And whereas notwithstanding the said Act several Letters or Warrants (through misinformation) have been obtained from His Majesty, by which the Lubeckers, their Ships, Mariners and Merchants, are licenced to come into England, and other His Majesty's Kingdoms and Dominions, freed from the penalty of the said Act, upon pretence of a former Custom, and transport thence in their own Ships Merchandizes not only of the Growth of Germany or coming from thence, but also out of Norway, Swedeland, Leifland, and other places situate on the Baltic Sea; All which this Board taking into serious consideration, and well weighing the ill consequences by trenching upon the said Act, and damages and inconveniences which (by such toleration) will accrue to the English Owners of Shipping, Mariners, and Merchants; It was this day Ordered by His Majesty in Council, That all and every such Letters, Licences, or Warrants at any time heretofore obtained from His Majesty, or any other Authority, for permitting any such Ships or Vessels as aforesaid to trade contrary to the said Act for Encouraging and Increasing the Shipping and Navigation of this Kingdom, be, and hereby they are revoked, recalled, and declared void to all intents and purposes, as if no such Letters, Licences, or Warrants had ever been had or obtained: And hereof as well the Commissioners and Officers of His Majesty's Customs in all and every the Ports and Harbours of His Majesty's Kingdoms and Dominions, as also all other persons therein concerned are required to take notice, and to conform hereunto: And the said Commissioners and Officers of His Majesty's Customs are to take care that by convenient time given to those who are already come, or hereafter shall adventure upon any former Order into this or any other Port, that by this Revocation they be not damnified by any sudden surprisal: For all which this shall be to them and every of them sufficient Warrant.
