§ 115. Yet was the Pope deceived of his hopes: For this Henry also was of the Henrician Heresy, and having by the Pope's order kept his Fathers Corps five years unburied, because Excommunicate, he came with an Army after to Rome to be crowned Emperor, and getting into the City, (the Pope's ⟨p. 374⟩Historians say by perfidiousness, and others lay the perfidiousness on the Pope) he took the Pope and Cardinals (that were for him) Prisoners, for denying him to confirm the Bishops which the Emperor had promoted; and he kept him till he made him confirm them, and grant him Investitures under his hand and seal, and promise: But when the Emperor was gone, the Pope took his promise to be null, and brake it, (he that can dispense with others, may dispense with himself.)

§ 116. Binnius, after many such others, doth not only justify the Pope's deposing of the Emperor; but shamelessly saith, that even the Novatores Haeretici, (as he calleth the Loyal and Orthodox) will not deny but that he was justly deposed, because (saith he) in a Letter to Hildebrand, he said himself he might justly be deposed if he fell from the Faith; and he was deposed for Heresy, viz. for defending Priests Marriage, selling Benefices, contemning the Popes Excommunication, and saying that he ought not to regard it.
