Paperback, [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from The History of Great Britain, From the First Invasion by the Romans Under Julius Caesar, Vol. 8 of 12 King John, who had maintained a passionate opposition to the ambitious pretences of the pope, and threatened to pull down his power, now became the warmest advocate for those pretences, and took shelter behind the papal chair. The English barons, who had affected to revere the dictates of the pope as the commands of God, and to dread his fulminations as the artillery of heaven, when they were pointed against King John, treated them both with the most sovereign contempt, when they were turned against themselves. Such is the shameless versatility of unprincipled politicians! As the pope had been the zealous friend of King John in the last years of his reign, he warmly espoused the cause of his infant son Henry III. against his competitor Prince Lewis. Henry, at his coronation, having sworn fealty to the pope as his superior lord, Gualo the papal legate renewed the sentence of excommunication against Prince Lewis and all his adherents. After the peace was concluded between Henry and Lewis, and this last prince had left the kingdom, the clergy and barons of his party were treated with great severity by the pope, and constrained to pay great sums of money for having dared to despise the thunders of the church of Rome.
