We hear and understand, that the Archbi. elect of the church of York (a discrete and industrious man) is sequestered from the church of York: which standeth against both divine justice,1 and the institution of holy fathers. Our purpose is, that neither the church of Cant. should be impaired, nor again that the church of York should suffer any prejudice, but that the same constitution which was by blessed Gregory (the apostle of the english nation) set and decreed between those two churches: should remain still in force and effect inviolate. Wherefore, as touching the foresaid elect let him be received again by any means (as right and mere it is) unto his Church. And if there be any question between the foresaid churches, let it be handled and decided in your presence, both the two parties being there present. &c.
