The impropriate proxies giuen vp to King Henry the viij' by Edward B of Meath and lately regraunted to the Brick by our now gracious Soveraigne amount to the yearely some of lxj" vij3 viijd Ir. wch is xlvi x' vja ster. but some parcells of the lord Viscount of Drogheda and others deny to pay [sic] thing to the EP. Others put of their payment from the farmors of the Abbayes to the farmo" of the Rectories appropriated therevnto. And euery seuerall Rectorie is comonly deuided amongst so many seuerall farmors that vnlesse a more certayne course be taken herein his Maties gratious intention of augmenting the meanes of this Bprick wilbe vtterly frustrate.
