This sentence the pope hereby confirms. Ad fut. rei mem. Romani pontificis.

William desires to exchange and resign therefor his rectory of Kyllmaneayn in the same diocese, dependent on the said monastery, nearer thereto, and more profitable than the yearly pension of the said rectory of Catha [i] rbreslayn. Upon obtaining the latter he is to resign Kyllmaneayn. The pope grants him for life that he can [not] be removed by anybody except the pope. Religionis zelus, vite etc.

William's recent petition contained that archbishop Peter cited him to an unsafe place, and caused him to be excommunicated, and that the canons of the priory refuse him obedience. The bishop is ordered, if he find the above to be true, to absolve prior William from the archbishop's sentences; to warn the said canons and other subjects of the priory, under pain of excommunication, which after the lapse of a term to be fixed by the bishop they shall eo ipso incur, to obey the said prior; and to remove any illicit detainer.
