178 CHURCH OF ST. JTJST-IN-PElSrWITH. 



oath of obedience to the Provost and his snccessors, on their 

 admission. The thirteen vicars, one of whom was to he nominated 

 by the Provost, weekly, to say Mass for the welfare of Sir John, his 

 wife, &c., were to receive of the fruits of St. Just the sum of 

 £4 6s. 8d. sterling, yearly amongst them. Also, the said vicars 

 were every day in the year, by one of themselves, to celebrate one 

 Mass of the day, or of Pequiem, for the welfare of the Bishop, of 

 Sir Richard de Gromersale, then Provost, and others whose names 

 are set out in the deed, during hfe, and for their souls, and for 

 the soul of Master John de Stoke a former canon of Grlasney, 

 their relatives, friends, and benefactors and all the faithful 

 departed ; and they were to receive of the said fruits, in addition 

 to the portion just named, £4 6s. 8d. every year equally amongst 

 them. Also, from the time of obtaining possession of St. Just, 

 there were to be two clerks " of the second form," who were to 

 be called "Beaupre's Clerks," and to serve God and the Church 

 according to their degree in the day and night offices. These 

 clerks were to receive eight pence weekly. Also, two choristers, 

 to be called " Beaupre's choristers," who were to receive 4d. 

 each every week, and one of whom was to serve the Priests in the 

 celebration of the before mentioned Masses. Then follow further 

 interesting provisions for Obits, and sung Masses, and for the 

 future appointments of priests and choristers. Sir John de 

 Beaupre was to find in the first instance for his two Priests the 

 books, chalice, vestments, towels, and other requisites for Masses 

 and Matins, and to erect suitable houses for them at Grlasney, but 

 afterwards these burdens were to be met by the College out of 

 the fruits of St. Just for ever. The Sacristan of Grlasney for the 

 time being was to find bread, wine and lights, for the Masses, and 

 to receive 4/3 yearly out of the said fruits to meet the costs thereof. 

 If there should be any residue, it was to be divided in the custom- 

 ary manner amongst the resident Canons. This most interesting 

 document, which I should have liked to give in full, but feared to 

 weary you, received the approval of the Dean and Chapter of 

 Exeter on the same day, and was sealed by Sir John de Beaupre 

 at his Manor of Lanestly on the first of May in the same year. 

 It is perhaps worth mentioning that the names of some of the 

 Beaupre chaplains are still preserved. 



I regret that I am unable to give you the Taxation of this 

 vicarage, the deed, that is, fixing the relative rights of the rectors
