Lately, after he had been dispensed by papal authority to hold for life any two benefices with cure or otherwise incompatible, even if dignities etc. or parish churches etc., and to resign them, simply or for exchange, as often as he pleased, Eugenius IV dispensed him to hold for five years any other benefice with cure or otherwise incompatible, even if likewise a major or a principal dignity, elective and with cure, as is contained in letters of the present pope, those of pope Eugenius not having been drawn up by reason of his death. The pope now grants to him, who is a clerk of the papal camera and is still within the said five years, a prolongation of the said five years by other seven. (fn. 1) Grata devotionis obsequia.
