And you are to take and appropriate these lands and tenements into our hands [and enquire] more fully into the truth of the matters and circumstances affecting them. And therefore we instruct you (five, four or three of you, of whom we wish that you the said feodary and eschaetor or deputy feodary should be two), that at certain days and places which you will stipulate, an enquiry should be diligently made into these matters, and having been particularly and openly done, it should be dispatched to our chancery under the seals of five, four or three of you (of whom we wish that you the said feodary and eschaetor or deputy feodary should be two), and the seals of those by whom it will be done, together with these letters patent. We direct, therefore, by the tenor of these present letters that the sheriff of our said county should, at certain days and places which you will impart to him, convene before you five, four or three of you, of whom we wish that you the said feodary and eschaetor or deputy feodary should be two, as many and such upright and competent men in your area of jurisdiction, both among the free and unfree, by whom the truth of this matter may be better known and investigated. In witness of which we have caused these our letters patent to be issued. With myself as witness, given at Westminster on the ninth day of December in the thirty-fourth year of our reign [1591].
