Boniface before mentioned,1 permitted religious fathers to carry about nuns with them a preaching, & founded many monasteries, & canonized many Saints. Among other he founded the great monastery of Fulde in Germany of English monks, into the which no women might enter, but Libda & Thecla 2two English nuns. He deposed Childericus king of France by authority from Pope Zechariah, 3and Pipinus the betrayer of his Master was confirmed. From this Boniface proceeded that detestable doctrine that ⟨p. 88⟩although the Pope led with him innumerable souls into Hell,4 yet ought no man to rebuke him.
