goods and merchandise which thereby or by other inquisition or

come not a second time to the king's ears; as in the said truce it is
contained that while the truce shall endure all men of either party
may have communication with one another by land and sea, castles
and fortified towns excepted, and that in case any ship on one side
or the other be driven by storm or other need to touch in any ports
in England or Scotland, the same may peaceably there touch, abide
and rest, be furnished with victuals for a competent time, and freely
return thence with goods and people without arrest or hindrance;

things. By K. and C. |
