To the sheriff of Lincoln. The complaint of the prelates, nobles, and
people of England in the present parliament at Westminster contains that
merchants and others bring a false money counterfeit of the sterling, called
'lussheburghs,' to England and other false money, and they take the good
money of sterling out of the realm, so that the false money is so increased
and the good so diminished that the good, once taken out of the realm, is
not brought back and there are hardly any buying and sales without a
mixture of false, and merchants and others of cities, boroughs, and ports
and some other places claiming liberties and customs, seize upon the wine,
goods of price, cloth and other things brought to the realm by foreign
merchants only paying what they please therefor and do not permit those
foreign merchants to buy wool, cloth or other merchandise in the realm
unless they first extort illicit gains from them, and so such merchants
have ceased to come with their goods, and by deliberation of the council in
the said parliament the king has ordained an order that the said false
money shall be destroyed where possible and the good money shall remain
in the realm, certain lawful men shall be appointed in all ports of the
realm where ships come, to make diligent scrutiny in ships, chests, coffers,
sacks, etc. where such false money may be hidden, and upon the persons
of those coming from parts beyond and those crossing from the said ports
to those parts, and if they find false money or good money beyond what is
necessary for the expenses of those crossing, they shall arrest the same,
and shall send two parts of the false money to the Tower of London, to be
delivered to the keeper of the exchanges there, and they shall retain a third
part which the king grants to them as a gift for their diligence and labour,
and they shall keep the good money until further order, and certain
magnates shall be appointed to enquire in all the counties of the
realm concerning those who bring false money and who take away
the sterlings and to punish them, and the justices of assize in
the counties shall likewise make such enquiry, and for every sack
of wool taken out of the realm, those who take it shall bring to the
exchange a plate of silver of the value of 2 marks of the weight of the
Tower of London, within half a year at most after the wool has been taken,
after the wool has been sold, to be delivered to the keeper of the exchange
upon pain of 4 marks for every plate not so brought, for which they shall
receive prompt payment of sterlings within ten days, and that the collectors
of customs in all ports and places where wool is taken shall receive the said
security, for which they shall answer at their peril, and foreign merchants
shall come with their wine, cloth and other things, without hindrance and
sell them there, and shall buy wool, cloth and other things in the realm
freely and take them to the staple, except wine and corn, if they do not sell
them to the king's enemies without the truces, in accordance with the
statute ordained in the parliament held at York in the 9th year of the
reign: the king therefore orders the sheriff upon sight of these presents to
cause the said ordinance to be proclaimed and observed. |

To J. archbishop of Canterbury. Summons to attend a parliament to
be held at Westminster on Monday after Sunday in Mid Lent next,
warning the prior and chapter of Christ Church, Canterbury, the archdeacons and the clergy of the diocese to attend the said parliament, the
prior and archdeacons in person and the clergy and chapter by their
proctors, as it was agreed by the truce made at Calais that envoys should
be sent by the king and his adversary of France to the apostolic see, during
that truce, to treat of a final peace, and upon this the king sent certain
envoys to the apostolic see about the feast of St. Andrew last, hoping to
have received a certain answer from them in the last parliament held at
Westminster, and he has not yet received anything certain, wherefore he
has hitherto suspended the sending of more solemn envoys, and because
the king expects shortly to hear from those envoys, and because his
adversary, contrary to the form of the truce, is preparing a great multitude
of men at arms and others and of ships and galleys to invade the realm,
the king wishes to hold the said parliament. By K. |
