Grant to him, to whom the pope intends to make this day provision of the church of Sodor in the Isle of Man, (fn. 2) and whose recent petition contained that he could not decently keep up his estate from the slender fruits etc. of the episcopal mensa of Sodor, to retain for life in commendam the said monastery, the value of which the pope holds to be sufficiently expressed hereby, even after the pope has made him provision of the said church and after he has been consecrated etc. Personam tuam.

To the abbots of Lindores and Inchcolm (Insule Sancte [sic] Columbe) in the diocese of St. Andrews. Mandate, as below. The recent petition of David, abbot of the Cistercian monastery of Dere in the diocese of Aberdeen, contained that although provision was made to him of the said monastery on its voidance by the deprivation for his faults and demerits of Nicholas de Fores made, by his ordinary authority, by Thomas, bishop in the universal church, who had special power for the purpose from John abbot of Cîteaux, to whom such deprivation and provision belong, and that although in virtue of the said provision he obtained peaceable possession of the rule and administration, nevertheless William Ernot (rectius Euiot), a monk of Dere, alleging that provision had in virtue of letters of the present pope been made to him of the said monastery as void by the voluntary resignation of the said Nicholas to the pope, prevented David, as he still does, from peaceably exercising the said rule and administration, even after the said William had voluntarily resigned before the said bishop and a notary public and witnesses the said provision and the letters thereof. At the said petition, for the commission of the cause which David intends to bring against William, the pope hereby orders the above two to summon William and others concerned, hear both sides, and decide what is just, causing their decision to be observed by ecclesiastical censure, etc. Humilibus supplicum votis. (P. and A. de Cortesiis. | P. xv. de Varris.) [2 pp. See above, p. 322.] |
