"And how, when he [duke Henry] first arrived in this country, he caused the archbishop of
Canterbury to preach to the people, saying, " My good friends, all of you who are here have heard
how the king wrongfully banished1 your lord Henry, and that without any reason. For this cause
I have prayed to saint Peter, who is our patron, that all those who shall aid the duke shall have
speedy pardon and remission of all their sins, which they may have committed from the hour of
their baptism to the present time. And here behold the sealed bull which the Pope of Rome hath sent
to me, my good friends, to confirm the same to you all."
The archbishop's robe is red and gold, his mitre white and gold ; the figure
holding the cross is in a lead colour : the first of the five sitting front figures is in
a light pink ; the next blue,2 and his legs white ; the next in purple."1 the next in
red,4 and the last in green :5 the other figures are red and blue, the pulpit a light
green,6 the cloth blue and gold, the seal to the bull red, the back ground blue and
gold.
This is from the same MS. with Plate XX.
