The grant and limitations of the said Letters Patent, so far as they relate to the title of Inchiquin, are as follow, namely: “Et ullius de ubiori grã nrã spãli pfatum Mawrum Obreen in baronem parliamenti t regni nři Hiðniæ "ordinam deputam creamus t constituimp psentes atq, titulum nomen t stilum Baronis de Insykwyne in regno "não Hitniæ dicet locum in singulis Parliamentis infra dem regnu Hitniæ posthac celebrand celaq jura t "privilegia nĩa ipius regni baronib; ejusdem ex lege t consuetudine aliove quovis pacte ptinen eidem Mawro "Obreen damt concedim eisq, ipm adeo libet ample uti t gaudere sicu unqam aliquis baro đci regni nři “Hiðniæ usus fuit aut debuit volum Hend t gaudend Pdcm nomen statum stilum t titulum Baronis de "Insykwyne cum omib3 honorib3 peminenciis Progativis comoditatib; t celis missis eidem spectan Pfato "Mawro Obreen ac hered" masculis de corpore suo legitime pcreal.
