Upon which the aforesaid John Shordych sent on the morrow to the aforesaid William certain men, who were to deal with him in the name of the aforesaid John Shordych, and they gave to him 11 marks, which the same William, an enemy of the lord king, received from the same John there on the aforesaid day and year, and this he did feloniously and traitorously.
