the said heir, as of full
age, by pretext of the foresaid proof (thus insufficiently
made) were delivered out of the King's hands, should be
reseized into the King's hands, to whosesoever hands they might
have
come; together with the issues received therefrom, from the time
of
the foresaid proof, and should remain in the King's hands until
the
legal age of the foresaid heir; and that all deeds, writings, and
obligations,
as well as of statute merchant and of the staple, as all other
whatsoever,
and also the recognizances by him made before the present
time to any persons whatsoever, should be revoked, quashed, and
altogether annulled. And that processes should be issued, by writs
of ' scire facias,' against all those to whom any lands or
tenements of the inheritance of the said William, son of William
(after proof
of the foresaid age, and livery of the lands and tenements of his
inheritance,
from our hands had), have been alienated; and also against all those to whom the said William, son of William, has granted
any
annual rents; also, against all those to whom the said William,
son
of William, is bound in any debts, by statute merchant or of the
staple, or by recognizances, or charters, -writings, or any other
deeds; to cause them to come into the King's Chancery, to show if they
have
or know anything that they can say, for themselves, why the
foresaid lands, tenements, and rents, thus alienated, ought not to be
reseized
into the King's hands, and the charters, writings, statutes,
recognizances,
obligations, and other deeds which were executed by the said
William, son of William, quashed and annulled, as of no effect and
in
error; and to do and receive what shall be just in this
matter."
"Now we, on the supplication of the said William de
Septvans,
have thought fit that the tenour of the record and process aforesaid, be exemplified by these presents.
"In testimony whereof we have caused these our
Letters to
be made patent.

the forty-first year of our reign.1
