instructions of 21st March 1662 he was empowered to search ships
suspected of trading with the Spaniards and to adjudicate the same in
the Admiralty Court. A fortnight later, however, the King and Council
seem to have completely changed their point of view, and this too in
spite of the Navigation Laws which prohibited the colonies from trading
with any but the mother-country.]

wished to hear from His Majesty's own lips" (wrote the Venetian
ambassador in November 1604), "how he read the clause about the India
navigation, and I said, 'Sire, your subjects may trade with Spain and
Flanders but not with the Indies.' 'Why not?' said the King. 'Because,'
I replied, 'the clause is read in that sense.' 'They are making a great
error, whoever they are that hold this view,' said His Majesty; 'the
meaning is quite clear.'"]
