1Again when this Empire seemed to waver and to slide, and therefore like shortly to fall, the Bishop of Rome instituted seven Princes Electors. Some refer this ordinance to Gregory the .5. which was Pope when Otth• was Emperor. And some to Gregory the .10. which called Rafe of Abspurge to the Empire. Whereof shall be more said anon. But the Lord by S. John sayeth expressly, how the beast said to the inhabitants of the Earth, that they should make an Image of the beast. For the Popes have by speaking, and not by fighting (as appeareth in the stories of Bishops of Rome, especially of Leo the .3.) erected a new Empire. For by preaching, persuading, and practising, they brought the Empire to King Charles. Certainly Platina in the life of Leo the .3. The Bishop, sayeth he, minding to gratify by some mean king Charles, which had deserved right well of the church, in the church of S. Peter, after solemn service done, by the voices and prayers of the people of Rome, with a loud voice declareth Charles Emperor, and crowneth him. &c.
1Agayne when this Empire semed to wauer and to slide, and therefore lyke shortely to falle, the Bisshoppe of Rome instituted seuen Princes Electours. Some referre this ordenaunce to Gregory the .5. whiche was Pope when Otth• was Emperour. And some to Gregory the .10. whiche called Rafe of Abspurge to the Empire. Whereof shal be more sayed anone. But the Lorde by S. Iohn sayeth expressely, howe the beast sayed to the inhabiters of the Earth, that thei shuld make an Image of the beaste. For the Popes haue by speakyng, and not by fightyng (as appereth in the stories of Bisshoppes of Rome, especially of Leo the .3.) erected a new Empire. For by preachyng, perswadyng, and practysing, they brought the Empire to Kinge Charles. Certenly Platina in the life of Leo the .3. The Bisshop, sayeth he, minding to gratifie by some meane king Charles, which had deserued right well of the churche, in the churche of S. Peter, after solemne seruice done, by the voyces and prayers of the people of Rome, with a lowde voyce declareth Charles Emperour, and crowneth him. &c.
