But his Implacable Holiness who had no Grace to forgive commanded him to be hanged up before his Mother But the Justices denying to put this second Pennance in Execution and telling him obscurely that his Holiness was destitute both of Mercy and Justice Gregory caused his right Foot to be chopp'd off whereby within five days he dyed to the great grief and sorrow of his poor old Mother On these and many such charitable Deeds of this Hildebrand an old English Rhymer Wrote this Rhime Gregory heads by the Foot And Hildebrand hangs by the Heel He 's a damnable Wit That came from the Pit And Flies in a Fire to the De'l The Emperor to the Church went To our Lady thinking to Pray But he that brunt's God And was not that odd With Rome's Rock chas'd him away c. This is one of the great Pillars of Popery whereon the Church of Rome and Doctrine of the Clergy's single Life lean But the unhappy Wretch being at last Beat and Banished by the Emperor dyed in great horror at Salerne Anno 1086. The next opposer of Gods Ordinance was Calixtus the Second who violently took Possession of the Holy Chair whilst Gregory the Eighth was yet alive whom the Emperor had chosen Pope and whom this Calixtus caught at Sturium and caused to Ride to Rome on a Camel with his Face towards the Tail his Head to be shaven and sent to a Monastry This Pope Calixtus held a General Council in France wherein he Ordain'd That all Clargy-men who would not put away their Wives should be deposed from their Benifices and deprived of the Holy Communion whereupon an English-man wrote this Epigram O bone Calixte nunc omnis Clerus odit te Quondam Presbyteri poterant uxoribus uti Hoc Destruxisti postquam tu Papa fuisti Ergo tuum merito nomen habent odio This Pope died Anno 1125. and left his Quarrel against the Clargy to his Successor Honorius the Second who sent a Riotous Cardinal one Iohn Cremensis into England Anno 1125. who held a Synod in London and Condemned all the Married Clargy of Adultery yet the Holy Lord Legat himself was that Night taken in the very Act of Adultery and yet Pope Honorius wrote on his behalf to the Clargy of England thus We Desire Charge and Command you to receive this JOHN as the Vicar of Saint PETER with Reverence hear him with Humility and at his Commandment be Assistant at his Synods c. There is a certain Statute made in this Synod held at London by this Iohn the Holy Vicar of Saint Peter to this effect We by our Apostolical Authority Command that Priests Deacons Sub Deacons Cannonists shall not come in Company with their Wives Concubines or any other Women except their Mother Sister or Aunt or such Women as may altogether give no Suspition and who shall break this shall forfeit his Orders We also Command that no Marriage shall be made between Kindred or Affinity to the Seventh Degree This Pope Honorius died Anno 1130. and his Successors being busied in Crowning Cursing Excommunicating and Deposing Emperors and Kings of their Empires Kingdoms and Estates in raising Armies denouncing War and shedding Christian Blood c. several of the Clargy had received the Unlawful Sacrament of Matrimony and liv'd quietly with their Wives and Children the Pope only now and then giving them an Item of their Obstinacy and Error till Pope Innocentius the Third came to the Popedom Anno 1198.

Conditions But Clement void of all Clemency perswading himself that this was long of the Emperor blamed him for all Cursed him even at the Consecration of the Sacrament Deposed him from the Empire Pronouncing him an Heretick Schismatick and Rebellious Son who kick'd at his Holy Mother the Church of Rome and commanded the Electoral Princes to ●huse another Emperor in his stead But the Bishop of Mentz having Written a Letter in Vindication of the Emperor intreating his Holiness to consider his Innocence and that there was a righteous Iudg in Heaven who would not suffer that to be pluck'd up which he himself had planted c. was Deposed from his Bishoprick And the rest of the Princes partly being afraid of the Pope's Curse Excommunication and Deposition and partly being Brib'd by Iohn King of Bohemia chose his Son Charles King of the Romans the Pope confirming the Election in open Consistory and for further Approbation caused privately to Poison the Emperor Who being daunted with Cursing Hell and Damnation lay Neutral and did not meddle with the Empire nor any publick Affairs But who is able saith Marius to express the cruel War and Blood-shed that followed in the Empire by means of this mischief wrought by Clement For King Edward the Third of England by the Assistance of his Son the black Prince Slew 20000 French-men with John King of Bohemia the Father of the Emperor Charles with many more Princes and Nobles Now Charles whom the Pope by Cursing and Excommunicating had made Emperour to secure the Empi●● to his Son did so corrupt the Electoral Princes with B●●es and fair Promises that at last he was forced to m●●gage to them the common Revenues of the Empire A●d being once in Possession they would secure nothing 〈◊〉 him unless he would bind himself both by Oath and ●● that the Pledges which they had should never be redeemed And thus his Holiness the Pope the Father of the Mother Church hath by Degrees so weakned the Wall of Christendom that if it had not been for an Invisible Wall of Fire the great Turk had before this time fixed his Standard at Vienna and Sh in St. Peter's Chair Now this Pope for his greater advantage caused the Iubele to be Celebrated at Rome Anno 1350. And Premonstratensis affirmeth that there were Five Thousand Strangers coming in and going out at the Gates of Rome every day the whole year over He made at several times 12 Cardinals whereof some were Monks others his own young Nephews and Kinsmen He gave License to the Bishop of Bamberge to absolve all those Spiritual Traitors that had not rebelled against the Emperor Lewis but on Condition first That they should Swear Fealty to him as to the Vicar of Christ Secondly That they should believe that the Emperor had no power to Make or Marr the Pope And Thirdly That they should acknowledg none to be Emperor but whom the Pope had confirmed This Pope saith Morius took upon him so Prodigally in his Popedom that he gave to his Cardinals in Rome Bishopricks and Benefices which were then void in England wherewith the King was offended and undid all the Provisions of the Pope within his Realm commanding upon Pain of Imprisonment and Death That no man should be so bold as to bring in any such Provisions within his Dominions any more and under the same punishment charged two Cardinals forthwith to avoid his Realm Anno 1343.

WHosoever purposeth for Travel sake to come to Rome may choose that day wherein he setteth forward a Confessor or Confessors or else in his Iourney by the way or in any other place Vnto the which Confessors or Ghostly Fathers we give full power to give Absolution in all cases that concern the Popes own Prerogative in as ample manner as if our own Person were present Item We grant that if any being Confessed die by the way that he shall be freed and discharged from all his Sins And furthermore We Command the Angels of Paradise that his Soul being fully delivered from Purgatory they receive him into Paradise c. In another Bull he wrote thus We will not that any man be tormented in himself with the pains of Hell And also we grant to all those that wear the Cross three or four Souls at their own pleasure whomsoever they will to deliver out of Purgatory c.
