The king ought to count what he hath spent in the Popes quarrel since he was king. The first voyage cost upon xiiij. hundred thousand pounds. Reckon since what hath been spent by sea and land between us and Frenchmen, and Scots, and then in triumphs, and in Ambassies, and what hath been sent out of the Realm secretly, and all to maintain our holy father, and I doubt not but that will surmount the some of. xl. or. l. hundred thousand pounds. For we had no cause to spend one penny but for our holy father. The king therefore ought to make them pay this money every farthing, and feet it out of their mitres, crosses, shrines and all manner treasure of the Church, and pay it to his commons again: not that only which the Cardinal and his Bishops compelled the commons to lend, and made them swear with such an ensample of tyranny as was never before thought on: but also all that he hath gathered of them. Or else by the consent of the commons to keep it in store for the defence of the realm. Yea the king ought to look in the Chronicles what the Popes have done to kings in time past and make them restore it also, And ought to take away from them their lands which they have gotten with their false prayers, & restore it unto the right heirs again, or with consent & advisement turn them unto the maintaining of the poor and bringing up of youth virtuously and to maintain necessary officers and ministers for to defend the common wealth.
