The recent petition of Thomas Penven, rector of the parish church of Taubarten’ in the diocese of Glasgow, bachelor in decrees, contained that he and the late Adam de Auchinlek, desiring to exchange a canonry of Glasgow and the prebend de Glasgu primo and a canonry of Glasgow and the prebend of Kirkmanchquho (fn. 2) respectively, resigned them to the ordinary, who made the exchange, in virtue of whose collation and provision Thomas obtained the said canonry and prebend of Kirkmanchquho, and is still in possession, but now doubts whether the said collation and provision hold good. The pope therefore (absolving Thomas, as far only as regards the taking effect of these presents, from any sentences of excommunication etc. arising from any cause, and perhaps inflicted by Master Peter de Valle, a chaplain of the present pope and an auditor of causes of the apostolic palaces, in a cause before him by papal commission between the said Thomas and John Donaldi, clerk, of the diocese of Glasgow, about the chancellorship of Dunkeld, and dispensing him on account of irregularity contracted when under the said sentences) orders the above three to collate and assign to Thomas, who is a priest and M.A., the said canonry and prebend of Kirkmanchquho, which is of the patronage of laymen and the patron of which consented to the said collation and provision made to Thomas, as above, and the value of which does not exceed 80l. of old sterlings, whether void as above, or by the death of the said Adam, or in any other way; notwithstanding that he holds the said church, value not exceeding 16l. of old sterlings, and that provision was lately made to him of the said chancellorship, a non major dignity with cure, of which he is not in possession, value not exceeding 20l. of old sterlings, and that he was lately dispensed by papal authority to receiveand retain for life, together with the chancellorship, a dignity etc. or a benefice with cure, in virtue of papal letters ordering provision to be made to him thereof, or any two other benefices with cure or otherwise incompatible, even if dignities etc. and to resign them, simply or for exchange, as often as he pleased, and receive instead two other incompatible benefices and retain them for life, or for two years only in the case of major or principal dignities or one of such and a parish church.

He is hereby dispensed to receive the said rectory of Tempulruayn, and retain it for life together with the said vicarage and rectory of Rathcormayk, notwithstanding the said defect etc. Vite etc. (P. and G.

Mandate (the pope having been informed by Thady Olongayn, clerk, of the diocese of Meath, that Henry Ocynga, rector of the parish church of Achnurcayr in the said diocese, has openly kept a concubine and dilapidated etc. and uselessly consumed the goods of the rectory and committed simony) if and after Thady (who is in about his twenty-third year, and lately had himself made a clerk notwithstanding his illegitimacy as the son of a priest of the order of St. Augustine and an unmarried woman, accuses Henry, who also neglects to reside in the said rectory, and from fear of whose power Thady has no hope of obtaining justice in the city or diocese of Meath, before the above three, to summon Henry and others concerned, and if they find the foregoing to be true, or one of them enough for the purpose, to deprive and remove Henry, and in that event to collate and assign the rectory, value not exceeding 30 marks sterling, to Thady, whom the pope hereby dispenses to be promoted to all even holy orders and receive and retain it, notwithstanding the said defect etc. Vite etc. (H. and G.
