57. Letter to Philip O'Eayly, King of Brefnia. f. S\ 

 17 July, 1366 (?). The will of the king having been explained in his last 

 letter, with regard to the Bishop of Kilmore (Triburnen.), the archbishop 

 replies as follows : That if the king finds a clerk (not a layman) in whose 

 hands the fruits of the bishopric may be sequestrated, and will help such 

 clerk in levying the fruits, he will so sequestrate the fruits and will 

 cause the king to receive fitting satisfaction for his labour in that regard. 

 And the archbishop desires the king to bind himself, by letters containing his 

 oath, that, in case the archbishop should of necessity take action for the deposi- 

 tion of the bishop at the Roman curia, he will be obedient to the archbishop 

 and the church of Armagh while such action is pending in matters concerning 

 the action and in the levying of the fruits. If the king so binds himself, 

 the archbishop will pledge himself not to make any agreement with the bishop 

 without his consent.
