curators, the resignations outside the curia by apostolic authority
of their respective monasteries and to provide John to Paisley and
Roland to Crossraguel. Recently Roland had been provided to

John and Roland are to be received by the mandatory, and then sent

of Mukard, St Andrews diocese, and Hugh Huntar, in possession of
Kynneclis, had resigned their benefices for purposes of exchange into
the hands of Henry, bishop of St Andrews, outside the curia, who ad¬
mitted the resignations by ordinary authority and by the same auth¬
ority effected the exchange; but Robert had doubted the validity of his
provision and sought confirmation which is granted by this mandate.
