possession of the parish church of St. Mary on the Hill Cestre in the

concurrence of those by law required, and is yet in possession as the
king has learned; but certain men, scheming to impair the king's

themselves inducted, and ceasing not to do many other things to the
prejudice of the king and crown. |
