Furst, they shal goo to the said Lowyk Duk of Baiuere, and, aftre due Reverence and presenting of the King's Letters, they shall reherse the grete Kindnesse that late he shewed unto the Kyng, and the labour he had in comyng to the King in the Rewme of France, into grete worship to the King and proffit; whereof, as wel as of muche other kyndness, the Kyng thanketh him with all his hert.
Item, they shul say furthermore that, for asmoche as they been sent by the King, to the Persones abovesaid, aswell as to hym, for to have Souccours of Men, the which myght never by lykeheed be more behoveful unto him, considered that he is now in the point and conclusion of his labour, and thorow Godds Grace, and help of his Allies and Friends, shall soon have an end of the Werre, the King entirely, as his principal and special trust is in hym, prayeth him of his favour and good diligence doyeng, aswell in his owne Persone, as to the Persones abovesaid, in fortherance of the Kings entent in this matter.
Item, They shull declare afterward to the said Elizours and Duc Henry, whether be it that they have hem assembled, or severally, howe the sadde Love, Pees, and Accorde, that continuelly hath been betwix the King's Progenitours, and also him and the said Elizours and Duc Henry, and their Soubgetts and Lordshippes, and thorow Godes grace alway shall be Alliance, and also th' affection and good zeel that they have to the Kynges Persone, as he is enfourmed by diverse of his Subgettez and other, and also hath by experience (whereof he thanketh him hertly) meven him to send to hem at this time, as to his verray and faithfull Frendes, for the causes they shall declare unto hem.
Item, They shul declare how the King supposeth hit is not unknowne unto hem, that, after long Werre many yeres betwix the Rewmes of England and of France, as it pleseth God, ther is a Pees now appointed and concluded betwix the King and his Fader of France, and the two saide Rewmes; the which Pees, yowh it be Confermed and Sworn by the Thre Estates of the said Rewme of France, yet there been certain Persones that wold lette it, as he that clepeth hym Dauphin, and his adherents.
Item, They shall declare what good and proffit myght ryse if there were Pees and Rest amongs Cristen Princes; for thanne myght they togeder entende ayeins Miscreants, in encrece and augmentation of Christien Feith, aswel as to the good of the Chirche.
Item, Wherefore the King, consideryng that he is now in the Point and Conclusion of his Labour, and, thorow God's grace, trusteth, with Succurse of his Allies and Friends, to have good and hasty end, and therfore thenking that he had never more necessity, prayeth hem and requireth hem, as his Frends and Allies, to yeve him Succurse and help, and, among other communyng, they shall fall ynne to witte, and ask how, and in what fourme, and what Succourse they will yeve the Kyng.
Item, If the seid Lords ask how and in what maner the King desireth their Succurse? they shall answere, yif they see them noon otherwise disposed, but for to doo the King Service at his Cost, that he desireth at his Wages, such as he yeueth to his own Subgetts, Englishmen other Frenchmen.
Item, If they ask Declaracion of the Wages he payeth to his own Soubgettes; they shul declare that the Wages been xv Francs for the Month for a Spere.
Item, Toucheing the Wages of the said Lords, the King wol that his said Ambassiatours Trete with hem for to yeve eche of hem (except Duc Lodowic and th'Archbishop of Coloigne) for his Estate xij C. Nobles, and so Encrece in profit if they wol not agre hem: And, or they breke of, accorde ii M. Nobles; and eche of hem to teke, over that, as moche asiv other Speres doo.
Item, They shall profer Duc Lodewic, and also the Archbishop of Coloigne (which be Vassalls and Feed Men of the King's) to have thaire Fees, over thair Wages, accustumed payed for ii Yere; for the Toon Yere at thair departing, and for the tother whanne they come to the King: and, if they wol in noe wise assent, they shul Trete with hem, profring hem a raisunable Some, and Encresyng, fro Some to Some, to they come to ii M. Nobles, semblably as they doo with other.
Item, Touching the receiving of the Money and Wages abovesaid, the King wol that his Ambassiatours accorde with hem to pay half at Coloigne, and the t'other halfe when they come to the Kyng.
