to the Pope that the King had done soe much malice then hee was towards the King full wroth and sent two Legates unto the King that one was called Pandulfe and that other Dur●unt that they should warne the King in the Popes name that hee should cease of his Persecution that hee did unto holy Chirche and amend the wrong and the trespasse that hee had done to the Archbyshop of Canterbury and to the Priour and to the Monkes of Canterbury and to all the Clergy of England And that hee should restore all the goodes agen that hee had taken of them agenst their will and else they should curse him by name And to do this thing and to confirm the Pope toke them his Letters in Bulles Patents These two Legates came into Englond and came to the King to Northampton there that hee held his Parliament and full courteously they him salewed and said Syr we come from the Pope of Rome the peace of the holy Chirche and the Lond to amend And wee admonish you first in the Popes half that yee make full restitution of the goodes that yee have ravished and taken of holy Chirche and of the Lond and that yee receive Stephen Archbyshop of Canterbury into his Dignitee and the Priour of Canterbury and his Monkes and that yee yeld agen unto the Archbyshop all his Londs and Rents without any withhoulding And Syr yet moreover That yee shall make restitution unto all holy Chirche whereof they shall hould them well apaid Tho answered the King as touching the Priour and his Monkes of Canterbury all that yee have said I will doe gladly and all things that yee will ordeine But as touching the Archbyshop I shall tell you in my hert as it lyes That the Archbyshop leave his Archbyshoprick and that the Pope then for him would pray and then upon a venture mee should lyke some other Byshoprick to give him in Englond And upon this condition I will him accept and receive And neverthelesse as Archbyshop in England if hee abyde hee shall never have soe good safe conduyte but that hee shall be take Tho said Pandulph unto the King Sir holy Chirche was wont never to discharge an Archbyshop without cause reasonable But it ever hath heene wont to chastize Princes that to God and holy Chirche were disobedyent What how now said the King menace yee mee Nay said Pandulph But yee now have openly tould as it standeth in your heart And to you wee will tell what is the Popes will And thus it standeth that hee hath you hooly enterdyted and accursed for the wrongs that yee have done to holy Chirche and to the Clergy And forasmuch as yee dwell and heth in will to abyde in malice and in wretchednesse and will not come out thereof ne to amend yee shall understond that this time afterward the sentence is upon you geven and houldeth stede and strength and upon all tho that with you hath communed before this time whether they bene Earles Barons or Knights or any other whatsoever that they bee wee them assoylle safely unto this day And from this tyme afterward of what condition soever they bene wee them accurse that with you comyne ony word and doe wee sentence upon them openly and specially And wee assoylle clene Earles Barons Knights and all other men of their homages services and feautees that they should unto you doe And this tydynge to conferme wee geve plaine power to the Byshop of Winchester and to the Byshop of Norwich And the same power wee geve into Scotland to the Byshops of Rochester and of Salisbury And in Wales wee geve the same power to the Byshop of Saint Davids and of Landaff and of Saint Asse And moreover wee sente thrughout all Chrystendome that all the Byshops beyond the Sea that they doe accurse all those that helpe you or any Counsell giveth you in any manner nede that yee have to doe in any part of the World And wee assoylle them alsoe all by authoryte of the Pope and commaund them alsoe with you for to fight as with him that is Enemy to all holy Chirche Tho answered the King What may yee doe more to mee Tho answered Pandulph Wee say to you in the word of God that yee ne no Heyre that yee have never after this day may be Crowned Tho said the King By him that is Almighty God and I had wift this ere that yee came into my Londe that yee had brought mee such tydings I should have made you ride all one year Tho answered Pandulph Full well wende wee at our first cominge that yee would have beene obedyent to God and holy Chirche and have fullfilled the Popes Commandement And now wee have shewed unto you and pronounced the Popes will as wee were charged therewith And as now yee have said that if yee had wist the cause of our coming that yee would have do us to ryde all au hoole yeare And as well yee might have said that yee would have taken an hoole yeare of respyte by the Popes leave But for to suffer what dethe yee could ordeyne wee shall not spare for to