To John de Fienles. The king is given to understand that he receives
in his lordship of Picardy and cherishes and maintains Roger de Mortuo
Mari of Wyggemore, the king's enemy, who escaped from the Tower of
London, and other rebels who have likewise fled the realm, and the king is
the more astonished at this because John holds lands within his realm, and
the king has procured John's advantages and profits hitherto and confided
in him especially. As the king reputes the favourers and receivers of the
said rebels as adhering to them against him, he orders the said John to
arrest the aforesaid rebels if they have come to or can be found in his power,
and to send them to him, and not to aid or receive them in any way,
certifying the king by the bearer hereof of his proceedings. By K. |

To Master John de Stratford. Order not to bear into the realm,
prosecute, promote, or use by himself or by others, publicly or secretly,
without consulting the king, anything prejudicial to the king or his realm,
the laws or customs of the same, or the king's prerogatives, under pain of
forfeiture of all that he can forfeit, as the king understands that John,
acting fraudulently in the affairs committed to him by the king for the
profit of himself and his friends, not without the vice of ambition, has
procured for himself the contrary of the king's desire enjoined upon him
and expounded to him, and has obtained other things for himself and his
friends prejudicial and derogatory to the king and his crown and the rights
and laws of the realm, and intends to bring, prosecute, and promote them
in the realm. |

To the constable of Dover castle and the warden of the Cinque Ports, or
to him who supplies his place. Order to inhibit the said John and the

hereafter from bringing into the realm, prosecuting, promoting, or using
without consulting the king anything prejudicial to the king or his realm, the
laws or customs of the same, or the king's prerogatives, under pain of
forfeiture of all that they can forfeit. In order that the said John may be
unable to excuse himself by the pretext of ignorance, the constable is to
deliver to him by the witness of trustworthy men the king's writ directed
to him, which the king sends to the constable. The constable is ordered
to certify the king by letter of his proceedings in this matter, and of the
names of those whom he shall thus inhibit. |
