    to Pope Alexander III 
    Thus liberty of the church breathes again. For a long 
    time the church languished depressed ... now you have resurrected the ship 
    of Peter which everyone thought had been sunk. The presumption of
    tyranny has died.ut vel sic 
    respiret libertas Ecclesiae, quae tanto tempore languit depressa, et gaudeat 
    mundus glorificans Deum, qui fecit vobiscum misericordiam suam,quatenus 
    resurgat per vos navicula Petri, quae ab omnibus fere credebatur submersa, 
    exspiret tyrannorum [Col. 0444D] praesumptio, quae videbatur obtinuisse. |

    to the bishops of the province of Canterbury 
    Avenge the blood of the 
    church, which has been eviscerated by the violence of  dead 
    souls. The pride of 
    those who hate the liberty of the church, increases always . .Vindica sanguinem
    ecclesiae, quae eviscerata est, quae facta est 
    oppressione exanimis. Superbia enim eorum,qui oderunt ejus libertatem, 
    ascendit semper. |
