The pope hopes he will so act as to show his detractors to be false, and to reduce them to silence. As to the demand made by the king of Scots to be crowned by the legate, it is no affair of his, since that king is said to be subject to the king of England; the pope therefore wishes the legate to have nothing to do with the coronation, unless the king of England and his councillors consent, in which case he can proceed to it, taking counsel of the prelates of England.

Mandate to the cardinal archbishop of Canterbury and his fellow judges, on the showing of John Sarraceni, clerk, that when Jolanus, clerk of the diocese of Durham, brought an action against him before them touching the church of St. Nicholas, Durham, exception was taken on the part of the said John that he ought not to be cited before them by authority of papal letters, inasmuch as [the court] was more than two days journey distant from the said church, but that they nevertheless went on with the cause, on the ground that the said John having benefices in the diocesses of Rochester and Ely, must be considered to have a domicile there. On this he appealed to the pope, but they, ignoring his appeal, put the other party in possession of the church; whereupon John, following up the appeal, obtained papal letters committing the cause to the archbishop of York and his colleagues; but in spite of this the archbishop of Canterbury, going on with the cause, inhibited the said judges from proceeding in the business committed to them. Wherefore the pope has ordered the cardinal archbishop of Canterbury and his fellow judges to withdraw from the cause, as not they, but the said judges have to take cognisance of it.

Mandate to the archbishop of York and the bishops of Carlisle and Exeter, on the information of James, papal legate, and several bishops of Scotland, that Alan, constable of Sctoland, was of such close kindred and affinity to his wife, that they could not cohabit without mortal sin. The legate demanded of the pope what was to be done, on which the pope answered that the Scottish bishop were to be called together, and that, on ascertaining the facts, the legate was to do what was right. But since Alan's proctor made further instance that the pope would not deny that justice which is due to all, the case is now committed to the above, with orders to examine all persons concerned, and to do what is according to the law of God and the good of souls. [Theiner, 20.]
