And being graciously inclined to countenance all fair and just means, for settling of the said Staple: We therefore gave full power and commissios to Our Resident and Conservator of the privileges granted to Our Subjects of Scotland in the Low-countrieses; to treat with any Town or place most convenient and advantagions for the Merchants and Trade of this Our Kingdom: So the Articles agreed by him with the Commissioners of the prince of Orange, and Deputies of the town of Campvere, for the resetling of the Scots Staple-court within the said town, are approven by Us: Whereupon the said Staple court is removed from Dort to the town of Campvere. And to the end this Our Royal pleasure, may be made known to all Our loving Subjects of this Our Ancient Kingdom, We with advice of the Lords of Our Privy Council, Do Ordain pablick Proclamation to be made thereof at the usual places of this Our Kingdom; that no person may pretend ignorance, but duly obey Our Royal pleasure herein, as they will answer at their peril. And further, We, wish advice foresaid, Do declare that the ancient standing Acts of Parliament made by Our Royal Progenitors, in favour of the Staple-court, and the Conservator, are in full force and strength. And further, We Ordain the Royal Burroughs in their meetings to make strike Acts, that the Staple may be duly observed, which We with advice foresaid, Declare to be binding upon all Our Subjects whatsoever trading to, or residing within any town, or place of the united Provinces.
