Notwithstanding,1 Julius, being then Bishop of Rome, for that he was unable to travail, because of his age, sent thither two Priests. Vitus, and Vincentius, to supply his room. Thus he did, not of pride, the better by his absence to maintain a state, but only for that he was forced of necessity so to do. For ⟨p. 666⟩if he had been able to travail so far,2 he had been forced to go thither him self. Therefore Pope Agatho afterward thus excused his Absence unto the Emperoure: Christianissimi Domini Filij, secundum Pijssimam Jussionem Mansuetudinis vestrae, 3pro Obedientia, quam debuimus, praesentes confamulos nostros misimus: My most Christian Lords, and Children, according to the most godly Commandment of your Majesties, and according to the Obedience, that we owe of duty, we have sent these present our Fellow Servants.
