It is not the king's intention, and he does not wish it to be the warden's (vestre) intention, that any ship loaded by the king or by any merchants to go to Gascony shall not (sic) be arrested or in any way hindered from going to Gascony, but the owners of such ships shall be warned and specially charged on the king's behalf to cause their ships to come to the said day and place if they return in time; if they do not return in time, the owners shall cause them to come thither as speedily as possible.
