To all sheriffs, mayors, bailiffs and other ministers of the king to
whom etc. Order from time to time, when by the friars of the order
of mendicants required, to cause proclamation to be made that no
man at his peril and under pain of the king's wrath shall secretly or
openly hold, maintain, teach or pertinaciously defend wicked and
nefarious opinions contrary to sacred doctrine, repugnant to the canons,
decrees and sanctions of holy church and redounding to the scandal
and reproach of that order; as the king has information that in churches
and privy places certain men of ill will do preach such opinions and
detestable conclusions, whereby the vows of the faithful and alms
of the devout are withdrawn from the said friars; and the king's will
is to resist their malice, and to cherish the said order, that they may
serve God and the church in orisons and prayers. By C. |
