The certificate of the vicar general of London containing the archbishop's mandate

Reverendissimo in Christo patri ac domino Domino Henrico, Dei gratia Cantuariensi Archiepiscopo, totius Angliae primati et apostolicae sedis legato, vestrisve in hac parte locum tenentibus seu commissariis quibuscunque Richardus Bruton ecclesiae cathedralis Wellensis cancellarius, reverendi in Christo patris ac domini Domini Richardi, Dei gratia Londoniensis episcopi, in remotis agentis vicarii in spiritualibus generalis oboedientiam et reverentiam tanto patri debitam cum honore. Mandatum vestrum undecimo die mensis Octobris proximo praeterito [11 October 1416] cum reverentia qua decuit recepimus tenorem continens subsequentem:

Henricus, permissione divina Cantuariensis archiepiscopus, totius Angliae primas et apostolicae sedis legatus, venerabili fratri nostro Domino Richardo, Dei gratia Londoniensi episcopo seu ipso in remotis agente eius vicario in spiritualibus generali salutem et sinceram in Domino caritatem. Urgens causarum negotiorum et rerum ingruentium necessitas et ut speramus Ecclesiae Anglicanae necnon regis et regni Angliae utilitas nos impellunt ut fratres et clerum nostrae provinciae quorum consilio in arduis procedere intendimus in locum unum pro temporis op[p]ortunitate pariter convocemus.
