THe Queenes most excellent Maiesty hauing found by exprience oflats yeeres, since the time that shee hath had cause to send extraordinarie summes of moneys into her Realme of Ireland, for the payment of the great Forces which there she mainteineth, that infinite discommodities and losse doth arise to this her Realme of England by transporting of the sterling moneys of this Realme into Ireland, for that the same do for the most part either come into the hands of the Rebels, whereby they are en­abled to continue their wicked and detestable rebellion and treasons (pro­uiding themselues by the helpe of those moneys of armes and munitions of warres from forreigne parts) or els are transported from thence into other Countreys by Merchants for lacke of commodities whereon to imploy them, and hereby this Realme exhausted of the treasure which should be kept within the same: Her Maiestie also finding by the lawes of this Realme in the times of her Progenitours made, and specially by one Act of Parliament made in the nineteenth yeere of her Nighnesse grandfather of famous memory, king Henry the seuenth, (yet continuing in force and effect) that for like inconueniences then felt, the transportation of moneys out of this Realme into Ireland was expresly and seuerely forbidden, under great penalties: Her Highnesse hath thought good, for remedy of the like inconueniences in time to come, to put in execution those former lawes restraining the transportation of moneys into Ireland. Wherefore her Maiestie doeth straightly charge and com­mand all Iudges, Iustices, Magistrates and Officers to whom it shall appertaine, to see seuere and due execution of such lawes as doe prohibit the transportation of her coines of England into Ireland, and namely the sayd statute made in the nineteenth yeere of the reigne of her Maiesties grandfather, and doth also by this Proclamation admonish all her louing subiects of both her Realmes, and all others, trading in her Realme of Ireland, that they shall from hencefoorth forbeare all transportation of moneys of England, into Ireland, contrary to the sayd lawes and statues, for that her Maiestie will cause the former lawes and statutes prohibiting the sayd transportation of money to be so straightly looked vnto, and executed, as the penalties thereof shall fall heauily vpon the offenders against the same, without any hope of remission.

Giuen vnder our signe manuell, at our Manour of Greenewich, the third day of Iuly, in the three and fortieth yeere of our reigne.
