§. 85. This Pope and Otho the 3d. agreed to settle the Election of the Emperor, as now it is on the 7. Electors. The cause of great Confusions,1 and Calamities was, that the Emperors did not dwell at Rome; and so left Popes then to fight, strive, and sin, that else would have lived submissively under them.
