The History of England in Three Volumes, Vol.I., Part A.

CHAPTER XI
60/167

The following were the principal clauses of this nature.
It was ordained that all the privileges and immunities above mentioned, granted to the barons against the king, should be extended by the barons to their inferior vassals.

The king bound himself not to grant any writ, empowering a baron to levy aids from his vassals, except in the three feudal cases.

One weight and one measure shall be established throughout the kingdom.

Merchants shall be allowed to transact all business without being exposed to any arbitrary tolls and impositions; they and all free men shall be allowed to go out of the kingdom and return to it at pleasure: London, and all cities and burghs, shall preserve their ancient liberties, immunities, and free customs: aids shall not be required of them but by the consent of the great council: no towns or individuals shall be obliged to make or support bridges but by ancient custom: the goods of every freeman shall he disposed of according to his will: if he die intestate, his heirs shall succeed to them.

No officer of the crown shall take any horses, carts, or wood, without the consent of the owner.
