Et tam iuxta vestram petitionem, quam filiorum nostrorum regum vobis per praesentem nostram praeceptionem vice beati Petri apostolorum principis auctoritatem tribuimus, ut quando unum ex vobis divina ad se iusserit gratia vocari, is qui superstes fuerit alterum in loco defuncti debeat episcopum ordinare.
And as in accordance with your request, so in accordance with that of the kings our sons, by our express commandment in the stead of the blessed Peter, chief of the apostles, we grant you authority, that when the Divine Grace hath bidden one of you to be called to Itself, he who shall be left alive must ordain a bishop to be successor in place of the departed one.
