Teatification that, whereas the king by letters patent lately granted to John de Warenna, earl of Surrey, the advowsons of churches pertaining to the alien priory of Lewes, for such time as the priory should be in his hands on account of the war with France, although he has since restored to the prior the priory with the knights fees, advowsons of churches, goods and all other appurtenances, to hold as the prior held them before they were taken into his hands, yet at the time of restitution it was, and still is, his intention and the prior at his command by letters certified him in the chancery that it is also his wish that during the war the advowsons should be with the earl, the presentations to vicarages pertaining to the priory only being reserved to the prior in the meantime. By p.s. and letter of the prior remaining in the files of the chancery.
