PEVINGTON AND ITS RECTORS. 111 Thirdly Mr Copley shall from the third of Jul_y next receive the tithes in kind for one yeare that it may be indifferently judged what the value 0£ them is. Fourthly M• Copley shall lett to Sr Anthony Deeringe for three yeares after the tithes att some reasonable rate as they two shall agree upon. Wherein I doe wish & order that Sr .Anthony Deering have a favourable bargaine, and if they cannott agree upon the rate, then the .Archbishop of Canterbury to determine the difference of rent or price betweene them. Ffifthly that all former Controversies should be remitted and forgotten, and they to live peaceably, quietly, and christianly together. Maii 16, 1618. G. CA.NT. (Abbot, 60.)
