A96861	Anglo-tyrannus, or the idea of a Norman monarch, represented in the paralell reignes of Henrie the Third and Charles kings of England, wherein the whole management of affairs under the Norman kings is manifested, together with the real ground, and rise of all those former, and these latter contestations between the princes, and people of this nation, upon the score of prerogative and liberty. And the impious, abusive, and delusive practises are in short discovered, by which the English have been bobbed of their freedome, and the Norman tyrannie founded and continued over them. / By G.W. of Lincolnes Inne.	Walker, George, of Lincoln's Inn.	1650 (1650)	Wing W340; Thomason E619_1; ESTC R203987	46,665	64

had a Negative voice and might chuse whither he would hearken unto them and be no King or no the Parliament concluded and with it ended all his goodly Promises For he presently hastens to Dover receiving a Legat without acquainting the Lords with the cause of his comming exacts the Subsidie contrary to order is wholly swayed by the Counsell of his Queens Vncle an Alien sends for his father in Law to help away with his monie marries Simon Mountford to his sister the Widdow of William Earl of Pembroke a professed Nunne and of a banished Frenchman makes him Earl of Leicester But the Legat and Earl of Leicester proved better than was expected no thanks to the King who doubtlesse was no Prophet the one endeavouring to pacifie not foment divisions which before was held a property inseparable from his office The other becomming a most earnest assertor of the English Liberties as the Sequele will manifest The Lords incensed with these perfidious and tyrannous dealings Remonstrate against him and tell him of the profusion of his Treasure gotten by Exaction from the Subject and cast away upon strangers who onely guide him of the infinite sums he had raised in his time how there was no Archbishoprick or Bishoprick except York Lincoln and Bath but he had made benefit by their vacancies besides what fell by Abbyes Earldoms Baronies and other Escheats and yet his Treasure which should be the strength of the State was nothing encreased Lastly That despising his Subjects Counsels he was so obsequious to the will of the Romans that he seemed the Popes feudary the King hearing this harsh note and perceiving the Londoners and whole people ready to rise against him first by the Legat attempts to win his Brother now the head of the Lords party to side with Him but failing in this he cals a Parliament whether the Lords come armed Whereupon to gain time the businesse is referred to the order of certain grave personages Articles drawn sealed and publikely set up with the eals of the Legat and divers great men the King taking his Oath to stand to their determinations but whilst the businesse was debating he corrupts his Brother and the Earl of Lincoln whereby the Lords are weakned the businesse is dash'd and the miseries of the Kingdom continued Simon Montford is thrown out of favour and the Seal taken from him and his brother Geoffrey a Knight Templer put out of the Counsel Men much maligned as evil Counsellors so inconstant are Tyrants in their favours they lost their places for refusing to passe a grant of 4 pence upon every sack of wool made by the King to the Earl of Flanders the Queens Vncle to whom the next year he gave a pension of 300 marks per annum out of the Exchequer and here by their dejection we may observe that Officers under bad Princes are not alwayes so bad as men account them and that when the Master playes the wreaks the servant bears the burden But it seems one Gulph sufficed not to swallow up the substance of the Kingdom and therefore the Pope adds extortion to the Kings exaction and sends to have 300 Romans preferred to the next vacant benefices in England which mandate so amazed the Archbishop of Canterbury that seeing no end of these Concussions of the State and liberties of the Church he gives over his Sea and payes 800 marks to the Pope for his Fine We need never doubt sure but that they paid well for it who were to have it when so much was given by him that left it He demands a tenth also of the Clergy who flying to the King for protection against the Popes rapine were referred to the Legat yea and the chief of them offered to be delivered up unto him by the King who joyned with the Pope we may see to aw and punish the Kingdom and though they in the Councell then called stood out for a while against the Legat yet at length by the Treason of division the body of the Councel is entred into and the Pope prevails in this businesse Neither was Pope and King enough the Queenes kindred must have a share one of whose Vncles comes into England is feasted sumptuosly Knighted and the Earldom of Richmond with other gifts bestowed on him and the Arch-Bishoprick of Canterbury conferred on his Son but the poor Jews fasted for this who were forced to pay 20000 marks at two Terms that year The King being set agogg to be doing in France by his Father in Law and others the authors of his first Expedition summons a Parliament and moves the matter therein but it was generally opposed as a design not feasible and expensive besides the unlawfulnesse of breaking Truce Money also was denyed though the King came in person most submissively craving their aid with a letter from the Pope to boot in his hand Neverthelesse what by gifts and loans from particular men by begging and borrowing he scraped so much together that he carryed over with him 30 barrels of Stirling Coin and yet before the end of the year he got Escuage toward his charges which he lay spending at Bourdeaux to little or no purpose He sent for Grain Bacon had 10000 quarters of Wheat 5000 of Oates and as many Bacons shipt away most of which perished by Ship-wrack the very Elements seeming discontented as well as the English Lords at his unworthy carriage in undervaluing their Counsels and preferring strangers upon whom he consumed his treasure in such sort as caused his Brother and most of the English Lords to desert him and come over the wiser they for the Earl of Leicester and others which staid behind ranne behind hand too as wel as the King by borrowing large sums to defray their expences at last He was driven to make a dishonorable Truce with the French King and return having not gained so much as 30 emptie barrels were worth The Stangers having made up their mouths of him abroad follow him hither also so greedy were these Harpies after prey and so easy and ready was he to be made one to them and now the Countesse of Provence the Queens Mother bringing another doughter with her arrives at Dover is sumptuously entertained and sent away richly rewarded her daughter being immediately bestowed on the Earle of Cornewall who it seemes had as good a stomack to forraigne flesh as the King his brother that he could fall too so soone without sauce but the Earle was well beforehand in the world and so might the better dispence with the want of a portion Next slips in Martin the Popes collectour furnished with such ample power of cursing suspending excommunicating pardoning having whole droves of blanke Bulls which might be filled up according to occasion and all other accoutrements belonging to and necessary for St. Peters successors trade which was fishing for money not men that the former Legats were but fleas if compared with this horseleech who sucketh so

