When recently the men of the town of Bury, deprived of all grace, pardon and forgiveness in our parliaments of 5 Rich. II and 6 Rich. II etc., admitted to our grace for a fine of 2000m etc., we, on 17 May 6 Rich. II [1383], from our special grace and the assent of our council, for the relief and aid of the Abbey of Saint Edmund of Bury, which was often molested and imposed with many types of damages and losses by the men of the said town, and also for certain other reasons, we wished and granted, for ourselves and our heirs, that the prior and convent aforesaid might perceive and have 500m of the aforesaid fine for their own use. By means of diverse letters patent and writs of ours, we commanded both Roger Rose of Bury, and certain other persons, and our beloved in Christ of the Abbey of Saint Edmund of Bury, for said sum of 2000m to be assessed and assigned, and also raised and collected from the men of said town of Bury, and then be answerable to us, just as in our diverse letters and commands etc. You we command that, we being satisfied regarding 1000m of the aforesaid fine, you thus assign to the aforesaid prior and convent said 500m aforesaid granted by us from the aforesaid men as stated, and also etc., that afterwards the same prior and convent is satisfied regarding the said 500m allocated at said exchequer.
