In the end the bishops of Lincolne and Rochester, with the abbat of Peter|burrow, were appointed by the pope to haue the hea|ring of this matter, as iudges authorised by his buls, who sat therevpon at Norshampton, vpon S. Calixt his day, where after they had heard both parties ar|gue what they could in either of their cases, they gaue a longer day, to wit, vntill the feast of the nati|uitie of saint Iohn Baptist next after, to see if by a|nie good means there might some agréement haue beene had betwixt them, or (if that could not be) that then the popes leters should stand in force as before, & the helpes of either part saued, as though no delaie had béene vsed. And to this, both parties were agree|able, speciallie at the motion of the bishop of Lin|colne.
