inter abbatem de Tothill et priorem ecclesie Sancte Trinitatis pro xxijs. predictis et
pro xixs. vjd. in parochia Sancti Botolphi extra Algate. Tandem concordati sunt
per arbitrium Whattenow et Jacobi Braddeman lege peritorum viz. quod dictus
prior pardoneret dicto abbati vijli. ixs. et quod dictus abbas solveret dicto priori
Cs. pro arreragiis et sic factum est ut patet per acquietanciam (ponentem) in
quadam pixide ubi cetere composiciones inter dominum abbatem et priorem
ponuntur etc.
