Germanus. 1Archb. and Patriarch of Constantinople, wrote unto Gregory the ninth, desiring him to study, & seek means of unity, and that he would not refuse to meet him in the midway, to debate of the matter, that unity might be recovered. But the Pope refused, and shortly after, sent forth his preaching Friars, to move all Christians to take the sign of the Cross, and to fight against the Grecians,2 even as it were against the Turks, and Saracens. In so much, that in the Isle of Cyprus, many good men, and martyrs, were slain for the same, as by letters of the said Germanus doeth appear: who wrote to the Pope, and Cardinals, to reform themselves: which was so taken of the Pope, that shortly after he prepared to send men of war, signed with the cross, to fight against the Grecians. Whereupon, the Archb. of Antioch, with the foresaid Germanus, solemnly excommunicated the Pope.3
