HONI SOIT QVI MAL Y PENSE ¶ By the King A Proclamation for the better setling of his Maiesties Manufacture of Gold and Siluer thread within this his Realme WHereas the Art or Mysterie of making Gold and Siluer threed a commoditie of continuall vse in this Our Kingdome of England hath formerly beene vsed and made by Strangers in forreine parts only and from thence transported into this Our Realme but of late hath beene practised by some of Our louing Subiects who by their great charge and industrie haue so well profited therein and attained to such perfection in that Arte that they equall the Strangers in the skilfull making thereof and are able by the labours of our owne people to make such store as shall be sufficient to furnish the expence of this whole Kingdome And whereas We esteeming it a principall part of Our Office as a King and Soueraigne Prince to cherish and encourage the Knowledge and Inuention of good and profitable Arts and Mysteries and to make them frequent amongst Our owne people especially such wherein Our people may employ their labours comfortably and profitably and many thereby may be kept from idlenesse hereby to preserue and increase the Honour and wealth of Our State and people And finding that the exercising of this Arte or Mysterie considering the continuall vse of Bullion to be spent in the Manufacture thereof is a matter of great importance and therefore fitter for Our own immediate care then to be trusted into the hands of any priuate persons for that the Consumption or preseruation of Bullion wherof Our Coynes the sinewes and strength of Our State are made is a matter of so high onsequence as it is onely proper for Our selfe to take care and account of Wee haue heretofore to the good liking of the Inuentors thereof taken the said Manufacture of Gold Siluer threed into Our owne hands and so purpose to retaine and continue it to be exercised only by Agents for Our selues who shall from time to time be accomptable to Vs for the same And whereas for the better perfecting of so Royall a Worke by Our Proclamation Dated the two and twentieth day of March in the fifteenth yeere of Our Raigne of England Wee did vtterly prohibite the Importation of all forraine Gold and siluer threed made in any the parts beyond the Seas and the vse of any other Gold or Siluer threed then such as should from time to time be Sealed with a Seale to be to that purpose appointed therby to discouer all false counterfeit and prohibited Stuffe whereby either Our louing Subiects might be abused or Our selues deluded as by the same Proclamation appeareth which Wee will and Command and Our expresse pleasure is shall in all things be firmely obserued and kept according to the purport and true meaning thereof and of Our Royall intent and pleasure therein expressed Now forasmuch as Wee find that notwithstanding Our Proclamation many haue aduentured secretly and by stealth to import Gold and Siluer threed from forraine parts and many others to make the same within this Realme not being thereunto allowed by Vs or Our Agents and to vtter the same to diuers of Our louing Subiects not being Sealed with the Seale to that purpose appointed whereby Wee finde that Our owne Agents and workemen imployed about the said Manufacture are discouraged and much false and counterfeit Stuffe is vented to the great deceit of Our Subiects scandall of the worke and Our owne proper losse and yet the Offenders therein cannot easily be discouered whereby they might be punished according to their demerits for that the Silkemen and Silke weauers and others who buy and vse the said Gould and Siluer threed are vnwilling to discouer such Offenders and as We haue cause to feare doe rather encourage them in their offence in contempt of Vs and Our proceedings To the end therefore that this Our worke which We haue appropriated to Our selfe may prosper in Our hands and neither Our Agents be discouraged nor the worke discountenanced by the making working or vttering any false counterfeit or prohibited Stuffe and that those whom We haue trusted and imployed therein may also performe their duties iustly and faithfully without iust grieuance or offence to any of Our louing Subiects We doe hereby straightly charge and Command That all Silkemen Silkeweauers and all and euery person and persons who now vse or hereafter shall vse the Arte Mysterie Trade or Occupation of making working selling or vttering of any Lace Buttons or any other thing or things whatsoeuer in all or in part wrought of or with Gold or Siluer threed or of or with Copper Gold or Siluer threed shall from time to time take and keepe a true iust and exact accompt in writing of all the names professions and habitations of all and euery person and persons of whom they or any of them shal from time to time buy or receiue any Gold or Siluer Threed or Copper Gold or Siluer Threed or any thing wrought or made in all or in part therewith with the time and times and seuerall quantities when and what they so bought or receiued the same Which said Account they and euery of them shall once a moneth deliuer vnto a Register to bee to that purpose appointed by some of Our Commissioners for the said Manufacture that so the offenders against Our former and this present Proclamation may be the better discouered and their offences seuerely punished as being a high Contempt against Vs and Our Prerogatiue Royall For the due performance whereof and to preuent the Inconueniences that may ensue Our will and pleasure is and Wee doe hereby straitly charge and command That all and euery the persons aforesaid shall enter into Bond of one hundred or two hundred pounds a piece and not aboue as shal be thought fitt by Our Commissioners appointed for the said Manufacture now or that hereafter shal be or any two of them to Our Atturney Generall for the time being in trust for Vs with condition to performe all and euery the particulars in the former Clause expressed and commanded vpon the paines hereafter limited which We will shall be seuerely inflicted on them And further We will and Command that no Fynor or Fynors of Gold or Siluer shal at any time or times hereafter melt disgrosse or sell or cause to be molten disgrossed or sold any refined Gold or Siluer to any person or persons whatsoeuer other then to Our Agent and vndertakers for our said manufacture vntill he or they shall haue first entred into Bond to vs of one hundred pounds or more before our said Commissioners or any two of them to our vse to melt none of Our Coines for the making of refined Gold or Siluer and from time to time to giue a true accompt in writing of all the Names Professions and habitations of euery such person and persons as shall from time to time buy or haue any refined Gold or Siluer of
