CHARLES R.  
WHereas the Kings most Excellent Majesty, by His Proclamation of the 15th of April last, upon the considerations therein expressed, did give free liberty and licence to all and every person and persons whatsoever, from the day of the date thereof, until the Twenty fifth day of December than next, to Transport and carry out of this Kingdom, all Woollen Manufactures whatsoever, to any Port or Place beyond the Seas, lying within the limits and bounds of the Merchant-Adventurers Patent (Except the Mart-Towns of Dort and Hamburgh) And whereas several Merchants and Clothiers in the Western, and other parts of this Kingdom, have humbly besought His Majesty, That by reason of the great decay in the Trade of Cloth, and other Woollen Manufactures of this Kingdom, His Majesty would be graciously pleased to grant them Twelve months longer, for a free Exportation of the said Manufactures; His Majesty therefore doth by the Advice of His Privy Council, hereby give free Liberty and Licence to all and every person and persons whatsoever, as well Natives and Denizens, as Strangers and Foreigners, until the Five and twentieth day of December next, to Transport and carry out of this Kingdom all Woollen Manufactures whatsoever, to any Port or Place beyond the Seas, lying within the limits and bounds of the said Merchant-Adventurers Patent (Except the Mart-Towns of Dort and Hamburgh) Yet His Majesty would not hereby be thought to have a light esteém of the Services of that Company to Himself, and the Crown in former times, nor of their usefulness towards the advance and increase of the Trade of this Kingdom; Nor doth His Majesty by this temporary dispensation intent to lessen the Authority of their Charter, as to the Government of that Society either at home or abroad. And His Majesty doth hereby Require and Command, That during the time of this Licence and Dispensation, due payment be made of all Duties for Licensing the Exportation of White Clothes, according to former use and practise.  
Given at Our Court at Whitehall the 29th day of March, In the Nineteenth year of Our Reign. 1667. 
 God save the King.
