When king Henrie was in|formed hereof, he was gréeuouslie offended; and sware in a great chafe, that although the bishops had doone otherwise than they ought, yet would he stand in defense of the liberties of his realme, and would not so long as he had a day to liue, paie any dutie to the court of Rome, vnder the name of a tribute. In this meane while, the king with a puissant armie in|uaded the Welsh rebels, Matth. Paris. to reduce them to some quiet, whereas with their continuall incursions and other exploits, they had sore harried, vexed, and wa|sted the lands of the kings subiects.
