To Donald Okearwyll, a canon of Cork. Decree etc., as below. Calixtus III on 3 Id. July anno 4 [1458] made collation and provision to him, already (etiam tunc) a priest, of a canonry of Cork and the prebend of Kylaspugniellay [sic] therein, which is sacerdotal and has cure of souls, their value not exceeding 6 marks sterling, on their becoming void, and therefore ipso facto reserved, by the promotion made by the said pope of John bishop of Ferns to that church, and by his consecration administered to him at the apostolic see by order of the same pope; whether they became void thus, or because the late Gilbert Oherle, a canon of the said church, had for some years unduly detained therewith several incompatible benefices, without dispensation, against Execrabilis, or were void in any other way, etc.; notwithstanding that he held a canonry and prebend of Cloyne (Clonen.) and the perpetual vicarage of Anaghcriochan alias Clonferta in the diocese of Cloyne, value not exceeding 5 and 12 marks sterling respectively, with which vicarage the said pope dispensed him to retain for life the said prebend of Kylaspugniellan [sic] in Cork.

To John, elect of Chichester. Provision, as below. On the voidance of the said church by the death of Adam, during whose life it was specially reserved by Nicholas V, that pope, ignorant that Reginald Pecok, [now] a bishop in the universal church, had been guilty of heresy and therefore excommunicate, made provision to him of the said church, appointing him bishop and committing to him the rule and administration in spirituals and temporals, under pretext of which he exercised the said rule and administration. Afterwards the said Reginald, having been summoned by Thomas archbishop of Canterbury, the metropolitan, confessed in presence of the said archbishop, sitting as a tribunal, a number of his errors containing manifest heresy, confessed that he had long kept therein, even before his said promotion, abjured his said heresy, and freely and of his own accord resigned before the said archbishop and a number of other bishops, his suffragans etc., all right belonging to him in respect of the said rule and administration. The said church being therefore still void as above, and still reserved in virtue of the said reservation, the pope hereby makes provision thereof to the above John, archdeacon of Richmond in the church of York. Divina disponente clementia. |

To the abbot of Paisley in the diocese of Glasgow and the official of Dunblane. Mandate, as below. The recent petition of Thomas bishop of Dunkeld contained that Nicholas V (upon being informed that a number of bishops of Dunkeld had granted to farm or under a yearly cess to a number of clerks and laymen, to some of them for life, to certain of them for a long time and to others in perpetuity. a number of the possessions of the episcopal mensa, some of which persons were said to have obtained papal letters of confirmation) ordered the bishop of St. Andrews to revoke such alienations as he found unlawful; and that the said bishop Thomas caused to be brought before James bishop of St. Andrews, in virtue of the said letters, James Foderingham, layman, of the diocese of Dunkeld, who was unduly detaining a number of possessions, called of Fordale, in the said diocese, belonging to the said mensa and unlawfully alienated therefrom; that, after bishop James had taken some proceedings, his sub-commissioners William prior of St. Andrews and John Athilmer, provost of St. Salvator's at St. Andrews promulgated a definitive sentence by which they adjudged the said possessions to the said mensa; and that although the said James appealed to the apostolic see, etc., he has not prosecuted it for two years and a half, and that the appeal is therefore abandoned. At the said petition, the pope orders the above abbot and official, if they find the aforesaid to be true, to cause the said sentence to be executed, even by excommunication etc., invoking if necessary the said of the secular arm, etc. Ea que judicio.
