Compare 1577 edition: 1 Moreouer, pope Clement ordeined Anthonie bi|shop of Durham, patriarch of Ierusalem, dispensing with him, so as he held still the bishoprike of Dur|ham, notwithstanding his other promotion; and this was, bicause the bishop was rich, and the pope poore. For this bishop might dispend in yearelie reuenues by purchases & inheritances,The great re [...]nues of Anthonie B. of Durham. besides that belonged to his miter, aboue fiue thousand marks, and he gaue great rewards to the pope, and to his cardinals, by means whereof he obteined in suit against the prior of Durham, so that he had the charge and ouersight of the monasterie of Durham, both the spirituall go|uernement and temporall, through informing the pope, that the prior was not able in discretion to rule the house. At his returning home, he caused a crosse of siluer and gilt, adorned with an image of the cruci|fix, to be borne afore him.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 But where he appointed certeine persons as his deputies to enter into the priorie of Durham, and to take charge thereof in place of the prior,He is kept out of the abbeie [...] Durham. the moonks shut the gates against them, appealing to the pope, and pretending the kings protection, which they had purchased. But those that thus came in the bishops name, accursed the moonks, & so departed. The king héerewith was highlie offended, so that he caused them to answer the matter afore the iustices of his bench, and for their presumption in pronouncing the cursse, without making the king priuie to their doo|ings, [...]e is summo| [...]ed to appéere before the K. [...] refuseth. they were put to their fines. And whereas the bishop was summoned to appeare before the king in person at a certeine daie, he made default, and de|parting out of the realme, got backe againe to the pope, contrarie to the kings prohibition: wherevpon the liberties of the see of Durham were seized into the kings hands, and the king placed his iustices and chancellor there, and in the yeare next insuing, he ex|acted of the tenants of the archbishoprike, the thir|téenth penie of their goods, and otherwise vexed them with sundrie talages.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The conclusion of this matter was this, that the prior was cited by the pope,The conclu|sion of the strife betwixt the bishop and moonks of Durham. to appeare at his consisto|rie, whither he went, hauing the kings letters in his fauour directed to the pope; wherevpon, when the pope had examined the matter, and heard the prior speake in his owne person, he perceiued him to be otherwise than he was informed (a sober and discréet man) and therefore restored him againe to the gouernment of his house; but he remained in the popes court, till after the kings death, and finallie died there himselfe in the yeare 1307. But now to returne to other doo|ings of king Edward. We find, that whilest he lay still at Lauercost,Bernards ca|stell giuen to the earle of Warwike. he gaue to the earle of Warwike Bernards castell, the which he had by escheat, through forfeiture thereof made by Iohn Balioll late king of Scotland. He also tooke and seized into his hands Penreth with the appurtenances.
