The pope therefore (absolving Thomas, as far only as regards the taking effect of these presents, from any sentences of excommunication etc. arising from any cause, and perhaps inflicted by Master Peter de Valle, a chaplain of the present pope and an auditor of causes of the apostolic palaces, in a cause before him by papal commission between the said Thomas and John Donaldi, clerk, of the diocese of Glasgow, about the chancellorship of Dunkeld, and dispensing him on account of irregularity contracted when under the said sentences) orders the above three to collate and assign to Thomas, who is a priest and M.A., the said canonry and prebend of Kirkmanchquho, which is of the patronage of laymen and the patron of which consented to the said collation and provision made to Thomas, as above, and the value of which does not exceed 80l. of old sterlings, whether void as above, or by the death of the said Adam, or in any other way; notwithstanding that he holds the said church, value not exceeding 16l. of old sterlings, and that provision was lately made to him of the said chancellorship, a non major dignity with cure, of which he is not in possession, value not exceeding 20l. of old sterlings, and that he was lately dispensed by papal authority to receiveand retain for life, together with the chancellorship, a dignity etc. or a benefice with cure, in virtue of papal letters ordering provision to be made to him thereof, or any two other benefices with cure or otherwise incompatible, even if dignities etc. and to resign them, simply or for exchange, as often as he pleased, and receive instead two other incompatible benefices and retain them for life, or for two years only in the case of major or principal dignities or one of such and a parish church.
