1454. 10 Kal. Aug. (23 July.) St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 8d.)	To the abbot of Cluayneoys in the diocese of Clogher. Mandate, as below. The recent petition of Terence Ocayrbry priest, of the diocese of Clogher, contained that formerly, after Martin V's renewal and reservation to himself and his successors of absolution from all sentences of excommunication etc. for simony, the present pope, upon being informed by the said Terence that Patrick Ofuadachan, then perpetual vicar of St. Fergus's (Sancti Fergussii) de Ynyscaeyn in the said diocese, was a public concubinary and dissipator and dilapidator of the goods of the said vicarage and had committed other crimes [not here expressed], ordered Edmund Magugyr, a canon of Clogher, and certain colleagues, if and after Terence accused Patrick before them, to summon him, and if they found the foregoing to be true, to deprive and remove him, and in that event to collate and assign the said vicarage [value not here stated] to Terence; that after Terence had caused Patrick to be summoned before the said Edmund and had accused him, and Edmund had proceeded short of a conclusion, Terence and Patrick agreed upon certain arbitrators, who in Edmund's presence ordained and awarded that sentence of privation and removal should be delivered by Edmund against Patrick, and provision made to Terence of the vicarage as void by such deprivation and removal, and that, the said sentence and provision notwithstanding, Terence should allow Patrick to retain the vicarage for his life and enjoy peaceable possession of it, in consideration of which Patrick should be bound to pay a certain sum of money to Terence; that, after the consent of Terence and Patrick to the said arbitration or award had been given, the said Edmund, proceeding in the cause. promulgated a definitive sentence, which became a res judicata. and by which he deprived and removed by papal authority the said Patrick. and made collation and provision to Terence; and that Patrick, acquiescing in the sentence, unduly detained, in accordance with the said agreement, possession of the vicarage for several years without any canonical title, and with Terence's permission, and paid the said sum to Terence; wherefore Terence, by committing simony, has incurred the said sentences etc., and, being under them, has celebrated masses etc. The pope therefore orders the above abbot to absolve Terence from all the said sentences etc., enjoining penance, dispense him on account of irregularity, and rehabilitate him. Sedes apostolica, pia mater. (P. and G. Gonne. \| P. Gratis pro deo. de Varris.) [3 pp. See above, pp. 505, 636.]

Dispensation to him (who is a priest and was formerly dispensed by papal authority, on account of illegitimacy as the son of a married man of royal race and an unmarried woman, to be promoted to all, even holy orders and hold a benefice even with cure, after which he was so promoted and obtained by canonical collation the said church) to hold any other benefice with or without cure, even if a canonry and prebend or a dignity etc., and resign it, simply or for exchange.

The recent petition of John Pury, nobleman, lord of the place or manor of Cambrehous and Isabel his wife, noblewoman [of the diocese of Salisbury], contained that they and their children and household inhabit the said manor, which is within the parish and is very distant from the parish church of Thacham in the said [sic] (fn. 4) diocese, and that, inasmuch as at divers times of the year they cannot go to the said church on account of the danger of the waters, they desire to build etc. in the said manor a chapel of Holy Trinity and St. Mary the Virgin, with a baptismal font, bell-tower and bells etc., for the administration of the sacraments and sacramentals. and to found and endow both in the said chapel and in the said church perpetual chaplaincies or chantries for chaplains to administer to them and their household etc. all the sacraments and sacramentals except burial, and celebrate divine offices for their souls and to pray for them. The pope therefore orders the above bishop to summon the rector of the said church and others concerned, and if he find the foregoing to be lawful, to grant them licence to build the said chapel and have it consecrated and blessed by the bishop of the diocese, to found and endow the said chaplaincies or chantries in the said chapel and church, and to cause therein (in eis) masses etc. to be celebrated, even solemnly and sung (alta voce), by the said chaplains and any other fit priests and ministers chosen by them, and the sacraments and sacramentals, except burial, to be administered, in the said chapel, without prejudice to the said parish church, by the said priests and chaplains, and have their children baptised in the said chapel, without requiring licence of the diocesan or any other. The said bishop is also to reserve to them in perpetuity, after they have sufficiently endowed the chapel and such chaplaincies or chantries, and to their heirs and successors, the patronage and presentation of the said chapel and chaplaincies, both for the first time and as often as there is a voidance.

Prid. Non. July. (6 July.) St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 274d.)	To the bishop of Lismore. Mandate, as below.

At the said petition, adding that Gillacius has acquiesced in the said sentence, resigned the said vicarage to William, and made an agreement with him in regard to the said fruits and costs, the pope hereby orders the above bishop to summon William and others concerned, and if he find that the said satisfaction, obedience and agreement have taken place, to absolve Gillacius from the said sentence etc., enjoining penance, and dispense him on account of irregularity contracted by celebrating masses etc. when under the said sentence etc. Humilibus supplicum votis.
