The revised charter, which received royal sanction on 8 July 1607, was necessitated because the ‘vnapt words’ of the 1606 charter excluded the members who were not actually working cutlers from office. There is no evidence to suggest that it led to any change in the 1606 Ordinances. Ibid., 199–204.
