The king of England which now kicketh against the church, & beginneth to plaie Frederiks part, hath his counsell, & so likewise haue I, which I intend to fol|low.Other answer they cold not obteine.

When the pope heard of this, he wrote ve|rie sharplie to the bishops, commanding them on paine of excommunication and suspension, to sasisfie his Nuncio remaining at the new temple in Lon|don, before the feast of the Assumption of our ladie. And whereas the king minded to haue stood in the matter through threats of his brother the earle of Cornewall, and of certeine prelats, namelie, the bi|shop of Worcester (who had authoritie as was said to interdict the land) he yéelded and suffered the pope to haue his will, to the great griefe and discomfort of manie.
