NUper ad audientiam nostram pervenit, electio Cantuariensis Ecclesiae, de quo∣dam Monacho Waltero nomine. Et postquam audivimus quae pro se idem Monachus, & pro sua electione proposuit, auditis etiam objectionibus & exceptioni∣bus Episcoporum Angliae, tam contra electionem praefatam, quam in personam electi, per Venerabiles fratres nostros Coventrensem & Roffensem Episcopos, & dilectum fi∣lium Archidiaconum Bedefordensem, in audient••a nostra propositis, examinationem circa electi praenominati personam, Venerabilibus fratribus nostris Domino Albanen∣si, Domino Thomae de Sancta Sabina, & Magistro ••. Cardinalibus, commisimus faci∣endam. Cumque electus coram illis constitutus, requisitus esset de descensu Domi∣ni ad inferos, utrum in carne, vel sine carne descenderit? male respondit. Item, de confectione corporis Christi in altare? male respondit. Item requisitus, de Rachele qualiter plorabat filios suos, cum primo esset mortua? male respondit. Item re∣quisitus, de sententia excommunicationis contra juris ordinem lata? male respondit. Item requisitus, de matrimonio si alter contrahentium infidelis decesserit? male re∣spondit. Super his omnibus articulis diligenter examinatus est a Cardinalibus, quem non solum dicimus minus bene respondisse, sed pessime. Cum igitur, Nobilis sit Ecclesia Cantuariensis et nobilem habuisset Praelatum, virum discretum, modestum, et de gremio Romanae Ecclesiae assumptum: et iste modo electus, quem non solum pronunciamus indignum, imo si de rigore juris procederemus, aliud dicere cogeremur, ita insuffici∣ens est, quod ad tantum honorem non debet assumi, electionem de ipsa fa••tam omnino cassamus, Provisionem nobis dictae Ecclesiae reservan∣tes. Here he gives Judgement for himself in the cloze of his Bull, though against the elect Archbishop in the premises; robbing both the King and Monks of their Rights and Priviledges.
