Regarding heritable chamberlains and dispositions of the property
Item, the king's majesty and estates in parliament decree and declare all offices of heritable chamberlains and all free gifts and discharges of the king's property, or any part thereof, with all fees, casualties or privileges pertaining thereto, to be null and of no value, and ordain them to cease in all time coming so that the king and his comptroller may freely intromit with the same and all the rents thereof as if the said offices and dispositions had never been made.
