Jan. 3. Windsor.	To the collectors of customs in the port of London. Order to deliver to Master Paul de Monte Florum, the king's clerk, or his attorney, 29 sacks of wool, by indenture, in part satisfaction of 1,000 sacks remaining of 2,000 sacks which the king gave him leave to take to parts beyond the sea, in part satisfaction of great sums which he lent to the king, and to permit him to take the wool to the said parts without paying custom or subsidy thereon, because the king wishes that of the 25 sacks and 40 cloves of wool, which Robert bishop of Chichester granted to him, and the 3 sacks and 34 cloves which the abbot of Westminster owes for part payment of a certain sum of money in which he is bound to the king, 29 sacks should be delivered to Paul.
