Furthermore, all such as have been solemnly cited of us: shall sustain the like sentence of excommunication (if God will) in the Ascension day: unless they shall otherwise agree with me. That is to wit: Geoffrey Archdeacon of Canterbury and Robert his vicar, Rice of Wilcester, Richard of Lucy, William Gifferd, Adam of Cheringes, with such other moe: which either at the commandment of the king, or upon their own proper temerity, have invaded the goods and possessions either appertaining to us, or to our clerks about us. With these also we do excommunicate all such as be known either with aide or counsel, to have incensed or set forward the proceeding of our king against the liberties of the Church, and exiling of the innocents. And such also as be known to Impeach or let by any manner of way the messengers (sent either from the Pope, or from us) for the necessities of the Church. Fare you well again and ever.
