❧ By the King.  
WHere in a Proclamation( lately by us published) for considerations therein expressed, We prescribed a course whereby the complaints of our people might bee taken away, if the same should appear to bee justly grounded; having now since that time received particular information, that a grant to certain Patentees for the sole preemption of tin, was very inconvenient and full of grievance to our loving Subiects: Wee, after long debate thereof before ourself and our privy council, where objections of either side were made, and where the inconveniences were laid open, Haue resolved not onely to consider how the generality of our Subiects might bee relieved in suspension of this grant, but how the same might be done without any injustice to any particular person, who is interested therein by virtue of Letters Patents under the great seal of England, whereof wee never intend to seek any course of revocation, but by an ordinary course of Iustice, in which all our people are equally interested. In which respect, having commanded the Lords and others of our privy council to call before them the Patentees, and then to offer them all such trial for the maintenance of that Patent, as the Iustice of this our realm affordeth, The said Patentees haue rather yielded in their own duty and discretions, to surrender the Patent, then to go about to maintain it: Whereof wee thought it fit that all our good Subiects should take notice, as an Argument of our continual care and desire to do all things, which tend to the relief of our people in any thing, whereby they receive any maner of oppression, as long as they shall dutifully and orderly appeal unto us for the same.  
given at our Mannour of Greenwich the 16. day of june, in the first year of our reign of England, France, and Ireland, And in the six and thirtieth of Scotland. God save the King.
