use, in Our name deputed, that they should deliver unto you, by
indenture between you and them thereof to be made, all moneys of
fines and suchlike redemptions in the lands aforesaid, which they have
hitherto received and henceforth shall happen to collect and receive:
We straitly command you that you receive from them, by indenture
between you and them thereof to be made, all sums of money which
the new Receivors will deliver unto you in this behalf, and that you
safeguard them until you shall have other commands from Us concerning the same. Witness Myself at Westminster, the 19th day of
