pretence_n that_o licinius_n the_o father_n be_v yet_o alive_a or_o do_v they_o continue_v to_o pray_v for_o licinius_n the_o father_n or_o licinius_n the_o son_n who_o his_o father_n have_v declare_v

andragalbius_n maximus_n thereupon_o invade_v britain_n the_o gaul_n and_o spain_n and_o be_v there_o proclaim_v emperor_n do_v you_o suppose_v that_o the_o church_n of_o these_o three_o great_a province_n of_o the_o empire_n of_o the_o west_n do_v continue_v to_o pray_v for_o valentinian_n who_o gratian_n have_v associate_v in_o the_o empire_n and_o that_o they_o refuse_v to_o pray_v for_o maximus_n or_o do_v you_o imagine_v that_o any_o schism_n happen_v among_o the_o christian_n of_o these_o three_o province_n upon_o this_o occasion_n true_a it_o be_v that_o there_o happen_v a_o schism_n between_o the_o church_n of_o france_n the_o great_a part_n whereof_o refuse_v to_o communicate_v with_o those_o bishop_n that_o have_v employ_v the_o authority_n of_o maximus_n for_o the_o punish_n of_o priscillian_n so_o great_a a_o enmity_n do_v this_o church_n at_o that_o time_n bear_v against_o all_o persecution_n but_o we_o do_v not_o read_v that_o the_o other_o bishop_n divide_v themselves_o some_o of_o they_o think_v themselves_o bind_v to_o pray_v for_o valentinian_n and_o other_o for_o maximus_n the_o usurper_n let_v any_o man_n read_v over_o the_o monument_n of_o those_o time_n and_o he_o shall_v no_o where_n find_v any_o the_o least_o instance_n that_o the_o christian_n of_o great_a britain_n do_v follow_v any_o other_o order_n in_o their_o prayer_n than_o the_o gaul_n and_o spaniard_n do_v if_o ever_o there_o be_v a_o just_a occasion_n to_o refuse_v to_o pray_v for_o a_o emperor_n it_o be_v then_o when_o phocas_n invade_v the_o empire_n and_o usurp_v it_o from_o maurice_n the_o barbarous_a cruelty_n which_o he_o use_v towards_o that_o emperor_n and_o four_o of_o his_o child_n can_v be_v read_v without_o sorrow_n theodosius_n the_o son_n of_o maurice_n who_o his_o father_n have_v declare_v augustus_n have_v escape_v the_o massacre_n well_o do_v we_o find_v that_o for_o all_o this_o the_o church_n refuse_v to_o pray_v for_o phocas_n they_o who_o will_v read_v the_o 38th_o epistle_n of_o the_o xi_o book_n of_o the_o pope_n that_o then_o be_v may_v judge_v whether_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n in_o the_o name_n whereof_o gregory_n write_v to_o phocas_n after_o that_o his_o accession_n to_o the_o empire_n have_v be_v signify_v to_o the_o church_n and_o to_o the_o roman_a senate_n make_v any_o difficulty_n to_o pray_v for_o phocas_n who_o all_o succeed_v posterity_n have_v consider_v as_o a_o great_a tyrant_n i_o can_v easy_o make_v it_o appear_v that_o the_o same_o maxim_n have_v be_v follow_v by_o all_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o west_n which_o be_v raise_v from_o the_o ruin_n of_o the_o roman_a empire_n but_o it_o will_v be_v sufficient_a to_o allege_v only_o the_o example_n of_o france_n some_o year_n since_o a_o great_a question_n have_v be_v start_v between_o father_n le_fw-fr cointe_n and_o the_o doctor_n of_o the_o court_n of_o rome_n the_o latter_a contend_v that_o the_o frank_n do_v not_o deprive_v king_n childeric_n of_o the_o royal_a title_n but_o by_o the_o concur_v authority_n of_o pope_n zachary_n whereas_o father_n le_fw-fr cointe_n reject_v this_o opinion_n for_o a_o mere_a legend_n mantain_v that_o the_o deposition_n of_o childeric_n be_v perform_v by_o the_o sole_a authority_n of_o the_o state_n of_o the_o frank_n see_v here_o what_o papebrocius_n write_v to_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v not_o improbable_a that_o pope_n zachary_n never_o so_o much_o as_o consent_v to_o this_o deposition_n because_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o nation_n judge_v it_o just_a and_o necessary_a for_o it_o be_v no_o new_a thing_n say_v he_o for_o the_o frank_n when_o they_o have_v dispatch_v any_o of_o their_o king_n or_o thrust_v they_o into_o monastery_n to_o substitute_v other_o in_o their_o

one_o that_o read_v the_o history_n of_o gregory_n of_o tours_n stuff_v with_o royal_a tragedy_n and_o revolution_n wherewith_o the_o pope_n never_o concern_v themselves_o or_o inquire_v into_o the_o right_n and_o title_n of_o those_o in_o possession_n of_o the_o throne_n by_o what_o mean_v soever_o they_o get_v to_o it_o and_o when_o ever_o do_v the_o patriarch_n of_o constantinople_n refuse_v to_o crown_n or_o the_o roman_a bishop_n to_o own_o those_o emperor_n which_o fortune_n any_o way_n soever_o offer_v to_o they_o for_o see_v none_o of_o the_o bishop_n nor_o of_o the_o abbot_n nor_o
