“...his Majesty's plantation beyond
the seas are inhabited and peopled by his subjects of this kingdom of
England; for the maintaining a greater correspondence and kindness
between them, and keeping them in a firmer dependence upon it, and
rendering them yet more beneficial and advantageous unto it...Be it
enacted, and it is hereby enacted...no commodity of the growth,
production, or manufacture of Europe shall be imported into any land,
island, plantation, colony, territory, or place to his Majesty's
belonging...”
Charles II, July 27, 1663
