Whereas the king is indebted to divers men of the realm, both men of religion and others ecclesiastics as well as laymen, in divers debts for prises taken from them for his use from wool, hides, skins and other small things after the war between him and the king of France, and also for money and money's worth (denaratis) taken for his use by search in abbeys and other houses of religion, hospitals, churches and elsewhere in the realm, for which they have not yet been satisfied: the king orders the treasurer and barons of the exchequer to cause suitable satisfaction to be made to all those of the realm, both men of religion and others, clerks or laymen, or their successors or executors or heirs or assigns, who can prove by the letters or tallies of the king or of those whom he appointed to take such wool, hides, skins and other small things and also money and money's worth, or by rolls, inquisitions, certificates, or other their memoranda whatsoever in the exchequer, or otherwise before the treasurer and barons that any such prises were taken from them for the king's use for which they have not yet been satisfied, for the things and goods thus taken from them by a sufficient payment or certain assignment to be made to them or their successors or executors or their heirs or assigns, or by way of allowance of debts that they or any others to whom they will look owe to the king for any reason, or in any other way, also allowance or recompense for fines that they have made with him for graces or other things obtained from him (impetracionibus) or made in his court, or that they or their successors or executors or heirs or assigns or others shall make with the king for graces or other things obtained in his court that they shall obtain or do henceforth; so that the king may be acquitted as against the men to whom he is still bound, as the treasurer and barons shall deem best to ordain for the king's discharge in this behalf, and to cause all those whose fines or debts they shall thus assign to be acquitted thereof at the exchequer against the king.
