Whereas divers great controversies, variances and debates have been moved and yet depend between the bishop on the one part and the dean and chapter on the other, as formerly between their predecessors, upon the bearing of the charges of the payments to be made for the temporalities of the bishopric during a vacancy, which at the especial desire and great charge of the predecessors of both parties were granted by letters patent of Edward II to the custody of the then dean and chapter and their successors at the rate of 1,021l. 7s. 11d. a year, (fn. 1) forasmuch as divers bishops have had their temporalities restored a day or two before the terms of payment of rents of tenants, so that the dean and chapter were put out of possession and could not thereafter distrain the tenants for arrears or take any revenues or profits while the bishops (including the now bishop) have entered into possession and taken the rents and other revenues and profits and have not rated therefor with the dean and chapter as they should have rated with and to the king if the temporalities had been in his custody, so that in some vacancies since the grant the dean and chapter have paid the king for half a year except two or three days but received rents, etc., for only a quarter; and whereas both parties, for the final end and appeasing of these controversies, have compromitted themselves to obey the arbitrament of the aforenamed justices, as arbitrators indifferently chosen between them; the said arbitrators, after hearing the allegations and answers of both parties, award, ordain and deem as follows: whereas the now bishop had his restitution of the temporalities on 22 March, 15 Henry VII, whereby he received the rents, issues and profits due from Christmas then last past to the Annunciation, and the dean and chapter paid the king for the period from Christmas to 22 March at the rate of 56s. 1½d. a day, i.e. 249l. 15s. 1½d. in all, the bishop shall pay the said sum to the dean and chapter; and they think reasonable and good conscience that his successors should rate likewise with the dean and chapter and their successors.
