Compare 1577 edition: 1 The king herevpon sent his letters patents vnto the shiriffes of all the counties of this realme, com|manding them to see the ordinances and liberties which he granted and confirmed, to be diligentlie ob|serued. And for the more strengthening of this his grant, he had gotten the pope to confirme a like char|ter granted the yeare before. For the pope (sith king Iohn was become his obedient vassall, and the apo|stolike king) easilie granted to gratifie both him and his lords herein, and so was the grant of the liber|ties corroborated & made good with a double confir|mation, and so sealed, that it was impossible for them to be separated in sunder, the kings grant being an|nexed to the popes bull.
