Prem… in the same diocese, value 9l. sterling, then void by the death of John Akyngan (fn. 2)extra R.c., and so long void that its collation had lapsed to the apostolic see, although Thomas Oliver, behaving as a canon of the said order, had detained it for between one and two years.

To the official of Glasgow. Mandate, as below. The recent petition of Andrew Stewart, clerk, of the diocese of Glasgow, M.A., contained that after Pius II had revoked all faculties granted to any bishops etc. to dispense on account of illegitimacy, the bishop of Glasgow, alleging that he had special faculty from Calixtus iii, dispensed in virtue thereof the said Andrew on account of illegitimacy, as the son of an unmarried nobleman and an unmarried woman, to be promoted to all, even holy orders and hold two incompatible benefices, after which, without having obtained any other dispensation, he had himself so promoted, and the lay patrons of the canonry and prebend of Kylleren in Glasgow presented him, on their voidance, to the said bishop, who instituted him, under pretext of which presentation and institution he obtained possession, and has detained them for about eleven years in good faith. The said presentation and institution being therefore without force, the pope hereby orders the above official to collate and assign to him the said canonry and prebend, value 15l. sterling. The pope further dispenses him to use and minister in the said orders, even in the ministry of the altar, and to receive and retain the said canonry and prebend and any other three compatible benefices with or without cure, and to resign them, simply or for exchange, as often as he pleases, notwithstanding the constitutions of Otto and Ottobon, sometime legates in England, etc. Before these presents are executed, he is to resign the said canonry and prebend. Dignum etc. (At the end: P. xxxxv. Septimo Kal. Junii anno secundo. de Varris). [3½ pp.]
