At length the state of Christianity proceeded so far, after the time of the1 kings Radulphus, and Adulphus, under Albertus the first, in the year of Christ. 1300. that the Pope vaunted himself to be Emperor. For at the same time, Bonifacius the. 8. brought in again the year of Jubilee, which was abrogated by the Apostles. Acts the. 15 Chapter, promising forgiveness of sins unto all ye would come to Rome: upon the first day of which Jubilee, being adorned in his pontifical robes: he came abroad showing himself as Pope to all men, & blessing the people: the next day he came forth in his Imperial apparel, openly declaring that the Empire and Papacy together with all civill and ecclesiastical power, were in the popes hands. These things are written by Albertus Crantzius, in the eight book, 26. Chapter of his Saxony. The same Pope also set forth Decretals, which are called the Decretals of Bonifacius the eight, where in much more impudently he challengeth all power to the Popes.
