John Kennedy, lord of Dunure, in virtue of apostolic letters of Pope Clement VII, addressed to Walter bishop of Glasgow, for ratification of the foundation of the chapel of St Mary of Maybole, orders that one of the priests be provost and shall have lands as specified. Various other rules of governance of the chapel then follow.
