Reading edition

“Domine, de longinquo venimus huc per petitionem tuam,” is the opening speech of the envoys to John, in Ann. Burton a. 1211, pp. 209–210; and the king at the end of the discussion bursts out—“Intimatum mihi erat per quosdam latores meos, immo latrones, quod vos in curia Romana promoveretis causam meam et quod me diligeretis; modo vero hic percipio quod causam meam non fovetis.... Talia autem mihi nunciaturos non mandavi, sed ut causam meam defenderetis,” ib. p. 216.
