To Robert Stewart, canon of Aberdeen, M.A. Dispensation as below. After he had been successively dispensed by papal authority, as the son of a deacon and an unmarried woman (i) to be promoted to all, even holy orders and hold a benefice even with cure, (ii) to hold three other benefices compatible with one another, even if one of them were a canonry and prebend in a cathedral church, or a dignity, even with cure, and to resign them, for exchange or otherwise, once only, and hold instead four other benefices compatible with one another, the present pope made to him (having obtained the canonry and prebend of Der in Aberdeen, value not exceeding 10l. sterling, which he still holds) provision of a canonry, with reservation of a prebend and a dignity etc., of Glasgow, and reservation of a benefice with or without cure in the common or several gift of the bishop and the prior and chapter etc. of St. Andrews, even if it were a dignity etc., in a cathedral or a collegiate church, even if elective and with cure, and dispensed him to hold the said canonry of Glasgow and prebend and one of such dignities etc., subsequently dispensing him to hold any benefices with or without cure, of any number and kind, compatible with one another and with the aforesaid, even if they were canonries and prebends, dignities (major or principal accordingly) in cathedral, metropolitan or collegiate churches, and if such dignities etc. were elective and had cure, and to resign all the aforesaid benefices, simply or for exchange, as often as he pleased, and hold instead mutually compatible benefices. The pope now, at the petition of the said Robert and that of James, king of Scots, whose kinsman he is, dispenses him to hold for life any two benefices with cure or otherwise incompatible, even if they be dignities etc. in cathedral, metropolitan or collegiate churches, even if such dignities etc. be elective and have cure, and to resign them and any other incompatible benefices which he shall obtain, simply or for exchange, as often as he pleases. Nobilitas generis, litterarum etc. (An. and P. de Montella. | An. xxxx. de Adria.) |
