Exhortation to all faithful (the pope having learned that in the parishes and towns of Slebech and Mynwer in the diocese of St. Davids, which are very near the sea shore, there is an arm of the sea (aqua maris) which at times greatly swells, so that the parishioners and inhabitants and others who have to cross it cannot do so without danger of drowning, a fate which has overtaken many in times past) to give alms in aid of the proposed building by the said parishioners and inhabitants of a causeway over the said water; with relaxation hereby, during ten years, of a year and forty days of enjoined penance to penitents who do so. The pope forbids the present letters to be sent by questuarii, and declares them null if this be done, as also if any other indulgence, perpetual or for a period not yet expired, have been granted by him for the same object. Unir. Christifid… Quoniam ut ait apostolus. |

Her petition adds that she, who is still young and desires to be a mother, was above all led to make the promise because if she had not given John, who loved her tenderly, this consolation, he might have died in a state of sin (in eius anime preiudicium) on account of his excessive grief, or, if he had recovered, he might have loved her less and less every day.

John, who is a continual household chaplain of Richard, bishop of London, formerly received papal dispensation, when holding inter alia the parish church of Stone in the diocese of Rochester, to hold the same for two years together with any other benefice with cure or otherwise incompatible, and meanwhile to exchange one of them for a compatible benefice. Having in due course obtained the parish church of Confelde Parva in the diocese of London, he held it or some time with Stone in virtue of his said dispensation, resigned it, and obtained and, in ignorance of the law, believing it to be allowed by his said dispensation, held for more than a month with Stone the parish church of Hakeney in the diocese of London. He is to resign both Hakeney and Stone. Scdes apostolica. |

To the abbot of St. Mary's without the walls of York. Confirmation, as below. The recent petition of the inhabitants of Lepyngton in the diocese of York contained that archbishop Henry found, in course of a diocesan visitation, that although from time immemorial the rectors of Scrayngham, within the bounds of which parish Lepyngton is situate, had been bound to keep at the said (sic) chapel a priest to celebrate mass and other divine offices and administer all sacramentals and sacraments, but not burial, nevertheless Peter Bolton, the present rector, had withdrawn the said priest; and that the said archbishop, to whose arbitration both parties submitted, decreed that out of the fruits etc. due from the said inhabitants to the said church and its rector such chaplain should be kept as heretofore, eight marks a year being reserved therefrom for Peter and his successors. The above abbot is ordered, if he find the facts to be as stated, to confirm the archbishop's decree. Iis que pro divini cultus. |
