1I will touch therefore in few words, what things in the times following Popes have attempted against kings, and boldly done for the establishing of their Empire and Monarchy. Pope Alexander the .3. did excommunicate Frederick the .1. called Barbarossa, & trod him under his feet. And where the good Prince said, how he showeth this obedience to S. Peter: the beast exclaimed, setting him self also before Peter, and said, both to me and to Peter, and stamped on him: Pope Innocentius the .3. could not abide, much less allow Philippe the son of Frederick, 2created Emperor: but commanded the electors, to choose an other, I mean Ottho Duke of Saxon, whom notwithstanding shortly ⟨p. 417⟩after he excommunicated also.

The same in the first book the .33. Titl. de maior. & obedient. Writing to the Emperor Constantine. So much diversity, sayeth he, as there is betwixt the sun and the Moon, so great a difference is there between Popes and Kings, in Gods name.
