John archbishop of Canterbury. Signification that when bishop of Winchester he built and endowed in his native town of Stretford [on Avon] a chapel dedicated to St. Thomas the Martyr, as is set forth in a letter of the bishop of Worcester, and placed therein five priests, two of whom, the warden and sub-warden, were appointed for life, and made divers ordinances, which were confirmed by Adam, bishop of Worcester. But afterwards Simon, bishop of Worcester, at the instance of the warden, sub-warden, chaplains, patrons of the said place of Stretford, appropriated to it the church of Stretford, and among other things willed that in the said chapel and church there should be eight priests for celebrating divine offices, for which the warden should have what was necessary according to the archbishop's ordnance, to be made with the consent of the bishop of Worcester; who, both touching the oath to be taken by the said priests, and other matters, ordered many things to be done as seemed to him expedient. After this, archbishop John, observing that he, in the above ordinance made by him, retained the power of correcting and altering the former ordinance, and that bishop Simon had ordered that there should be eight priests in the said chapel besides the five originally appointed, who, like the others, except the warden and sub-warden, could be removed at the will of the warden, and others put in their places, and that what was necessary should be provided them by the warden, made many fresh ordinances, and corrected those first made as seemed him good, which ordinances were confirmed by bishop Simon. Wherefore the archbishop prays the pope to confirm the aforesaid foundation, appropriation and ordinances, supplying any defect that there may be from the absence of mention of the consent of the bishop and chapter of Worcester. Granted. Villeneuve by Avignon, 9 Kal. July.

Signification that although the master, priors, brethren, and sisters of the order of Sempringham, immediately subject to the Roman church, are exempt from ordinary or legatine authority, nevertheless certain ordinaries endeavour to enforce jurisdiction over them.

Raymund, cardinal of New St. Mary's. Signification that his chaplain, John de Vienna, canon of Salisbury, borrowed from Richard de Thormerton at the Roman court 30 gold florins, and was sentenced under pain of excommunication to pay the same within a fixed term, and that John, returning to England, duly paid the same to an agent commonly called a bailiff in Richard's church of Bisschopeston, in the diocese of Salisbury, and received an acquittance, and that subsequently the pope made provision to John of a canonry of Salisbury, and prebend of Axford and Heydon in Salisbury, but John had a scruple touching the sentence of excommunication, inasmuch as the sum although paid in due time was not paid at the appointed place, and he was absolved from the said sentence. Wherefore the said cardinal prays the pope on behalf of the said John to validate the provision of the said canonry and prebend, whose value does not exceed 6l.

Whereas Gregory IX. made order touching oblations and alms offered at the altars of poor religious but some rectors litigate in regard to this, not allowing the friars to celebrate in chapels outside their principal oratory, nor to receive oblations therein, the pope is prayed to command that no rector, prelate, or any other shall presume to lay claim to oblations made at any altars wheresoever of the petitioners, or given into the priest's hand, or before the images of saints in places belonging to the petitioners, and that any attempt to do so shall be stopped, the same to apply to causes now in litigation.
They are to have under the pope's bull whatever the decretal of Gregory IX. gave them, but note is to be made in the papal chancery whether such decretal applies only to Friars Preachers and Friars Minors, or whether it extends to Carmelites; compositions and transactions already made touching the same are to be respected.
