EOdem Anno, cum Magister Oto Domini Papae Nuntius, tempore quadragesimali* 1.1 ad Northanhumbriam profecturus, & procurationes desideratas exacturus; Northamptonam usque pervenisset, venerunt ad eum (Cantuariensi Archiepiscopo

procurante) Literae Domini Papae, in quibus continebatur expressum, ut statim visis Literis Romam veniret, ejus potestate penitus enervata. Obliquo igitur oculo Lite∣ris inspectis, demisso vultu * 1.2 eas projecet in ignem. Atque illico proposito mutato, clitellis vacuis ab Anglia recessit confusus, injuncto Stephano Cantuariensi Archiepisco∣po, sicut erat in Literis Domini Papae expressum; ut convocatis Rege et omni∣bus Angliae Praelatis, responsum eorum super negotio, pro quo idem Otto missus fuerat, Domina Papae transmittere non omittat. Magistro igitur Ottone Angliam a tergo salutante, Stephanus Cantuariensis Archiepis∣copus, vocatis ad Concilium cunctis apud Westmonasterium, post Pascha, quos negoti∣um tangebat, recitari fecit Literas supradictas, de beneficiis Romanae Ecclesiae confe∣rendis, coram Rege & Praelatis Angliae, qui ad ejus vocationem plene convenerant. Sed illis auditis, ac diligenter intellectis, singuli singulos ad visum monebant super concupiscentia Romanorum; qui illud morale non intelligunt, videlicet,

Quod virtus reddit, non copia, sufficientem; Et non paupertas, sed mentis hiatus egentem.

Tunc Rex, convocatis seorsum Praelatis & quibusdam Magnatibus, hoc Archi∣episcopo dedit responsum: Ista quae suadet nobis Dominus Papa, universam Christianitatis latitudinem respiciunt: et quia nos quasi in extre∣mis orbis constituti sumus partibus, cum viderimus qualiter caetera Regna erga tales se habuerint exactiones, Dominus Papa, cum ab aliis Regnis habuerimus exemplum in obsequiis, nos inveniet promptiores. Et his dictis, concessa est omnibus licentia recedendi.

This was the issue of this Papal design, which miscarried both in England and elsewhere.

King Henry to prevent the Usurpations of the Archbishops and Bishops of Ireland upon the rights of his Crown, in conferring Prebendaries belonging to the King, issued this Inhibition to them.
