EOdem quoque anno, nesciebatur ad quid circa festum Apostolorum Petri & Pauli, Dominus Otto Sancti Nicholai in carcere Tulliano Diaconus Cardinalis, per mandatum Regis venit Legatus in Angliam, nescientibus Regni Magnatibus. Unde plures adversus Regem magnam conceperunt indignationem, di∣centes: Omnia Rex pervertit, jura, fidem, promissa in omnibus transgreditur. Nunc enim Matrimonio se sine suorum amicorum & hominum naturalium consilio, alienigenae copulavit: nunc Legatum, Regni totius immutatorem, clam vocavit: nunc sua dat, nunc data cupit revocare. Sic, sicque de die in diem, juxta dictum Evangelicum, in se divisum & dissipatum Regnum, est enormiter desolatum. Dictum est autem, quod Archiepiscopus Cantuariensis Aedmundus Regem talia facientem increpavit, praecipue de vocatione Legati; sciens inde in suae dignitatis prae∣judicium, magnam Regno imminere jacturam. Sed Rex, spret••¦tam suo quam aliorum suorum consilio, quod concepit animo nulla∣tenus voluit propositum revocare. Venit igitur in magno apparatu Legatus praenominatus, & potentia magna. Et occurrerunt ei Episcopi & Clerici famosi usque ad littus; & aliqui in naviculis navigando, obviarunt ei, applaudentes & mu∣nera impreciabilia offerrentes. Imo etiam Parisiis in obviam ei, obtulerunt telas escarleti & vasa preciosa, nuncii diversorum Episcoporum. In quo facto nimis a multis meruerunt reprehendi, tum pro dono & pro dandi modo; quia in panno & ejus colore, videbatur legationis officium & adventum acceptari. Adveniens autem munera oblata omnia non accepit, sed aliqua, sed quae non recepit, jussit sibi reser∣vari. Redditus autem vacantes, suis quos secum adduxit, dignis & indignis largiter distribuit. Rex autem ei usque ad confinium maris occurrit, & inclinato ad genua ejus capite usque ad interiora Regni deduxit officiose. Et adventantes Episcopi, cum Abbatibus & aliis Ecclesiarum Praelatis, eum cum omni honore & reverentia, cum processionibus & campanarum classico, & preciosis muneribus, ut decuit, & plus quam decuit, receperunt. With such cost, pomp, and servile obsequiousnesse did they entertain their greatest pest and grievance.
