A PROCLAMATION For preventing the Importation of Foreign Corn in time of Plenty.  
CHARLES R.  
THe King's most Excellent Majesty being advertised, That great quantities of Corn and Grain are Imported, and more intended to be Imported into this His Majesty's Kingdom of England; whereby the Liberty for Transportation of Corn will be rendered useless to His Majesty's Subjects, the Markets clogged, and the Corn of the Growth of this Kingdom undersold, to the great discouragement of Tillage and Husbandry, and diminution and abatement of the Rents and Revenues of this Kingdom. Therefore the Kings most Excellent Majesty, with the Advice of His Privy Council, for remedy and prevention hereof, Doth by this His Royal Proclamation straight Forbid and Prohibit all persons whatsoever, Aliens and Denizens, and all His Majesty's Subjects, from and after the Publishing this His Proclamation, to Import or cause to be Imported into any part or place of this Kingdom, any Foreign Corn or Grain, of what nature or kind soever, or to Utter, Barter, or Sell the same, until His Majesty's Pleasure shall be declared, or other Order taken, upon pain of forfeiting all that by Law is Forfeitable, and such other Punishment as by the Prerogative Royal may be Inflicted upon the Contemners of His Majesty's Royal Authority.  
Given at Our Court at Whitehall the 29th day of March, in the One and twentieth year of Our Reign. 
 God save the King.
