Mandate, motu proprio, to surrogate Philip, bishop of Ostia, to the late John Stacy, clerk, in respect of the canonry and prebend of Massan in York, value 200 marks, and to collate and assign the same to him. A cause arose between the said cardinal and Stacy about the said canonry and prebend, provision of which the former asserted to have been made to him by papal authority on their voidance at the apostolic see by the death of John Mombray, papal notary, during whose lifetime they had been reserved, which provision Stacy opposed, hindering it from taking effect and intruding himself. The cause, although not lawfully devolving to the Roman court, was committed by Urban VI. to Master John Egidii, who cited Stacy, and to the late [Master] Henry Godbarn; by the present pope to Master John de Dulmen, chaplains and auditors, and then to the above Master Hermann, while the cause was pending before whom Stacy has died in possession.

De Curia.

15 Kal. Oct.
St. Peter's, Rome.
(f. 275.)
To the archbishop of Canterbury. Mandate to enquire, etc. as below, inasmuch, as the pope's ears do not cease to be stricken with the reports of the ever-growing strength in England and Wales, and especially in the province of Canterbury, of a certain crafty (dolosa), and bold sect of pseudo-christians, who call themselves the poor men of the treasure of Christ and His disciples, and whom the vulgar call by the sounder (saniori) name of Lo[l]lards, like dry tares (quasi lolium aridum). These— not men, but damnable shades of men (virorum ombre damnose), some of whom are in a measure (prope modum) lettered, do not fear, to the subversion of all ecclesiastical order, under a pretended humility, devotion, and abstinence, to publish, preach, and openly also to write and affirm against the orthodox faith and the Holy Roman and universal church, in whose bosom they learned letters to the confusion and eternal damnation of themselves and many, a number of erroneous, detestable, and heretical articles, of which the pope has thought good to express a few [viz. the 4th, 3rd, 11th, 5th, and 7th]. They assert with polluted mouth that in the sacrament of the Eucharist, which is shown to Christian people by the hands and ministry of priests, the body of Christ, which they say has never left (exivit) heaven, is present not objectively, but only subjectively by grace (non realiter and habitualiter tantum existat), and in that way any faithful man and woman can, according to the law of God (de lege Dei), without any miracle make the sacrament of His bread (facere sacramentum sui panis). They add that the law of continence for priests and holy virgins is the cause of greatest sins, which the pope denies, the continent man being able by holy fasts and assiduous prayers, with the grace of God, to preserve his integrity unsullied (intemperatam); that exorcisms and blessings in church of wine, bread, water, oil, salt, wax, incense, the altar stone, church walls, vestments, mitres, pastoral or pilgrims’ staves, are practices of necromancy; that special prayers for the dead are a false foundation of alms, and other detestable and erroneous articles. The archbishop is to make enquiry against all, both men and women, of the said sect, in his city, diocese, and province, and warn and require them to return to the unity of the catholic faith; and on their refusal, to strip those who are ecclesiastics of all prerogative of their order, and leave them to be punished by the secular power, and to leave those who are laymen to be punished by the secular judge; declaring them and their defenders anathema, and laying the places where they dwell and through which they pass under interdict; depriving them of ecclesiastical burial, and causing their goods to be applied to the revenue (fisco) of their immediate lord; invoking, if expedient, the aid of the secular arm; compelling contradictors and rebels, ecclesiastical and mundane, by ecclesiastical censure, without appeal. The archbishop is urged to act without fear or pusillanimity, otherwise the pope will be compelled, against his will, to provide severly against his negligence. (De curia.)
