To S. archbishop of Canterbury. Summons to attend a parliament to be

touching the king and his realm after his accession have been hitherto
conducted to the king's damage and to the shame and impoverishment of
his people. The king has upon this occasion, by the assent of the prelates
and magnates, shortened the day of summons of the parliament by reason of
his great desire that the affairs touching the estate of the realm shall be
happily disposed, and he wills that this abridgment of notice shall not
prejudice any one or be drawn into a precedent (in consequentiam). The
