- [On face] To the lords, to ordain a remedy.[On dorse] Be it remembered that these ten petitions which are attached together were sent to the king by the commons in parliament requesting the king of his grace to have careful consideration of the matter contained in them, and to provide a gracious remedy in this matter. Whereupon the king, having considered the petitions, . . . the same petitions of his grace, with the assent of parliament, has asssigned certain of the lords, that is, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Duke of Lancaster, the Bishop of Winchester, the Bishop of Salisbury, the Earl of Rutland and the Earl Marshal, with the king's officers, to try, consider and examine the said petitions, at the quinzaine of Easter next, and further to make, by authority of parliament, compensation and other reasonable remedies in this case . . . as will seem best to their good discretions.
