There, they pronounced a sentence of excommunication upon Count John and upon all his supporters and advisors, who had disturbed or sought to disturb the peace and kingdom of the King of England, unless they abandoned their hostility and sought reconciliation. Furthermore, they appealed to the presence of the Lord Pope against William, Bishop of Ely, so that he might no longer exercise the office of legate in England. They confirmed their appeal with their seals and sent it first to the king, and then to the Supreme Pontiff for ratification. This appeal was made on the fourth Ides of February (February 10), on a Thursday.

Eodem die Hubertus Cantuariensis archiepiscopus, et Hugo Lincolniensis, et Ricardus Lundoniensis, et Gilbertus Rofensis, et Godefridus Wintoniensis, et Wigornensis et Herefordensis episcopi, et Henricus Exoniensis electus, et abbates et clerici multi Cantuariensis diocesis, convenerunt in capella monachorum infirmornm apud Westmonasterium, et sententiam anathematis tulerunt in comitem Johannem, et in omnes fautores ejus et consiliarios, qui pacem et regnum regis Anglize turbaverunt vel turbarent, nisi relicta hostilitate ad satisfactionem venirent. Deinde appellaverunt ad præsentiam domini papæ contra Willelmum Eliensem episcopum, ne ipse de cwtero fungeretur in Anglia legationis officio; et appellationem suam sigillis suis confirmaverunt, et miserunt illam domino regi, deinde summo pontifici confirmandam. Facta est autem hæc appellatio quarto idus Februarii, feria quinta.
