the aforesaid Churches of Fartey Hunesrrorp and Rowey alias 
WirrennaM, that all and singular the declarations made in the said 
Letters are true, and it hath been further made known to us on the 
part of the said Lord, that the Parish Church of Fartey HuncEr- 
FORD being in his patronage, is moderately endowed, and that the 
profits and emoluments thereof have also so greatly decreased that 
he who is or shall be Rector of the Church of Fartey HuneErFrorp 
shall hardly be able out of.the revenues thereof duly to meet and 
sustain the burdens incumbent on him as Rector; Anp whereas the 
said Noble Lord hath in consequence thereof earnestly besought us 
that we would deign to take into our consideration all the particulars 
set forth in the Letters aforesaid, And, that for the relief as well of 
the Rector of the Church of Fartey Huneerrorp and all his 
successors, as of the Church itself, and in order to lighten the bur- 
dens aforesaid, Wz would consent to unite the said Church of RowLEy 
alias WittEennam its rights and appurtenances, with the said Church 
of Fartey Huncerrorp to the proper use of every Rector of the 
Church of Fartey Huncerrrorp, and furthermore that we would do 
and ordain in due form what shall be required on this behalf, by our 
own authority and that of our Reverend Brother Rosprrt Lorp Bisnop 
or Sarum as conveyed to us by our Reverend Brother in the Letters 
aforesaid. AND whereas in the meantime by the joint authority of 
our Reverend Brother and ourselves lawful enquiry hath been made 
into the circumstances, and by inspection of muniments, deeds, and 
other evidences produced in this behalf by the Noble Lord, it doth 
appear that as concerning our present purpose they are thoroughly 
sustained by truth, Wz therefore Joun BisHor or Bata anp WELLS 
lawfully proceeding upon the petition of the said Noble Lord in the 
matter of this union, In THz Name oF Curist to which we now 
appeal, by the authority and with the license and consent of our 
Reverend Brother Roprert Bisnopr or Sarum and with the goodwill 
and consent of all herein concerned (grave and careful discussion 
having been first holden with the same) have declared and by these 
presents do declare that for the union of the said church of Rowey 
alias WittENHAM to the Church of Fartry Huncerrorp we do find 
in the premises full, true, sufficient profitable meet and lawful cause.
