aforesaid, and to the great damage and manifest destruction of John 
Gelys, now vicar thereof. We of our special grace, at the suppli- 
cation of the aforesaid now vicar, have granted, and given license 
as well to the same now vicar, that he may prosecute, as to the 
delegates and sub-delegates, and their officers and ministers in the 
cause aforesaid, that they may make execution of the sentence 
above-mentioned as of right, and according to ecclesiastical law, 
ought to be done, any protections or exemptions to the said brethren 
by us at any time heretofore made notwithstanding; being un- 
willing that the aforesaid now vicar, or his successors, or the afore- 
said delegates, sub-delegates, officers, or ministers aforesaid, by us, 
or our heirs, or our ministers, whatsoever thereupon, should be 
impeded, molested, or in any wise injured." 
We do not know how the matter ended ; but we do know that 
the Gray Friars were not disturbed, and that parish priest and 
preaching friar each pursued their course in Plymouth. In all 
probability the latter took no notice of the proceedings in any 
way. 
About the year 1440 William Ketterigge or Ketrick (the first 
mayor named in the Act of Incorporation) and the commonalty of 
Plymouth entered into an agreement with John, by Divine per- 
mission Prior of St. Germans, to find every year for ever in the 
parish church of St. Andrew, at the altar of the Blessed Virgin 
!Mary there, one fit chaplain to attend, for the celebration of 
divine service, on the days when it should be so ordered, and to pray 
for the souls of Richard Trenode of Bristol, and Alice his late 
wife, and of Joan his then present wife, and William Yenour, and 
Thomazine his wife (sister of Richard Trenode), and others of 
their relations and friends, for the benefits the town had received 
from its being incorporated through the assistance given by them. 
The memory of Richard Trenode has faded, but from the Yenour 
family the Ward of Yintry was named. But who now connects 
this ward with the persons through whose exertions the town 
received so much benefit, and for which the then authorities were 
so grateful ? 
We also find somewhere about this time, I suppose, a gift of — 
Dabnone and John Paynter, "to fynd a pryst to praye for the 
sowles of the founders, and mynystre dyvine service in the 
quyer in ye parish churche of Plymouthe ; paying unto Margaret 
Sommester, sometyme wyfe unto John Paynter, one of ye sayd
