All the other prelates threw themselves on their knees before him, andentreated him, with tears in their eyes, to prevent the scandal ofthis sentence, by making a speedy submission to his spiritual father, by receiving from his hands the new-elected primate, and by restoringthe monks of Christ-Church to all their rights and possessions. Heburst out into the most indecent invectives against the prelates;swore by God's teeth, (his usual oath, ) that if the pope presumed tolay his kingdom under an... interdict, he would send to him all thebishops and clergy of England, and would confiscate all their estates;and threatened that, if thenceforth he caught any Romans in hisdominions, he would put out their eyes and cut off their noses, inorder to set a mark upon them which might distinguish them from allother nations [n]. Amidst all this idle violence, John stood on suchbad terms with his nobility, that he never dared to assemble thestates of the kingdom, who, in so just a cause, would probably haveadhered to any other monarch, and have defended with vigour theliberties of the nation against these palpable usurpations of thecourt of Rome.
