Their clerk, for as long as he lives, shall serve the same chapel three days a week and on feast days stated in the episcopal statues and daily if he wishes. After his death, the monks shall do with the chapel and benefices whatever they wish and serve it three days a week and on feast days from the chaplain of Hume or Halliburton (BWK) or another. After the clerks die, their bodies shall be brought from the place of Wedderlie to be buried at the mother church of Hume.
