To the sheriff of Lincoln. Order to cause proclamation to be made in cities, boroughs, market towns and other places that he shall deem fit that all merchants and others who wish to sell victuals and other necessaries shall take them to Berwick-on-Tweed by land and by sea against the arrival there of the king and his army at Midsummer, and to induce them to do this by all ways and means that he shall see fit and to require them specially on the king's behalf, if need be, promising them faithfully that they shall find good sale (deliberacionem) for the victuals and other necessaries when they come thither and also prompt satisfaction for the price thereof, and that the king will cause them to be kept harmless in all things. He is enjoined to execute this order in such manner that the king shall recognize the effects of his intervention. He is directed to certify the king of his proceedings in this matter as speedily as possible.
