Uppon the whyche daye the Iewys of En∣glande, and specyally suche as dwel¦lyd within London and nere about / assembled of them a certayn nomber, and presumyd farther then requyred for theyr authoryte. For whyche pre∣sumpcyon they were fyrste rebuked, & after one of thē strykē. which thyng sene of the cōmon people, supposyd that to be done by the kynges com∣maundement. wherfore in a fury as those that they hated as the deuyll for theyr vsury & other vnhappy con¦dycyons, they fell vppon theym, and chased them to theyr houses, & them robbed and spoyled wythout pytye, and brent some of theyr housis / wher of the rumour ranne to westmynster to y^e kynges audyēce. wherfore in all haste he sent downe / gyuyng strayte cōmaundement that they shuld cease of that ryot. But the people were in suche ire and wodenesse, that they re¦frayned not for all the kinges sonde, tyll they hadde executed the fyne of theyr malyce. And all be yt that thys ryot was after greuously shewyd a∣gayne the commons of the cytye / yet yt passed vnpunyshed, for the great nomber of the transgressours.

And the sayde daye of coronacyon / all prysoners that lay in any pryson aboute London at the kynges sute, or for other small or fayned accyons, were frely delyueryd.

Soone after the kynge gaue ma∣ny dygnytyes / and to hys brother Iohn̄ he gaue the prouynces of No∣tyngham, Deuonshyre, and Corne∣wall / and creatyd hym erle of Lan∣caster. And then the kynge ordeyned the cytye of London to be ruled by two baylyues whose names were as foloweth.
