Comment | "By lapse of time or by the fact that John Underhill, now Bishop of Oxford, was Rector of Witney when consecrated Bishop, or by right of crown prerogative, the gift lay for this one time in the Queen's hands, nevertheless Thomas Bingham of Caversham alias Causam, Oxon, as undoubted patron of the rectory on one occasion, has presented John Drurie who has accepted and has been instituted, inducted and invested. For the security of John Drurie. Grant, for a term of years, to Walter Baylie, MD, physician in ordinary, the true "modern" patron of the said rectory, of the right of presentation by reason of lapse of time etc., for one occasion only." |
