78 HISTORY OF ENGLAND. [A. D. 1162.—Chap. VIII. and you do well, Sir, in thinking of such good actions. Then he shall have one presently, cried the king; and seizing the skirt of the chancellor's coat, which was scar let, and lined with ermine, began to pull it violently. The chancellor defended himself for some time, and they had both of them like to have tumbled off their horses in the street, when Becket, after a vehement struggle, let go his coat, which the king bestowed on the beggar ; who, being ignorant of the quality of the persons, was not a little sur prised at the present. 3 Becket, who, by his complaisance and good humour, had rendered himself agreeable, and by his industry and abilities useful, to his master, appeared to him the fittest person for supplying the vacancy made by the death of Theobald. As he was well acquainted with the king’s intentions b of retrenching, or rather confining within the ancient bounds, all ecclesiastical privileges, and always showed a ready disposition to comply with them, c Henry, who never expected any resistance from that quarter, im mediately issued orders for electing him Archbishop of Canterbury. But this resolution, which was taken con trary to the opinion of Matilda, and many of the minis ters,' 1 drew after it very unhappy consequences ; and never firince of so great penetration appeared, in the issue, to lave so little understood the genius and character of his minister. No sooner was Becket installed in this high dignity, which rendered him for life the second person in the kingdom, with some pretensions of aspiring to be the first, than he totally altered his demeanour and conduct, and endeavoured to acquire the character of sanctity, of which his former busy and ostentatious course of life might, in the eyes of the people, have naturally bereaved him. Without consulting the king, he immediately returned into his hands the commission of chancellor ; pretending, that he must thenceforth detach himself from secular affairs, and be solely employed in the exercise of his spiritual function ; but in reality, that he might break off all connexions with Henry, and apprize him, that Becket, as Primate of England, was now become entirely a new personage. He maintained, in his retinue and attend ants alone, his ancient pomp and lustre, which was useful to strike the vulgar: m his own person he affected the greatest austerity and most rigid mortification, which, he was sensible, would have an equal or a greater tendency to the same end. He wore sackcloth next his-skin, which, by his affected care to conceal it, was necessarily the more remarked by all the world : he changed it so seldom, that it was filled with dirt and vermin : nis usual diet was bread ; his drink water, which he even rendered further unpalatable by the mixture of unsavoury herbs : he tore his back with the frequent discipline which he in flicted on it: he daily on his knees washed, in imitation of Christ, the feet of thirteen beggars, whom he afterwards dismissed with presents : e he gained the affections of the monks by his frequent charities to the convents and hos pitals ; every one, who made profession of sanctity, was admitted to his conversation, and returned full of pane gyrics on the humility as well as on the piety and morti fication of the holy primate : he seemed to be perpetually employed in reciting prayers and pious lectures, or in perusing religious discourses; his aspect wore the appear ance of seriousness and mental recollection, and secret devotion : and all men of penetration plainly saw that he was meditating some great design, and that the ambition and ostentation of his character had turned itself towards a new and more dangerous object. M Becket waited not till Henry should com- Quarrel between mence those projects against the ecclesiastical Becket 8 " nd P ower , which, he knew, had been formed by that prince : be was himself the aggressor; and endeavoured to overawe the king by the intrepidity and boldness of his enterprises. He summoned the Earl of Clare to surrender the barony of Tunbridge, which, ever since the Conquest, had remained in the family of that nobleman, but which, as it had formerly belonged to the see of Canterbury, Becket pretended his” predecessors a Fitz-Steph, p. 16. b Ibid.p. 17. c Ibid. p. 23. Epist. St. Tbom. p. 232. d Epist. St. Thom. p. I67. e Fitz-Steph, p. 25. Hist. Quad. p. 19. were prohibited by the canons to alienate. The Earl of Clare, besides the lustre which he derived from the great ness of his own birth, and the extent of his possessions, was allied to all the principal families in the kingdom; his sister, who was a celebrated beauty, had further ex tended his credit among the nobility, and was even sup posed to have gained the king’s affections; and Becket could not better discover, than by attacking so powerful an interest, his resolution of maintaining with vigour the rights, real or pretended, of his see/ William de Eynsford, a military tenant of the crown, was patron of a living which belonged to a manor that held of the Archbishop of Canterbury : but Becket, with out regard to William's right, presented, on a new and illegal pretext, one Laurence to that living, who was violently expelled bv Eynsford. The primate, making himself, as was usual in spiritual courts, both judge and party, issued, in a summary manner, the sentence of ex communication against Eynsford, wbo complained to the king, that he who held in capite of the crown should, con trary to the practice established by the Conqueror, and maintained ever since by his successors, be subjected to that terrible sentence, without the previous consent of the sovereign.? Henry, who had now broken off all personal intercourse with Becket, sent him, by a messenger, his orders to absolve Eynsford; but received for answer, that it belonged not to the king to inform him whom he should absolve and whom excommunicate: h and it was not till after many remonstrances and menaces, that Becket, though with the worst grace imaginable, was induced to comply with the royal mandate. Henry, though he found himself thus grievously mis taken in the character of the person whom he had promot ed to the primacy, determined not to desist from his former intention of retrenching clerical usurpations. He was entirely master of his extensive dominions : the pru dence and vigour of his administration, attended with perpetual success, had raised his character above that of any of his predecessors : 1 the papacy seemed to be weak ened by a schism which divided all Europe: and he rightly judged, that, if the present favourable opportunity were neglected, the crown must, from the prevalent super stition of the people, be in danger of falling into an entire subordination under the mitre. The union of the civil and ecclesiastical power serves extremely, in every civilized government, to the mainten ance of peace and order; and prevents those mutual en croachments which, as there can be no ultimate judge between them, are often attended with the most dangerous consequences. Whether the supreme magistrate, who unites these powers, receives the appellation of prince or prelate, is not material: the superior weight which tem poral interests commonly bear in the apprehensions of men above spiritual, renders the civil part of his character most prevalent; and in time prevents those gross impos tures and bigoted persecutions, which, in all false religions, are the chief foundation of clerical authority. But during the progress of ecclesiastical usurpations, the state, by the resistance of the civil magistrate, is naturally thrown into convulsions; and it behoves the prince, both for his own interest, and for that of the public, to provide, in time, sufficient barriers against so dangerous and insidious a rival. This precaution had hitherto been much neglected in England, as well as in other catholic countries; and affairs at last seemed to have come to a dangerous crisis ; a sovereign of the greatest abilities was now on the throne : a prelate of the most inflexible and intrepid character was possessed of the primacy ; the contending powers appeared to be armed with their full force, and it was natural to expect some extraordinary event to result from their conflict. Among their other inventions to obtain money, the clergy had inculcated the necessity of penance as an atone ment for sin; and having again introduced the practice of paying them large sums as a commutation, or species of atonement, for the remission of those penances, the sins of the people, by these means, had become a revenue to f Fitz-Steph, p. 28.
