Ye find fault with Leo the third for making an Emperor in the West. I dare say it grieveth you.* For if there had been none in the West, the Turk might have ben our Emperor ere this, and to his Barbarous and wicked tyranny might have subdued this part of the world, specially Germany, as he hath subdued Greece, Asia, Egypt, Syria, and all the East Church. Against which mischief the Vicar of Christ by his masters merciful warning with the Princes of the West made provision▪ and at the length planted the Empire in this order, we see it now in.
