Compare 1577 edition: 1 They shewed also a note of certeine articles con|teined in the charter, Matth. Paris. which seemed to make most for the kings purpose, and withall declared that the king in open assemblie, where he and the barons met to talke of such matters, had protested that the king|dome of England speciallie apperteined (as touching the souereingtie) vnto the church of Rome, whervpon he neither could nor ought without knowledge of the pope to ordeine anie thing anew, or change ought within that kingdome in preiudice thereof. Where|fore whereas he put himselfe and all the rights of his kingdome by way of appealing vnder the protection of the apostolike sée: the barons yet without regard had to the same appeale, did seize into their possessi|on the citie of London, and getting them to armour, inforced the king to confirme such vnreasonable ar|ticles, as there appeared for him to consider.
Compare 1577 edition: 1 The popes answer vnto the kings am|bassadours.The pope hauing heard their tale, and considered of the articles, with bending browes (in witnesse of his indignation) made foorthwith this short answer:
And is it so, that the barons of England doo go about to expell their king, which hath taken vpon him the crosse, and is remaining vnder the protection of the apostolike sée And doo they meane indéed to tran|slate the dominion that belongeth to the church of Rome vnto another? By S. Peter we cannot suffer this iniurie to passe vnpunished. Herevpon (credi|ting the ambassadours words) by the aduice of his cardinals, he decréed that all those priuiledges, which the king had granted vnto the lords and barons of this realme, as inforced thereto by their rebellious attempt, should be accounted void and of none ef|fect.Also he wrote vnto the lords, admonishing them by his letters that they should obeie their king, vpon paine of his cursse if they should attempt anie thing that sounded to the contrarie.
Compare 1577 edition: 1 ¶At the same time there was in the court of Rome (as Hector Boetius saith) a cardinall named Gualo or Wallo, a verie couetous person, Hect. Boetius. Cardinall Gualo. and such a one (as in that place some are neuer wanting) which for mo|nie passed not what he did further anie mans suit, without regard either to right or wrong, by whose chiefe trauell and means the pope was greatlie in|duced to fauour king Iohns cause, and to iudge with him in preiudice of the lords purposes, as before is expressed.
