❧ By the King ¶ A Proclamation for the well ordering and setling the Manufacture of Soape vnder a Rule and Gouernment WHereas Wee haue heretofore declared by sundry Proclamations Our Princely care for the aduancement of the natiue Commodities of Our Kingdomes the imployment of many of Our poore people and for the reformation of diuers former Abuses in making and vttering of Soape to which end Wee haue reduced the manufacture thereof vnder the rule and gouernment of the Society of Soape-makers of Westminster formerly established by our letters Patents And haue notwithstanding found by dayly experience that many factious and refractorie persons forgetting the naturall dutie and obedience which they owe to our Royall Commandements haue not onely frequently disobeyed the same but haue also studied and practised diuers new wayes to hinder the due and orderly managing of so necessary a Worke and thereby to frustrate Our good and gracious intentions towards Our louing Subiects for remedie whereof and for the better preuenting and suppressing the practises of such malicious persons in their lewde attempts Wee haue resolued with the aduise of Our Priuie Councill to settle and establish the manufacture of Soape vnder a rule and gouernment Wee doe therefore hereby straightly charge and command that no person or persons of what quality or condition soeuer other then such who are or shal be free of the Company of Gouernour Assistants and Fellowes of the Society of Soape makers of Westminster or such who shall make Soape by and vnder the rule and gouernment of the said Company doe at any time hereafter presume to make or suffer to be made any kinde of Soape or doe make prepare or draw or suffer to be made prepared or drawne any Lees for the making of any kinde of Soape whatsoeuer in their priuate houses or doe make prepare or draw or cause to be made prepared or drawne any Soape or Lees in any other place or places whatsoeuer either for their owne vse or otherwise

such Soape and Lees respectiuely to take seize and carry away And afterwards to destroy the same or otherwise to reboyle or amend to make them vsefull and serviceable And because the said Gouernour Assistants and Fellowship of Soape-makers are forced to be at excessiue Charges by imployment of seuerall men in searching seizing and other discouery of Soape made or put to Sale contrary to the
