All debts and pledges of Jews are to be enrolled, as also their lands, houses, rents, and possessions. Any Jew who shall make concealment of any one of these things, shall forfeit to our lord the king his body, as also the thing concealed, and all his possessions, and all bis chattels ; and no Jew shall ever be allowed to recover what he has so concealed.

The said two Christians also are to have a register of receipts for pay ments made henceforth to Jews, and the two Jews are to have one, and the keeper of the register one. Also, every Jew shall make oath upon his register that he will cause all his debts, pledges, rents, and all his property and possessions to be en rolled, and that, as above stated, he will not conceal anything ; and that, if he shall be able to learn that any one has con cealed anything, he will secretly disclose the same to the 23 The script, the other part being the rescript.
