To Master John (fn. 4) Franciscus Pavinus, a papal chaplain and auditor of causes of the apostolic palace. Mandate, as below. It was lately set forth to pope on behalf of John Abbernethy, (fn. 5) clerk, of the diocese of Aberdeen, that the late James, bishop of St. Andrews, under pretext of a faculty granted to him by Nicholas V, and revoked by Calixtus III and Pius II, to dispense to holy orders in respect of illegitimacy and two benefices, after the said revocation dispensed the said John, notwithstanding his illegitimacy as the son of a married man and an unmarried woman, to be promoted to all, even holy orders and hold two compatible benefices, in virtue of which he was made a clerk and was promoted to the order of acolyte: that thereafter a cause arose between him and Thomas Kennedy, John Graham and William Lyon, clerks, about the parish church of Tanades in the diocese of St. Andrews, which, being void by the death of James Kennedy, [the said] John Abbernethy (in virtue of letters of the present pope, ordering provision to be made to him of one or two benefices wont to be assigned to secular clerks, even if one had cure, etc., in the common or several gift of the bishops of St. Andrews and Moray, the prior of St. Andrews and the dean etc. of Moray, and the chapters etc. of those churches, and dispensing him to hold such benefice or benefices) accepted, and had provision made to him thereof, which acceptance and provision the said Thomas, John Graham and William opposed and still oppose, preventing them from taking effect; that the pope at Abbernethy's instance committed the cause, although not lawfully devolved to the Roman court, to the above auditor, who has proceeded short of a conclusion; that, the said Thomas having abandoned the suit, and resigned to the pope all his right in or to the said church, the pope by certain letters ordered the said auditor to surrogate Abbernethy to Thomas's alleged right etc., and to collate and assign to him the said church; that subsequently, upon the said John Graham likewise abandoning the suit, and resigning to the pope all his right etc., the pope under date Non. Oct. anno 7 [1470] granted letters of surrogation to James Inglis, priest, of the diocese of Glasgow. At Abbernethy's recent petition, containing that, the letters concerning the said grant not being yet drawn up, Inglis proposes to resign it and all right in or to the church, and that the said William has likewise abandoned the suit and resigned all right, the pope, who by way of safeguard (fn. 6)
dispensed Abbernethy by his said letters to the above auditor to act as a clerk, minister in his orders, and receive and retain for life the said church, hereby orders the above auditor to receive from the said James Inglis and William their said respective resignations, and to admit the same, and thereupon to surrogate Abbernethy to all right belonging to the said John Graham, James Inglis and William at the time of the said resignations, etc., admit him to possession of the said church, in which is still the said William, and, moreover, to collate and assign it to him, value not exceeding 40l. sterling, reserving to Inglis a yearly life pension of a third part of the fruits etc., to be paid by Abbernethy and his successors. As soon as he obtains possession, the pope's first letters shall be null and void as far as regards a benefice with cure, etc. Apostolice sedis. (L. Dathus. | xxxx. G. Pele. A. de Senis. Collat. G.

To the treasurer of London and the chancellor of Wells. Mandate, as below. The recent petition of the dean and chapter of York contained that John Bothe, now bishop of Exeter, then treasurer of York, at the instance and with the authority and consent of the late William, archbishop of York, freely gave to Robert Cliffton, knight, and other laymen, the advowson or patronage of the parish church of Nether Walopp’ in the diocese of Winchester, which belonged to the treasurership of York, and which he was then holding; that the said Robert and others, with consent of the said archbishop and treasurer, freely gave the said patronage or advowson to the said dean and chapter, in order that the church should be united to the capitular mensa for the maintenance of the vicars choral; and that William, bishop of Winchester, at the instance of the said dean and chapter, and with consent of the prior and chapter of Winchester and of the archdeacon of the place, united the said church in perpetuity to the said mensa for the said maintenance, reserving a portion for a perpetual vicar, so that on the death or resignation of the then rector the dean and chapter might take possession etc. Afterwards, on the voidance of the said church by the resignation of Richard Feu(n)to (? recte Fenton), made to the said bishop William, the said dean and chapter obtained possession of the church, and still hold it, but Hugh Pakenham, layman, of the diocese of London, alleging that the manor (dominium) of Mottesfont in the county of Southampton, in the said diocese of Winchester, lawfully belonging to the said treasurership, in which manor the said church is situate, had been leased (arredatum) to him by the said treasurer, and falsely alleging that the said patronage belonged to him during the said lease (arrenda), presented to the said bishop William [for institution] to the said church, being void as above, the late Thomas Paslew, who, upon the said bishop refusing to admit the presentation, appealed to the apostolic see, which appeal the pope has committed to Master John Francis de Pavinis, papal chaplain and auditor of causes of the apostolic palace, who has proceeded, short of a conclusion. The pope having learned that whilst the cause has been pending before the said auditor the said
Thomas has died, and the said petition adding that the dean and chapter doubt whether for certain reasons the said union holds good, and the pope having also learned that the church is still void as above, he hereby, at the said petition, orders the above two, if they find the facts to be as stated, to unite the said church, value (after deducting a vicar's portion) not exceeding 40 marks sterling of the money of England now current, to the said mensa in perpetuity for the said purpose.
