❧ A Proclamation prohibiting the Exportation of Corn and Graine.  
WHereas We have taken into Our Princely consideration, that, by reason of the late unseasonable weather, the hopefulness of the next ensuing Harvest is much endangered, by which, and by the former exportations the Stores of Corn for the provision of this Kingdom will be much shortened, and the prices may in all probability be much enhanced; And forasmuch as we are informed, that the scarcity of Corn and Grain in the neighbouring Kingdoms and parts, from whence Our Dominions in times of dearth or scarcity, have formerly been furnished, is such, as little hope of relief is to be expected from them: We therefore, desiring, as much as in us lieth, by Our timely providence, to take care for the prevention of the many inconveniences, which otherwise may ensue, have thought fit by the advice of the Lords, and others of Our Privy Counsel, to declare and publish Our Royal will and pleasure therein.  
And We do hereby straight charge, prohibit, and command, that no person or persons whatsoever, shall from henceforth attempt, presume, or go about to transport, export, or send away, any Corn or Grain whatsoever, out of this Our Realm of England, or from any the Ports, Havens or Creeks of the same, into any the parts beyond the Sea, until Our Royal pleasure be further declared to the contrary, although the prices of such Corn or grain shall fall out to be under the rate limited by the Statute for Transportation of Corn and Grain in that behalf; Any former Licence, or other command whatsoever to the contrary in any wise notwithstanding.  
And for the better execution of Our pleasure herein, We do hereby will and command, as well all Mayors, justices of Peace, and other Ministers, as all the Officers and Farmers of Our Customs within this Our Realm of England, to take notice of this Our Royal Command, and to see the same duly observed, as they tender Our pleasure, and will annoyed Our indignation and displeasure for the contrary.  
Given at Our Court at Greenwich, the second day of May, in the fifth year of Our Reign of Great Britain, France, and Ireland.  
God save the King.
