The minister charging to remove from his glebe, which was designed out of the abbot's lands, it was found, That he could not have his glebe out of abbots lands, in respect of the act of Parliament 1572, seeing there were parsons lands; which the Lords found ought first to be discussed, before any other abbots lands could be designed; and albeit the said parsons lands were of old feued, and that the same were all new built houses, and a part of the town of Dysart built thereon, so the minister alleged that the same was not arable land; yet the Lords found, That the minister had right first to seek the same, and that the feuers thereof should either remove therefrom, or else obtain and buy another glebe to him; for the Lords found, That the foresaid act of Parliament extended as well to the glebe as to the parson's and vicar's manse.
