Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
THIS was the sum of his sermon before his prayers, wherein he prayed first for pope Julius the third, with all his college of cardinals, the bishop of London, with the rest of that order; then for the king and queen, and the nobility of this realm; and lastly, for the commons of the same, with the souls departed, lying in the pains of purgatory. ⟨p. 407⟩This ended, the time being late, they began in St. Paul's to ring their evening song, whereby the preacher could not be well heard, which caused him to make an end of his sermon.
ABOUT this time a messenger was sent from the parliament to the pope, to desire him to confirm and establish the sale of abbey lands and chantry lands: for the lords and the parliament would grant nothing in the pope's behalf, before their purchases were fully confirmed.

THURSDAY, December 6, the whole convocation, both bishops and others, were sent for to Lambeth to the cardinal, who the same day forgave them all their perjurations, schisms, and heresies, and they all there kneeled down, and received his absolution; and after an exhortation and gratulation for their conversion to the catholic church, made by the cardinal, they departed.
