The s a i d c a r d i n a l , wishing t h a t m a g i s t e r John de Hos should b e n e f i t from t h i s i n d u l g e n c e , committed to m a g i a t e r Buxolus de Parma, csnon o f T o u r n a i , the t a s k o f e n s u r i n g t h a t t h e f r u i t s , r e n t s , and p r o f i t s o f the prebend o f the s a i d magister John I n the church o f H e r e f o r d should be p a i d to him, w i t h the e x c e p t i o n o f the d a i l y d i s t r i b u t i o n s , as l o n g as he remained i n the s e r v i c e o f the s a i d c a r d i n a l .
