Hereupon the Pope calls a Council at Rome, which excommunicated all the German Bithops that depofed him, and the Bi- Chops of Lombardy as confpiring againft St. Peter, and many French Bi- (hops : And with them the Emperor Henry i and depofed him (quantum info from all his dominions : and abfolved his Subjects from their oaths (as aforefaid.) § 73. CCCLVIII. The excommunicateBifhops had a Council at Pa- pia, where they retorted the Popes Anathema onhimfelf, and excom-- municate him. § 74 CCCLIX. The Pope calls another Council at Rome, where the Arch-Bithops of Millan and Ravenna (the Antipope) are excommuni- cate, and the Emperor's caufe and party again condemned. § 75. CCCLX. Another Synod at Rome an. 1078. decreed divers things for defence of the Clergies priviledges. And it is obfervable that to that day the old Canons were in force for nulling all ordinations not made by theCommon Confent of theClerks and People: Ordinationet qua intervenientepretio vel precsbus, vel obfequio alicujus perfona ea intentions impenfo, vel qua non Common confenfu Cleri & populi fecundumCanonical fanilionesfiant, & ab his adquo; confecratio pertinet, non comprobantur, in- firmas & irritas effe dijudicamus ; quoniam quitaliter ordinantur nsn per ofl'ium, id efl, perChriftum intrant, fedut ipfa veritas teftatur, fores font &- lalrones. Therefore it is no finful reparation to difownand avoid fuchob- truded Bithops or Paftors as are not fo ordained by the Common Con- fent of the Clergy and the People. 76. In this Council the Pope, to keep up Come prerenfions yet to a power in the Raft', excommunicated the new made Emperor Niçephorus- Botòniate; for depofing wrongfully the Emperor Michael and his Wife Mary, and his Son Conftantine Porphyres, and putting them into a Mon- artery and invading the throne, whom the Patriarch Cofmas lately fer up byMichael, had Crowned : But thus matters were then often carryed. § 77.
