April 5.
St. Albans. |
To the provincial of the order of friars preachers, and to all
priors and friars of that order who are in England and who
dwell there. Order forbidding them upon their allegiance and
under pain of forfeiture under any pretence or any cover of
excuse or subtilty to send out of the realm to the provincial
general of the order dwelling in foreign parts any sums of money
by reason of any impost by him now or hereafter laid upon
them or upon the order, knowing of a surety that, if they shall so
do, the king will be so wroth with them according to their
rebellion and wickedness as men who despise his command that
their punishment shall deter such offences; as by report of many
the king has learned that the provincial general, scheming unduly
to aggrieve the lieges of the order who have their conversation in
England, and to withdraw and exhaust the king's treasure, not of
zeal for religion but rather impelled by covetousness, is minded
speedily to lay upon them excessive imposts, and to levy the same
in the realm; and the king's will is to provide against such hurt
and prejudice, which redounds notoriously to weakening of the
realm, as he is bound to do. By K. |
