Mandate as below, the pope having learned from John Wer, rector of Lyne in the diocese of Glasgow, bachelor of canon law, by both parents of noble birth, that the late John de Erskyne and John Busby agreed to exchange the chancellorship of Glasgow with its annexed canonry and prebend of Camsy, and the parish church of Eglisame in the said diocese, value not exceeding 60 and 40l. of old sterlings respectively, on divers simoniacal conditions, e. g. that Busby should pay Erskyne 40 marks of the usual money of those parts; and that bishop William, perhaps in ignorance of the agreement, carried out the exchange. The pope hereby orders the above auditor, if Wer duly accuses Busby, to summon the latter and others concerned, and, if he find the facts to be as stated, to declare the bishop's proceedings null and void, and in that event to collate and assign the said chancellorship, a non-major, non-elective dignity with cure, and its said annexed canonry and prebend, to Wer; notwithstanding that he holds Lyne, value not exceeding 20 marks, and that the pope has lately [p. 101] ordered provision to be made to him of a canonry of Glasgow with expectation of a prebend and dignity etc., and of a benefice with or without cure, wont to be assigned to secular clerks, in the gift of the bishop and the prior and chapter of St. Andrews.
