Ep. ● That seruant would haue made my self a party in contriuing the destruction of the Lumbards there had not been any nation at this day of that name to haue had either King or Duke or Earie But because I feare God I dare not make a party to destroy any man This is not the man who sits in Peters chaire but at which my hart trembles that Gregory who first was called Hildebrand as much as see Antonin p. 2. Benno the Cardinal of the life and acts of Gregory the VII otherwise called Hildebrand the life of Henry iiii Sigebert and others A fire brand of hell Gregory I say that Coniurer the Monke who cursed the Emperour Henry iiii and made him come vnto him so farre as Canusium without his robes royall in woollen cloth bare footed and bare legged in a sharpe winter and there for all the meanes he could make by himselfe by mediators in most base sort submitting himselfe yet made him dance attendance three whole daies Who hauing at last receiued him to grace vpon another forged quarrell did accurse him again depriued him of his ancient hereditary right in collation of Ecclesiasticall preferments and made that most vnequall and intolerable constitution which princes should in no case suffer If heereafter any man do receiue the inuesture into a Bishopricke or an Abbey at the hand of any lay persons let him in no case be held as an Abbat or Bishop nor haue audience as an Abbat or Bishop and moreouer wee denie him the grace of S. Peter and forbid him to come within the Church That Gregory who absolued the Princes of Germanie from the oath of allegeance which they haue taken causing them to take the field against their soueraigne and lawfull Prince by him deposed setting vp Ralph Duke of Sweueland in his roome vnto whom hee sent a crowne of gold with this motto The rocke to Peter gaue the crowne Peter to Radolph sends it downe That Gregory sate in Peters chaire who at length was abandoned of his owne men saw the city of Rome surprised himselfe laid prisoner in Crescentius or Angels Castell after that exiled to Selerno where he confessed his capitall treason against Saint Peter Gods Church his Lord the Emperour which by the Diuels perswasion hee put in practise and so in horrible anguish and torment of mind miserably ended his wretched daies hauing formerly in the Councels of Brixia and Mentz beene depriued of all Papall dignitie condemned as a breaker of good orders in the Church as a disturber of the Empire a sower of scandals a church-robber a magitian a relapse from the saith giuen to diuinations and to sorcery one that had a familiar spirit with him And as for Alexander the third his pride intolerable appeareth hence Frederick the second of that name being by him formerly excommunicate came vnto Venice to make his peace with him promising to vnder goe any penance the agreement passed betweene them so Alexander the Pope standing in the doore of S. Markes Church in the view and sight of all people bad the Emperour cast himselfe downe vpon the ground and there in open audience desire absolution which he accomplishing the Pope setting his foot vpon the Emperors necke said these words It is written Psal 91. Thou shalt walke vpon the Aspe and the Basiliske thou shalt tread the Lion and the Dragon vnder foot The Emperour heereat protesting he did it not To him but to Peter the Pope replied Both to mee and Peter putting himselfe not only aboue the Emperour but before S. Peter also And these are the men Gregory the VII and Alexander the III. whom Baronius calleth the Principall rootes of the decaied liberty of the Church And with whom he dareth match Paul the Fift present Pope Surely it bodeth no good to Kings to Princes to the Christian world vnlesse he missed happily in his parallels which I rather thinke the man did than that the Christian world should feare any such vaine coniecturall opinion And hee had almost beene in the Conclaue of Leo the eleuenth wanting but 5. or 6. voices But so the case standeth Baronius if he will be some body I had almost said if he will be Pope must resolue vpon somewhat worthy the halter or the hangman But happily heere he will except and say The Emperour Henry was a most froward and peruerse man and so worthy to be handled as he was by Hildebrand But sure both are false For neither was he such as you defame him nor if he had beene was he so to be vsed of Christ his Vicar who ought to haue hearkned vnto his Masters words Matth. 11.
