[1] These bishops with other to them associate, made instant request and suit to the king for the obseruing of the popes commandement, and to eschew the cen|sures of the church, but that was in vaine: for the king in a great rage sware, that if either they or any other presumed to put his land vnder interdiction, he would incontinentlie therevpon send all the prelats within the realme out of the same vnto the pope, and seize all their good [...] vnto his owne vse. And further he added,Romans, that is such chap|leines stran|gers as be|longed to the pope. that what Romans soeuer he found within the precinct of any his dominions, he would put out their eies, and slit their noses, and so send them pack|ing to Rome, that by such marks they might be knowne from all other nations of the world. And herewith he commanded the bishops to packe out of his sight, if they loued their owne health and preser|uation.
