By the King.  
¶ A Proclamation restraining the carrying of munition to Algeeres and Tunis.  
THE Kings most Excellent Majesty taking knowledge, aswell by the advertisements of diverse foreign Princes and States, and of their Ambassadors, as by the woeful complaints of many of his own good Subjects, that sustain great and continual losses by Pirates, and Sea-rovers usually retiring to, & harbouring themselves at Algeers, & Tunis, That the said Pirates & Sea-rovers receive great comfort & encouragement by an abusive Trade that some Merchants out of greediness, & for unjust lucre do maintain at Algeers, & Tunis, for weapons, Gunpowder, shot, and other munition of all sorts, wherewith those common enemies of mankind do daily invade the Subjects of His Majesty & other Christian Princes, Hath thought it agreeable to His own justice and Honour to forewarn, that none of His Subjects, from henceforth, have any hand in a course so unjust.  
And therefore His Majesty doth hereby straitely charge and command, That none of His Majesty's Subjects whatsoever, do at any time hereafter carry or import unto the said Town or Port of Algeers, & Tunis, any Gunpowder, shot, armour, weapons, munition or victuals whatsoever upon pain to incur His Majesty's indignation & highest displeasure, and to endure the severest chastisements that so high an offence may deserve to be inflicted on them by His Majesty's Laws or Kingly Prerogative.  
Given at the Court at Whitehall, the sixth day of April, in the one and twentieth year of Our Reign of Great Britain, France and Ireland.  
God save the King.
