Conditions But Clement void of all Clemency perswading himself that this was long of the Emperor blamed him for all Cursed him even at the Consecration of the Sacrament Deposed him from the Empire Pronouncing him an Heretick Schismatick and Rebellious Son who kick'd at his Holy Mother the Church of Rome and commanded the Electoral Princes to ●huse another Emperor in his stead But the Bishop of Mentz having Written a Letter in Vindication of the Emperor intreating his Holiness to consider his Innocence and that there was a righteous Iudg in Heaven who would not suffer that to be pluck'd up which he himself had planted c. was Deposed from his Bishoprick And the rest of the Princes partly being afraid of the Pope's Curse Excommunication and Deposition and partly being Brib'd by Iohn King of Bohemia chose his Son Charles King of the Romans the Pope confirming the Election in open Consistory and for further Approbation caused privately to Poison the Emperor Who being daunted with Cursing Hell and Damnation lay Neutral and did not meddle with the Empire nor any publick Affairs But who is able saith Marius to express the cruel War and Blood-shed that followed in the Empire by means of this mischief wrought by Clement For King Edward the Third of England by the Assistance of his Son the black Prince Slew 20000 French-men with John King of Bohemia the Father of the Emperor Charles with many more Princes and Nobles Now Charles whom the Pope by Cursing and Excommunicating had made Emperour to secure the Empi●● to his Son did so corrupt the Electoral Princes with B●●es and fair Promises that at last he was forced to m●●gage to them the common Revenues of the Empire A●d being once in Possession they would secure nothing 〈◊〉 him unless he would bind himself both by Oath and ●● that the Pledges which they had should never be redeemed And thus his Holiness the Pope the Father of the Mother Church hath by Degrees so weakned the Wall of Christendom that if it had not been for an Invisible Wall of Fire the great Turk had before this time fixed his Standard at Vienna and Sh in St. Peter's Chair Now this Pope for his greater advantage caused the Iubele to be Celebrated at Rome Anno 1350.

In another Bull he wrote thus We will not that any man be tormented in himself with the pains of Hell And also we grant to all those that wear the Cross three or four Souls at their own pleasure whomsoever they will to deliver out of Purgatory c.
