INNOCENTIUS Episcopus, &c. Venerabilibus fratribus & dilectis filiis universis Ecclesiarum Praelatis per Angliam constitutis, salutem & Apostolicam Be∣nedictionem. Dignis laudibus attollimus magnificentiam creatoris, postquam idem, qui est mirabilis & terribilis in consiliis super filios hominum, aliquamdiu tolleravit ut per flando discurret per Areolam horti sui spem tempestatis quasi ludens, taliter in orbe terrarum, ut sic ostenderet infirmitatem & insufficientiam nobis, statim cum voluit, dixit & Aquiloni, da, & Austro, noli prohibere, imperansque ventis per mare, statuit procellam in aura, ut nautae portum inveniant praeoptatum. Cum∣que enim inter Regnum et Sacerdotium Anglicanum, non sine magno periculo atque damno, super electionibus Praelatorum gra∣vis fuerit controversia diutius agitata; illo tandem, cui nihil im∣possibile est, quique ubi vult spirat mirabiliter operante, Charissi∣mus Iohannes Rex Anglorum illustris, liberaliter ex mera et spon∣tanea voluntate, (Therefore an Act of grace, though forced, not of right, duty to the Bishops and Church) de consensu communi Baronum suorum, pro salute animae suae, et praedecessorum suorum et successorum, nobis concessit, et suis Literis confirmavit: ut de caetero in universis et singulis Ecclesiis ac Monasteriis, Cathedralibus et Conventuali∣bus totius Regni Angliae, in perpetuum liberae fiant electiones quo∣rumcumque Praelatorum, majorum et etiam minorum. Nos igi∣tur hoc gratum et ratum habentes, concessionem hujusmodi vobis et per vos Ecclesiis et successoribus vestris, prout in eisdem Literis Regis perspe••imus contineri, authoritate Apostolica confirmamus, et praesentis scripti patrocinio communimus. Ad majorem autem firmitatem, et perpetuam memoriam hujus rei, praefatas Regis Literas super hoc confectas, praesentibus misceri fecimus, quarum tenor talis est.
