Ad Eburacam vero civitatem te volumus episcopum mittere, quem ipse iudicaveris ordinare; ita duntaxat, ut si eadem civitas cum finitimis locis verbum Dei receperit, ipse quoque duodecim episcopos ordinet, et metropolitani honore perfruatur; quia ei quoque, si vita comes fuerit, pallium tribuere Domino favente disponimus, quem tamen tuae fraternitatis volumus dispositioni subiacere: post obitum vero tuum ita episcopis quos ordinaverit praesit, ut Lundoniensis episcopi nullo modo ditioni subiaceat.
Moreover, we will that you send a bishop unto the city of York, whom you yourself shall think worthy to be appointed; on such condition only that, if the said town with the country about receive the word of God, he himself be authorized to make 12 bishops more and enjoy the honour to be their metropolitan; for we purpose to give him also a pall by the favour of the Lord, if life attend us, whom nevertheless we will to be subject to the disposition of your brotherhood: but after your death so have the oversight of the bishops whom he hath ordained, that he be in no case subject unto the authority of the bishop of London.
