Upon the occasion of this letter, a solemn assemble there was appointed at Salisbury,1 about the hearing of this controversy. The variance between these two prelates still increased more and more. Radulph Archbishop of Can. in no case would yield nor condescend to give imposition of hands unto him,2 unless he would make his profession of obedience. Thurstine again said he would willingly receive & embrace his benediction, but as touching the profession of his subjection, that he would not agree unto. Then the king declaring his mind therein,3 signified unto Thurstin; that without his subjection and obedience professed to the Archbishop of Cant. he should not enjoy his consecration to be Archbishop, of York. Whereunto Thurstin (nothing replying again) renounced his Archbishopric, promising moreover to make no more claim unto is nor molest them that should enjoy it.
