A papal indult had been granted to the said abbot and convent, that no chapel or oratory should be built within a mile of their altar without their consent, and the Friars Minors, having obtained a site, were ordered to give it up by pope Alexander; but thereupon another was granted to them for a temporary dwelling, within the prescribed limit, by sub-delegates, as they say, appointed by the archbishop of Canterbury and the dean of Lincoln, who said they were deputed to do so by the pope; and the Friars Minors relying on the secular power held it, and began to build, to the prejudice of the said abbot and convent.
