John, by the grace of God, etc. Know ye that we have granted and by our present writing have confirmed to our burgesses of Helston the town of Helston with its appurtenances, at farm have and to hold at the ancient and accustomed rent and £4 increase, so long as they serve us well and faithfully and pay their rent well, paying their rent by their own hands at our two Exchequers, namely, one half at Easter and the other half at Michaelmas. And be it known that the increment shall be of such sort as is the rent. Witness: Simon Pateshull, at DorchAter, on the s8th day of April.
