1To these petitions the Pope did easily consent, requiring again of the king that he would license Thurstinus the Archb. above minded, no return with favour into his realm. But that the king utterly denied unless he would profess subjection to the church of Cant. as his predecessors had done before, and excused himself by his oath, which he before had made. To this the Pope answered again, that he by his authority Apostolical, both might and woud• also easily dispense with him for his promise or oath. Then the king said that he would talk with his […] thereof; and so send him an answer of his mind. Which answer was this. That for the love and request of the Pope, he was content that Thurstinus should receive his realm, and quietly enjoy his prelateship, upon this condition that he would (as his predecessors did) profess his subjection to the church of Canter. Otherwise (said he) so long as he was king, he should never sit Archb. of the church of York. And thus ended that meeting between the king of england, and the Pope for that time.
