"Wilhelmus rex salutat Wilhelmum Episcopum, & Goffridum
Portegrefium, & omnem Burghware infra London Frans. & Angl.
amicabiliter. Et vobis notum facio, qu?d ego vole qu?d vos sitis
omni lege illa digni qua fuistis Edwardi diebus regis. Et volo
qu?d omnis puer sit patris sui h?res post diem patris sui. Et ego
nolo pati qu?d aliquis homo aliquam iniuriam vobis inferat. Deus
vos saluet."
[Sidenote: _Matth. Paris._ _Hen. Hunt._] But howsoeuer he vsed the
rest of the English, this is recorded of some writers, that by his
rigorous proceedings against them, he brought to passe that the
countrie was so rid of theeues and robbers, as that at length a maid
might haue passed through the land with a bag full of gold, and not
haue met with any misdooer to haue bereft hir of the same: a thing
right strange to consider, sith in the beginning of his reigne there
were such routs of outlawes and robbers, that the peaceabler people
could not be safelie possessed of their owne houses, were the same
neuer so well fortified and defended.
