Apostolatus officium.
	Concurrent letters to the chapters of Cork and Cloyne, to the clergies and to the peoples of the two cities and dioceses, and to the vassals of the two churches—Apostolatus etc.; to the archbishop of Cashel—Ad cumulum; and to Henry, king of England—Gracie divine.
Ibid. (f. 187.)	To the bishop of Kildare (Deren., rectius Daren.). Mandate to make provision to John Ysuibne, Cistercian monk of Leix (de Lege Dei) in the diocese of Leighlin, priest, of the Cistercian monastery of St. Mary, Monasterevin (de Rossa valle), in the said bishop's diocese (tue diocesis), value not exceeding 10 marks, void by the deprivation, made by David, Cistercian abbot of Baltinglass (de Valle salutis), father-abbot of St. Mary's, of Fergallus Omulian [Omallyan in Cal. Lett. VII, p. 494], monk, then abbot thereof, for his faults and demerits, who has nevertheless continued for about two years since the said deprivation to hold possession. The above bishop is further to bless John, or cause him to be blessed by another bishop, and his oath of fealty is to be sent to the pope as usual, etc. Ex suscepte servitutis. (Ri. xxxx. Nono Kal. Septembris Anno Duodecimo.coldus.)
1429. 7 Kal. Sept. Ferentino. (f. 192.)	To William, abbot of the Cistercian monastery of Cupar (de Cupro) in the diocese of St. Andrews. Provision to him, Cistercian abbot of Kynlos in the diocese of Moray, of the above abbey, void and reserved by the resignation of Thomas de Furd, monk, then abbot thereof, made at the apostolic see by his proctor James Skirmegeour, dean of Aberdeen, D.C.L., to Lewis, cardinal priest of St. Cecilia's, and admitted by the pope. Before taking possession of the administration he is to take to the bishops of St. Andrews and Aberdeen the usual oath of fealty, etc. Summi disposicione rectoris. [See below, p. 144.]
	Concurrent letters to the convent and to the vassals of Cupar, and to the abbot of Citeaux—Summi etc; and to James, king of Scotland—Gracie divine.
10 Kal. Feb. SS. Apostoli, Rome. (f. 221.)	To the abbot of Ballintober (de Fonte Sancti Patricii) in the diocese of Tuam. Mandate as below. Lately the pope, on being informed by Odo Ohuigind, Augustinian canon of Cluaneis in the diocese of Clogher, that Thomas, Augustinian abbot of St. Michael's, Mayo, in the diocese of Tuam, had long kept a concubine by whom he had begotten sons and daughters, still living, had neglected and was neglecting to reside in the monastery and rule it and celebrate divine offices therein, and had been guilty of dilapidation, simony, perjury and many other crimes, ordered the abbot of Knockmoy (Collis victorie) in the diocese of Tuam, if Odo would accuse Thomas before him, to summon Thomas and others concerned, and if he found the above or enough thereof to be true, to deprive Thomas, and in that event to make provision of the said monastery to Odo (who was lately dispensed by papal authority, as the son of an unmarried man and an unmarried woman, to be promoted to all, even holy orders and hold a benefice even with cure), the pope at the same time dispensing him to hold the monastery. Odo's recent petition contained that the late Cornelius, abbot of Knockmoy, proceeding as above, deprived Thomas and made provision to Odo, and that Thomas appealed to the apostolic see, impetrated letters, in the matter of his appeal, addressed to the abbot of St. John the Evangelist's, Tuam, and caused Odo to be summoned before John, abbot of St. John's, who by a definitive sentence confirmed the sentence of the said abbot Cornelius; that Thomas again appealed to the said see and impetrated similar letters addressed to the archdeacon of Tuam, and that archdeacon John, Odo having been summoned before him, by an unjust definitive sentence revoked the aforesaid sentences, from which last sentence Odo has appealed to the said see. Seeing that, as the said petition added, the said first letters, in virtue of which Odo obtained possession, mentioned his illegitimacy as the son of an unmarried man and an unmarried woman, but did not express that the said man and woman were related in the second and third degrees of kindred on the one side and in the third and fourth on the other, and that therefore some hesitate as to the validity of the said letters, and that Odo himself fears molestation in the future, the pope orders the above abbot to hear the cause of the said last appeal and decide it, and if he find that the said deprivation was otherwise lawfully made, to grant to Odo that the said first letters and their consequences shall hold good from the present date as if full and express mention had been made therein of the said kinship, and to cause provision to be made to him anew, as far as necessary, in accordance therewith.Inter solicitudines. (Ri. xxvi. coldus (sic). Terciodecimo Kal. Maii Anno Duodecimo. coldus.)

Provision to him, a Friar Minor, in priest's orders, of the said see, of which, on its voidance by the death of Nicholas, during whose life it had been specially reserved by the pope, the pope made provision to Thomas de Burgo, Augustinian canon of Clare (de Forgio) in the diocese of Killaloe, on 14 Kal. Jan.anno 9 [1425], which provision is void because the said Thomas did not have the letters thereof expedited within the lawful time. Inter cetera. [See Cal. Lett. VII, pp. 426, 460.]
	Concurrent letters to the chapter, to the clergy and to the people of the city and diocese—Inter etc.; to the archbishop of Cashel—Ad cumulum; and to Henry, king of England—Gracie diuine.
