And, lastly, we have Mr. Frome's translation : — 



" To all the Sons of Holy Mother Church to whom these Presents shall come 

 Edmund by divine providence Bishop of Sarum health, grace and benediction 



" Whereas the Rectory & Parish Church of Draycott Foliat in the County 

 of Wilts in our Diocese of Sarum hath been and now is so small and impoverished 

 in its tithes rights profits & appurtenances, so that it is in no wise adequate for 

 the suitable and sufficient maintenance & support of the Rector who shall minister 

 to God and the people there ; and in such condition of poverty and scantiness 

 hath remained for some time past and by those means it hath come to pass that 

 not only the Chancel of the same Church there and the Parsonage House are in 

 a manner thrown down and in ruins, but also the said Church has long since 

 been bereft and deprived of the performance of divine worship 



"And Wheeeas the perpetual vicarage of the Parish Church of Chisseldeane 

 in the said Diocese of Sarum is also slender and insufficient in its rights tithes 

 and profits and also inadequate for the maintenance of a Perpetual Vicar, so that 

 he who performs divine worship may also be hospitable 



" And Wheeeas the said respective Parishes of Draycott Foliat and Chissel- 

 deane have been and are contiguous and adjoining Parishes, so much so that 

 their boundaries and limits in most parts adjoin each other 



" The premises therefore being maturely considered and that a reformation is 

 to be desired by means of the union annexation incorporation consolidation and 

 addition of the said Church of Draycott Foliat and of all its rights members and 

 appurtenances according to the agreement within mentioned we have held con- 

 ference with and obtained the Assurauce of the Honorable Edmund Bruges 

 Knight of the most noble order of the Garter, Lord Chandos, Baron of Studeley 

 (sic) the true and undoubted Patron of the Perpetual Vicarage of Chisseldeane 

 aforesaid, and with Thomas Chaderton, Esquire, the true and undoubted Patron
