"We render thanks to God our Father, who in our days raised up for Geisa a son like unto David: We accede to him, in the name of the Almighty, the diadem and title of King, and confirm all his ecclesiastical nominations. The more to prove our respect for him and his successors, who will be chosen by the Great of the realm, we grant to him and to those by whom he will be succeeded, our cross as an apostolic sign, and give them power, as our vicegerents, to regulate and dispose of ecclesiastical affairs at present and for the time to come."