tell you hooly all the Popes Message and his will that wee were charged with And anone tho commaunded the King the Shyriffs and Baylyffs of Northampton that were in the Kings presence that they should bring forth all the Prysoners that they might bee done to death before Pandulph for bycause the King wened that they would have gaynsaid their deeds for cause of the Dethe all thing that they had spoken afore When the Prysoners were come before the King the King commanded some to bee hanged and some to bee drawne and some to drawe out their Eyne out of their head And among all other there was a Clerke that had falsyde the Kings moneye and the King commanded that hee should be hanged and drawed And when Pandulph heard this Commandement of the King hee sterte him upright quickly and anone axed a Booke and a Candle and would have cursyd the King and all them that would set upon the Clerke any hand And Pandulph himselfe went for to seeke a Crosse And the King followed him and delivered him the Clerke by the hond that hee should doe with him what hee would and thus was the Clerke delivered and went thens And Pandulph and Duraunt his fellow wente from the King and came agen to the Pope of Rome and tould him that King Iohan would not amended bee but ever abode soe accursyd And neverthelesse the Pope graunted that yeare throughout all England that Priests might sing Masse in covenable Churches and consecrate our Lords body and give it to syck men which were likely to passe out of this World and alsoe that men might Chrysten Children over all the Londe And when the Pope wift and saw that the King would not bee under the rule of holy Chirche for no manner thing the Pope then sente to the King of Fraunce

one part he may cut away also another and so may his Successors and so the Empire should at last be brought to nothing and utterly destroyed which is against the Publique good and the end why the Empire is ordained Ex quo verè credo Whereupon I do truly believe that the aforesaid Donation De Iure cannot be of force to prejudice the Empire or the Successors He adds That praescriptio dat utile Dominium Ecclesiae praestitis tamen Tributis Censibus Imperatorum Directum non tollit Contra Principem non nisi quoad utile Dominium praescribitur because the Pope in using this Dominion doth it as the Emperors Deputy or Minister and in the Emperors name and so the Soveraignty still rests in the Emperor against which there is no prescription As for prescription by the Canon Law that is least available for the Pope For by the Canon Law there is required to a valid prescription TITULUS BONA FIDES Both which in this case of Constantines Donation and so in King Iohns too he saith seem to be wanting for there is a Title pretended where there is no Title at all quia datus per eum quidare non potuit and because the alienation is made contrary to Law as we have shewed Bona fides also is here wanting because the Pope and his Successors knew Res esse alienas hoc est Imperii Thus Albericus most clearly resolves whose words and reasons extend as fully to King Johns Charter as to Constantines pretended Donation to the Pope Antonius Rosellus noble both for his birth and learning in the Civil Law and other Literature though he defends the Donations made to Popes by Constantine Charles Lewes and Otho yet after long debate he concludes thus Firmiter teneo That as to those lands and territories which the Pope hath from antient times possessed by vertue of those gifts they are good for the possession profits utile Dominium seeing therin the Imperial right is not taken away SED DIRECTUM IMPERIUM EST PENES CAESAREM Directum Imperium est in ossibus Caesaris irremovibile vel inalienabile Habet ergo Papa executionem potestatis in the Territories given him but he hath not the Soveraign power over them that belongs to the Emperor who in all temporal goods and possessions is the Soveraign Prince For as we daily see the Emperor gives Dukedoms Earldoms or Kingdoms et tamen retinet in directo Dominio ipsam Inrisdictionem et Jus Imperii in ipsis bonis aut commissis even so in those gifts given by the Emperors to the Church or Pope JUS IMPERII et Jurisdictionem retinuit et retinet quamvis utile Dominium ejus et executionem potestatis Pontifici commisit He subjoyns The Donation to the Pope is good quoad proprietatem dominium particulare sed non quoad Jurisdictionem totalem Jus Imperii Although the Pope be capable of Imperial right quoad subsidium non tamen est capax principaliter ideo impossibile est per viam praescriptionis Nay it is impossible that in the same person should subsist the Imperial Authority and the Priesthood ideo impossibile est per viam praescriptionis He further resolves If there happen a controversie betwixt the Pope and the Prince concerning