April 14. Westminster. |
To the sheriff of Lincoln. Order to give notice to Th. archbishop of Canterbury to be in chancery on the morrow of the
Ascension next, to shew cause wherefore there ought not to be a
stay pending the appeal of John Barowe chaplain, claiming to be
vicar of St. James Grymesby in the diocese of Lincoln, writ of
supersedeas, and order by mainprise of John Benelandes, John
Gasegill, both of Yorkshire, William Symond of Lincolnshire and
Thomas Bradley of London to set the appellant free, if taken;
as at the request of the archbishop, signifying that by his authority
as ordinary, by reason of his late metropolitan visitation in the
city and diocese of Lincoln, John Barowe was excommunicated
for contumacy, neither would he be justified by censure of the
church, the king commanded the sheriff to justify him by his
body until he should content holy church for his contempt and
wrongdoing; but he has appealed to the papal see, and is minded
to prosecute his appeal as he avers, and the king has given him
the day aforesaid; and John Benelandes and the others have
mainperned in chancery to have him there at that day, and that
he shall prosecute his appeal. |
April 9. Westminster. |
To the sheriffs of London. Order to cause proclamation to be
made of the king's grace and pardon, giving notice to the lieges
severally before the octaves of St. Peter's Chains to sue for charters
of pardon, if they shall think fit; as with his mind's eye the king
sees what evils of discord have arisen in England in time of
divers kings, not without great destruction of the lieges, and now
the king of peace and lord of lords has raised the king to the royal
dignity, with the banners of peace stilling of his mercy the
whirlwinds of discord in the realm, and he is assured that it will
be pleasing to God and most agreeable to peace that he shall
give all his lieges of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland who
desire the same to drink of his grace, that the good may rejoice
and abide the firmer in faith and love toward him, and rebels
and evildoers may speedily return to his allegiance; and therefore
the king has pardoned them for all treasons, insurrections, rebellions and felonies heretofore committed for which they be indicted
or appealed, murder and rape excepted, and all outlawries
published against them, granting them his peace, provided they
be not his provers, or condemned men, or in prison without
mainprise or bail, or the officers or ministers of the mistery of the
mint, coinage or exchange in the Tower and city of London and
in Calais who have found no security that they shall stand to right
touching what shall be laid against them, whom because of
certain defaults and impeachments charged against them in the
late king's last parliament, whereof they are not yet fully excused,
the king will not suffer to enjoy this pardon, for that those
impeachments do concern the common weal, and provided
they stand to right in chancery if any man will imparle them, and
saving to the king any forfeitures to him of lands and goods by
them incurred. By K. |
