Then Thurstin (by the instigation of certain of his clerks at York) took his journey to Rome:1 who there making his complaint to Pope Paschalis, brought with him a letter from the Pope to the King: where among other words was contained as followeth: Audivimus electum Eboracensis Ecclesiae virum, sapientem & strenuum, fine judicio ab Eboracensi sequestratum ecclesia, quod nimirum divinae justitiae & S. Patrum institutionib aduersatur. Nos quidem neque Cant. ecclesiam minui, neque Eboracensem volumus praeiudicium pati, sed eam constitutionem quae a B. Gregorio Anglicae gentis Apostolo, inter easdem ecclesias constituta est, firmam censemus illibatamque seruari. Idem ergo electus (ut justitia exigit) ad suam ecclesiam omnibus modis revocetur. Si quid autem quaestionis inter easdem ecclesias nascitur, praesentibus utrisque partibus in vestra praesentia pertractetur. &c.
