Mandate, if he find the facts to be as stated, to collate and assign to Benedict Canterbiri, rector of Cambron in the diocese of Exeter, B.C.L., a canonry and prebend of Exeter, as below, value not exceeding 6 marks. Boniface IX, on 18 Kal. Dec. anno 1 [1389], made provision to him of a canonry of Exeter with reservation of a prebend and dignity, personatus or office, with or without cure, to be accepted by him, as usual, within a certain time, executors being deputed. Afterwards pope Boniface, on 4 Kal. May anno 5 [1394, in Ottenthal, Regulæ Cancellariæ Apost. (Bonif. IX, No. 48)] ordained that all who accepted any benefices under expectative graces should be bound to cause provision to be made to them within a month after their acceptance, otherwise such acceptance and the graces themselves should be void. Subsequently, as Benedict's recent petition to the present pope contained, upon the resignation to bishop Edmund by the late Roger Waldene of his canonry and prebend of Exeter, Benedict accepted them under the said letters, within the lawful time, but, on account of a certain statute [Præmunire] which was put forth in England before such voidance and acceptance, and the consequent peril of death or imprisonment or loss of goods, he did not dare to cause provision to be made to him. The collation is to be made notwithstanding the above ordinance, and pope Boniface's revocation on 11 Kal. Jan. anno 14 [1402, see ibid. No. 68] of all expectative graces made by him, etc.; and that Benedict holds the said church and a canonry and prebend of St. Thomas's, Glosney, in the said diocese, value together not exceeding 60 marks.

Upon obtaining Clyve under these presents, he is to resign his deanery and the said portion and all right to such portion, as he has also offered, and he is to hold the remaining three incompatible benefices for two years only, and meanwhile to resign any one of them for another benefice compatible with the remaining two; otherwise he is thereafter to resign Sanforde Corteneye.
