Latin Text [a translation below]:
Omnibus has visuris sautem et beneditionem in Domino.

Synodum dioecesanam hoc anno, Deo juvante habituri, ut SS Patrum instituta, praeceptaque sequamur; ne pereat fructus ille, quem ex ea capere omnes possumus, monemus in Dominio, ac poenis sacrorum Canonum, seu aliis ad arbitrium nostrum proponendis, jubemus in virtute Sanctae Obedientiae Ecclesia nostrae Cathedralis Canonicos omnesque etiam Regulares, curae animarum in Dioecesi nostra addictos, et quoscunque tam e Clero Saeculari quam Regulari, qui ratione Facultatum quas a nobis obtinent, vel ex alio aliquo titulo Synodo hujus Dioecesis interesse debent, die sexta mensis maii proximi in nostrum proCathedralem Ecclesiam sancti felicis convenire, neque vero pro se alios mittere; nisi qui legitima causa sint impediti, quam nobis probaverint. Volumus autem ut haec Synodi indictio affixa valvis proCathedralis ecclesiae perinde omnes, et singulos interesse debentes afficiat, ac si fuisset singulus singulatim intimata.

in Feriis Quintis ante Synodum a die 16 aprilis Missae de Spiritu Sancto fiant, vel Collecta dicatur, et in Dominicis ac Festis Diebus, Litaniae Sanctorum ante Missam recitentur.
Datum Northantoniae Die 19 Mensis Martii A. D. 1857

Rough Translation:
To all health and blessing in the Lord.

We will have a Diocesan Synod this year, with the help of God, so that we may follow the institutions and precepts of the Holy Fathers; lest that fruit be lost, which we all can take from it, we warn in the Dominion, and by the punishments of the sacred Canons, or by proposing to others at our discretion, we command, by virtue of Holy Obedience, the Canons of our Cathedral Church, and all the Regulars also, committed to the care of souls in our Diocese, and any both from the Secular and Regular Clergy, who, by reason of the Faculties which they obtain from us, or by reason of some other title, must attend the Synod of this Diocese, on the sixth of May next, in our pro-Cathedral Church of St. Felix, and not send others in their stead; except those who are hindered by a legitimate cause, which they have proved to us. This notice of Synod will be affixed to the gates of the Cathedral church, should equally affect all those who must attend, as if it had been intimated to each one individually.

On the Thursdays before the Synod from the 16th of April Masses on the Holy Spirit should be held, or the Collect said, and on Sundays and Feast Days, the Litany of the Saints should be recited before the Mass.

Given at Northampton on the 19th day of March, A. D. 1857

manuscript annotation on reverse: "The Synodal mass will be at 9. Each one should bring his cassock, surplis, biretta and praxis Synodi Diocesanes."

Fr Baker's ministry is harmful being direct and open disobedience of the Holy See. A review of the documents sent by Fr Baker were considered by the Synodal Examiner and the Pro-Synodal Examiner as not a sufficient answer and his ministry was harmful. Fr Baker had refused to resign and hence the Bishop is removing him from his office as Parish Priest at Downham Market. He has to hand over to Father Sketch.
