To the chancellor and proctors of the university of Oxford. Order,
upon petition of John Ripplay clerk, to restore him to his former
estate and admit him to scholastic acts, notwithstanding the banishment by them pronounced and published against him, and order at
their peril to the chancellor and proctors, their commissaries or deputies
and successors, the masters whatsoever regent and non-regent, and
other the officers, ministers and scholars of the university under pain
of the king's wrath to cause him no trouble or grievance, and suffer
none to be caused him, for the aforesaid cause or by other reprobation
of his person which in anywise concerns the banishment aforesaid,
but rather to ensue and with all their might to preserve such things
as belong to the unity and peace of the university; as his complaint
shews that on Tuesday in the fourth week after Easter last seven
scholars of the northern parts lately dwelling in a hall of the university
went forth into the fields with bows and hounds for hunting and sport,
that at no small space without the town they were suddenly attacked
by scholars of Wales, in number about forty, wherefore a loud report
came to the town that the seven were slain, that six companions of the
petitioner with others of the university repaired to the seven for
rescue to save them alive, that upon pretext of that rescue the scholars
of Wales, being tempted of the devil, came after curfew with all their
power to the hall wherein the said John dwelt, by force of arms broke
the doors thereof, although strong and bolted, in order to slay him and
other his fellows if any were there found, but found no man, and that
although he is innocent of such riot, as he is ready to prove, at the
perverse instigation of certain his enemies, averring of malice that
the peace of the university was by him broken, which it was not, the
chancellor and proctors have convicted him in his absence as one
of the said seven scholars of breach of the peace, and in the market
place, although that is not the usual or appointed place, without
summons or other due process have unlawfully banished him, and
proclaimed and published his banishment, to the no small disturbance
of other scholars who would flock thither for the sake of learning,
praying for remedy, inasmuch as by reason of his banishment he dare
not repair thither to keep his acts; and the king's will is that, if the
premises be true, he shall not be banished nor his good name blackened. |

the king. By C. in parl. |
