Now, on the sheriff's authority, they have assessed him with finding men at arms to send to the king's aid at Newcastle upon Tyne, and will not let his people work on his manor, or his other possessions in Suffolk, until he has given them security that he will send men to the king's summons at the octave of Trinity next.
