After the bishopric of Rome had been long void, thorough the dissension of the cardinals, for the space of two years, and three months. At the length Celestinus was chosen Successor to Pope Nicholas the fourth. Which Celestinus, in his first Consistory, began to reform the clergy of Rome,1 thinking to make the same an example to all other Churches. Whereby, he procured to himself such hatred of the Clergy-men, that this Boniface being called Benedictus, speaking through a Reed, by his chamber wall in the night season, admonished him (as it had been a voice from heaven) that he should give over his Papacy, as a burden greater then he could beare.
