Request to assist the against the evil-disposed persons of Flanders, Normandy, and other of the kingdom of France, who are preparing snares for the king the sea, perpetrating several evil deeds, and conspiring the repression the king and his, so that the said rivals shall have no naval assistance Alfonso's dominion; and if they make a passage with galleys and ships by the dominions (partes) of Alfonso, that he will be pleased to order them to be arrested; and that he will forbid his subjects to assist them with ships, arms or other necessaries, and to go to those parts, as if they do so they will expose themselves to great dangers, and the king does not wish any harm to happen to them; but if they wish to come to the places of the district, he will cause them to be favourably treated; and if Alfonso will be pleased to aid the king with galleys and ships well prepared and armed, to which the king incites him by his prayers, the king will be prepared to pay liberally for all, which things the king will always seek to do Alfonso in like case.
