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

 diutinas interpellations, et deliberationem providam penes se 

 habitam, in hac parte divine nolens, ut asseruit, resistere volun-

LETTER XVII. 



INFORMATION being sent to Rome respecting the havock and 

 spoil that was carrying on among the revenues and lands of the 

 Priory of Selborne, as we may suppose by the bishop of Win- 

 chester, its visitor, Pope Martin,* as soon as the news of these 

 proceedings came before him, issued forth a bull, in which he 

 enjoins his commissary immediately to revoke all the property 

 that had been alienated. 



* Pope Martin V. chosen about 1417. He attempted to reform the church, but died in 1431, 

 just as he had summoned the council of Basil.
