To Simon de Burley justice of Suthwales. Order to cause the liberties and customs to be preserved as used heretofore to be notwithstanding the king's confirmation of certain liberties by his noble forefathers granted to the church of St. Davids, suffering not the bishop of St. David's to do aught to the king's prejudice beyond what he ought thereby to do ; as it was never the king's intent to grant the bishop other liberties than those aforesaid, but by colour of his confirmation the bishop is using others to the king's prejudice, otherwise than by the said grants he reasonably might. By p.s. [8241.] [Fadera.]
