Boniface for his aid, and counsel: who immediately sendeth down his precept to the king, that he should hereafter cease to molest the Scots, for that they were a people exempt,2 and properly pertaining unto his Chapel: and therefore it could not otherwise be, but that the City of Jerusalem must needs defend her own Citizens: and as the ⟨p. 236⟩mount Zion maintain such as trust in the Lord.
