1473 [? recte 1474]. (fn. 4) 13 Kal. June. (20 May.) St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 75r.)	To the abbots of Paisley (de Pasleto) and Corsraguel, in the diocese of Glasgow. Mandate, as below. The recent petition of John Ros and the heirs of the late Walter Stuart, laymen, of the diocese of Glasgow, contained that in the chapel, ruined in walls and roof, of St. Thomas the Martyr without and near the city of Glasgow (to the chaplain of which the said John and heirs, by reason of their goods in the county of Renfreu, in the said diocese, pay 10 marks a year of the usual money of Scotland), the divine office is rarely celebrated; and prayed that the said chapel (value not exceeding 10 marks of the usual money of Scotland, worth no more than 8 gold florins of the Camera) should be united in perpetuity to the chaplaincy (value not exceeding 30 similar marks) at the altar of the same St. Thomas in the neighbouring parish church of Renfreu (to which the said layman are nearer, and in which the bodies of the parents (fn. 5) of the said John are buried), and that it should be ordained that the masses and other divine offices wont to be celebrated in the said chapel, which is without cure, should be celebrated in the said church at the said altar. The pope, therefore, hereby orders the above two abbots to summon those concerned, and if they find the facts to be as stated, to unite in perpetuity the said chapel, as soon as it becomes void by the cession or death of the present rector, or his resigning it in any way, to the said chaplaincy, and to ordain that the masses and other divine offices wont to be celebrated in the said chapel shall be celebrated at the said altar, etc. Ad ea ex iniuncto nobis.
