Rh no conſtable ſhall diſtrain any knight to give money for the keeping of his caſtle, if he himſelf will do it in his own proper perſon, or by another ſufficient man, if he may not do it himſelf for a reaſonable cauſe. And if the King lead him in his army, he ſhall be diſcharged of caſtleward for the time.

ſheriff or bailiff of the King, nor any other perſon, ſhall take the horſes or carts of any freeman to make carriage without his leave.

Kings nor his bailiffs, ſhall not take any man’s wood for caſtles or other occaſions, but by licence of him whoſe the wood is.

the King do not hold the lands of them that be convicted of felony, longer than a year and a day; after which they ſhall be delivered to the lord of the fee.

all wears from henceforth be utterly put down in Thames and Medway, and throughout all England.
