The archbishop's mandate for the convocation
Iohannes, permissione divina Eboracensis archiepiscopus, Angliae primas et apostolicae sedis legatus venerabili fratri nostro Domino Thomae, Dei gratia Dunelmensi episcopo suffraganeo nostro salutem, et fraternam in Domino caritatem. Cum ex sacrorum canonum liqueat institutis cuilibet metropolitano licitum fore in sua provincia pro emergentibus negotiis maturitate debita discutiendis concilia provincialia annis singulis celebrare, eo tamen tempore studio vigilantiori convenit huiusmodi concilia convocari cum insolitae gravesque causae id expetunt quae absqur plurium peritorum consilio facile nequeant expediri. Hac igitur consideratione moti pro Catholicae fidei et eorum qui eiusdem inextinguibile veritatis lumen inflexibili mentis constantia profitentur tutela et defensione adversus haereticorum quorundam modernorum insidias et insultus, aliisque variis de causis statum et tranquillitatem ecclesiae, regis et regni concernentibus, ex parte sanctissimi domini nostri Domini Martini, divina providentia papae quinti ac regiae pariter celsitudinis requisiti multipliciter et rogati, venerabiles confratres nostros ecclesiae nostrae suffraganeos ceterosque praelatos, exemptos et non exemptos, ac clerum provinciae nostrae Eboracensis ad diem et locum infrascriptos decrevimus convocandos.
