The King to [the Dean and Chapter of Durham]. Whereas
we have been informed by the petition of Dr. Isaac Basire, late
one of the chaplains in ordinary to the late King and now one of
your prebendaries, that for his loyalty and in abhorrence to the
late usurpers he was forced to live in exile, in which condition
he discharged the duties of a good Christian and subject, and that
by reason of his long residence in foreign parts he is become so
engaged in business of concernment that without manifest pre
judice he cannot speedily return to England and be resident in
your church, we dispense with his non-residence since the
restoration and also for the future while his occasions shall enjoin
his stay abroad and therefore require you to make him a participant of all emoluments of his said prebend due since the
restoration and also of all future profits till his return and to pay
the same to his wife Frances. [Ibid. p. 441.] |
