To the abbot of Derry (Celle nigre) in the diocese of Derry. Mandate, as below.

At the said petition, therefore, the pope hereby orders the above abbot to grant by papal authority licence to the present vicar and to the vicar for the time being of the said province to build two such houses, with churches, low bell-towers, (fn. 6) bells, cloisters, refectories, cemeteries, etc., or to receive them, and licence to the said friars for ever to inhabit them.

Ordinance, as below. The recent petition of abbot Thomas and the convent of St. Mary's without the walls of York, O.S.B., contained that the said Thomas and other abbots and the monks of the said monastery have been wont from Septuagesima Sunday to Quinquagesima Sunday, inclusive, (fn. 8) to eat the heads, feet and inwards of horned (?) animals, (fn. 9) and because such food is heavy, and the said monks sometimes take more of it than necessary, some of them at times fall seriously ill, by reason of which they cannot easily take part in divine offices, so that divine worship in the monastery suffers. The pope, therefore, at the said petition, ordains that from Septuagesima Sunday to Quinquagesima Sunday, inclusive, and on the Sunday before the feast of Christmas, when that feast falls on a Monday, the said Thomas and the abbots for the time being and the monks of the said monastery may in future, within the said monastery and whereever else they may be, eat flesh and other food like secular clerks in the said diocese.
