To Nigel Colini, rector of the parish church of StColumba in Keno-
waden, Argyll diocese, b.dec. Indult for Nigel, of noble birth on
both sides, constituted sub-deacon, to hold along with the said
parish church, value not exceeding £16 sterling and wont to be
governed by a perpetual vicar, one other benefice with or without
cure provided it is not a major or principal dignity in a cathedral or

on his peaceful assecution to the archdeaconry he is held to demit
the canonry and prebend.
