The father to help the captivity and misery of his son, was compelled to submit himself to the Pope, and to entreat for peace. So the Emperor coming to Venice (at S. Marks Church, where the bishop was, there to take his absolution) was bid to kneel down at the Popes feet.

The proud Pope setting his foot upon the Emperors neck,1 said the verse of the Psalm: Super aspidem & basiliscum ambulabis & conculcabis Leonem & Draconem: That is, Thou shalt walk upon the Adder and the Basilisk, and shalt tread down the Lion and the Dragon,2 &c. To whom the Emperor answering agayne, sayd: Non tibi sed Petro, that is, not to thee but to Peter. The Pope agayne, Et mihi, & Petro, both to me and to Peter. The Emperor fearing to give any occasion of further quarrelling, held his peace and so was absolved, and peace made between them: the conditions whereof were these. First, that he should receive Alexander, for the true Pope. Secondly, that he should [figure] restore again to the Church of Rome, all that he had taken away before. And thus the Emperor obtaining again his son, departed.
