150 SCOTTISH ANNALS<br />

Our brother John, bishop of Glasgow, about whom you<br />

have written, has come to us and laboured by great persistence<br />

<strong>in</strong> prayers and <strong>in</strong> several other ways that we should free him<br />

from the exhibition of that profession which thou demandest<br />

of him. But we, both wish<strong>in</strong>g to preserve to the church of,<br />

York her dignity and recall<strong>in</strong>g to memory thy affection, have<br />

not granted assent to that father's prayers, neither to his words<br />

nor to his promises. T<strong>here</strong>fore he has set out for Jerusalem,<br />

as has been told us by others, and departed from the city<br />

without our permission or knowledge. What he will do we<br />

know not.<br />

Do thou t<strong>here</strong>fore, dearest brother, so study to love thy<br />

mother, the Roman church, and to visit her with thy messengers<br />

; and so also be m<strong>in</strong>dful of our affection, that thou<br />

mayest ever be more worthy of, and ever have, the favour of<br />

apostolic good-will.<br />

IN RAINE'S YORK,<br />

Bishop Calixtus, servant of the servants of God, to John,<br />

bishop of Glasgow, greet<strong>in</strong>g and apostolic benediction.<br />

Moved by many prayers of our beloved son Alexander,<br />

k<strong>in</strong>g of Scots, we have given thee respite for some time for<br />

thy return, with<strong>in</strong> the term of the day appo<strong>in</strong>ted, with due<br />

humility to obedience to our venerable brother Thurstan,<br />

of York.<br />

archbishop<br />

And as we have learned by<br />

the immediate <strong>in</strong>formation<br />

of his letters, thou hast presumed to withdraw thyself from<br />

obedience and subjection to him ; and t<strong>here</strong>fore we command<br />

thee to return to subjection and obedience to the<br />

archbishop aforesaid, with<strong>in</strong> thirty days after the receipt of<br />

these letters. Otherwise we confirm the sentence which has<br />

been pronounced by him upon thee.<br />
