| Text (English translation) | Surrey: At another time before William Walleworthe, late mayor of the city of London, and his fellow late justices of the lord king, assigned to hear and determine any treasons and felonies in the aforesaid county, present that William Osebarn, Robert Sutton, John Surpyton and William Crisp, were those who firstly made an insurrection with diverse other wrongdoers, whose names they do not know, traitorously against the lord king and his people in the vill of Kingston upon Thames, aforesaid, and the adjacent places in the county of Surrey, aforesaid, and were leaders of others so insurging with them. Which same indictment the lord king afterwards, for certain causes, caused to come before him to be terminated. By which the sheriff was ordered that he should take them, if, etc. And now, namely on Wednesday next after three weeks of Easter, before the lord king at Westminster, there came the aforesaid William Osebarn and the others, after they were put in exigence and handed themselves over to the prison of the marshal of the lord king by the aforesaid occasion, who are committed to the marshal. And having been immediately brought by the marshal, they came and spoke separately as to how they wish to acquit themselves of the aforesaid felonies and treasons. They say separately that the now lord king, out of his special grace, pardoned them separately the suit of his peace, which pertains to him, for all kinds of treasons and felonies in the aforesaid insurrections, by their letters patent, which they produce separately here in court, viz the aforesaid William Osebarn in these words: Richard, by the grace of God king of England and France and lord of Ireland, to all his bailiffs and loyal subjects, to whom these present letters will come, greetings. Know you that, on account of reverence of God, and the special request of Anne, queen of England, our very dear consort, and in consideration of the good and loyal behaviour of our subjects, previously experienced towards our progenitors and us before the insurrections of our certain rebels lately made against us and our peace, and so that every single one of our subjects take up more joyful hearts to remain faithfully in loyalty and affection towards us, out of our special grace, we have pardoned to William Osebarn of Kingston upon Thames in the county of Surrey the suit of our peace, which pertains to us, against him for all kinds of treasons and felonies, howsoever made or perpetrated by him in the aforesaid insurrections from the first day of May last past until the feast of All Saints then next following, whereof he is indicted, charged or occasioned, and also outlawries, if any will have been published against him by these occasions, and we thereupon grant our firm peace to him. Nevertheless, in such a way that he does not kill the venerable father Simon, of good memory archbishop of Canterbury, late our chancellor, or brother Robert Hales, prior of the hospital of St John of Jerusalem in England, then our treasurer, or John de Cavendissh, then our chief justice, and that he will not be the approver or appellor of these kinds of treasons or felonies, whereof the approver or appellor is alive, and he will not escape or withdraw from prison and will not return himself to the same prison. Provided always that the parties, condemned in the aforesaid insurrections, will not have or be able to bring any action, by which it could not proceeded to the judgement of life for the recovery of their damages and losses in this matter against the aforesaid William, just as will seem expedient to them. In testimony of which matter, we have caused these our letters to be made patent. Witnessed by me, myself, at Westminster on the 18th day of January in the fifth year of our reign. And the aforesaid Robert Sutton in these words: Richard, by the grace of God king of England and France and lord of Ireland, to all his bailiffs and loyal subjects, to whom these present letters will come, greetings.
