but that ought not to be no prejudice to my power. 68. For if Peter, and I in Peter, if we say, have power to bind and louse in heaven, how much more then is it to be thought, that we have power in earth to louse and to take away Empires, Kingdoms, Dukedoms, and what else so ever mortal men may have, and to give them where we will? 69. And if we have authority over Angels, which be governors over Princes, what then may we do upon ⟨p. 22⟩their inferiors and servants? 70. And for that you shall not marvel that I say; Angels be subject unto us, you shall hear what my blessed Clerk Antonius writeth of the matter, saying, that our power, of Peter and me, is greater than the Angels in four things. 1. In jurisdiction. 2. In administration of Sacraments. 3. In knowledge. 4. and reward. 71. And again in bulla Clemen tis, do I not their command in my Bull, the Angels of Paradise to absolve the soul of man out of Purgatory, and to bring it into the glory of Paradise. 72.

And though that this Henricus was an Emperor of most stout courage, who stood 62 times in open field against his enemies. 78. Yet did not I Gregorius, coram nobis, and made him stand at my gate, three days and three nights bare-footed, and bare-legged, with his wife and child, in the deep of winter, both in frost and snow, entreating for his absolution, and after excommunicated him again, so that he was twice excommunicated in my days? 79. And did not I Paschalis after Gregory set up the son of the said Henricus ⟨p. 23⟩against his father, in war to possess the Empire, and to put down his father, and so he did. 80.
