AD CASTURIUM - DIACONUM.
Pisaurensis episcopi aliorumve sacerdotum vitam per-
scruletur; 8i quid g8inislrum invenerit, renuntitet.
Tutorem tueatur, ut quE@ 5ibi pro pauperibus injuncta
8unt valeat exsequi.
Gregorius ® Castorio diacono.
Quzdam ad nos de Þ Pisaurensi episcopo pervene-
runt, que indiscussa nullo modo sunt JS re'in-
quenda. Propterea experientie tuz precipimus ut de
vita et actibus ipsius subtili indagatione studeat per-
scrutari. Et $i quid ſortasse repererit quod sacerdotii,
quod absit, integritatem valeat maculare, ad nos eum
cum secriptis tuis de his que in veritate cognoveris
omnimodo sub competenti cautela transmitte, ut in-
ſormati, Deo revelante, 8ublilius de veritate, quid
fieri debeat pertractemus. Non solum autem de eo,
sed et de aliorum quoque $sacerdotum te vita convenit
es-e sollicitum. Et si de quolibet sinistrum quidpiam
- Sentire potneris, nobis renuntiare ſestina, ut actuum
prav.itas Salubriter cum Dei solatio debeat emen-
dari. ;
Pervenit quoque ad nos Adeodatum quemdam ci-
vem Pisaurensern, filio atque vernaculo 8uo haredi-
bus institutis, Thomam deputasse tutorem, hanc con- .
ditionem adjiciens, ut $i forte, heredes ip+-ius in
pupillari ztale de hac vita transirent, omnis ejus
substantia per manus ante dicti tutoris debuisset
pauperibus erogari. © Sed obitis qui hzredes ſuerunt
inslituti, ne deſuncti possit voluntas impleri, supra-

pereris, curz alque $0llicitudinis tuz sit ante dictum
