154 SCOTTISH ANNALS
land has lacked its shepherd and without doubt as ; greatly
as it has been despoiled of its vigour, by so much worse will
result thereby the downfall of its subjects. And hence we
exhort your noble Energy (which God's favour has till now
so honoured among other kings, free from outstanding blame,
that it is by all held to be worthy of praise,) that you put an
end to so great a loss to religion, and of your good will recall
to his see the pastor whom you have canonically elected and
we have legally sent to you. And since no fault is apparent
either in you or in him whereby this may not worthily be
done, we understand not how, by authority of the fathers,
your church referred to can, in his lifetime, appoint another
bishop : for a godly spouse spurns all but her lawful husband,
while hers lives, lest she become adulterous. Wherefore for
whatsoever reason this has been delayed till now, for the
sake of your glory recall to the first degree of your affection
and to the office laid upon him a man who is, as we hope, of
use to you, and who has been nobly trained from his boyhood
in the law of God.
" The God of peace and of love, from whom every good
counsel comes forth, be with you always.

What you think of that which we enjoin upon you, we
pray you have it written to us in reply. May affection for
you flourish with the lady the queen your wife, and with all
who love you and desire the things which are right, glorious
lord and honourable son of holy mother church. Amen." l
