1014. JULIUS II. to JAMES IV.
James has proved his love for the Church by sending Andrew bp. of Murray to promote peace between the Pope and France. The bp. can bear witness it has not been the Pope's fault if he has failed. Lewis does not wish peace, but to oppress and lacerate the Holy See. He occupies Bologna and excites schism, so that the Pope has been obliged to appeal for protection to Ferdinand of Aragon and the Seignory of Venice, with whom he has made a Holy League for the recovery of Bologna. Hopes James will either enter this league or at least abstain from giving aid to France. Rome, 6 (fn. 1) Jan. 1512, 9 pont.
