Order to the archbishop and the penitentiary of York, and S. monk of Rievaux, on information that some rectors of churches and chapels of the city and -diocese care only for the milk and wool of their flocks, and are more or less non-resident. Those who have no papal dispensation are to return to their cures within three months, those who have an indult for nonresidence are to appoint perpetual vicars, able to support the episcopal, archidiaconal, repairing (sarcitectorwm), and other charges: and pluralists with papal indults are to do the like. Indult to the prior and convent of Meriton, in the diocese of Winchester, that they shall not be summoned to answer in a cause in which they are concerned, relating to their property, at a distance of more than two days journey from their monastery, unless special mention be made of this indult in the papal letters, Inhibition to the archbishop of Cashel and his suffragans to submit to secular judgment, even if they themselves be willing to yield thereto.
