Two other abuses are to bo reformed: the outrageous apparel of all estates, and the decay of horses. As regards apparel ordinances have been made by the Council [No. 562, q.v.]. The decay of horses arises from the carrying them out of the realm, and from the neglect of breeding them. The laws are to be strictly observed. Commissions will be issued to every county to inquire as to the execution, and a special view of horses held in September and another in January next. B.M. G. 6463 (50).
