church; 1 and the hymn being sung, dictisque versiculo et 

 oratione consuetis in hac parte, Thomas Halyborne, mox tune 

 ibidem, before the clergy and people of both sexes solemnly 

 published the election in vtilgari. Then Richard Elstede, and 

 the whole convent by their proctors and nuncios appointed 

 for the purpose, Thomas Halyborne and John Stepe, required 

 several times the assent of the elected; "et tandem post 

 diutinas interpellationes, et deliberationes, et deliberationem 

 providam penes se habitam, in hac parte divine nolens, ut 

 asseruit, resistere voluntati," within the limited time he signi- 

 fied his acceptance in the usual written form of words. The 

 bishop is then supplicated to confirm their election, and do 

 the needful, under common seal, in the chapter-house. No- 

 vember 1 4th, 1410. 



The bishop, January 6th, 1410, apud Esher in camera infe- 

 riori, declared the election duly made, and ordered the new 

 prior to be inducted ; for this the archdeacon of Winchester 

 was written to ; " stallumque in choro, et locum in capitulo 

 juxta morem preteriti temporis," to be assigned to him, and 

 everything beside necessary to be done.

NOTE 



1 It seems here as if the canons used to chair their new-elected prior from 

 the chapter-house to the high altar of their convent church. In Letter 

 XXL, on the same occasion it is said "et sic canentes dictum electum 

 ad majus altare ecclesie deduximus, ut apud nos moris est." G. W.
