(Latin. )] In order that a subsidy for the expedition against the Turks might be collected in England, the pope sent bulls thither ; but king Edward, studying how to anticipate their execution, asks the archbishop to call together a synod to obtain a certain subsidy to be sent to the pope. The tenor of the royal letters directed to the archbishop, drawn up in the English idiom, is this : ** The king sends a letter to the archbishop in EngHsh, dated at York the 11*^ day of June, wherein he gives... him to understand, that the pope determining to put his person into the blessed viage, by his holiness proposed, against the Turks, desired to have a disme laid upon the clergy of 188 ENGLAND UNDEE THE YOEKISTS England toward the socour of the said viage, and had to that effect sent his bulls into this kingdom. To prevent the inconveniences that might follow by the examples of such impositions hereafter, whereof the Hke hath non been in times put in ure in the days of his noble progenitors, being right loth to suffer such new impositions take effect in his days, he was advised to raise such a subsidy, by his own authority, as might satisfie the pope, and prevent the execution of the said bulls ; and therefore he desires, ex- horts and prays the archbishop to write to his suffragans to call their clergy together, and exhort them to grant him such a subsidy to be levyed in all haste, as mowt honorably, reasonably and thankfully please and content our said holy fader, and appoints and names six commissioners to receive at the hands of such collectors, as shall be appointed by the clergy to levy it.
