Summary

This indenture made by Brother Thomas of Cambridge of the Order of Minors and Sir Thomas de Abington, perpetual vicar of the church of St Botolph of Cambridge, so that having been accepted by pure … in all things, this indenture might make open and testify in the future that when the aforesaid Brother Thomas was a secular he gave to his nephew John Breton many lands and tenements from the prior inheritance of the same Thomas, on condition that the same John should find a chapel in the said church of St Botolph, continually celebrating [mass] for the souls of the ancestors of the said Brother Thomas and for the souls of others who were held [dear] by the said Brother Thomas. And that the same John should pay annually those sums of money to the assigns of the said Brother Thomas, to be held of the same Brother Thomas on the anniversary of our most illustrious King Edward, the son of King Henry his father, and for performing other charitable works annually for all the other men and deceased persons held dear by the said Brother Thomas, and for performing the releases and finding the said chapel in the manner aforesaid. The said John by these present concerns obliges himself to be trustworthy by a bond, as if swearing upon most holy documents, indentured concerning the said … and to be held by the aforesaid Brother Thomas for the said John, as fully contained in the foregoing. And the same John, by the entry of the said Thomas in orders, not abhorring the vice of ingratitude and disloyalty, seems not to want to find the aforesaid chapel and the aforesaid sums, as is firmly held to be his business, and to see the same Brother Thomas. Continuing in this error for many years as if struck, he is adding to his perpetual disloyalty and ingratitude, as appears in his person and in all his business and dealings, where he is unlucky and as if forsaken by the Lord. At length, the aforesaid Brother Thomas, despairing of the correction of the said John, and otherwise moved by piety, at the instance of the lady Joan de Crek, sister of the said Brother Thomas … of the said John.
