He is denied At three daies end instancing admittance with greater importunacie It is answered That his Holinesse is not yet at leysure to attend his suit Henrie by patience making a vertue of necessity In that he could not be admitted into the City contenteth himself to abide in the Suburbs but not without many incommodious greeuances For the wether was sharpe and all places appeared hoary with frost At last after his incessant three-daies petitioning and deniall at the instance of Maud the Countesse of Adelaus Earle of Sauoie and the Abbot of Clunois he is admitted vnto presence Vpon the fourth day in signe of vnfained penitency he resigned his Crowne and imperiall Ensignes and maketh a protestation that hee were vnworthy to enioy the Title of an Emperor if he should againe commit the like offences against the Roman Sea as formerly he had done For all this this inexorable Prelat would neither pardon nor absolue him vnlesse he would put in good securitie that according vnto his Popish pleasure he would expiate the offence in a Councell and be forth comming at euerie day and place appointed there the Pope being Iudge to answer vnto all accusations without once plotting in his thoughts anie scruple of reuenge 2. Yea after his purgation and reconciliation either to retain or forsake his kingdom if the Pope thought it so fitting 3. Thirdlie that before the Examination of his Cause he should not presume to weare anie Kinglie habit neither haue borne before him anie Imperiall ensignes That hee should not meddle in state gouernment nor exact anie oth of allegiance vpon his vassalls Vpon promise of performance and future obedience the attonement is now at length confirmed aswell by Oth as Indenture and Henrie absolued Now obserue I beseech you the restlesse humours of attainted consciences The Court of shauelings deep polititians men of profound reaches and admirable well seen in the principles of Machiuell and carefull aswell to preuent future blowes as to oppose against present perils either reuoluing in their far reaching wits or suspecting in their seared consciences that Henrie beeing sure seated in a peaceable estate could not possibly disgest so vilanous an indignity nor the world allow of so base a tiranny fall againe to their old plots but a new-Counsell viz. how they might vtterly dispossesse Henrie of his Empire Rodulph Duke of Sweuia Henries brother in law is presented with a golden Crowne thus inscribed Petra dedit Petro Petrus diadema Rodulpho And withall the Bishops of Magunce and Colen are commanded that rebelling against Henrie they shold set it vpon Rodulphs head and assist him therin to the vtmost of their forces Was it for Loue or Honor may the world dispute that the Pope became thus bountifull of an other mans patrimony to bestow it vpon Rodulph Or doth any History make mention that Rodulph was a more kinde Son to the Church then Henrie Beleeue me the Pope did neither vpon any such respects it was far from his imagination But this was the windlace of all if Henrie must liue in peace Henrie must seek reuenge but if the Duke of Sweuia find him play on one side Romandiola shall be secured on the other side Let Rodulph or Henrie sinke or swim meane while res nostrae tutiores redduntur that is the Court of Rome may securely swagger If Henrie haue the better yet shall he be much the weaker if Henrie haue the worse then all the care is taken for Rodulph is infinitly beholding vnto vs. And be it as be may nether party being potent Princes shall haue cause to laugh at their bargain let time try the sequell and so it hapned O the blind folly of ambition For albeit that Rodulph was the Emperors sworne liege-man his brother in law by mariage indowed with the Dukedom of Sweuia after his decease and honored with many other fauours notwithstanding being seduced by the faire and false protestations of the Bishops and borne out by his own greatnesse and the succours of Saxonie he inuadeth the Empire and rebelliously to his vtmost power moueth war against his Soueraigne master Caesar by the admonishment of the Bishop of Argentine seeing the danger arising from all parts leuieth his people affronteth Rodolph and setteth all vpon the hazard of a battell The issue whereof was this That the Pope vpon mistrust of the worst commanded both parties to Peace and that Henrie should expect his sentence at the Synode which shortly hee would proclaime to be held in Germanie Which limitation when Henrie stomacked vpon protestation that hee