Besides great Quantities unsold.  
Whether the Silks and Goods mentioned, as well as great Quantities of Painted and Died Calicoes from India, not taken notice of in this List, be spent here in England, in the room of our Home-made Silks and Woollen Manufactories, and with the Toys and Handicraft-Wares (being it will appear upon Examination) that all are purchased with our Money, do exhaust the Treasure of the Nation, deprive the Poor of their Livelihood, and hinder the Consumption of our Wool and Products, and may not probably increase ad infinitum, unless a Stop be put to their Consumption by this Honourable House; is humbly submitted.  
Since the Adversaries of the Bill now depending in the Honourable House of Commons, For Restraining the wearing of India Silks, etc. have spread Reports how greatly this Trade is courted by our Neighbours, and particularly how the French King encourageth Foreign Trade; we thought it necessary, for the Satisfaction of all those Worthy Persons before whom this Affair lieth, to get an Authentic Copy of the French King's Order of Council, in that respect; whereby any un-prejudiced Person may see the Sense they had of it, and the Proceed they made upon it.

THE King being informed, That the great quantity of Cotten Linnen-Cloth, printed in East-India, or painted in the Kingdom, and other China and India Silk, Stuffs, and Flowered with Gold and Silver, have not only given occasion of Transporting out of the Kingdom many Millions, but also have diminished the Manufactures of old established in France, for the making of Silk, Woollen, Linen and Hemp-Stuffs; and at the same time the Ruin and Destruction of the Working-People, who by want of Work, having no Occupation nor Subsistance for their Families, are gone out of the Kingdom. The which being needful to provide a Remedy for, and for that effect to hinder the Course and Sale in the Kingdom of the said painted Linnen-Cloth, and India and China Silks and Stuffs, nevertheless granting to the Owners a reasonable time that they may sell them; Having heard the Report of Monsieur le Pelletier, Counsellor Ordinary of the King's Royal Counsel, and Comptroller-General of the Finances; his Majesty in his Counsel hath ordered, and doth order, That from the beginning of the Day of the Publication of the present Declaration, all the Manufactures established in the Kingdom for Painting of the White Cotten Linnen-Cloth shall be abolished, and the Moulds serving to the Printing of them shall be broke and destroyed. His Majesty doth forbid, most expressly, the re-establishing thereof; also to his Subjects the Painting of the said Linnen-Cloth; and to the Engravers the making of any Moulds, serving to the said Impression, under the Penalty of losing the said , Moulds and other Utensils, and three thousand Livers Fine, personally paid and without dimunition; one third part to the Informer, the second part to the Hospitals of the Place, and the third to the Farmers of the Revenue. And as concerning the painted Linnen-Cloth, and other China and India Silk, Stuffs, and Flowered with Gold and Silver, his Majesty hath granted, and doth grant (to the last of December 1687. next) to the Merchants and others, the Permission of Selling them as they shall think fit: The said time being expired, his Majesty doth forbid to all Persons, of what Quality and Condition whatsoever they are, the Exposing and the Selling thereof; and to the Particulars the Buying thereof, doth order, That those found in all Warehouses and Shops shall be burnt, and the Proprietors condemned to the like Fine of three thousand Livers, paid as abovesaid. His Majesty doth permit, nevertheless, the Entry, Sale and Retail, of the said White Linen Cloth in his Kingdom, paying by them the Taxes, according to the Declaration of the Counsel the 30th April last, which shall be executed; and that of the 15th of the present Month, to the last of December, 1687. next Year. His Majesty doth command to the Lieutenant of the Policy of the City of Paris, and to the Intendants and Commissaries of the Provinces and Generalties of the Kingdom, to cause the present Declaration to be executed, being published and affixed in all the Places where need shall be, that no Body should be ignorant thereof.
