SANCTISSIMO Patri ac Spirituali Domino suo H. Dei* 1.1 gratia summo Pontifici, Devotus filius ejus H. sua post Deum gratia Rex Angliae, &c. recommendationem, et devota osculape∣dum. Incipiens respirare una cum regno nostro Majestatis ves∣trae, nostrae, et sacrosanctae Romanae Ecclesiae Patrimonio post tot An∣gustias et pressuras, quae Clarae Memoriae Patrem meum et me postmodum invenerunt; et ereptus, per Dei gratiam, et vestrae paternitatis sollicitudinem, ab ipso laqueo venantium vitam me∣am, cum tam aetas mea, quam status et tranquillitas regni nostri in teneritate concordent, nec ut ita dicam, sunt in aetate perfecti, sub tegmine Alarum vestrarum inenarrabili mihi clementia assistenti, de die in diem, gratia Dei et vestri gratia, recipio incrementum: Et ne tenellam mei plantationem manus inimica avellet, tanto con∣fidentius, ea quae circa haec pertimesco, vestrae significo Sanctitati, quanto specialius subditus vester et creatura existo. Noveritis igitur Pater sancte, quod nuper cum sicut puerilis aetatis ut tales de facili infirmentur, essem, prout Deo placuit, infirmitate oppressus, Robertus qui se gerit pro Elyensi electo, non oblitus antiquam suae mentis et fellitam maliciam, quam contra Patrem meum, et me, ac dominationem vestram, ut dicam verius, exercuit manifeste, ex∣communicatis vestris et meis persecutoribus adhaerendo, statim quos∣cunque potuit contra me excitans cucurrit in Franciam, ibi una cum sequacibus suis me mortuum praedicando, unde multi contra me superbiae cornua et nocendi audaciam assumpserunt: Dei quidem et vestri gratia restitutus sum sanitati. Haec tamen sanctitati vestrae significo, supplicando, ne me permittatis redire ad Leonis fauces, nec reincidere inter malleum et incudem. Certum est enim quod Civitas Elyensis est optima munitio Reg∣ni nostri; Et quod dictus R. ibi exstitit praeintrusus, ut sicut res se ha∣buit, reciperetur ibi Dominus Lodovicus. Dignemini igitur Pater Sancte, mihi et Regno vestro misericorditer praecavere, ne talis un∣quam occupet talem locum, praesertim cum et infideli juxta verbum E∣vangelicum, id quod videtur habere auferri debeat; et Majestas vestra multo competentius possit Ecclesiae illi de Pastore idoneo providere. Valea: in Domino sanctitas vestra.
