789 (Unlated. ] Appointment of M. R. de P. and M.
S. de S. as proctors to contract a loan for bp.
Langton at the Roman curia for his business there
to be progressed, for an amount to be determined
by the proctors according to the nature of the
business and the necessity of his resources, with
power to bind the bp. and his successors, his
church, his goods, and the moveable and immovable
goods of his church both present and future,
ecclesiastical and secular, to him or those from
who or whom the proctors will have received the
loan. The proctors are to swear for the money to
be paid under whatever conditions and penalties
are required by the contract according to the
right or custom of the curia, and to submit the
bp. to the jurisdiction of whichever papal
chaplain whom the creditors will have chosen and
who will be able to charge the bp. and his
proctors for the money, or part of it, and to
impose a sentence of excommunication if the money
shall not have been paid. The bp. renounces the
constitution ordained from two of the assemblies
of the general council and the other
constitutions, declarations and restrictions which
he will be able to consider against the creditors
and which might prejudice the loan, and promises
to approve whatever shall be done, procured or
promised by the proctors in the premisses.
