PEr idem tempus, Petrus Wintoniensis Episcopus, ad mandatum Domini Papae* 1.1 Roma•• ••rofectus est, instante solennitate Paschali: ut guer∣ram ejus jamdiu contra Romanos accensam, ordinando juvaret. Novit enim eum Summus Pontifex pecunia abundare, et si non abundaret, ministrante Episcopatu Wintoniensi abundaturum; et maluit eum effundere Thesaurum suum in suo obsequio, quam alie∣no. Praeterea, idem Episcopus erat in obsequio Regis Richardi Bellatoris magnifici, diebus adolescentiae suae: ubi plus didicit in Bello dimicare, & Castra militum ordi∣nare, quam Evangelii semina praedicando seminare. The Pope having made as much use of him as he could for those ends, importuned the King for his return into England, as you have heard.
What other Letters the King sent this year to the Cardinals and Pope concerning his affairs, and the Annual Rent reserved on King Johns Charter, I have * 1.2 for∣merly related.
The King this year issued forth an Attachment against the Treasurer of the Dean of the Arches, and others, for suing contrary to his Prohibition in Court Christian, for a thing which concerned not Matrimony or Testament, which Attachment was respited by this Writ, upon their submission.
