❧ A Proclamation touching the Importation of French Wines.  
WHereas We have been given to understand, by the humble complaint, aswell of the Company of French Merchants, as of the Company of Vintners of London, that the quantities of French Wines already imported, and now remaining in this Kingdom, are so great, as that unless the further Importation of such Wines be for a convenient time prohibited, they shall not be able for the support and maintenance of their Trade, to make sale of those Wines which do now lie upon their hands; We, therefore having taken this into Our Princely consideration, as also the manifold inconveniences, which already have, and do daily grow by the liberty taken by occasion of the late disturbance of Free Trade in France, to import Wines in Foreign Bottoms, contrary to Our Laws, by, and with the Advice of the Lords, & others of Our Privy Counsel, do hereby strictly charge, prohibit and command, that no person or persons whatsoever, do attempt, or presume to bring or import into this Realm of England, or Dominion of Wales, or into any Port, Haven, Creek, or place thereof, any Wines whatsoever of the growth of France, before the first day of February now next ensuing.  
And further, by the like Advice of Our Privy Counsel, We do hereby publish and declare Our Royal pleasure to be, and do strictly prohibit and command, That no Wines whatsoever, shall hereafter be imported into this Our Realm, or the Dominions thereof, in any foreign Ship, Hoy, or other Vessel whatsoever, contrary to the Laws & Statutes of this Our Realm in that behalf made and provided, but only in English Bottoms, upon such pains and punishments, as by Our Laws, or by Our Prerogative Royal can, and may be inflicted upon all such persons, who shall at any time hereafter presume to offend herein, contrary to Our Laws, and contrary to this Our pleasure herein declared.  
Nevertheless, Our intent or meaning is not, but that the French Merchants, the natural borne Subjects of Our dear Brother the French King, shall have and enjoy the like liberty of bringing in aswell the Wines of France, as other the natural Commodities of that Kingdom, in any Ships or other Vessels of their own building, and appertaining unto themselves, as formerly they have used and enjoyed.  
Given at Our Court at Nonsuch, the seventh day of july, in the Fift year of Our Reign Of Great Britain, France, and Ireland.  
God save the King.
