CHARLES R.  
HIs Majesty by His Order made in Council upon the Seventh day of February last, having laid a general Imbargo upon all Ships Trading from this Kingdom in such manner as is therein Declared; And having also since that time Declared His further Pleasure, That no Passes or Protections for Ships, formerly granted by his Royal Highness, should be of any force or effect; Is now Graciously pleased to take off the said Restraint; And hath therefore thought fit by Advice of His Privy Council to Publish this His Royal Proclamation, hereby Declaring, That it shall and may be lawful to and for all and every of His Majesty's Loving Subjects, as well Merchants as others, to Set out any Ships to Sea, and to carry on their Trade and Commerce as fully and amply as they could or might have done, if no such Restraint or Imbargo had been made; Any thing in such Restraint contained to the contrary notwithstanding. And His Majesty is further pleased to Declare, That all Passes and Protections for Ships and Mariners, formerly Granted by His Royal Highness Lord High Admiral of England, or hereafter to be Granted, shall be of as full Force and Effect, to all the intents and purposes therein contained, as the same could have been, if no such Embargo had ever happened; Any former Declaration of His Majesty's Pleasure to the contrary in any wise notwithstanding.  
Given at His Majesty's Court at Whitehall this Two and twentieth day of May, in the Twenty fourth year of His Majesty's Reign. 
 God save the King.
