Afterward, the Emperor prepared himself to the journey against the Saracens, and recovery of Jerusalem, but was stayed by sickness, all other things being in a readiness. Who, after he had recovered himself, proceeded in his journey: and when he came to the straights of Peloponnesus, ⟨p. 221⟩and Creta. His disease grew upon him again, and suddenly he fell sick: whereof the Pope hearing, thundered against him excommunications, and curses, laying most foul, & false crimes to his charge. In so much, that the Emperor was fain to purge himself by his letters, unto the Christian Princes: especially, of Germany, and the Nobles of the Empire, his Ambassadors not being suffered to approach the P. presence.
