Order to all sheriffs and bailiffs to arrest Robert de Kenynton and Benedict de Offord, friars of the order of Preachers, who, as the king understands from Thomas de Jorz, provincial prior of that order in England, have cast off their habit and are vagabonds in the realm, to the danger of their souls and the scandal of their order. Intimation will be given of their whereabouts by the said provincial prior or some conventual prior, and they are to be arrested wherever found, saving always the immunity of a church, and to be delivered to one of their priors, who are enabled by papal authority to take, bind and incarcerate such persons, or otherwise subject them to the rigour of discipline.
