In the time of Pascalis, li•ed Barnardus, of whom sprung the Barnardine Monkes.
The Emperor had no issue, his wife was Mathildas, daughter of King Henry the fi•st of England, which was Gods just Judgement for deposing his Father. Pascalis being dead, Pope Gelasius was chosen by the Cardinals, without the Emperor; and the Emperor made another Pope,1 Gregorius the 8. which made Pope Gelasius […] into France, and there dyed. The Cardinals choose Calixus the 2. Pope, without the Emperor; who before he came to his Seat in R•me, sent his Legate to excommunicate the Emperor, and drove Gregorius, the Emperors Pope, out of Rome. The Emperor fearing the vain thunderbolts of the Popes curse, perswad•d by his Princes and f•iends, resigned his •y•le, pertaining to the […] of the Pope, and the investiture of Bishops. This being set up in writing, in the Church of Lateran, in triumph of the Emperor thus subdued. Then the Pope made out, and took his fellow Pope Gregorius, set him on a Camel, his face backward, holding the tail for a bridle, brought him through the streets of Rome, and sho•• him, and thrust him into a Monastery. •ee established the Decree of the Papal Sea against the Emperor, and brought in the four Ember-fasts, called ember •aies. He ordained the order of Monks, called Praemonstratenses. It was […] by him to be judged adultery for any person to put away his Living or Bishoprick uring his life, according to Saint Paul; The wife is bound unto the husband as long as he liveth.
