And therefor My Lord hath writen to Doctor Gryg that he shuld suerly [procure to] have the pardon graunted acordyng to the minute sent to him by My Lord; the whiche if it may be obteyned it wolbe a great tresur for ever hereafter. And My Lord hath writen to Doctor Gryg; if that if any other way can be taken for thobteynyng thereof he shuld not take this way; but that this shuld be the last refugie. In the whiche it is to be thought that the Pope will liberally graunt to the said indulgence, considering that partly it shalbe his own cause and profict if it be graunted in moost ample forme; whiche I trust schalbe doen. Newes her be none worthy writing but such as I dar not write. When I have next any messenger I wol send unto Your Lordship how the world goeth with us, which now suffer not a letell disease and payne; for my part I trust Your Lordship hath rememberd my manor or this tyme or els wol shortly, as my feith in you; who shall euer have my servise to do at your commandement.

Ita ut si Canturiensis Archiepiscopus concilium cogere voluerit, ubicunque visum ei fuerit, Eboracensis Archiepiscopus sui præsentiam, cum omnibus sibi subjectis, ad nutum ejus exhibeat, et ejus canonicis dispositionibus oboediens existat. Quod autem Eboracensis Archiepiscopus professionem Canturiensi Archiepiscopo facere, etiam cum sacramento, debeat, Lanfrancus Dorobernensis Archiepiscopus, ex antiqua antecessorum consuetudine ostendit; sed ob amorem Regis Thomæ Eboracensi Archiepiscopo sacramentum relaxavit, scriptamque tantum professionem recepit, |
