Papal Lett. IX, p. 403], which the said canon Dermit did, and that in virtue of his collation and provision John obtained possession; that afterwards the present pope (upon its being set forth to him by the said John, Thady (Thatianus) Ycearnaid, priest, of the said diocese, and Cormac Yagra and John Flauus (i.e. Flavus) [also] Yagra, the lords of the said lands, that although the said churches had long been ruled and governed by one rector, called the rector of Officarre and Beanfada, such mortal (capitales) enmities had arisen between the said lords that the said churches, which are of the patronage of laymen, could not be peaceably and quietly ruled and governed by one rector; and it being added that if the union of the said churches were dissolved and it were ordained that henceforth in perpetuity they should be ruled and governed by two rectors, and if, in order that their fruits etc. might be equal, two townlands called [the townlands] of Dubcarnd in the said rural lands of Beanfada were appropriated to the said church of Killluothreand or to the rural lands of Officarre, it would be to the great advantage of the said churches and their parishioners) [and its being alleged that the value of the fruits etc. of the said churches did not exceed 16 marks sterling a year]) ordered the archdeacon of Achonry, his name not being expressed, if he found the facts to be as stated, to dissolve the said union, decree that the said churches should henceforth in perpetuity be ruled and governed by two rectors, the rights of patronage being reserved to their respective patrons, and appropriate the said townlands in perpetuity to the said church of Killluothreand or to the rural lands of Officarre, and moreover, in the event of his making such separation, decree and appropriation, to collate and assign the said churches of Killluothreand and Killmactaig to the said John Ocluman and Thady respectively [see above, p. 427].
