Exercise of Power and Dominion over them, had very near Introduced; We finding in Our Subjects a True and just Sense hereof, and of the Miseries and Oppressions the French Protestant's lie under: For their Relief, and to Encourage them that shall be willing to Transport themselves, their Families, and Estates into this Our Kingdom, We do hereby Declare, That all French Protestants that shall seek their Refuge in, and Transport themselves into this Our Kingdom, shall not only have Our Royal Protection for themselves, Families and Estates within this Our Realm; But We will also do Our Endeavour in all reasonable ways and means, so to Support, Aid, and Assist them in their several and respective Trades and Ways of Livelihood, as that their living and being in this Realm may be comfortable and easy to them.
