Willelmus, permissione divina Wintoniensis episcopus, dilecto filio officiali archidiaconi nostri Wintoniensis, salutem, gratiam et benedictionem. Breve domini nostri regis recepimus hunc tenorem habens: ‘Edwardus etc. Quia de avisamento concilii nostri’ etc., ut inter alia brevia regia plenius continetur. Vobis etiam vigore dicti brevis firmiter iniungimus et mandamus quatenus praemuniatis seu faciatis praemuniri archidiaconum nostrum Wintoniensem ac clerum archidiaconatus eiusdem, quod idem archidiaconus in propria persona, dictusque clerus per unum procuratorem idoneum plenam et sufficientem potestatem ab ipso clero habentem praedictis die et loco intersint, facturi et recepturi quod tenor et effectus dicti brevis exigunt et requirunt, et nos de facto vestro in praemissis una cum nomine [78v] procuratoris a dicto clero electi citra dictam quindenam certificetis, literas vestras patentibus habentibus hunc tenorem. Datum apud Wolnesey decimo octavo die mensis Septembris anno Domini millesimo tricentesimo LXXIIo et nostrae consecrationis anno quinto [18 September 1372].
