[1] [2] It was not long after the finishing of this parle|ment,Contention betwixt the earles of Lei|cester and Glocester. but that strife and variance began to kindle betwéene the king and the earles of Leicester and Glocester, by reason of such officers as the said earles had remooued, and put others in their roomes: a|mong the which Iohn Mansell was discharged of his office, and sir Hugh Bigod, brother to earle Mar|shall, admitted in his roome. Also bicause the fore|said gouernours had knowledge that the king min|ded not to performe the ordinances established at Oxford, they thought to make their part as strong as was possible for them to doo, and therefore vpon the morrow after the feast of Marie Magdalene,The lords come to the Guildhall to haue their or|dinances con|firmed. the king as then being at Westminster, the earle Mar|shall, the earle of Leicester, and diuerse other came to the Guildhall of London, where the maior and al|dermen, with the commons of the citie were assem|bled, and there the lords shewed the instrument or writing sealed with the kings seale, and with the seales of his sonne prince Edward, and of manie o|ther lords of the land, conteining the articles of those ordinances which had béene concluded at Oxford, willing the maior and aldermen to set also therevn|to their common seale of the citie. The maior and al|dermen vpon aduise amongst them taken, required respit till they might know the kings pleasure there|in, but the lords were so earnest in the matter, and made such instance, that no respit could be had; so that in the end the common seale of the citie was put to that writing, and the maior with diuerse of the citie sworne to mainteine the same, their allegiance saued to the king, with their liberties and franchi|ses, according to the accustomed manner.