would suffer no Assembly to bee holden in Germanie vnlesse Rodolph were first remooued The Pope rather then hee would disharten Rodolph by finall Peace renueth the Excommunication and sendeth foorth his Mandates full stuffed with hellish furie Henrie is nothing abashed but the third time giueth the battell at Elistrum of Misia and there ouerthroweth his enemy This came to passe in the yeere 1080. the Ides of October Rodolph being grieuously wounded and from the field conueied to Merseburg intreateth the Bishops and the Leaders of his people to compeere before him Where being assembled Rodolph feeling death seazing vpon him stretched forth his right hand and said My Lords this is the hand with which I plighted my faith to my Lord Henrie At your intreaties thus and thus many times hath it vnfortunately fought against him Returne yee and make good your first Othes to the King I am to depart to my fathers Rodolph being vanquished and Germanie by his death resonably well quieted Henrie neither forgetting Hildebrands iniuries neither hauing his spirits so peaceably affected but that hee could call to remembrance how the Pope had twise Excommunicated him how for three dayes space being a most suppliant Petitioner in a very cold season he could attaine no reconciliation As also that cunningly hee had assisted his enemie euen the competitor of his Kingdome proclaimeth a Synod of the Bishops of Italy Lombardy and Germanie to bee celebrated at Brixia a Citie of Norica Where being assembled and the Acts of Hildebrand examined with one consent they promulge this suffrage For that it is apparently knowne that Hildebrand was not Elected of God but most impudently by fraud and briberie made his owne way to the Papall dignitie And therein being seated hath subuerted all the Orders of the Church disquieted the whole Christian world intended the death both of body and soule to a most peaceable and Catholicke King defended a periurd Prince and amongst the peaceable sowed seedes of discord c. Wee here Congregated by the Grace of God and assisted by the Legats and letters of nineteene Bishops assembled against the foresaid Hildebrand at Mognuce the eight day of Pentecost doe canonically giue iudgement against the said Hildebrand That he is to bee deposed and expelled for vnaduisedly Preaching of Sacriledges and factions defending Periuries and Scandals Abclieuer of Dreames and diuinations a notorious Necromancer a man possessed

Diuersion His owne house is on fire how can hee then attend the quenching of his neighbours And albeit that hee outliued three successiue Bishops during their liues caried himself so modestly and benignly towards them that nothing was attempted by them against his Dignity yet hoped for greater contentments by the rising of Pius the second to the Papacie his auncient seruant and Minister Notwithstanding this his trusty friend being once seated without acquainting the Emperour made no scruple to accurse his kinsman Sigismund Archduke of Austria and to entangle Germanie with intestine diuisions As thus Sigismund after long controuersying and nothing preuailing being vnwilling that the people vnder his tuition should still stand exposed to the depraedations of the Romanists in a bickering of Horse-men chanced to take prisoner and imprisoned Nicholas Cusanus by the Pope sent into Tirol to ransack the Bishoprick of Brixia The Bishop censuring him at no lesse a crime then high treason committed against one of his creatures enioyneth him greeuous punishments from which his trustinesse could not be wooed to absolue him no not at the intercession of Caesar vntill Pluto himselfe came a messenger to release him from his papall obstinacie His owne Creatures report that neither the threats nor the intreaties of Princes or communalties could any whit terrifie him but in extreame and insatiable prowling for mony he was ready to accurse and prosecute with warre as many as any way offered to gainsay his intendments Theodorick Erbach Archbishop of Mogunce being dead Diether Erusburg was preferred to his place This man for that Annats and first fruites had beene abolished and condemned in the Councel of Basil refused to pay to Saint Peter for bestowing the Pall vpon him those twenty thousand sixe hundred and fifty duckets of the Rhene which his Holinesse by prescription adiudged to be due vnto him Pius was not a little moued at the refusall denieth him confirmation and bestowed the Incumbencie vpon Adolph of Nassau not for loue towards the
