- Nature of endorsement
- Because the clergy are obliged and accustomed to pay the tenths from their benefices, and all their other spiritual possessions, to their prelates or to those assigned by them, in the places where they have their benefices and spiritual possessions, and not to lay people in any way, and the clergy, the sergeants of the realm, the justices who are sergeants-at-law, or other lay people who are not continually resident in London or other towns, have not paid and should not pay anything for their lodgings there, or for their goods and necessities in these lodgings, it is ordained and assented in this parliament that such a demand is henceforth not to be made on the clergy, the lords or other lay people, by the people of London or elsewhere in the realm; and if anything has been taken for such a demand, restitution is to be made to the owners, or their attorneys.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- The two tenths and fifteenths, mentioned in SC 8/19/901 as being granted at the last parliament, were granted at the parliament held at Westminster, at the quinzaine of Michaelmas, 1 Richard II (1377) (Rot. Parl. vol. III, p.7a-b). The petition to which this is the response seems to have been presented to the next parliament, that is the one held at Gloucester on the Wednesday after the feast of St Luke, 2 Richard II (1378): confirmation of this is found in Rot. Parl. III vol. III, p.86b, where this ordinance is made into a statute at the parliament held at Westminster on the Monday following the feast of St Hilary, 3 Richard II (1380).
