To Guy de Briene and John de Sees. Prohibition, under pain of forfeiture, of any attempt derogatory to the king's right or tending to impair a judgment rendered in the king's court by his justices of the Bench, commanding them to stay altogether the processes begun at the papal court by reason of a papal provision to Thomas David of the archdeaconry of Cornwall at the time William de Cusancia then the king's clerk held the same by the king's collation, and the levying of 4001. for that cause, and to cause the sums paid by Nicholas de Neuton to the proctors of the said Thomas, and all issues and profits of the said archdeaconry by the said Guy and John or their men levied and received, to be restored to the said Nicholas, and all other attempts made by virtue of the said processes to be revoked; as lately while the temporalities of the bishopric of Exeter were in the king's hand, the said archdeaconry being void and for that reason in the king's gift, the king collated the said William thereto, and although the king by the judgment aforesaid recovered the presentation to that archdeaconry against the said Thomas, and William was canonically admitted by the diocesan and instituted, and was in peaceable possession until he exchanged the same for the church of Marteleye whereof the said Nicholas was parson, the said Guy, by pretence of a provision by him obtained when sent to the papal see on the king's message, when the king's said clerk was in possession in the king's right, (a fact not unknown to Guy, as the temporalities were in the king's hand and in Guy's keeping by the king's commission, knowing also that a papal provision might not take place in benefices belonging to the king's collation,) and by colour of proceedings in the court of Rome at the suit of Thomas by Guy maintained against William and sent to Guy for execution, thrust out Nicholas (who at his coming had the cause of William in the archdeaconry by reason of the exchange) and in the name of Thomas occupied the same, caused the issues and profits thereof to be levied, and is striving by censures of the court of Rome to levy 4001. adjudged to Thomas in that court, though Thomas was outlawed and put out of the king's protection by reason of that suit against the king and his right, and has caused Nicholas to pay many sums of money in the court of Rome to the said proctors for their pains at the time when Guy was last the king's messenger there, and otherwise has stirred up Thomas against the king to the prejudice of the crown and contrary to his allegiance, whereat the king is moved to anger.
