DIEV ET MON DROIT  ❧ By the King. ❧ A Proclamation to prevent the furnishing of the King of Spain and his Subjects, with provisions for Shipping, or Munition for the Wars, and with Victuals.  
WHereas His Majesty by His Royal Proclamation, bearing date the one and thirtieth of December, in the first year of His Highness' Reign, for special causes therein at large expressed, did notify to all manner of persons of all conditions, that should send or carry into Spain, Portugal, Burgundy, or any other of the King of Spain's Countries or Dominions, any manner of Grain or other Victuals, or any manner of Provisions, to Serve, Build, Furnish, or Arm any Ships of War, or any kind of Munition for the War, or materials for the same, being not of the nature of mere Merchandise; That He would not only authorise His own Admirals and Captains of His own Ships of War, but would also allow and approve all other His Subjects to Arm their Ships, and with them to impeach and arrest all Ships that should Sail, either out of the East parts, or out of the Low-Countries, or from any other Parts, with intention to pass to Spain, Portugal, Burgundy, or any other of the King of Spain's Countries or Dominions, or to any the said King of Spain's Ships being on the Seas, having on Board any such Grain, Victual, Provisions of War, or Furniture for Shipping, or materials for the same; and the same to bring into the next good Port, there to be ordered as goods duly forfeited; the causes whereof being not only notoriously known to be most true, but also much conducing to the common good of all His Majesty's Confederates and Allies in Christendom, as in the said Proclamation is set forth, His Majesty well hoped would have produced that good effect which was desired.  
But because it is found by experience, that in all States there will be some ill disposed persons with whom private and particular gain and advantage will more prevail then any public respects, of what consequence soever; His Majesty intending to remove all pretexts of ignorance or other exceptions, which may be taken against the proceed of His judges and Officers, with any the Subjects of His Friends, confederates, or Allies, who shall hereafter offend in the Premises, hath thought fit by these Presents to make further declaration aswell of the Species or kinds of the things so Prohibited, as of the penalties to be suffered by the parties delinquent in supplying the Enemies with the same prohibited things. Concerning therefore those kinds wherewith His Majesty may not suffer His said Enemies to be furnished, His Majesty doth by these presents publish and notify, that He holdeth these things following to be of that quality and condition; viz. Ordinance, Arms of all sorts, Powder, Shott, Match, Brimstone, Copper, Iron, Cordage of all kinds; Hemp, Sail, Canvas, and Dantse-pouldavis, Cables, Anchors, Masts, Rafters, Boate-Oares, Balcks, Capraves, Deale-board, Clap-board, Pipe-staves, and Vessels and Vessel stuff, Pitch, Tar, , Okam, Corn, Graine, and Victuals of all sorts, all Provisions for Shipping, and all Munition of War, or of Provisions for the same, according to former Declarations and Acts of State, made in this behalf in the time of Queen Elizabeth of famous memory.  
And therefore if any Person whatsoever after Three Months, from the publication of these Presents, shall by any of His Majesty's own Ships, or the Ships of any His Subjects Authorized to that effect, be taken Sailing towards the places aforesaid, having on board any of the things aforesaid, or returning thence in the same Voyage, having vented or disposed of the said Prohibited goods, His Majesty will hold both the Ships and Goods so taken for lawful prize, and cause them to be ordered as duly forfeited; whereby as His Majesty doth put in practice no Innovation, since the same course hath been held, and the same penalties have been heretofore inflicted by other States and Princes upon the like occasions, and avowed and maintained by public writings and Apologies; So now His Majesty is in a manner enforced thereunto by Proclamations set forth by the King of Spain and the Archduchesse, in which the same and greater severity is professed against those that shall carry or have carried, without limitation, the like Commodities into these His Majesty's Dominions.  
Given at Our Court at New-market the fourth day of March, in the second year of Our Reign of Great Britain, France and Ireland.  
God save the King.
