The said petition adding that he fears that the said collation and provision are without force, and that some persons hesitate about the force of the said union, the pope hereby orders the above three to summon those concerned, and if they find the facts to be as stated, to approve and confirm the said union, and, pro potiori cautela, to unite anew by papal authority the said rectory to the said canonry and prebend, value 3 and 2 marks sterling, respectively, for the life of the said John Hussei [sic], and in the event of so doing, to collate and assign to him the said canonry and prebend and annexed rectory.
