About the same time and year when king Henry began his reign, Pope Paschalis entered his papacy, succeeding after Urbanus: about the year of the Lord 1100▪ nothing swerving from the steps of Hildebrand his superior. This Paschalis, being elected by the Cardinals, after that the people had cried thrice,1 S. Peter hath chosen good Raynerus: He than putting on a purple vesture, & atice upon his head,2 was brought upon a white palfrey into Lateran: where a sceptre was given him, and a girdle put about him (having vii. keys, with vii. scales hanging there upon) for a recognisance or token, of his vii. fold power, according to the vii. fold grace of the holy Ghost: of binding, loosing, shutting, opening, sealing, resigning, & judging, &c. After this Paschalis was elected Pope: Henricus 4. the foresaid Emperor (of courage most valiant, if the time had served thereto) thought to come up to Italic to salute the new Pope. But understanding the Popes mind bent against him, he changed his purpose. In the mean time, Paschalis to show himself inferior to Hildebrand in no point: began first to depose all such Abbots & bishops whom the Emperor had set up. Also banished Albertus, Theodoricus, and Maginulphus striving the same time for the papacy. I spake before of Guibert, whom Henricus the Emperor had made Pope against Hildebrand. Against this Guibert Paschalis made out an army: who being put to flight, not long after departed.
About the same time and yeare when king Henry began his raigne, Pope Paschalis entered his papacie, succeding after Urbanus: about the yeare of the Lorde 1100▪ nothing swaruing from the steps of Hildebrand his superiour. This Paschalis, being elected by the Cardinals, after that the people had cried thrise,1 S. Peter hath chosen good Raynerus: He than putting on a purple vesture, & atice vpon his head,2 was brought vpon a white palsray into Laterane: where a scepter was geuen him, and a girdle put about him (hauing vii. keyes, with vii. scales hanging there vpon) for a recognisance or token, of his vii. fold power, according to the vii. folde grace of the holy Ghost: of binding, loosing, shutting, opening, sealing, resigning, & iudging, &c. After this Paschalis was elected Pope: Henricus 4. the foresaid Emperour (of courage most valiant, if the time had serued thereto) thought to come vp to Italic to salute the newe Pope. But vnderstanding the Popes minde bent against him, he chaunged his purpose. In the meane time, Paschalis to shew himselfe inferior to Hildebrand in no poynt: began first to depose all such Abbates & byshops whome the Emperour had set vp. Also banished Albertus, Theodoricus, and Maginulphus striuing the same time for the papacie. I spake before of Guibert, whō Henricus the Emperour had made Pope against Hildebrād. Against this Guibert Paschalis made out an armie: who being put to flight, not long after departed.
