Westminster.
To the collectors of customs and subsidies and the king's searcher in the port of London, Dovorre, Sandewich or Suthampton. Order without taking custom or subsidy to suffer Lewis bishop of Volterra, collector of the present pope in England, to lade in ships in one of those ports and send and take over to his own parts one tabernacle and one mitre set with precious stones, to be kept to his own use, also two cups with covers of silver gilt, and three pairs of knives with ornament of silver gilt, which in all exceed not the value of 100l. as he has borne true witness upon oath in chancery, any ordinances or commands of the king to the contrary notwithstanding.
