Church of England and those Bishops Monks not to this Pope Nocent and his Successors 4ly The satisfaction that was made by the King to the Archbishop Bishops and Monks in admitting restoring them to their Temporalties goods confiscated and what ever unreasonable dammage they could pretend to though Arch Traitors Rebels Enemies to him deserving rather a Gibbet after so many successive Treasons and Practises against him was more then sufficient being then made and secured to the Church he had offended without this resignation or oblation of his kingdoms to this Pope by this charter and swearing homage to him And so the charter void upon this account 5ly That this Charter was made by the inspiration of the holy Ghost is as direct a lye and blasphemy against the holy Ghost as that of Ananias to St. Peter who lyed not only to men but to God For 1. The holy Ghost never instructed any King to resign up his Kingdoms without his Subjects consents to any who had not the least right or pretence thereto 2ly He never taught any Pope Prelate Apostle or Clergy-man to receive Crowns Scepters kingdoms or Oaths of Fealty Homage and subjection from Kings to them as their Vassals but expresly prohibits them to do it commanding them to live in subjection to them and not intangle themselves in tho affairs of this world as I have largely demonstrated 3ly The premised passages of Mat Paris Mat. Westminster and others assures us That Pope Innocent and his Legate Pandulphus inspired those motions into King John which induced him to make this Charter which were full of Antichristian menaces and untruths As that near all the Barons and Commons of England had by their Charters promised homage and fealty to the King of France and to assist him to seise his Crown and kingdoms by force of arms c. Now whether such an insolent Impostor as Pandulphus such an Antichristian Pope as this Innocent were in truth the holy Ghost or their false fraudulent menaces surmises infused into this King by the inspirations of the holy Ghost or can be so reputed without blasphemy let all sober Christians judge they really proceeding from the very father of Lyes the Devil 6ly This pretended holy Ghost inspired him to insert these 8. notorious Lyes and false Suggestions together into the very next words of the Charter 1. That he did it non vi inducti so the later Charter but the first non vi interdicti 2. Nec timore coacti 3. Sed nostra bona spontaneaque voluntate which 3. all the premised passages disprove 4. Ac Communi consilio Baronum nostrorum offerimus as the last or conferimus as the first Charter Contradicted by the Barons themselves King Henry the 3d. the whole Kingdom and their Proctors to the Popes face in the Council of Lyons King Edward the 3d. and his whole Parliament by our Historian yea the French King and all his Nobles as you have heard 5. Libere concedimus c. 6ly Deo Sanctis Apostolis Petro Paulo who neither required approved nor accepted this satisfaction nor to whom King John ever intended it 7ly Et Sanctae Ecclesiae Romanae matri nostrae she being then his and our Churches stepmother enemy not mother all made stales to usher in this clause which hath the sole colour of truth Ac Domino nostro is added in the last not in the first charter Papae Innocentio ejusque Catholicis successoribus totum Regnum Angliae totum Regnum Hyber niae the word nostrum is omitted in both Charters and annexed to neither therefore void in Law cum omni jure pertinentiis suis 8ly For this pretended end Pro remissione omnium peccatorum meorum the only supposed delinquent totius generis nostri tam pro vivis quam pro defunctis the later whereof were no wayes privie to not guilty of his surmised offences against the Pope and Church Which Charter being against his Oath trust office duty and the Laws increased his Sins but could no wayes tend towards the remission of them as this Pope and Pandulphus untruly suggested 7ly It s Nullity in Law is most apparent from these 3. grand defects 1. King Johns surrender of his Crowns kingdoms to Pandulphus at least 5. dayes before was only by word of mouth not Patent or Charter and so voyd in Law 2ly Pandulphus had no special Letter of Attorny from the Pope either to receive this charter or surrender to the Popes use or regrant his kingdoms to King John under this special annual rent homage and other conditions 3ly Here is no reconveyance of them from the Pope or his Legat to King Iohn by any special Bull but only King Johns bare charter to the Pope Therefore all a meer void Pageantry passing just nothing 8ly The Tenure of King John in the last Charter quite subverts the Popes Title For whereas the first runs Et amodo illa ab eo to wit Pope Innocent the later is amodo illa A Deo Ecclesia Romana tanquam feodum the first is secundarius recipientes tenentes That the Kings of England hold their Crowns Kingdoms immediatly and only from God and King Iohn as well as his Predecessors not from the Pope or Church of Rome I have formerly evidenced Therfore he by this Charter holding and receiving it only from God not the Pope to whom he here granted it as concedimus Deo evidenceth by whom alone Kings reign receive their kingdoms the Pope being not mentioned in this clause and the Church of Rome no party to this Charter nor Proprietarie of our Realms nor exalted so as to out God himself of the Kings immediate Tenure of his Crown from him alone as his Soveraign Lord the Charter must needs be void 9ly Upon this account the Oath of Homage made and sworn by the King to Pope Innocent in the presence of his Legat Pandulphus seeing all the branches thereof relate only to him and his Successors not to God St. Peter St. Paul or the Church of Rome only inserted for a blind in the prologue not in any branches of the Oath must necessarily be void in Law and conscience else God the Supream Landlord and his Church alone commanding one thing and the Pope another contrary thereunto as oft he doth the King and his Successors by his Oath and Homage should be bound to obey the Pope before God or the Church under pain of forfeiting their right in the two kingdoms which were both irreligious and absurd 10ly The Clause whereby the King obligeth his heirs and successors to do homage to the Pope and his Successors and not to contradict any thing in this charter under pain of forfeiting his Right to these kingdoms is contrary to the Rights and Prerogatives of the Crown specially excepted out of this grant yea contrary to the coronation Oath and Laws of the Realm Therefore it makes the Charter Null to

Swoll the Daughter of Fulco King of Jerusalem and Wife of King Theodoricus by the Consent of her Husband became a Nun or Religious woman at Jerusalem where she found as they write a good quantity of Christs bloud which Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea got out of the Wounds of Christ when they washed his body and she sent it to her Husband which bloud as they say is at this day kept at Bruges and is there shewed to the people on the Third day of May Besides this Viol of his Bloud sent into England which he likewise mentions If the Reliques of the bloud of Christ shed on the Crosse be extant in so many places then it could be no such peculiar blessing to England as was then pretended yea being found out only by this Nunne above a thousand years after Christs death it must doubtlesse be a Grosse Imposture as it was afterwards resolved declared and those most audatious false Witnesses who durst thus publickly attest the truth and reality of it under their Hands and seals upon her single evidence yea this our devout King his Nobles Prelates Clergy were strongly deluded to believe lyes who annually adored this bloud with such solemn Devotions Processions and used such artifices to induce the people to adore it as you have already heard In the year 1248. 32 H. 3. the Bishop of Durham presuming upon the Priviledges of his Bishoprick being a County Palatine granted by our Kings favour oppressing the Prior of Tynemouth against the Liberties granted to the Priory by the Kings royal predecessors and the Lawes of the Realm and refusing upon two former Letters sent unto him by the King intreating him in a fair and friendly manner to desist from oppressing the Prior in respect he was under his special protection the Bishop notwithstanding most contemptuously and ungratefully persevering in his illegal vexations aud slighting the Kings former Letters he therupon by his royal Prerogative sent this special Writ and Mandate to him to do justice to the Prior or else he would do him justice himself notwithstanding his Liberties and punish the injuries done unto him which he could not yea ought not any longer to endure HENRICUS Dei Gratiâ c.
