XIV. De minoribus capitulis consenserunt omnes, ad unamquamque ecclesiam

curtem et duas mansas terræ pagenses ad ecclesiam recurrentes condonent:

servum et ancillam eidem ecclesiæ tribuant.

“All agreed concerning the smaller congregations, that the colonists

frequenting each church should bestow upon it one dwelling, with proper

out-offices, and two manses (24 acres) of land; and that they should

give to the same church one male slave and one female slave between one

hundred and twenty noble and free men, and counting also the conditioned

servants.”

In this newly settled ecclesiastical province the provision made for the
