 absolution and dispensation. By special viva voce command of the Pope the 

 writer commits the matter to the archbishop as next (vicinior) ordinary of the 

 place — the ordinary being held as suspect by John and Anne — authorizing 

 liim, when the pair had been separated for such time as might seem to hiin 

 expedient, to absolve them from the general sentence of excommunication 

 which they had incurred, enjoining penance, and binding them to fast and say 

 100 Aves and Paters each every Friday during their marriage, to permit them 

 to marry and live together, and to legitimate their children, on condition that 

 the sui'\'ivor remained for CA^er unmarried. The archbishop accordingly held 

 an inquiry, at which Peche appeared pei-sonally and Anne by her proctor. 

 Sir John Dermot, the archbishop's chaplain, and gave sentence as above. The 

 process was committed to writing by Simon Eochfort, clerk of the diocese of 

 Meath, notary. The acts took place on 27 October, 1411, in St. James's 

 Chiu-ch, Athboy, diocese of Meath.
