by processes thereupon at the exchequer, and although a very great number
of the said men have been destroyed by the last mortal pestilence and those
who survive are reduced to the greatest penury for lack of servants and by
the wasting of the lands of the island by sea floods and by other misfortunes,

last granted, the said collectors intend to charge them in accordance with
the ancient tax, whereupon they have besought the king to provide a
remedy. By K. and C. |
