Honestis supplicum votis. (Pro deo.)

1413. 9 Kal. Aug. St. Anthony's, etc. (f. 243d.)	To Odo Macdiarmada, clerk, of the diocese of Elphin [cf. p. 240]. Grant to him—to whom, lately dispensed by authority of the ordinary, as the son of an unmarried man and an unmarried woman related in the third and fourth degrees of affinity, to be promoted to minor orders and hold a benefice without cure, the pope recently ordered a certain judge to make collation and provision of the deanery of Elphin, a major elective dignity with cure, then void by the death of Malachy Iflanagan and previously reserved to the pope, at the same time dispensing him to hold it [above, p. 240]; to whom the said judge made the collation and provision, and who has obtained possession, but who doubts whether the deanery became or is void, not as above, but by the deprivation, made by papal authority, of Donald Micdondchaid, or otherwise—that the said collation and provision and their effect shall hold good from the present date, even if the deanery did become void by the said deprivation or otherwise. Vite etc.
17 Kal. Nov. St. Anthony's, etc (f. 263d.)	To William Ranny, dean of Tuam. Grant that the collation and provision, ordered by Boniface IX to be made to him of the said deanery, a non-major dignity, value not exceeding 8 marks, on its voidance because the late James Cachyr held it, without dispensation, with certain incompatible benefices, shall hold good even though it became void otherwise than as above. Vite etc.
5 Kal. Jan. Lodi (Lauda). (f. 274d.)	To the bishop of Meath. Mandate to dispense John Malghan and Anne Palmer, of his diocese, to marry notwithstanding that they are related on one side in the third and on the other side in the third degree of kindred. Oblate nobis.

Peter and Paul and the dedication, and on All Saints, and during the octaves of certain of them, and the six days of Whitsun week, visit the chapel without the west door of the church of the Cistercian monastery of St. Mary the Virgin, Tintern, in the diocese of Llandaff, and give alms for the repair and decoration of its buildings and ornaments, in which chapel a picture (ymago) of St. Mary the Virgin has been fairly and honestly and devoutly placed (collocata) and, although the attempt has more than once been made, has been unable to be placed elsewhere, on account of which miracle and because mass is said daily by the monks at the altar of the said chapel, a very great multitude resorts to the chapel. Univ. Christifid, etc. Virga venustissima. (De mandato.)