any meer temporal matter I think the Emperour himself ought to be Judge herein seeing in Temporal matters he is above all even the Pope himself ipse est Judex suae causae the Emperour is Judge in his own cause as the Law teacheth Therefore King John his Successors and Parliaments are meet Judges in the case of England by like reason who have adjudged this Kings Charter voyd He proceeds one step further Whereas the Popes to make sure that Authority which they use in the Patrimony of St. Peter cause the Emperour to swear that he will not exercise that Imperial Authority which he hath in those Lands but permit the Popes to enjoy the same as they have used tying the Emperours by this Oath from the exercise of any Imperial Jurisdiction in those Territories this learned Lawyer teacheth That Emperours indeed after they have once taken this Oath cannot intermeddle in those Lands but ought by vertue of their Oath leave the Jurisdiction therein to the Pope But withall he adds that seeing the Emperor retaineth still the direct dominion in those Lands which dominion he cannot possibly passe away to the Pope his Successors need not to take that Oath and not taking it saith he they may actually use their own Imperial Rights and Jurisdiction in the same and it were better they would do so Hugo Grotius one of the learnedest most judicious Lawyers Scholars of this later age positively concludes Rex partem populi alienare non potest nisi etiam pars de qua alienanda agitur consentiat accedente populi consensu libero alienari posse etiam à rege quid obstet non video Quare subscribere non possumus Jurisconsultis qui de non alienandis Imperii partibus adjiciunt exceptiones duas de publica utilitate de necessitate nisi hoc sensu ut ubi est eadem utilitas communis corporis partis facile etiam ex silentio etiam non longi temporis consensus populi partis intervenisse videatur facilius verò si etiam necessitas appareat At ubi manifesta est in contrarium voluntas aut corporis aut partis nihil actum debet intelligi Sub alienatione merito comprehenditur infeudatio sub onere Quare videmus a pluribus populis irritas habitas ut alienationes ita infeudationes Regnorum quas populis inconsultis Reges fecerant Populum autem consensisse intelligimus sive totus coiit quod olim apud Germanos Gallos fieri solebat sive per Legatos partium integrantium mandato sufficiente instructos Nam facimus quod per alium facimus d Sed nec pignori dari pars Imperii poterit nisi consensu simili non ea tantum de causa quod ex pignoris datione sequi alienatio soleat sed quod et Rex teneatur populo ad exercendum per se summum Imperium et populus partibus suis ad conservandum hoc exercitium in sua integritate cujus rei gratia in societatem civilem coitum est Patrimonium quoque populi cujus fructus destinati sunt ad sustentanda Reipublicae aut Regiae dignitatis onera a Regibus alienari nec in totum nec in partem potest Nam in hoc jus majus fructuario non habent Nec admitto distinctionem si res modicum videat quia quod meum non est ejus nec exiguam partem alienare mihi jus est sed in rebus modicis quam in magnis consensus populi ex scientia et ex silentio facilius praesumitur Existimat Barclaius Si Rex regnum alienet aut alii subjiciat amitti ab eo

His other Bishops petition that the Prior and Monks of Canterbury might use no new Jurisdiction over them to disturbe the peace of the Clergy or Realm the Kings Prohibition thereon to them 600. Very dear to the Pope as created by him suspected to the English as apt to do any thing to the Kingdoms prejudice to please the Pope he departs suddenly out of the Realm to him 626. The chief of the Papal Bishops who promoted the Popes extortions disswaded Earl Richard and the King from opposing them having a power from the Pope to Interdict the Land by whose counsils the King being swayed effeminately relinquished his manly resolutions to withstand the Popes intollerable exactions trembling for fear of the Popes menaces 675. This Bishop imitating Grosthead in passing through his Diocesse by himself or his Clerks specially designed to visit it compelled as will Freemen as Villains without the Kings special command to take an Oath to make Inquisition according to his will against custome and the excellency of the Royal Dignity from whence great scandal and schism were engendred in the people Whereupon the King issued a Writ to the Sheriffs of Gloucester and Worcester commanding them that they should from thenceforth permit no Lay-person to appear before the said Bishop or his Clerks for the cause aforesaid so as he might be able justly to commend their diligence therein which quelled this his usurping innovation 705. Summoned to present at St. Edwards Feast at Westminster to honour and adore the false relique of Christs blood 715.

