one of the ancient companies of the city of London. A bowyer dwelling in London, was always to have ready 50 bows of elm, hazle, or ash, well made and wrought, under the penalty of 10s. for every bow wanting; and to sell them at certain prices, under the penalty of 40s. And parents and masters were to provide for their sons and servants, a bow and two shafts, and cause them to exercise shooting, on pain of 6s. 8d. &c. by our ancient statutes.
