To the taxers and collectors in co. Oxford of the triennial tenth and fifteenth granted by the laity. Order not to molest the master and brethren of the hospital of St. John without the east gate, Oxford, in their goods in that county, because the king has learned that the hospital was founded by Henry III, and is so slenderly endowed that the goods hardly suffice for the maintenance of the master and brethren and of the poor and infirm there, and if the hospital is charged with the aids granted by the community of the realm, it will behove the master and brethren to diminish the said alms. By C.
