Inasmuch as the pope's grant made no mention of the said agreement, and is therefore without force, and the said abbot Richard alleging that the fruits etc. of the episcopal mensa of Aberdeen are enough for the support of the said Robert's episcopal dignity, whereas those of the said monastery are not enough for the support of the said abbot and for the monks, etc., the pope hereby orders the above abbots to summon the said bishop Robert and others concerned, and, if they find the facts to be as stated, to decree and declare the said grant surreptitious and without force, and the said Richard not to be bound to pay the said pension, etc. Justis et honestis supplicum votis.
