At length archbishop Willi|am was conuicted and deposed, Albert bishop of Ho|stia pronouncing sentence in this wise:

We doo de|crée by the apostolike authoritie, that William arch|bishop of Yorke is to be deposed from his sée, bicause Stephan king of England, before any canonicall e|lection, named him.
