to live within the Priory without his wife, the use of a moiety of
a house formerly belonging to Master Thomas Remain, together
with a supply of daily food from the Convent kitchen. If the
said Michael left the Convent for more than a month, he was to
receive a weekly allowance of 5</. in lieu of his food, or 2Os.

a yearly allowance of ios. from the Convent's cellarer, whether
her husband were alive or dead ; saving to the said Michael and
Gonilda their right to bread and ale under a deed sealed with
