1Carolus Magnus the Emperor did not a little help to bring this matter to pass. For he did not only command by public edicts, that the decree of the romish bishop (among the which Gregory's service hath not the least nor the lasts place) should be observed and kept through ⟨p. 142⟩out all the Empire of Rome, but he himself also was a most diligent setter forth of the same. For he ran about from place to place through out all the provinces of the Empire, & compelled all the priests, whether they would or not, to receive the service which Pope Gregory appointed, yea and that not only with threatening & menacing words, but also with imprisonment. Joan. Nauclerus Guilielmus Durandus.2
