a With the exception ofthe name of the grantee, and date of the month, which are written, it is printed on parchment, in small sharp black-letter type, probably from a Roman press. A fragment of the seal in red wax is attached by a strip cut from another copy of the form. We subjoin the following from Fuller's “Church History,” edit. 1655, xv cent, book iv. “John Giglis, an Italian, about this time employed by the Pope, got an infinite mass of money, having power from the Pope to absolve people from usury, symonie, theft, manslaughter, fornication, adultery, and all crimes whatsoever, saving smiting of the clergie, and conspiring against the Pope, and some few cases reserved alone to His Holiness; This Giglies got for himself the rich bishoprick of Worcester; yea, we observe, that in that see a team of four Italians followed each other:
1. John Giglis.
2. Silvester Giglis.
3. Julius de Medicis, afterwards Clement the 7th.
4. Hieronymus de Negutiis.
Thus, as weeds in a garden, once got in, hardly got out, as sowing themselves, so these Italians, having planted themselves in that rich place, were never gotten out (pleading as i t were prescription of almost forty years' possession) till the power of the Pope was partly banished England, and then Hugh Latimer was placed in the bishoprick.”
