Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 About this time Gerard archbishop of Yorke died, whom one Thomas the kings chapleine succeeded, Eadmerus. The death of Gerard arch|bish. of Yo [...]ke. Thom [...]s the kings chap|leine succéeded in that sée. who for lacke of monie to furnish his iournie, and for other causes (as in his letters of excuse, which he wrot to Anselme it dooth appeere) could not come to Can|turburie for to be consecrated of him in so short a time as was conuenient. But Anselme at length admonished him by letters, that without delaie he should dispatch and come to be consecrated. And wheras Anselme vnderstood that the same Thomas was purposed to send vnto Rome for his pall,The doubt of Anselme. he doubted, least if the pope should confirme him in his seey by sending to him his pall, he would happilie re|fuse to make vnto him profession of his due obedi|ence.Anselme wri|teth to the Pope. Wherefore to preuent that matter, Anselme wrote to pope Paschall, requiring him in no wise to send vnto the nominated archbishop of Yorke his pall, till he had (according to the ancient customes) made profession to him of subiection, least some trou|blesome contentions might thereof arise, to the no small disquieting of the English church. He also ad|uertised pope Paschall, that bicause he permitted the emperour to inuest bishops, and did not therefore ex|communicate him, king Henrie threatened, that without doubt he would resume the inuestitures in|to his hands, thinking to hold them in quiet as well as he; and therefore be sought him to consider what his wisedome had to doo therein with spéed, least that building which he had well erected, should vtterlie de|caie, & fall againe into irrecouerable ruine. For K. Henrie maketh diligentlie inquirie (saith he) what order you take with the emperour.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The popes answer to Anselme.The pope receiuing and perusing these letters, wrote againe vnto Anselme a verie freendlie an|swer concerning the archbishop of Yorke. And as for suffering of the emperour to haue the inuesti|tures, he signified to him that he neither did nor would suffer him to haue them: but that hauing borne with him for a time, he now ment verie short|lie to cause him to feele the weight of the spirituall sword of S. Peter, which alreadie he had drawen out of the scaberd, therewith to strike if he did not the soo|ner forsake his horrible errour & naughtie opinion.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 There was another cause also that moued An|selme to doubt of the archbishop of Yorke his mea|ning,The archbi|shop of Yorke refuseth to come vnto Canturbu|rie to be con|secrated. as after it appéered. For being summoned to come and receiue his consecration at Canturburie (as alreadie yee haue heard) through counsell of the canons of Yorke he refused so to doo: bicause they informed him that if he so did, it should be greatlie preiudiciall to the liberties of that sée, whose archbi|shop was of like authoritie in all things vnto the archbishop of Canturburie, so that he was bound onelie to fetch his consecration and benediction at Canturburie, but in no wise to acknowledge anie subiection vnto that sée. ¶ For ye must vnderstand, that there was great stomaching betwixt the clergie of the two prouinces,Looke in the 9. page, and the first columne, of the debate betwéen Tho|mas of Yorke & Lan [...]renke of Cantur|burie. Canturburie and Yorke, about the metropolitane prerogatiue: and euer as occasion serued, and as they thought the fauor of the prince, or oportunitie of time might aduance their quarels, they of Yorke sticked not to vtter their gréefes, in that (as they tooke it) some iniurie was offered them therein.
