] POSITION AND CLAIMS OP GREGORY VH. 169 to Henry IV. , exhorting him to help the Eoman See against the antipope Cadalius, he says that the king is to be respected when he obeys the Creator ; but when he goes against the divine commands he is lawfully held in contempt by his subjects. In another place he speaks of the Pope as the king of kings and prince of emperors, who excels all living beings in honour and dignity ; and in another place still he speaks of the Eoman Church as having been foun...ded by Christ, who committed to Peter (" beato eternse vitac clavigero") the laws both of the earthly and heavenly empire, and this is repeated in another work, where he speaks of Christ as having committed to Peter the laws both of heaven and of earth. 1 We have already considered these phrases in Part I. Of the volume, and we have dealt with the interpretation of some of them by the canonists of the twelfth century in volume ii. , 2 and we can only repeat that it is very difficult to say what Peter Damian may have meant by them.
