may  hereafter  be  oppressed,  since  they  have  not  hitherto  levied, 
and  cannot  levy,  a  penny  of  the  subsidy  ;  which  thing  (unless  a 
swift  remedy  be  applied)  will  result  not  only  in  the  oppression  of 
the  said  prior  and  convent  but  also  in  loss  to  the  king  and  delay 
in  the  collection  of  the  said  tenth  within  the  archdeaconry  afore-
