ANTIQUITIES OF SELBORNE. 
From circumstances in this curious document, it is plain that 
the sequestration produced good effects ; for in it are to be found 
bills of repairs to a considerable amount. 
By this evidence also it appears that there were at that junc- 
ture only four canons at the Priory ;* and that these, and their 
four household servants, during this sequestration for ' their 
clothing, wages, and diet, were allowed per ann. xxx lib. ; and 
that the annual pension of the lord prior, reside where he would, 
was to be x lib. 
In the year 1468, prior Berne, probably wearied out by the 
dissensions and want of order that prevailed in the convent, re- 
signed his priorship into the hands of the bishop.
