Then follows a narrative of proceedings in monk Latin, which I have
been at some pains to translate thus:--

"Certain relevant documents having been publicly examined and shown in
open Court, the said vicar immediately demanded from the judge that he
should proceed with the augmentation of his annual pension of the said
perpetual vicarage according to the tenor of the said two documents,
especially because no reasonable bar had been alleged in Court why the
augmentation in this kind should not be granted. And Master
Abercrummy, the foresaid judge, having carefully examined the two
documents and the foundation of the foresaid Chapel Royal, Stirling,
particularly in that point where it treats of the erection of perpetual
vicarages and of their annual pensions, as in the case of the Parish
Churches of Suchwych (Southwick), Kellis (Kells), and Balmaclellan,
belonging to the said Chapel Royal, augmented the annual pension of the
perpetual vicarage of Crieff in the manner which follows, and
ordained--viz., that the perpetual vicar of the Church of Crieff, in
Strathearn, who has had, _pro tempore_, shall have in perpetuity of the
fruits of that Church of Crieff for his own sustenance and for those
dependent on him, wherewith he may be able to live in comfort,
twenty-four merks of the usual money of Scotland and two acres of
arable land adjacent to the said church of the town, which is called
'For,' pertaining to the same church and (origin?) the house built upon
it, along with pasture for his own animals according to the congruency
(convenience?) of the same said acres, and with 'hearth-rights in the
muirs and marshes of the said town' (focalibus competentinus in moris
et marresiis ejusdem villae.) [The Latin is barbarous, and may mean
anything; but it does seem to have some connection with the right of
digging peats.] An
