Dec. 31. Langley.	To the same. Order to permit Godekinus de Revle, the king's merchant, in his name and the names of William de Wynthorp, Roger Pape, Robert Stuffyn, Richard de Burton, Roger de Codyngton and Ralph de Derby to lade what remains to be laded in that port of 1,155 sacks of wool, without paying the custom and subsidy thereon, and to take them to parts beyond the sea, in accordance with the king's grant to them to take 600, 120, 100, 60, 140, 55 and 80 sacks respectively, because they satisfied the king for the custom and subsidy due thereon, and the king ordered the collectors to permit Godekinus to take that wool as aforesaid, and now the king has learned that Godekinus is hindered from doing this by reason of an ordinance of the king and his council, and the king wishes the order to have effect in consideration of his urgent need for money and that if Godekinus and the others are prevented from taking that wool, they and other merchants will withdraw from making such aids in the king's necessities.
