The cause, lawfully introduced, on Doney's appeal, to the apostolic see, was committed by the pope to the above Master Nicholas, who has proceeded short of a conclusion. Seeing that, as the petition adds, Doneys—who, his cause in petitorio being suspended, obtained, before the said auditor and before divers others, two definitive sentences, in possessorio only, by which Yonge was condemned in fruits taken and costs, the last of which sentences became res judicata but has not been executed—has died in the Roman court, the pope orders Master Nicholas to surrogate Bremor to Doneys' right, and to collate and assign to him the said canonry and prebend, value not exceeding 20 marks, and to guarantee to him the said fruits as well as the costs, which latter amount to 76 florins; notwithstanding any papal letters to Thomas Hendeman, dean of St. Karontoc, in the diocese of Exeter, granting to him, on the present or any other day, such surrogation, which letters are hereby with Hendeman's consent annulled; notwithstanding also that Bremor holds a canonry and prebend of Chichester, the parish church of Hecham, the free chapel of Wicheston, and a yearly pension of 100s. from the monastery of Asscrerugge, and is litigating in the apostolic palace about the canonry and prebend of Middelton in Werwill and the parish church of Clyve, in the dioceses of Norwich, Salisbury, Lincoln, Winchester and Worcester, value altogether not exceeding 500 marks; and that the pope has lately ordered provision to be made to him of one, two or three benefices, even if two of them had cure, or were perpetual vicarages or parish churches or elective dignities, major in cathedral or principal in collegiate churches, personatus or offices, even with or without cure, value not exceeding 200 marks, in the common or several gift of the archbishop of Canterbury and the bishops of Winchester, Ely and Worcester, and the priors, deans, archdeacons and chapters, and each of the canons and persone of these churches, with dispensation to hold for life two such benefices or offices with cure, even if perpetual vicarages or parish churches, or two such dignities or personatus, and to resign them for exchange or otherwise and hold instead two similar or dissimilar incompatible benefices.
