To the bailiffs and men of Great Yarmouth. Order to prepare, together with all others of the ports of Norfolk and Suffolk and of the other ports of - those parts, ships and men-at-arms in as great force as possible, so that they be ready when summoned by the king to repress the malice of the Flemings others, and of other enemies of the king, who understands that the and others lie in wait about the coast with a naval force for his and that they pursue the ships of his men and despoil them, and that they do not fear inflicting the last punishment upon innocent persons, sparing no man of this realm, and that they do not permit the victuals ordained for the war in Scotland to be taken to that land, so that it may conjectured that they are scheming, as aiders of the Scotch, to carry on war against the king at his back.
