And, lastly, we have Mr. Frome’s translation :— 
“To all the Sons of Holy Mother Church to whom these Presents shall come 
Epmunp by divine providence Bishop of Sarum health, grace and benediction 
“Wuereas the Rectory & Parish Church of Draycott Foliat in the County 
of Wilts in our Diocese of Sarum hath been and now is so small and impoverished 
in its tithes rights profits & appurtenances, so that it is in no wise adequate for 
the suitable and sufficient maintenance & support of the Rector who shall minister 
to God and the people there; and in such condition of poverty and scantiness 
hath remained for some time past and by those means it hath come to pass that 
not only the Chancel of the same Church there and the Parsonage House are in 
a manner thrown down and in ruins, but also the said Church has long since 
been bereft and deprived of the performance of divine-worship 
“AnD WHEREAS the perpetual vicarage of the Parish Church of Chisseldeane 
in the said Diocese of Sarum is also slender and insufficient in its rights tithes 
_and profits and also inadequate for the maintenance of a Perpetual Vicar, so that 
he who performs divine worship may also be hospitable 
_ “ And WHEREAS the said respective Parishes of Draycott Foliat and Chissel- 
deane have been and are contiguous and adjoining Parishes, so much so that 
their boundaries and limits in most parts adjoin each other 
“The premises therefore being maturely considered and’that a reformation is 
to be desired by means of the union annexation incorporation consolidation and 
addition of the said Church of Draycott Foliat and of all its rights members and 
appurtenances according to the agreement within mentioned we have held con- 
erence with and obtained the Assurance of the Honorable Edmund Bruges 
Knight of the most noble order of the Garter, Lord Chandos, Baron of Studeley 
sic) the true and undoubted Patron of the Perpetual Vicarage of Chisseldeane 
aforesaid, and with Thomas Chaderton, Esquire, the true and undoubted Patron
