Compare 1577 edition: 1 The kings ambassadours hearing this, were som|what troubled in their minds: wherevpon William Warlewast burst out and said with great vehemen|cie euen to the popes face: Eadmerus. The saieng of Wil. Warle|wast to the pope. Whatsoeuer is or may be spoken in this maner to or fro, I would all that be present should well vnderstand, that the king my maister will not lose the inuestitures of churches for the losse of his whole realme. Unto which words Pas|chall himselfe replieng, said vnto him againe:
The popes answer to him If (as thou saiest) the king thy maister will not forgo the inuestiture of churches for the losse of his realme, know thou for certeine, and marke my words well, I speake it before God, that for the ransome of his head, pope Paschall will not at any time permit that he shall enioie them in quiet.At length by the aduise of his councell, the pope granted the king certeine priuileges and customes, which his predecessours had vsed and enioied: but as for the inuestitures of bi|shops, he would not haue him in any wise to meddle withall: Polydor. yet did he confirme those bishops whom the king had alreadie created, least the refusall should be occasion to sowe any further discord.

The king being still other|wise persuaded, and looking for other newes, was no|thing pleased with this matter. Long it was yer he would giue ouer his claime, or yéeld to the popes EEBO page image 32 iudgement, till that in processe of time, ouercome with the earnest sute of Anselme, he granted to ob [...]ie the popes order herein, though (as it should appeare) right sore against his will.
Compare 1577 edition: 1 In this meane time, [...]he king had seized into his hands the possessions of the archbishop of Canturbu|rie, Wil. Malm. and banished Anselme, so that he staied at Lions in France for the space of one yeare and foure mo|neths, during which time there passed manie letters and messages to and fro. The pope also wrote to king Henrie in verie courteous maner, exhorting him to call Anselme home againe, and to release his claime to the inuestitures of bishops,The pope writeth cour|teouslie to the king. wherevnto he could haue no right, sith it apperteined not to the office of any temporall magistrate: adding furthermore, if the king would giue ouer that vngodlie and vsurped custome, that he would shew such fréendlie fauour in all things, as by the sufferance of God in any wise he might be able to performe, and further would re|ceiue not onelie him, but also his yoong sonne Wil|liam (whom latelie it had pleased God to send him by his vertuous wife queene Maud) into his pro|tection, so that who so euer did hurt either of them, should be thought to hurt the holie church of Rome.
