But least we shall seem too much to digress from our purpose, let us return to the story & time of Nicolas the second again, which was about the year, as is said. 1060. a little before Hildebrand was Pope. Which Hildebrand, albeit he was then but a Cardinal, yet was he the whole doer of all things,1 and concluded what him listed in the Church of Rome, and also made Popes, whom he would, as appeared both by this Nicolas, & also Pope Alexander which followed him. pag. 174. So that this dissolution of priests marriage began somewhat to kindle under this pope Nicolas,2 through the pestilent means of Hildebrand, and after him increased more under Pope Alexander, as appeareth by the Synod holden at Milan, an. 1067. but most of all it burst out under the said Hildebrand himself being Pope, the year (as is said) 1076.
