¶ By the queen.  
THE queens majesty, perceauyng by experience, that her enemies the French, intend to procure by covin certain persons of this realm, being more given to lucre, then to their dueties, to colour and bear the name as owners, though not in truth, of great quantity of wines and other commodities, to be brought out of the french kings countreys by indirect means, into this realm, to the great gain of her enemies, and damage to all her good Subiectes: Hath thought necessary for the weal and state of her realm, which ought to be preferred above any particular mens interests, to provide for some remedy. And therfore, least any should excuse themselves by ignorance, doth notify such kind of colouring of French mens goods, to be an aiding and comforting of her enemies, which by the ancient laws of this realm, is high Treason. whereof her majesty willeth all maner her Subiectes or any other that haue given their oath of allegiance to this crown of england, to take good heed for the danger that must needs therof ensue. And further also, her majesty by aduise of her council, doth ●rayghtly charge and command all maner her Subiectes, utterly to forbear to bring into this realm during these warres, any maner of wines, of the growth of any part of the french kings dominions, or to bargain with any maner of person for any such wines, vpon pain that whosoever shall do any thing to the contrary therof, to forfeit the whole wines, and to be committed to prison, there to remain during her majesties pleasure, as one that being thus forbidden, may duly be charged to be aiding and comforting to her majesties enemies. provided nevertheless, that such wines as shal be lawfully, and without fraud, taken by any of her majesties subiectes, as men of war upon the Seas, from her majesties enemies the French: may be brought into any port of this realm, & sold, as the same might before this Proclamation.  
And yet to the end her majesty may understand the estymate of the wine so brought in by men of war: Her majesty commandeth all such as shall so take any, and shall bring or send the same into any port, shall permit the officers of the port, to take a view and note of the quantity therof. And the said officers shall so do, without exactyng any thing of the owner or taker of the wines, otherwise then before this time they might haue done: And shall within twenty dayes or less time, according to the distance of the place, after the view duly taken, certify by writing to her majesties privy council attending on her person, the said quantity of wine, with the names of the takers.  
provided also, that notwithstanding this prohibition, it shalbe lawful for such persons as in the month of november last, had licence of her majesty for the quantity only of two thousand tons of wine, to be brought into this realm in strangers bottoms, to take the effect and benefit of the same licence for the said quantity of two thousand tons, to be brought in strangers bottoms, being in amity with her majesty.
