Order to supersede the demand made upon John de Pulteneye, citizen of London, for the ninth and fifteenth until the Decollation of St. John the Baptist next, restoring to him anything which has been levied, as the late king on 10 April in the 19th year of his reign granted to John that he should be quit for ever of all tallages and contributions, saving to the king his prises, debts and customs, and on 12 May in the 14th year of his reign, the present king ratified the said grant to John for his life notwithstanding any order or ordinance to the contrary made by the king or his council.
