Extract

I have for some time past formed to myself an opinion that among the several prelates in the see of Salisbury, no one from the foundation of the church was more active and vigilant than your noble predecessor Richard Beauchamp who was translated thither in August 1450. An early undertaking of his was the canonization of St. Osmund.