Item, If thay say the Wages be too small, considering the grete distance, or peradventure other causes that they wol allege; the said Ambassiatours shull pray hem instantly, in the King's Partie, to considre the grete Charge that he hath born many Yeres continuing his Werres, and shew him such Frendship now as they wol desire of him in cas semblable, and as he wold do to thaim at thair desire and request with good will.
Item, If thay wol nat agre hem in no way unto the said Wages; the said Ambassiatours shall cast to what Some the Wages aboveseid woole drawe to for every of hem, and for the Meny he wold bring to the Kyng in his Feliship, and profre hym that Some in grete: and, if he wol not so hald him content, thei shul profre him, for himselfe, his Estate, and his C. Speres, iv M. Nobles: and finally, atte uttermaste, tretyng with him astre the tenure of a Cedule, which the King sendeth, closed undre his Signet, unto his Conseil by the Bryngers of thees.
Item, Atte uttermast it may be said, how it is to all Folk knawen, and ought not to be unknawen, that thay of Castille aswel as thay of Scotland come in grete nombre into the Service of him that clepeth him Dauphine, the Kings Adversaire, and serve him aswell by Water as by Land, and be not payed of her Wages past xx. or xxiv. Francs of feble Money for the Month; the which Money is feble, that it passath not a good English Noble a Month; wherefore the King trusteth that, now in his nede, the forsaid Elizours, which bene his Friends and Allies, wolde not falle him, atte lest at his resonnable Costs, no more than Strangers men doo to theim that been his Adversaires.
Item, and, thus Accorded upon the Wages, the King wol that the Ambassiatours appoint with the said Lords for v C. Speres, or with eche of hem for C. Speres, to be with the King the first day of May, or atte ferthest within a Sevennyght after, and to abide and continue in his Service for v Months suyng (xxx. days accounted for the Month) and be paid for vi Months; the vi. month, so allowed to thaym in thair Wages, taking for comyng to the Kyng, and retournyng home ayein into thair Countree.
Item, if it be that any of the said Lords wol not accorde to the nombre of C. Speres, but benethe, the said Ambassiatours shall see and purveye that that failleth in oon be fulfilled in another or elles in other, so that, among thaim all, they may come to the said nombre of v C. Speres.
Item, if thare be any variance betwix the Elizours and the Lords abovesaid, and the said Ambassiatours, in appointment of thees Articles, or any of hem, or elles of any matere other that is nat contened in this Instruxion; the King wol not thay breke lightly of, but putt the matere in delay to tyme they be certefyed of the King's Will; to whom they shull sende, in all haste possible, in that party, to make report to the King, and bring answer ayein to theim of his said Will.
Item, the Matere abovesaid thus come, the said Ambassiatours shall passe forth to the King of the Romans, and, after due and accustumed salutation and presentation of the Kings Lettres, they shul declare to hym, how the King is enfourmed, by the reporte of his Ambassiatour, which be sent late unto hym, that he desired to be required on the Kings behalve of Succurse; sayeing that it myght now availe: Wherefore they shal require him that (seen furst the matere, touching the Feith ayein the Heretiks and Lollardes of his Rewme of Boeme, the which is Godds cause immediately, may be sette in such way, unto his comyng ayein, that no mescheif folowe for his absence) he come and do the King succurse after his many Promesses and often tymes wryting.
Item, semblaby as above, they sh u require all the remanent of the Elizours of th' Empire to yeve the King Succurse in the best manner the said Ambassiatours can devyse, and finally by vertue of the Lige, made betwix his Brother th'Emperour and him and thaim, Confermed and Approved.
Item, yif he ask of the said Ambassiatours if they have any power to Trete with him or accorde of a Place for the Conceil General to be holden in, or of any Articles touching that matere; they shall say that the King yaf him in charge to commune with him in that matere, and make report unto him of his Will; for the King desireth that the seid Counceil shuld be holden in such place, as were most couvenable unto the said King of Romans and to al other.
