The King, not quietly bearing such presumptuous boldness, commanded the Apostolic Legate unto ward. This injury so inflamed the Popes choler, that immediately he sent the Archbishop of Narbon to the King, to require him to set his Legate at liberty: otherwise to tell him, that for his wickedness, the right of his Kingdom was fallen to the Church of Rome. Thus Sabellicus, in favour of the Pope, thought it good somewhat to shadow the matter.
The Kinge, not quietly bearinge sutche presumptuous boldenesse, commaunded the Apostolique Legate vnto warde. This iniurie so inflamed the Popes choler, that immediately he sente the Archebishop of Narbon to the Kinge, to require him to set his Legate at libertie: otherwise to tel him, that for his wickednesse, the righte of his Kingedome was fallen to the Churche of Rome. Thus Sabellicus, in fauoure of the Pope, thought it good somewhat to shadowe the mater.
But others thereof have written thus: 1Bonifacius 8. mandat Regi, se esse Dominum in Spiritualibus, & temporalibus in universo Mundo: Utque Rex recognoscat Regnum Franciae à se. Contrarium enim sentire, & tenere, Haereticum esse: Bonifacius 8. sente unto the French King, and told him, that he was Lord both in Spiritual, and also in Temporal matters throughout the world: and therefore, that the King should hold his Kingdom at his hand. For otherwise to think, and hold, he said, it was Heresy: This is it, that in the name of the Pope is noted in your Gloss:2 Quicunque praeceptis nostris non obedierit, peccatum Idololatriae, & Paganitatis incurrit: Who so ever obeyeth not our commandments, falleth into the Sin of Idolatry,3 and Infidelity. Hereof Urspergensis writeth thus, Habes, Roma, quod sitisti: decanta Canticum: quia per malitiam, non per Religionem orbem vicisti: O Rome, thou haste now, that thou haste so long thirsted after. Now singe manly. For by thy malice, not by Religion, thou haste conquered the world.
