vent of Lundors, of the one part, and Sir Henry of Dundemor, of the other, concerning the service of the chapel of Dundemor. At length the parties appeared before the bishop in his synod at Perth on the fourth of the Nones of June [June 2] in the year of grace MCCXLVIII., and by consent submitted themselves to his determination of the dispute, which determination took the form of the following ordinance: The abbot and convent will every year give five and twenty shillings to Sir Henry and his heirs for the maintenance of a chaplain ministering in the chapel of Dundemor. This money was to be paid through the hand of the chaplain, for the time being, of the motherchurch of Ebedyn, at the two terms of the year: twelve shillings and six pence at the feast of St. Martin in winter, and twelve shillings and six pence at Whitsunday, saving the rights of the mother-church of Ebedyn in all things. Thus, all the parishioners of Dundemor, except the family of the house of Sir Henry and his heirs, were to go to the mother-church of Ebedyn three times a year, namely, on Christmas Day, Easter Day, and the feast of St. Andrew the Apostle, and in the mother-church they were to receive all their sacraments. The said Henry and his heirs were to cause the chapel to be decently (honeste) served, and were to find all things necessary for the chaplain who would celebrate service there. For the future Henry and his heirs were not to demand anything from the abbot and convent except the five and twenty shillings aforesaid. The chaplains ministering in the chapel were to take an oath that they would be faithful to the mother-church of Ebedyn, and would faithfully pay to the mother-church all the oblations made in the chapel. The abbot and convent were in the first instance to provide for the chapel sufficient furnishing (ornatus), at the sight of good men,' both in books, vestments, and chalice, and Henry and his heirs were ever after at their own expense to maintain the furnishing. That they would faithfully observe this ordinance, the abbot, for himself and his convent, and Henry, for himself and his heirs, pledged themselves' in the hand of Master Andrew of Aberdeen, then Official of St. Andrews.' The ordinance of the Bishop of St. Andrews was written in the form of an indenture (in modum cirographi), one part of which was to be kept by Henry and his heirs, and the other part by the abbot and convent. It was sealed with the seals of the bishop, of A., Archdeacon of St. Andrews, and of Master A. of Aberdeen, the Official of St. Andrews, and with the seals of the parties.
