At the said petition of Raymond, adding that on account of his said oath he is prevented from prosecuting his right to the rectory, the pope orders the above canon to summon the said William and others concerned, and if the facts be as stated, to declare that the said auditor's absolution was and is lawful, to relax Raymond's said oath and the money penalty, · to restore him to the position in which he was therebefore, and to hear and decide the cause without appeal.

At the said petition (which added that if it were specially granted to them to be able to accept and perform the said offices and services, a number of the faithful would from time to time give them obventions and emoluments for such performance), the pope orders the above treasurer, if he find that the said means are insufficient for the maintenance of the said chaplains, to grant that they may perform the said offices and services, and receive such obventions and emoluments.
