To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

69 return : the property was assigned for their maintenance during their lifetime, subject to a power of recall by the bishop in case of their misbehaviour. The clerks were still in theory paid out of the funds of the bishop's church ; but instead of receiving money or food, they received a farm. This was the case also with the canons of a cathedral when the canonical system began ; and hence the later use of " praebenda," which originally meant " rations," and ultimately was applied to the est...ate which produced the rations.
When church lands were lent to a layman they were sometimes, even if infrequently, lent without the payment of a rent, but more com- monly, and, after the middle of the eighth century, invariably, lent on condition of a rent being paid to the Church. The amount of such rent was often very small ; but it was at any rate a recognition of ownership. In some cases the land was thus lent to powerful men to secure their support, or to the relatives of a bishop or abbot as a private favour.
