The Bishops letter to the Abbot of Ensham.
MY louing brother, I recommend me hartely vnto you: and where as I haue, according to the lawe,* 1.1 put this bearer R.T. to perpetuall penaunce within your monastery of Ensham, there to liue as a penitent, and not otherwise, I pray you, and neuer∣thelesse, according vnto the law, cōmaund you to receiue him, & see ye order him there accordingly to his iniunctiōs which he wil shewe you, if ye require the same. As for his lodging, he will bring it with him. And his meat and drinke, he may haue such as ye geue of your almes. And if he can so order himselfe by his labour with∣in your house in your busines, whereby he may deserue his meate and drinke, so may you order him, as ye see conuenient to hys de∣sertes, so that he passe not the presynct of your monastery. And thus fare you hartely well from my place &c.
As touching the residue of the penaunce and punish∣ment inflicted to these men, they doe little or nothing disa∣gree, but had one order in them all. The maner and forme whereof in the sayd Bishops Register doth proceed in cō∣dition as foloweth.
