Compare 1577 edition: 1 The moonks of Canturburie therefore still fea|ring least that church should greatlie preiudice such rights and liberties, as they pretended, namlie in the election of their archbishop, would neuer rest, but still complained and followed their suit in most obsti|nate maner in the court of Rome, as well in the daies of the said Baldwine, as now against Hubert, (when he tooke in hand to continue the worke accor|ding to the purpose of his predecessour the said Bald|wine, which was to haue instituted a colledge there, and to haue placed secular canons in the same) and such was the earnest trauell of the moonks herein, that in the end now after the deceasse of pope Cele|stine, they found such fauour at the hands of pope Innocent his successor,The pope cõ|mandeth the church of La|meth to be raced. that the same Innocent di|rected his letters of cõmandement to the archbishop, and other bishops of this land, to destroie and race the same foundation, as a péece of worke derogatorie to the sée of Canturburie, and verie preiudiciall to the estate of holie church.
Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The archbishop at the first trusted to be borne out by the king (who was highlie offended with the moonks for their presumptuous dealing) and therfore refused to obeie the popes commandement. The king in deed stomached the matter so highlie, that he sent letters vnto the moonks by no worsse messengers than by Geffrey Fitz Peter, and Hugh Fitz Bar|dolfe his iustices, signifieng to them not onelie his high displeasure for their presumptuous proceedings in their suit without his consent, but also command|ing them to surceasse, and not to procéed further in the matter by vertue of any such the popes letters, which they had purchased contrarie to the honour and dignitie of his crowne and realme. Moreouer, he wrote to the bishops, commanding them to appeale; and to the archbishop, forbidding him in any wise to breake downe the church which he had so builded at Lameth.
Compare 1577 edition: 1 The presum|tuous stout|nesse of the moonks.The shiriffe of Kent also was commanded to seize into his hands all the tenements and possessions that belonged to the moonks (a frie of satan, and as one saith verie well of them and the like leuen of lewd|nesse,
who neuerthelesse were so stout in that quarell, that they would not prolong one daie of the time appoin|ted by the pope for the racing of that church. Herevp|on the king for his part and the bishops in their owne behalfes wrote to the pope. Likewise the abbats of Boreley, Fourd, Stratford, Roberts-bridge, Stan|leie, and Basing Warke, wrote the matter to him: and againe the pope and the cardinals wrote to the king, to the archbishops, and bishops: and so letters passed to and fro, till at length the pope sent a Nun|cio of purpose, to signifie his full determination, as in the next yeare it shall be shewed at full.—sentina malorum,Agnorum sub pelle lupi, mercede colentesNon pietate Deum, &c.)
