To G. the pope. He lately ordered the king by his letters to cause to be assigned in full to Master R. de Nogeriis, the pope's chaplain, the yearly census in which the pope asserts that the king is bound to the Roman church by reason of his realm of England, for the last eight years, and the king lately received other letters of the pope's containing that whereas the king caused the answer to the petition for payment of the said census, which the said chaplain had expounded to him, to be reserved for deliberation of the council of proceres of the realm in parliament, which is usually celebrated in England about the octaves of the Resurrection, because at the time of the receipt of the said letters the king had newly undertaken the government of his realm, the king would now cause full satisfaction to be made to the said chaplain for the census without further delay. The king confesses that he called together the prelates and proceres of his realm in the octaves of the Resurrection last, and that he there ordained many things concerning the amelioration of the state of the English church and the reform of the realm, and for the increase of the profit of the people, but before he was able to conclude the said parliament by reason of the multitude of matters needing reformation, the said chaplain meanwhile beseeching that due answer should be made to him, the king was seized with a serious bodily illness, which much impeded the completion of many other matters and the deliberation upon the petition aforesaid, for which the king grieves, and so the parliament was dissolved by reason of the said illness, from which the king begins to recover. For this reason the king was unable to have deliberation with the prelates and proceres concerning the petition, without whose counsel the king cannot answer the pope in this matter, and he is bound by the oath taken at his coronation to preserve uninjured the rights of his realm, and not to do anything touching the crown of the realm without requesting their counsel. The king therefore requests the pope not to be annoyed because he cannot answer at present as the pope desires, and to hold him excused. The king wishes him to know for certain that in the next parliament, which he intends celebrating before Michaelmas, he will, after he have had and communicated counsel with the prelates and proceres, give the pope an answer by their council. [Parl. Writs; Prynne, Records, iii. 158.]

It is provided that another charter of Hagin's now in the treasury, which was taken into the king's hands for his tallage, shall be delivered to the queen up to the said sum.
