Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 He had before this also written certeine letters vnto his suffragans, R. Houe. denouncing some of these and other persons by expresse name accursed, not onelie for mainteining the matter against him, touching the ancient custome of the realme: but also for the schisme raised in Almaine by Reignald archbishop of Colein, for the which he accursed one Iohn of Ox|ford. Moreouer, he accursed Ranulfe de Broc, Hugh de S. Clete, & Thomas Fitz Bernard, for violentlie seizing vpon and deteining the goods and possessions belonging to his archbishoprike, without his consent or agréement therevnto.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The king on the other part banished out of Eng|land, and all parts of his other dominions, all those persons that were knowen to be of kin vnto the archbishop, both yoong and old: and furthermore sent aduertisement to the abbat of Pountney and to his moonks, with whom the archbishop by the popes ap|pointment remained, that if they kept him still in their house, he would not faile to banish all the moonks of their order out of England. Now the archbishop, after he had remained there scarse two yeares, departed from thence of his owne accord, and came to the king of France, who courteouslie re|ceiued him, and sent him to the abbeie of saint Co|lumbes neere to the citie of Sens, where he remai|ned a certeine season, as shall be shewed hereafter.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Shortlie after this, two legats named William of Pauia, and Iohn of Naples both cardinals, Matth. Paris. Legats from the pope. came from the pope to Montmiriall, whom the archbishop suspected rather to fauour the kings cause than his: yet he was contented that they should haue the iudg|ment thereof committed vnto them: so that first (ac|cording to the rules of the church) restitution might be made both to him and his, of such goods as had beene taken from them. For being spoiled, as he was, he would not stand to any iudgement, nor could not be compelled thervnto by any reason (as he said.) EEBO page image 75 Now when the two legats saw that they could not bring any thing to passe, they departed without any thing concluded.