The Popes command to him to absolve William Beauchamp the Kings Sheriff of Worcester and others from an Excommunication denounced by him against them for things belonging to the Kings Court to his prejudice or else the Archbishop to absolve them a Parent of Procuration by the King thereupon 735. The Kings Letter to the Pope to call him to an account for the Crosse-money and redemption of Vows received or distributed 758. Appointed one of the preachers of the Crosse to all the Londoners summoned to Westminster by the King 766. Joynes with Bishop Grosthead in opposing a Tax and Disme granted by the Pope to the King 771. Collectors assigned in his Bishoprick for the Disme granted the King in Parliament 814. Writs to them to hasten the Collection 917 1034. Protested he would rather be hanged then yield to such an insupportable exaction as Rustand demanded for the Pope from the English Prelates and Clergy 823. Excommunicated some of the Sheriff of Worcesters Bailiffs for distreining upon his Lands after which an Attachment and Distringas issuing against him for this contempt he released his Excommunication whereupon the King suspended his Attachment and Distringas 860. One of the Kings Counsil the Bishop of Ely his Will produced under his Seal 965. A Writ to him to sequester the Benefices of John Walerand an accountant and debtor to the King 978. A Writ to his Official prohibiting the citing of any of the Kings Clerks to answer for their Benefices out of the Realm 981. One of the Kings Proxies and solemn Nuncioes before the French King and Popes Legate Arbitrators of the differences between him and his Barons 1002. Peremptorily adhered to the Barons Constitutions at Oxford against the King asserted that the King having sworn to them the Pope had no power to absolve him from his Oath nor reverse those Provisions made and sworn to by common consent drawing with him many false Prophets into this his error ravenous Wolves in Sheeps cloathing against the Vicar of Christ and the Lords anointed their own King muttering not what the Holy Ghost gave them to utter but what the object of the supreme power this Bishop to gainsay 1016. The night before the battle of Lewes he absolved Simon Earl of Leicester and all his Souldiers Complices from all their sins commanding them upon the remission of their sins to fight manfully for justice the next day promising entrance into the Kingdom of Heaven to all who dyed in that cause 1022. Publickly excommunicated by name in the Council of Northampton by the Popes Legate for siding with and encouraging the Barons against the King He soon after dyed basely 1018. Godfry Gifford the Kings Chancellor elected Bishop one of the 6. persons chosen in and by the Parliament at Kenelworth to elect 6. more who upon their Oath were to draw up Articles tending to peace and settlement between King H. 3. and those who had been and then were in armes again him who thereupon drew up the Statute of Kenelworth 1019. The King upon his election presently granted him the profits of the Bishoprick during the vacancy belonging to the Crown of antient right towards the repair of the houses and edifices then fallen to decay gave him a special license to fence his houses within the Close at Worcester and at Widdington in Gloucester-shire with a wall of stone lime and battlements in form of a Castle by two special Patents and so to hold them to him and his successors for ever without question or impediment of him or his Heirs 1038 1064.
