To R. count of Flanders. The king has received his letters requesting him to release Perottus Loef, burgess of Sluys (Lescluse), and his fellows of the parts of Flanders, from prison at Norwich, whom the count learns are faithful merchants; the king upon another occasion released, at the count's request, many of his subjects who were found in the company of the Scotch rebels, and requested the count to warn his subjects not to communicate with the said rebels, nor to maintain them in any way, adding that if any of the count's subjects communicated with the Scots, or were found in their company, he would in no wise shew them favour. The king cannot at present release Perrottus and his fellows, because they notoriously communicated with the rebels afterwards, and maintained them for a long time, and were found in their company, adhering to them in all things. The king believes that the count would not intercede for Perrottus and his fellows if he were acquainted with the malice perpetrated by them against the king, and he therefore prays the count to hold him excused in the premises.
