§ 176. The Pope having conquered the Emperor by Cursing, is past doubt now of Conquering Rome, (for such Men were Bishops by Conquest, and not by Consent.) To Tusculum he goeth, and now demandeth of the Romans, that they abrogate the Office of the Consuls: But finding this too hard a task to be done at once, he maketh a bargain with them, that none should by the People be chosen Consuls, till they had taken an Oath of Fidelity to the Pope, in his own proposed words, and that they would never do any thing against his dignity. And so Alexander goeth the third time to Rome, and calls a Council; but quickly dyeth, when after twenty years contention, he thought he was new settled in peace, An. 1185.
