" I will discuss the matter," said the king, "and notify to you the result of my deterrnination.'' Upon this, the pope withdrew, and the king, by messengers, gave him this answer upon the subject : " I will admit Turstin to the archbishopric upon condition, that he pay that obedience to the church of Canterbury which his predecessors did, otherwise, so long as I reign, 62 In allusion to St. John, vi. 66. 212 ANNALS OF BOGEB BE HOVEDEN.
