royal blazon or coat of arms HONI SOIT QVI MAL Y PENSE ❧ By the King.  
❧ A Proclamation extending a former Proclamation for the Restraint of Shipping any Commodity in Strangers Bottoms, either into this Kingdom or out of the same, unto the special case of Wines of the growth of France, to be imported into this Kingdom, either by Subject or Stranger, according to a Statute in that case provided.  
WHereas We did publish Our Royal Proclamation, bearing date the seventeenth day of April last passed, aswell for the maintaining of the Trade of the LEVANT Company in Particular, as for the quickening and putting in due execution of divers good and politic Laws against the Shipping of Merchandizes in Strangers Bottoms, either Inwards or Outwards; In which Our Proclamation the Statutes of 5. of Richard the second, 4. of Henry the seventh, and 32. of Henry the eight are expressed, But the Statute of 5. Elizabeth concerning Wines of the growth of France, is not therein mentioned, otherwise, then as it may be contained in general terms. Now forasmuch as it importeth the State and strength of Our Navy (whereof Our Fleet of Baourdeaux, and other Our Shipping, Trading for Wines into France is a notable portion) That the said Law of 5. Elizabeth, be no more disobeyed or neglected, but that it be straightly and severely executed: We do hereby charge and command, That the branch of the said Law of 5. Elizabeth which concerneth the Importation of Wines of the Dominions and countries belonging to the Crown of France, in such Vessels only, whereof our Subjects are Owners or Part-owners, be from henceforth diligently and severely put in execution, and that no person, either Alien, denizen, or Our natural born Subject, do presume to bring in any Wines into this Our Realm of England, contrary to the true intent and effect of the said Law, Upon pain, aswell of confiscation, as is in that Law expressed, As also of Our high indignation and displeasure, both towards the Offenders, and towards all Our Officers and Ministers, which shallbe found slack and remiss, in procuring and assisting the due execution of the said Law.  
Given at Royston the twelfth day of October, in the thirteenth year of Our Reign of Great Britain, France and Ireland, and of Scotland the nine and fortieth.  
God save the King.
