❧ A Proclamation for freedom of passage out of Ireland into England.  
WHereas some restraint hath heretofore been made by His Majesty by Proclamation, of the free passage of His Subjects out of the Kingdom of Ireland into England without Licence in that behalf: His Majesty by the advice of His Privy Council, and upon the motion of both the Houses now here assembled in Parliament, hath thought fit to take off that restraint; And doth therefore hereby declare His Royal will and pleasure to be; That all His Ports of Ireland shall be as open and free for all His Subjects to pass out of that Kingdom into England as formerly they have been, notwithstanding any restraint by Proclamation since His Majesty's access to the Crown.  
And therefore His Majesty doth straight charge and command all Majors, Sovereigns, Portreeves, Customers, Comptrollers, Surveyors, Searchers, Waiters, and all other His Majesty's Officers and Ministers of all or any the Ports of Ireland, or the members thereof; That they permit and suffer all such of His Majesty's Subjects within that Realm as shall be minded to transport themselves into England, to have freedom of passage at the said Ports accordingly without any their lets or interruptions; Any His Majesty's Proclamations to the contrary notwithstanding: And His Majesty further requireth that this His Royal pleasure be made known to all his Subjects, by publishing the same in both the said Kingdoms.  
Given at the Court at Whitehall the eighteenth day of November, in the sixteenth year of His Majesty's Reign. 
 God save the King.
