To the taxors and collectors of the fifteenth in co. Middlesex.

As the king wishes to be fully certified in this matter, he orders the taxors and collectors to supersede entirely until three weeks from St. Hilary next the levying and collecting of the fifteenth from the said goods of the dean and chapter, so that there may then be done in this matter what the king shall cause to be ordained by his council.
