Augustine (Augustini) pursuing divine services,
prayers and vigils and the giving of alms. Wishing
to increase the support of the religious and, on
account of the poorness of their house and their
pious devotion to religion, the bp. grants for
himself and his successors forever that
(1] the religious should cause the parish church
of Seighford (Cestreford) to be served in divine
services by any canon of the house of Ranton, just
as by a vicar, providing that divine services in
the church of Seighford are not diminished and
that the said canon will support all and each
burdens of the vicarage which the vicars of the
church have been accustomed to have.
(2] The said canon should be presented to the bp.
and to his successors for the vicarage of the
church and he should be canonically instituted in
the same by the bp. and his successors.
[3] He should respond (respondeat) to the bp. as
is fitting, saving the discipline of their
religion and saving also the rights and customs of
the bp. 's church of Lichfield in all things.
