The B. of Sarisburie.
This policie, practised by the Pope, loosed the whole power of Christendome.
For as the Empiere before, beinge vnited, and ioined in one, was stronge, and
mighty, so beinge afterwarde diuided into twoo, and the Easte parte beinge sun∣dred
for the Weaste, it became lame, and weake, and not hable to healpe it selfe.
By meane whereof a gate was opened, to receiue the Turke into al these Christiā
Dominions, whiche nowe he holdeth, without resistance: who otherwise, the Em∣piere
beinge one, and whole in it selfe, as it was before, coulde neuer haue growen
to sutche Power. Al this was wrought by the Practise, and Policie of the
Pope.
Notwithstandinge, the Pope him selfe by this bargaine loste nothinge.
Thereof Marsilius Patauinus writeth thus:* 1.1Pipinus, Sonne vnto Charles the
Frenche Kinge, after he had conquered Aristulphus the Kinge of Lumbardie,
tooke Rauenna, and al the fiue Citties of Romandiola, togeather with the Empe∣rours
Lieutenantes Territorie called Exarchatus, and gaue al the same to the
Pope. Pope Steuin findinge him selfe wel contented with these benefites, and
séeinge the weakenesse of the Greeke Emperoure, procured, that the Empiere
should be translated from the Greekes vnto the Frenche, hauinge vtterly forgot∣ten
the benefites,* 1.2 that he had receiued of the Emperoure: to the intente, that the
Greekes beinge vtterly oppressed, and the Frenche litle caringe for these
thinges, he alone might rule in Italie at his pleasure.
Touchinge Pope Leo the thirde, whose Prouidence, & Policie ye so mutche
commende, the true reporte of the Storie is this: The saide Leo beinge by vio∣lence
depriued of his Bishoprike in Rome, fledde for aide to Charles the Frenche
Kinge, and by him was restoared. In consideration of whiche benefite, he pro∣claimed
Charles the Emperoure of the VVeaste. Sithence whiche time, the
Empiere of Christendome hath benne diuided, and weakened: the Pope enri∣ched:
and the Saracenes, and Turkes aboue al measure encreased.
