(f. [19].)
To John (Jo[ha]nni) Cantwell, clerk, of the diocese of Lismore.

6 Kal. Nov.
(27 Oct.)
St. Mark's, Rome.
(f. 27.)
To the abbot of St. Saviour's, Duysky, in the diocese of Ossory. Mandate, as below. The pope has learned that the rectory of the parish church of Balbimartun (recte Ballimartun) in the diocese of Ossory has been so long void, because William Valche, having obtained it by canonical collation, has held possession for more than a year without having himself ordained priest and without dispensation, that by the Lateran statutes its collation has lapsed to the apostolic see, although James Maydul, clerk, has, even after the said lapse, by his own temerity and without any title, unduly detained possession for between five and eight years; and the recent petition of Philip Okerog, canon of Ossory, contained that the fruits etc. of his said canonry and of the prebend of St. Maul's (de Sancta Malla) are so slight that he cannot be maintained etc. therewith, but that if the said rectory were united thereto for his life he could be so maintained, and could study for at least seven years in some university or non-university place, according to Irish custom. (fn. 2) The pope therefore orders the above abbot to summon the said James and others concerned, and if he find the facts to be as stated, to unite the said rectory to the said canonry and prebend, value not exceeding 8 and 10 marks sterling, respectively, for Philip's lifetime only, and as long as he shall hold the latter, removing James and any other unlawful detainer. The pope hereby specially dispenses him to take the fruits etc. of the said canonry and prebend and rectory for seven years whilst so studying, (fn. 3) the daily distributions alone excepted. Pastoralis officii. (Hug. and A. de Cortesiis. | Hug. l. Expedita Septimo Ydus Novembris Anno Quarto. Folani, prot. Bisunt.) [3 pp.]

Grant and decree to him (whom the present pope lately dispensed to receive and retain for life, together with the parish church of Weryngton in the diocese of Coventry and Lichfield, any one other benefice, or without that church any two other benefices, with cure or otherwise incompatible, even if they were parish churches or their perpetual vicarages, or major or principal dignities, etc., and to resign them, simply or for exchange, as often as he pleased; and whose recent petition contained that at the time of the pope's said letters he was holding, not the said church of Weryngton, but the perpetual vicarage of Kyrkeby in Kendale, in the diocese of York, which he still holds, wherefore he fears lest the said letters and dispensation may be reputed invalid), that the said letters and dispensation and their consequences shall hold good from the present date, as if it had been stated therein that he held, not the said church of Weryngton, but the said vicarage. Vite etc. (P. and A. de Cortesiis. | P. xx. Nonis Decembris Anno Quarto. de Varris.) [2½ pp.]

Wenzel's ‘An. 4. to. 12.’ A contemporary end-paper has the contemporary description: Primus de diversis formis anno quarto domini nostri domini Pauli pape ii., the order ‘R(ecipe) N., P.,’ and the anonymous answer ‘Rubricatus [est],’ as well as two unimportant contemporary ‘Vidi’ and ‘Quesitus’ notes, the latter sharing in the mutilation of the top edge of the leaf. A similar contemporary description, ‘Primus de diversis …,' occurs also, as usual, on the bottom edge of the volume. There are ff. [i.—xiii.], xiiii.
