to their father the sheep to their soueraigne pastor the mēbers to their head the faithful to the stone and foundation of the faith wherein al the edificy building of the Christian church is erected bring the people to the holy Church of Rome and to the glorious Princes of the earth S. Peter S. Paul which taught the law of God throughout all the world as also the faith whose dignity and authority is as yet extant and in force in their vnworthy successor Call therfore the assembly vnto these sacred Indulgences that they may receiue the salutary fruits thereof in this Citie of Rome assemble the people sanctifie the Church instruct the sheep committed to your charge because we are but strangers and pilgrims here in this life hauing no permanent place but seeke for that which is to come And because the dayes of this our troublesome and miserable pilgrimage are but short and for that we know not when the master of the family our espouse Iesus Christ will come warne them that for this cause they will be watchfull beare in their hands burning lampes filled with the oyle of loue and charity and that they make hast to enter into this rest for if euer they had cause it is now that for the loue of Iesus Christ they should abandon and leaue off al wrath riots debates contentions and inueterated enmities it is now time that the seruants ought to haue pity vpon their conseruators to the end that our most mercifull God may freely forgiue them all their sinnes it is at this time that we must specially purge and clense our selues of all the impurities of the flesh to the end that the Temple of God may be pure and cleane and that euery man may haue his earthly vessell laden with honour and sanctification so God may dwell within their bodies To conclude we must wholy exterminate and abandon all theftes robberies homicides adulteries and all other sinnes to the end that the wrath of God may be appeased and that those that attribute vnto themselues the name of Christians may by him be accounted and holden for true Christians imitators of Iesus Christ and folowers of good workes Teach them then how they ought with a contrite heart and humble spirit to prepare themselues by continuall praiers fastings and other workes of mercy to merite and obtaine these salutary indulgences and that those that are indued with the riches of this world should open their hearts and by that meanes relieuing the necessity of their poore brethren and that before all other things they extend their mercifull charity vnto such pilgrims as shall trauell to Rome renewing with spirituall ioy the holy hospitality agreeable and pleasing vnto God which by the most auncient Christians in times past euen in the middle of all stormes tempests and persecutions hath with great diligence bene obserued kept aduertise them also that they pray for all kings and Christian princes that we may liue in peace and tranquillity and that peace may perpetually be kept and obserued To cōclude teach them with what modesty with what deuotiō with what brotherly loue they are to make thēselues knowne when as they shall once haue enterprised the holy viage to the end that in all places they may yeeld the sweet sauour of Iesus Christ Shew your selues also my reuerēd brethren and all the Clergie to be the example of all good works and the formality of the troupe to the end that all others may be conserued as it were by the salt of your vertues religion and abhorre all filthines of sinne that in the end all we with full consent and agreement in one spirit of Christian charity with all holines and righteousnes may serue God We also exhort and desire in the name of God our most deare sonnes in Iesus Christ the Emperour kings all Catholike Princes that seeing they haue receiued diuers and most great benefits of him by whom all Kings do raigne with so much the more ardency as reason requireth they should be stirred vp with a great and good zeale to procure the glory of God and before al things that they comfort and ayd the carefull vigilancy of our brethren the Bishops and other superiour Prelates charging their Magistrates and Officers to further assist them to the end that the vnbridled liberty of the wicked may be restrained and the intentions of honest men by their royall ayd and fauour relieued sustained and specially that they vse their beneuolence and charity towards pilgrimes giuing order that they may safely passe along the way and by no meanes be impeached by the wicked and peruerse generation that being louingly receiued into the publike hospitals and by that meanes comforted and relieued with all things necessary for their viages they may ioyfully without interruption pursue and end their iourney taken in hand so returne into their owne countreis for by these offerings kings and Princes shall please God to the end they may liue long and in all happines vpon the earth and that at the last they may be receyued into the eternall tabernacles by the same poore and miserable people to whome they shall haue exercised their charities which are those in whose bodies Iesus Christ is nourished and fedde And to the ende that this our present Bull may with more ease fall into the hands of all the faithful wheresoeuer they be our pleasure is that to the copies hereof being imprinted signed with the hand of a publike notary and sealed with the seale of some man of Ecclesiasticall authoritie the like credite shall be giuen as vnto these being the originall Let no man therefore be so foolish-hardy to infringe or gaine-say this our Bull of Indiction promulgation confession impartition exhortation prayer and will and if any man be so bolde to attempt it let him knowe that hee shall incurre the indignation of God and of his most blessed Apostles S.
