LEWIS, by the Grace of GOD, King of France and Navar, to all to whom these Presents shall come, Greeting, Whereas by our Declaration of the 23d of November last, we forbad all our Subjects, of what Quality or Condition soever, to settle in the Principality of Orange, or to Perform any Exercise of the Pretended Reformed Religion there; and at the same time, we gave them leave to reside there, so long as their Affairs, or their Trade should require. But being given to understand, that several disaffected New Converts abus'd that Liberty, and under the false Pretence of Trade, which nevertheless they do not follow, repair to the City of Orange, there to perform the Exercises of the said Pretended Re∣formed Religion, in defiance of our Prohibition: And though it be our intention, that our People should enjoy all the Advantages they can expect from the Peace; and to favour Trade as much as it is possible for us to do, by giving all the Encouragements necessary for the carrying of it on, with the greatest Success: Nevertheless, as it would not be just that those of our Subjects who are refra∣ctory to our Orders, should abuse the specious Pretence of Trade to evade the Execution of our Declarations, we thought it Neces∣sary to Explain our Meaning more precisely, touching the Manner of their Trading, for the future, within the Principality of Orange; to the end that they who have no other aim then to drive a Trade bona fide, may do it more freely, and without fear of the Penalties mentioned in our Declarations. For these Causes, conformable to our said Declaration of the 23d of November last, we have, and do permit by these Presents, sign'd with our Hand, all our ancient Catholick Subjects to Traffick and Trade in all manner of Goods and Merchandise in the Principality of Orange, upon Condition however, that before they set out for that Principality, they ask leave of our Governors, Commanders, or Intendants of our Pro∣vinces, where they shall have their Abodes; to whom they shall declare the Nature and Condition of their Trade, which being done, leave shall be granted them without any scruple; and when they shall arrive in the Province the nearest to that Principality, they shall shew their License to the Governor, Commander, or Inten∣dant, under the following Penalties to be inflicted upon those who shall presume to go into the said Principality without Licenses; viz. the Men to be Condemn'd to the Galleys for their Lives; the Women to be five Years Imprison'd, and to pay a Forfeiture of
