Reverendo & diligendo patri universally Papae Paschali. Henricus dei gratia Rex Anglorum, salutem. Amor quem plurimum erga vos habeo, & benignitas quae multum vestros actus exornat. &c. In English. 1To the reverend and well beloved father, universal Pope Paschalis, Henry by the grace of God, king of England, greeting. The great love which I bear to you, and the no less gentleness in you, which not a little beautifieth your doings, ministereth to me boldness to write. And where as I thought to have retained still this Gerardus with me, and to have craved your pall for him by letters: yet, notwithstanding, when his desire could not otherwise be satisfied, but would needs present himself before your presence, by his own hart to crave of you the same, I have sent him up unto you. Desiring your benign fatherhood in this behalf, that he obtaining the pall at your hands, may be sent home again to me. And thus requiring the assistance of your prayers, I pray the Lord long to conserve your Apostleship.
