To the sheriff of York. Whereas the king, at the request of W. archbishop of York, ordered the sheriff to remove all lay force holding itself in

spiritual office; and afterwards, because the sheriff returned that divers
armed men of cos. Northumberland. Cumberland, and Westmoreland, and
of the parts of Scotland held themselves in the church aforesaid so that the
sheriff was unable to execute the said order, the king ordered him to take
with him the posse of the county and to remove from the church all the lay
force therein; and now, as the king learns from the information of many
men that assemblies of men-at-arms were made on the archbishop's side and
on the side of L. bishop of Durham by reason of the disputes between them
concerning certain things touching their churches, and that such assemblies
are still made, to the disturbance of the king's peace and contrary to
the form of the statute of Northampton lately issued by the king, and the
