Paris. The presum|ption of the cardinall. the legat presuming on that autho|ritie granted him by the pope, without the aduise of the archbishop or other bishops, tooke onelie with him certeine of the kings chapleins, and comming with them to such churches as were vacant, ordeined in them such persons as were nothing méet to take such charge vpon them, and that according to the old abuse of England, as Matthew Paris saith.

Discord be|twixt the car|dinall and the archbishop of Canturburie. two of his chapleins from Dunstable (where he and his suffragans held as then a synod, after the feast of the Epiphanie) commanding him by waie of appeale, in no wise to meddle with institu|ting any gouernours to churches, within the precinct of his iurisdiction, where such institutions belonged onelie to him.
