6. TO the 6th he saith, That the vicarage of Penbrin being void he, as right patron thereof to his knowledge, conferred it to John Evans, clerk, with letters of institution and induction; and after, when the king's presentation came to him for one David Jenkin, clerk, he desired fourteen days respite at that time, either to show ancient record for his right, and then the matter to stand to the determination of the law, or else if he showed not, both he and his clerk to give place to the king's clerk, which condition was by sir Thomas Jones, knight, Dr. Meyrick, and the said David Jenkin, received; and an institution with an induction was made conditionally to be put in the hands of sir Thomas Jones, knight, for safe custody of the king's clerks' behalf, after the fourteen days to be executed at the hands of the said defendant, if he failed to show. Within which time the said defendant did show an old ancient record, declaring the full right of patronage on the said defendant's behalf, and so that institution and induction was never by the said defendant put in execution. Nevertheless, the said David Jenkin (contrary to his promise and oath, giving thereupon his right hand to the said sir Thomas Jones, knight) took advantage by the said writing, without knowledge of the said defendant. After which time the lord chancellor, by his letters written to the said defendant, advertised him, to admit one John ap Powell, clerk, presented by virtue of the vowson which the lord chancellor judged to be good▪ and so to be admitted notwithstanding his former presentation, whereby he would not bar the other man's right. And so this defendant made one collation, two institutions, and three mandates, doing no wrong thereby to his knowledge. And further (he saith) that there was no business nor unquietness about the possession of the said vicarage, but this defendant giving place, was content to lose his right for that time.
