vnto them selues / sechinge and goynge about to get royall proude tytles offeryng forth their feete to be kyssed / that no busines shulde be brought to an ende without the pope whiche dyd threaten vengeance and punysshement vpon his ennemies And so the deuyll being free and voyde from all thoughte care / neded no lenger to walke aboute as a rampynge lyon / of whom Peter speketh for he knewe wel ynough that saying of the gospel No man can serue two lordes maisters and also that sayinge of Paule No mā that warreth on goddes parte / doth entangle hym selfe with worldely maters or busynesses And the olde Sathan was excedyngly gladde garnysshynge and preparyng his bayte more gayly and castyng it forth agayne before the new god to be deuoured swalowed in of him and his deceipt and gyle was so contriued as I haue made mention a lytle here before In the yere of our lorde seuen hundred .li. whan there reigned kynges in Fraunce by title name only the parlyamēt as it is also euen to this day determynyng al the causes of the realme the pope dyd somewhat make the heed of Fraunce to bowe downwarde / at whiche tyme ther reigned kȳg Hilderike of noble bloude of the auncient famylye and stocke of Merouenge But Pypyne the graund father of great Charles otherwyse called Charlemayne was the gouernour and ruler of the realme in whos roume after his deceasse succeded his sonne Charles whiche also was a gouerner orderer of the realme no thynge lesse than Hylderyke as the which was sprongen of royall ꝓgeny the kyng of Fraunce I can not tell with what faythe and trustines Charles was ouer seer and ruler of the realme but this is plaine and vndoubted he had the pope of Rome fauouryng leaninge to him In the meane season dyed Charles leuyng behynde hym thre sonnes Charlemayne Pypyne and Grypho Charlemayne had opened showed his mynde to Pypyne / that he purposed to entre in to religiō and was in dede made a monke / so by the reason therof occasyon was opened to Pypyne of inuadyng the realme vnder the cloke and pretence of administratour and gouernour Euen yet Hilderike yet beinge a lyue Pypyne thrustynge after the regal dignitie dyd ioyne him selfe to the pope and the pope agayn ioyned hym selfe to Pypyne moued bothe of them with theyr owne pryuate and singuler profyte Pypyne therfore consydre here marke wel in the meane season the gyle and craft of the olde serpent did sēde ouer to Rome one Burcard the bysshop of Herbipolis / with a chaplayn also of his owne called Fobrardꝰ vnto the pope zacarie to haue his answeres and counsayle concernyng suche maner demaūdes interogations The counsayles of the pope agaīst Hilderike whether of the two were more worthy to be kynge he that dyd beare all the burthayne charge of the realme or elles he whiche beinge free from all cares busynesses of the realme was kynge and gouernour onely by name vnto which thinges zacharie by the instructiō of the deuyll made answere and gaue sentence that it was more ꝓfytable and behouefull that he shulde be named kynge whiche by his dylygent care dyd ordre the matiers and busynesses of the realme whiche toke vpon hym all the labours paynes which is the very office of a kyng than the other whiche was an ydle kynge onely by name whiche sentence the pope had lerned of his owne lawe in the .xxii. cause and the .v. questiō Si quis conuictus c. whan Pipine the minister had ꝑceyued and founde so great fauour and sawe so great a wyndowe opened and so great an occasyon gyuen to hym self for to inuade the realme he cōceyued in his mynd a purpose to wynne by force the regall maiestie whiche enterprises were deceyptes and gyles agaynste the naturall and laufull lorde of Pipine and kynge that is to wete Hilderike For he euē so as it is seen now a days was gouernour of the realme by a custome fet and broughte agayne from the moste auncient kynges descending of Meroue Suche maner power had the pope neyther graunted to hym by Christ whiche wold no deuide the patrimony betwene the .ij. brethern neyther yet by any other man I meane that he might gyue a disagreinge sentence and iudgement for the seruant against the lorde mysdemȳg no suche maner thīg but the olde serpēt had his plays and pastymes they came ende as he wolde haue them And so as we haue sayde Pipine clened to the pope and the pope also to Pypyne / sechynge defence and mayntenaunce of his owne power / as lyke alwayes reioyseth and is glad of lyke Prouerbes and there is no potte but it fyndethe a mete couer but there was neither example / nor lawe for it / that the pope shuld make kynges wherfore he dyd turne hym selfe to other subtylties and craftes / he purchased and gatte to hym selfe and Pipine the amite and frend shyp of many of the princes of Germanye and lyke wyse of the people of Fraunce / that they shulde cōsent therunto and so was the barlay brothe as we say brued that the Pope myghte take the swerde of his power / aduaūsing Pipine vnto the regall dignitie / according to the tradition of the holy lawes in the lxxx.viij dist Ep̄us c. Good lorde after that the true and good and the olde kynge Hilderike had vnderstandyng and knowlege herof what shuld he do for al thynges both whiche were to be done which were to be lefte vndone / were in the handes powere of Pipine / as orderer and gouernour of the realme / whā the very good king dyd monyshe Pipine his mynyster and put hym in remembrāce of his ꝓmesse that he had made and of the othe that he had takē then brast forthe the holy father pope Stephen whiche succeded zacharie and dyd assoyle Pipine and dispense with hym for al the othes whiche he had made The power of the pope more then hethenisshe and the faythe / whiche he had gyuen and promysed to the olde kynge Hilderike and not onely he dyd this to Pypyne but also he dyd the same to all other princes whiche dyd cōsent vnto the makyng of Pypyne kynge and the verye good kynge Hilderike The pope a newe god they dyd thrust into a house of relygyon Therfore lyke wyse as Christe did refuse and flee from the kyngdomes of the worlde Iohā vi and the apostles dyd despyse and sette at nought the honour of the worlde and the olde holy bysshops dyd fyghte with the holy scrypture wyllyngly and gladly sufferyng dethe for the trouthes sake So at this tyme the bysshops of rome with open face did boldly breake in to all the worlde sechinge the highest honours and the ryches and power of the worlde yea vsurping also the heuenly power agaynst all the cyuile lawes made by themperours agaynst all naturall and also agaȳst all diuine lawes in that
A worke entytled of the olde god the newe of the olde faythe the newe of the olde doctryne and the newe / or orygynall begynnynge of Idolatrye REade most gentel reader for many diuers causes this moost goodly boke excellent and notable in doctrine lernynge that thou mayst knowe wherūto thou oughtest to torne the / what to beholde what to beleue in this so greate dyssencion of all chrystendome
