But afterwards William de Navesby, archdeacon of Chester, asserting that provision of the said church had been made to him by the bishop, took and held it for some time, a suit being brought in the papal palace in which sentences were given in favour of the abbot and convent. William, however, stating that Ralph's resignation having been made to the bishop, the pope, treating the church as void, and reserved before the said appropriation, gave it to Wilham, who procured to be inducted, and has molested the said religious, who to avoid these grievances, and in fear of greater losses, made a money bargain with William, binding themselves by an oath, on which William renounced his pretended right to the said church, which is now held by the religious. They therefore pray the pope to declare the appropriation valid, and to supply any defect there may be in it. The union and incorporation are to take effect, saving the right acquired by any other.
