REX Omnibus, &c. Cum plures in Anglia Capellas habeamus ex∣emptas,* 1.1 quarum libertates locorum Ordinarii infestant ple∣rumque, et in dilatione privilegiorum nostrorum ad loca diversa transmissa nobis posset de facili periculum imminere. Nos dilecto Clerico nostro Egidio de Erdington, Decano de Wolverhampton, transcriptum cujus∣dam privilegii nostri de libertatibus Capellarum nostrarum faciens mentionem, & sigillo nostro signatum duximus committendum, ut illius transcripti inspectionem habentes fidem adhibeant concessioni libertatum factae Capellis praedictis, rescriptum igitur Apostolicum de verbo ad verbum sic duximus subscribendum.

INNOCENTIUS Episcopus servus servoruus Dei, Charissimo in Christo filio* 1.2 Regi Anglorum illustri, salutem & Apostolicam benedictionem. Tanto libentius Celsi∣tudinis tuae precibus benignum impertimr assensum quanto inter Reges & Principes Chri∣stianos, te specialius reputamus dilectum filium & devotum.

etiam Delegatus, vel Subdelegatus in Capellas Regias et Ora∣toria earundem, Ecclesiae Romanae immediate subjecta, seu Canoni∣cos, vel Servitores ipsorum, contra tenorem privilegiorum aut in∣dulgentiarum Apostolicae sedis Excommunicationis vel Interdicti sententiam audeat promulgare, seu aliquod ipsis onus imponere, quod aliis exemptis Ecclesiis non consuevit imponi absque mandato sedis Apostolicae speciali, quod expressam faciat de inhibitione hujus∣modi mentionem. Nulli ergo omnino hominum liceat hanc pagi∣nam nostrae concessionis infringere, vel ei ausu temerario contraire. Si quis autem hoc attemptare praesumpserit, indignationem om∣nipotentis Dei et beatorum Petri et Pauli Apostolorum ejus se no∣vecit incursurum. Dat. Lugduni 12. Kalend. Augusti, Pontificatus nostri Anno tertio.

Nos itaque universos tàm Clericos quàm Laicos Regni nostri monemus, roga∣mus modis omnibus quibus possumus, et eis sub poena forisfacturae nostrae firmiter prohibemus, ut nullus eorum in praejudicium praefati Clerici nostri, seu Capellae nostrae de Wolverhampton, aut etiam Cano∣nicorum sive Servitorum ipsorum aliquid attemptet, contra privi∣legii supradicti tenorem, et consuetudines Capellarum nostrarum exemptarum antiquas, usitatas et etiam approbatas. Teste Rege apud Westm. 8. die Nevembris.

The King for dispatch of his own and his Kingdoms affaires in the Court of Rome this year, issued these Letters of Procuration to his Proctors there, and others to the Pope, especially to prosecute his Appeal there against the Archbishop and his Suffragans, to null the Ordinances, Constitutions and Statutes made by them in the * 1.3 forecited Council at London, to the prejudice of his Royal Right, Dignity, the Li∣berties, Laws and Customes of his Realm.
