Some told the Pope that the Emperor should not be so hastily Anathematized: To whom he answered, Did Christ except Kings when he said to Peter [Feed my Sheep? when he gave him the Power of binding and loosing, he excepted none from his power.]

The Emperor wrote Letters to many Christian Princes and States to acquaint them with the Papal Injuries; and the Pope wrote his accusations of the Emperor and his own Justification. The Empire was presently all in Division. One part was for the Emperor, and another for the Pope: Most of the Bishops of Germany obeyed the Emperor, and some were against him, as excommunicate. Some Councils were for him, and some against him. And, as Abbas Urspurgensis said, they did so often swear and forswear according as Power and Interest moved, one time for the Emperor, and another against him, that Perjury was become a common thing both with the Bishops and the Laity. He that will see the many treatises that Learned men then wrote for the power of Princes against the Papal tyranny and rebellion may find them in the Voluminous Collections of Michael Goldastus de Monarchia.
