[1] [2] Godfrey de Kinton archbishop of Can|turburie.Godfrey de Kinton was consecrated arch|bishop of Canturburie at Rome, about the feast of Christ|masse last past, and so returned from thence home to his cure.An ordinance against ex|tortion. There was an ordinance made about this time, for punishment to be had of the extortion of shi|riffes, so that aswell the receiuer as the giuer of bri|bes was punishable. Which law if it were now exe|cuted vpon all officers & occupiers whatsoeuer, there would not be so much wealth and substance, so great riches and treasure raked vp togither in the possession of some few men, as the old sage saieng importeth,
Quisquis ditatur rapidos miluos imitatur.
