EOdem tempore, Dominus Papa & tota Curia Romana, audiens tot tumultus in* 1.1Anglia fuisse subortos pro alienigenarum multitudine, quam Rex inconsulte vocaverat: et pro adventu Legati in Angliam, quem similiter in depau∣perationem suorum in Angliam attraxerat: multosque contra ipsum commoveri: sub magna eundem Legatum festinatione revocando, rigorem ejus temperavit, sic scribens ei.
GREGORIƲS, &c. dilecto filio Ottoni, Sancti Nicholai in ••••rcere Tulliano Diacono Cardinali, Apostolicae sedis Legato, salutem & Apostolicam benedictionem. Cum sic intellexerimus, quod nonnulli Clerici habentes plura beneficia sint in Regno Angliae, & contra eos, propter parentum potentiam, juxta generalis statuta Concilii, sine turbatione Regni & sanguinis effusione, procedi non possit: attendentes quod si peccatum non debeat pro scandalo vitando committi, bonum tamen quod agi debeat,
descriptionPage 493
prudenter interdum intermittitur, ut scandalum evitetur: discretioni tuae per Apo∣stolica scripta mandamus, quatenus si contra dictos Clericos sine scandalo procede∣re non poteris, subsedere procures. Et eisdem, vel aliis proximis, Dominus Papa timens ne quid sinistri ei accideret, vocavit eum. Sed Legatus malens adhuc in An∣glia remanere, & metere ubi non seminaverat, caute procuravit, ut scriptum Domi∣no Papae destinandum componeretur, & appenderentur sigilla Regis & fratris sui Co∣mitis Richardi, & omnium Episcoporum, in testimonium veritatis: scilicet, quod multum utilis esset mora sua in Anglia, tam Regi, quam Regno, et Ecclesiae Anglicanae. Et hujus tenoris scriptum Domino Papae transmissum, mentem suam pacificavit.
I find this supplication to the Pope for the Legates stay in England, thus entred in our Records, being procured by his own solicitation.
