England ground as by two Milstones between the King and this Pope. The Archdeacons and other Clergy in a Parliament summoned, lamentably complain of their intolerable exactions, to the desolation of the Church, Realm; whereupon they resolved to present their Grievances in order by Messengers and Letters to this Pope and his Cardinals in the name of all the Clergy, people of the Realm; at which Letters the Pope and Court of Rome murmured, because their avarice was so reproved, restrained, and to prevent the danger of a revolt from them, reduced the 60000 to 11000 Marks, which the Bishops to avoid the Popes displeasure assented to, against the Kings, Nobles Letters, and inferior Clergies wills, 678, 679, 680.

The King summons another Parliament to advise how to redress these manifold and frequent extortions, exhausting the Kingdoms Treasure, bringing no good, but much detriment to the Church, and very displeasing to God; summoning the Bishops specially to it, frequently impoverished by them, who all most basely condescended to a Contribution of 11000 Marks to the Pope, which some of them before resolved to oppose, being so frequently worried, tired with the Popes Agents vexations when they opposed them, which act rendered all the Clergy suspected to the Kingdom, 696.

He vacated the Monks election of the Abbot of St. Edmunds, without just cause, to ensnare him in the net of his unmerciful mercy; and then to content the grieved Monks, out of his mere grace confirmed him their Abbot, so as he entered into bond to pay 800 Marks to his designed Merchant; which he forced to do, died of grief in his return thence; which oppressions made the Court of Rome infamous, and drew the Plague and God's wrath upon it, 717.
