To Richard Clepham, priest of the diocese of St. Andrews, bachelor of canon law. Collation and provision, as below. The pope lately, upon learning that the precentorship of Moray, a non-major dignity with cure, was void by the death of Andrew de Tulach, ordered provision thereof to be made, first to the late Adam de Hammylton, and then to Andrew de Duresder, clerk, of the dioceses of St. Andrews and Glasgow. Afterwards the pope made provision to Adam of the rectory of Kyrkynnir in the diocese of Whiteherne [above, Reg. Vat. CCCCIX, f. 53] and to Andrew of the deanery of Aberdeen, a major dignity [ibid., f. 224d], whereby, inasmuch as upon obtaining the said benefices all their right in or to the said precentorship would become void, he reserved it or such right to his gift, for collation to the above Richard [ibid., f. 174]. Seeing that subsequently the said Adam [de Hammylton] died at the apostolic see without having had possession of the said precentorship and parish church, whereby the former became and is void, and is reserved under the pope's late reservation of all dignities etc. void at the said see, the pope hereby makes collation and provision of it, value not exceeding 40l. sterling, to the above Richard, whether it be void as stated, or be still void by the death of the said Andrew [de] Tulach, or by his resignation or those of the said Adam [de Hammylton] or Andrew de Duresder, or in any other way.

To William Hoge, priest, of the diocese of St. Andrews, bachelor of canon law. Reservation, as below. The pope recently ordered provision to be made to Richard Clepham, priest, of the diocese of St. Andrews, of the precentorship of Moray, a non-major dignity with cure, void by the parish church of Kyrkynniyr in the diocese of Whiteherne or the deanery of Aberdeen being respectively obtained by the late Adam de Hamylton and Andrew de Duresder of the dioceses of Glasgow and St. Andrews, or by the resignation of the said precentorship by [the late] Andrew de Tulach to the ordinary. Afterwards, upon the said precentorship becoming void by the death of the said Adam at the apostolic see, the pope made collation and provision of it to the said Richard [above, f. 83d]. Seeing that Richard consents to the reservation upon the fruits etc. thereof of a perpetual yearly pension of 20l. sterling, the pope reserves and assigns to the above William the said pension for life, to be paid by Richard or his successors, half on SS. Philip and James's, half on St. Martin's, in the town of St. Johns in the diocese of St. Andrews, etc. Litterarum etc. [See another form of the reservation, above, Reg. Vat. CCCCIX, f. 54d.]

To Nicholas Blare, archdeacon of Orkney. Collation and provision, as below. The pope made provision of the subdeanery of Glasgow, a dignity [cf. above, Reg. Vat. CCCCIX, f. 172d], void in a certain way and previously reserved, to the late Christopher Gynys, clerk, to whom provision had previously been made [ibid., f. 139] of the archdeaconry of Orkney, on its voidance by the death of Andrew de Tuloch, whereof the said Christopher was not in possession, which, if he obtained it meanwhile, or all right in or to it, he was to resign upon obtaining the said subdeanery. Seeing that the said archdeaconry has become void at the apostolic see, and therefore reserved, by the death there of the said Christopher without having had possession of it, and without obtaining the said subdeanery, the pope hereby makes collation and provision to the above Nicholas, who has spent much money in following the Roman court, of the said archdeaconry, a major elective dignity with cure, value not exceeding 20l. sterling; notwithstanding that he holds the rectory of Dunnottir in the diocese of St. Andrews, value [likewise] not exceeding 20l. sterling, and that the pope lately made provision to him of a canonry of Aberdeen and another of Brechin, with reservation of as many prebends and of a dignity etc. of one of them. He is hereby dispensed to hold the said rectory with the said archdeaconry for life, if he get it, and to resign them, simply or for exchange, as often as he pleases, and hold instead two other incompatible benefices, provided that they be not two parish churches or perpetual vicarages nor one of each. Upon obtaining the said archdeaconry the said other expectative letters shall be null as far only as regards other incompatible benefices. Vite etc.
