Summary

The archbishop's mandate

Reverendo in Christo patri ac domino Domino Iohanni, Dei gratia Eliensi episcopo, Robertas, permissione divina Londoniensis episcopus, salutem et fraternae dilectionis continuum incrementum. Mandatum reverendissimi in Christopatris ac domini Domini Willelmi, Dei gratia Cantuariensis archiepiscopi, totius Angliae primatis et apostolicae sedis legati nuper recepimus in haec verba:

Willelmus, permissione divina Cantuariensis archiepiscopus, totius Angliae primas et apostolicae sedis legatus, venerabili fratri nostro Domino Roberto, Dei gratia Londoniensi episcopo, salutem et fraternam in Domino caritatem. Ex assumpta sollicitudine pastoralis officii multotiens cogimur inviti pro veritate temporum et urgentibus ecclesiae et regni negotiis cum praelatis et clero nostrae provinciae commune habere tractatum, istans enim rei publicae magna necessitas evidensque Ecclesiae Anglicanae sperata utilitas super agendis et tractandis in communi ad praesens versari credimus, precum etiam regiarum excitatio inevitabiliter nos impellunt praelatos et clerum nostrae provinciae antedictae iuxta effectum brevis regii in proximo convocare, cuius quidem brevis tenor talis est:

Richardus, Dei gratia rex Angliae et Franciae et dominus Hiberniae, venerabili in Christo patri Willelmo eadem gratia archiepiscopo Cantuariensi, totius Angliae primati salutem. Quia sicut satis clare scitis ad subeundem et supportandum sumptuosa et immensa onera quae nobis pro defensione et salvatione regni nostri ac ecclesiae sacrae post praesentes treugas et guerrarum abstimentias inter nos et adversarios nostros impune iunctas et signatas facere oportebit de bonis nostris absque fidelium ligeorum nostrorum adminiculo non sufficimus nee valemus, vobis in fide et dilectione quibus nobis tenemini rogando mandamus quatenus praemissis debito intuitu attentis etponderatis, suffraganeos vestros, decanos etpriores ecclesiarum cathedralium, abbates et priores et alios electivos, exemptos et non exemptos, necnon archidiaconos, capitula, conventus et collegia totumque clerum cuiuslibet diocesis vestrae provinciae ad comparendum coram vobis in ecclesia Sancti Pauli Londoniarum, vel alibi prout expedire videritis, die Lunae proximo post festum Sancti Martini proximo futurum [13 November 1391] more solito convocari faciatis et ipsos in hac parte ex causa praedicta ad subsidium in hoc casu competens et necessarium in supportationem dictorum omnium nobis concedendorum eos specialius et efficacius quo magis sciveritis aut poteritis inducatis et partes vestras ad hoc diligenter et effectualiter apponatis. Nos in cancellaria nostra de quantitate subsidii illius et de terminis solutionis eiusdem sub sigillo vestro distincte et aperte certificantes.
