haue decreed that they may weare Euen so speake barbarouse lawes nowe a dayes thus they write Iussi ꝙ deberes venire wher they shulde say Iussi vt venires And he sayth here Decreuimus et cōcessimus we haue decreed we haue graūted as though these thīges were nat than in doyng but had ben done at some other tyme. ¶ Ipse vero beatus papa suꝑ coronā clericatꝰ quā gerit ad gloriā beatissimi Petri ipsa ex auro non est passus vn corona But y e blessed pope hīselfe dyd nat suffre to weare y e crowne of golde vpon the crowne of his clarkeshippe which he beareth to the glory honour of most blessed Peter O y e singulare excedyng folishenes of you O Constātine you said but euen now y t the crowne vpon y e popes heed did make for the honour of saīt Peter now you say y t it maketh nothīg at all for his honour seinge y e Siluester refuseth it And natwithstāding y t you do prayse his so doīg yet for all y t you do byd hī wyll hī to weare y e crowne of golde And y e thīge which hīselfe thīketh y t he ought nat to do y e same thīge you say that his successours ought to do I passe ouer here y t thou callest y e shauē crowne of his heed coronā which is wōt to be called rasura that thou callest the bisshop of Rome papā that is to say pope whiche was nat yet at that tyme begonnen to be so called ¶ Phrigiū vero condidissimo nitore splēdidū dn̄i resurrectionē designantes eius sacratisiimo vertici manibbus nr̄is imposuimꝰ et tenētes frenū equi pro reuerētia beati Petri apli dextratoris officiū illi exhibuimꝰ statuētes eodē phrigiooēs eius successores sigulariter vti in processionibꝰ ad imperu nostri imitationē And this coyfe which by y e brightnes of the most whyte colour represēteth y e resurrection of our lorde we haue put with our handes vpon his most holy heed holding y e bridell of his horse for y e reuerēce of blessed Peter the apostle we haue done to him y e office dutie of a fotemā decreīg ordaynīg y t al his successours shal weare y e same coyfe or cal in y e ꝓcessiōs to y e imitatiō folowīg of our ēpier Doth nat y e author fader of this fable seme nat through lacke of takyng hede vnware but euen of set purpose for the nonce to play y e false harlotte to gyue men occation on eueri syde to rebuke him He sayth here in this one the same place that by y e whyte coyfe is both the resurrection of our lorde represēted also that in y e same is the imitatiō coūterfaytīg of y e empier of Cesar which two thinges are most dyuerse dysagreīg y e one frō the other I take god to recorde I can nat fynde out or deuyse with what wordes or w t what greuousenesse or haynousnesse of wordes I mighte rebuke as it were woūde this most vngratiouse wretched knaue he doth so parbreke forth all wordes full of madnes He doth make Cōstātyne nat only in office lyke to Moyses Which by y e cōmaūdemēte of god dyd aparyll adourne the highest chefe preest Aaron but also he doth make hī expoūding declarīg secrete misteries which is a very herde thīg to be done euen of thē also whiche haue studied ben occupied lōge seasō in the holy scriptures Why dydest thou nat also make Cōstātine y e greattest the highest bisshoppe as many ēperours haue bē in y e olde tyme y t by so moch his ornamētes might the better more esely conueniētly be trāslated to the other high bisshop the pope But thou wast ignorāte and vnskylled in y e histories of antiquite I do therfore gyue thankes to god for this cause that he hathe nat suffred so wicked and so malytiouse a mynde to be in any man saue onely in the beyng a starke fole without lernyng which appereth also euidently by that which foloweth For he bryngeth in Moyses doyng y e offyce dutye of a foteman vnto Aaron sittyng on horse backe y t nat through the myddes of the chyldren of Israell but through y e myddes of y e Chananies of the Egiptians that is to saye through the cyte of infideles where was nat so moche the empier of the worlde as was the empier of deuylles of people worshyppynge deuilles or wycked spirites ¶ Vnde vt
