Catalogue description AN INDULGENCE granted by POPE CLEMENT VIII.

To all the faithful in Christ of both sexes, who, having truly repented and confessed and partaken of the Holy Communion, shall devoutly resort to the parish church of St. Gobeneta, at Ballyvourney (in Muscrye), in the diocese of Cloyne, on that saint's day [11th February] from sunrise to sunset, and there offer pious prayers to God for the concord of Christian princes, the extirpation of heresies, and the exaltation of holy mother Church, we remit, in the usual formulary of the Church, ten years and as many forties of the penances imposed on or in any other way whatsoever incurred by them. These presents to be in force for ten years only. But if besides we have granted to the faithful in Christ resorting to the said church any other indulgence in perpetuity or for a fixed time not yet expired, these presents are to be void. Given at Rome, at St. Mark's, under the seal of the Fisherman, 12 July 1601, in the 10th year of our pontificate.
