government , and as Ayders & Assisters to the Rebells , and shall accordingly deale with them , and proceed against them : And that this restraint shall continue upon them untill such times as the inhabitants of the said City , finding their errors , shall returne to their due obedience unto us , straitly commandaig all the Officers of Our Armies , and all other Our Officers , Ministers , and loving Subjects in all places through which any Person , Goods , Cattle , Victuall , or Merchandise shall passe or be convesed towards the said City of London , to apprehend the persons , and seise and detaine the Goods , untill upon speedy notice to us they shall receive Our further directions : We hereby assuring them they shall receive part of such Goods so seised in satisfaction and for their reward . But for the continuing of the generall Trade and Commerce of the Kingdome , and the Manufactures thereof ( which We desire to uphold and advance ) We leave all Our Subjects to trade freely in , and unto all other parts , and if and unto all other Ports , or Havens of this Our Kingdome , not being in actuall Rebellion against Us ; and from those Ports to Trade with their Merchandise freely into any other Parts whersoever beyond the Seas , being in amity with Us , without any restraint whatsoever . Given under Our Signe Manuallat Our Court at Oxford this seventeenth day of Iuly , in the nineteenth yeare of Our Reigne . God save the KING . Oxford , Printed by Leonard Lychfield , 1643.
