With the renewal of the war, a change comes over the pages of the City’s annals. The London bachelor and apprentice is drawn off from his football and hockey, with which he had beguiled his leisure hours, and bidden to devote himself to the more useful pursuits of shooting with arrow or bolt on high days and holidays.(574) Once more we meet with schedules of men-at-arms and archers provided by the City for service abroad, and of assessments made on the City’s wards to pay for them.(575) Every inducement in the shape of plunder was held out to volunteers for enlistment, and public proclamation was made to the effect that the spoils of France should belong to the captors themselves.(576) (M321) It was an easier matter for the City to provide the king with money than men. In 1370 it advanced a sum of £5,000,(577) and in the following year a further sum of £4,000, and more was subscribed by the wealthier citizens, among whom were William Walworth, who contributed over £200, Adam Fraunceys, Simon de Mordon, and others.(578) (M322) Still the expenses of the war exceeded the supply of money, and resort was had to a new form of taxation, by which it was hoped that a sum of £50,000 might be realised. By order of parliament, made in March, 1371, the sum of 22_s._ 3_d._ was to be levied on every parish in the kingdom, the number of parishes being reckoned as amounting to 40,000. It soon became apparent that the number of existing parishes throughout the country had been grossly miscalculated. There were not more than 9,000, and the amount of assessment had to be proportionately raised. It was necessary to summon a council at Westminster in June, to remedy the miscalculation that had been made in March. Half of the representatives of the late parliament were summoned to meet the king, and among them two of the city’s members, Bartholomew Frestlyng and John Philipot—"the first Englishman who has left behind him the reputation of a financier."(579) The mistake was rectified, the charge of 22_s._ 3_d._ was raised to 116_s._ and the city was called upon to raise over £600.(580) In the meantime the civic authorities had, in answer to the king’s writ,(581) prepared a return of the number of parish churches, chapels and prebends within the city.(582) It was found that within the city and suburbs there were 106 parish churches(583) and thirty prebends, but only two of the latter were within the liberties. There was also the free chapel of St. Martin’s-le-Grand, which embraced eleven prebends, all within the liberty of the city, and there were, moreover, two other chapels within the liberty. Besides these (the return stated) there were none other. (M323)
