SUb his diebus, exorta est magna inter Richardum de Marisco Episcopum Dunel∣mensem,* 1.1 & ejusdem Ecclesiae monachos, dissensio; pro quibusdam libertatibus antiquis & consuetudinibus, quas iidem Monachi se gavisi sunt multis retro tempori∣bus habuisse. Episcopus autem fraudulenter Monachis significavit praedictis, veni∣rent ad eum cum privilegiis suis & Ecclesiae suae instrumentis; ut si quid in eis esset corrigendum ad perfectam eorum libertatem, ipsius arbitrio suppleretur. Prior vero & Monachi fraudem Episcopi habentes suspectam, instrumenta sua ei nullatenus ostendere voluerunt.

Sicque deinceps ita Monachis praefatis idem Episcopus injuriosus extitit & infestus; ut necessitate cogente, ad praesentiam Domini Pa∣pae appellantes, sese & sua omnia sub ejus protectione ponerent. Ac deinde Ro∣mam clericos mittentes & Monachos, Episcopum accusaverunt in multis. Contra quam accusationem, hoc sequens rescriptum impetraverunt a Papa.