for money so cursed a thirst after Gold was in both It is no wonder therefore some of Henry's late successors were hying so fast to Rome who being troubled with the same disease stood in need of the same Mountebanke and no doubt but Venus hath obtained Armour of proof of Vulcan for her wandring AEneas so that the King of Scots is well provided against the Covenants pearcing him to the heart by the care of his Mother and art of his holy Father But to returne to Henry whom we see the greatest security that could be given and that under the greatest penalty an Oath could not hold who would therefore suppose that he or any Kings of such metall should ever be believed againe by any who write themselves men Creatures in whose composition are many ounces of reason when the only Chaine upon earth besides Love to tye the Conciences of men and humane society together which should it not hold all the frame of Government must fall asunder and men like Beasts be left to force that whosoever is the stronger may destroy the other hath been so often and suddainly broken by the Norman tyrants in whom this perjury ran in a bloud almost to a miracle or who could think Master Prynne who in print takes notice of their frequent violations would ever be drawn by corrupt interest to have his Countries Liberties sent to Sea to seek their fortunes in so rotten a Bottome These Deeds being done succeeds one so monstrous that we must almost run half way to Credulity to be able to meet it for this perjured Prince was not ashamed to send his Brother over to summon the Estates and demand of them the Wounds yet fresh and bleeding made by his impieties another Subsidy but the Parlament denied him to the great exasperation of the Tyrant yet the Earl of Cornwall forced the Iews to pay a great Summ that he might not return empty handed to his Brother who staid untill he had consumed all that ever he could get in this Iourney which with the other two made before cost him seven and twenty hundred thousand pounds more than all his Lands there were They to be sold were worth besides thirty thousand Marks with Lands Rents Wards Horses and Iewels to an inestimable price thrown away upon his half-brothers After all this he returns and the first that felt their good Lord was come again were the Londoners and the Iews who paid soundly for his Welcome The Londoners presenting him with an hundred pounds were returned without Thanks or Money for he was not altogether so unmannerly as to deny to receive it then being perswaded Plate would be better welcome they send him a fair Vessell worth two hundred pounds this had some Thanks but yet would not serve the turn For the Pope having bestowed the Kingdom of Sicil on the Kings younger Son which the Earl of Cornwall wisely refused knowing the Pope was never so liberall of any thing which was his own the King to gain this makes all the mony he can get out of his Coffers and Exchequer or borrow of his Brother or scrape from the Iews or extort by the rapine of his Iustices itinerants which he gives to the Pope to maintain his Wars against Conrade King of Sicil you see there was a right Owner of what the Pope was so liberal and yet all this would not do for the Pope writes for more who was loath to be a Niggard of anothers Purse upon this Henry sends him Letters Obligatory signed with his Seal with Blanks left to put in what Summs he would or could get of the Merchants of Italy desiring him to stick upon no interest all which was so effectually performed that he was put in Debt no lesser Summ than three hundred thousand Marks and yet no Sicil was got Vpon this a Parlament is summoned and of them money required which though they promised to grant upon condition he would swear without all cavillation to observe the Charters and let the Chief Iusticiar Chancellour and Treasurer be elected by the common Councel of the Realm would not be hearkned to for though he cared not a fig for his Oath yet it seems those Officers might have restrained him from disposing of his Cash at list and not suffer his Holinesse to have a Penny whereby he might have wanted his Dispensation or else the humor of Tyranny was so high that all his penury was not able to check it for one moment The King thus being left unprovided the Bishop of Hereford Agent for the Prelates at Rome like a trusty Steward findes a shift to help him for getting certain Authentick Seals from them upon pretence of dispatching some businesse for them by Licence of the Pope and King he sets them to writings of such Summs of Money taken up of Italian Merchants for their Vse and so makes them pay the Kings scores He seizes also the Liberties of the City of London into his hands upon the pretence of their letting a Prisoner escape making them fine three thousand Marks to himself and six hundred to his Brother he requires of the Iews upon pain of hanging a Tallage of eight thousand Marks and thus having fleeced them he set them to farm to his Brother who upon Pawns lent him a huge masse of Money then the City Liberties are seized again but upon payment of four hundred Marks restored And to add to all one Ruscand a Legat from the Pope comes and demands the Tenth of England Scotland and Ireland to the use of the King and Pope preaching the Crosse against the King of Sicil but the Clergy protesing rather to lose their Lives and Livings than yield thus to the will of the Pope and King who they said were as the Shepherd and the Wolf combined to macerate the Flock were ordered to some tune for the Legat suspended excommunicated them and the King if they submitted not in forty days spoiled them of all their Goods as forfeited All men by Proclamation that could dispend fifteen pound per annum were commanded to come in and receive the Order of Knighthood or else pay their Fines as was before done in the 37. year and every sheriffe was fined 5 marks for not distreyning on all whom the Proclamation reached this trick was shown in our dayes lest any oppression should scape unexercised A Parliament was held wherein the Prelats and Clergy offered him upon condition the Charters might be observed 52000 marks but it satisfied him not for he demanded the Tenths for 3. years without deduction of expences and the first fruits for the same time Another was called to London wherein upon the Kings pressing Them for releife to pay his depts He is plainly told They will not yeeld to pay him any thing and if unadvisedly he without their consents and counsells bought the Kingdom of Sicill and had been deceived he should impute it to his own imbecility and have been instructed by
