Description
The text roughly translates as follows: on 26 Nov 1673 Dr Hascard prebendary of Stratton was ordered by a citation fixed to his stall in the choir to appear before the locum tenens of the Dean and Chapter to answer about the [?]demission ('Demissione'] of a seal, and about a given portion for the repair of the choir. On 11 Apr 1674 the said Dr Hascard appeared and made the following apology. He said that there was no copy or note of that statute made before the demission was signed. He approved of the justice of the statute and would observe it to the best of his ability. Although he signed it, he would rescind that indenture and make a new document. The final sentence is in English: 'He had formerly promised both to Dr Lambert [and] Dr Hill, which promise he renewed also before us, That he would give Bond of 200 or 300 L to rescind [the] Lease, if it should be required of him'. A note on the back of PR/SR/7 refers to 'Dimissionu[m] Charta...'. A transcription of this document is available at T:\Library & Archive\Transcriptions.
