Order to suffer all victuallers of England who will, as often as they please, to lade in that port any victuals and, without taking of them the said subsidy, to take the same to Berewic upon Twede for sustenance of the burgesses, commons and hired soldiers of the town and the king's castle there, and for furnishing other castles of the king and his lieges of those parts, provided such victuallers shall make oath and find security to take them thither and nowhere else under pain of forfeiting double.
