Lord of the Realme in the statutes made at Gloucester in the sixth yeare of the raigne of King E. 1. King Edw. 1 is acknowledged by the Parliament to bee their soveraigne Lord and so was King Edw. 2. King Edw. 3. King Rich. 2. and all the Kings since by all Parliaments held in their severall raignes as to the studious Reader of the Acts of Parliament made in their severall times will appeare by a Parliament held at Westminster Anno 7. Edw. 1. It is acknowledged to belong to the King through his royall signiory streightly to defend force of armour and all other force against the peace of the kingdome at all times when it shall please him and to punish them which shall do contrary according to the lawes and usages of this Realme and that thereunto they were bound to ayde him as their soveraigne Lord at all seasons when need should be In the raigne of King Edw. 2. The two Spencers Hugh the father and Hugh the sonne to cover the treason hatched in their hearts invented this damnable and damned opinion as it iâ— stiled in Calvines case That homage and oath of legeance was more by reason of the Kings Crowne that is his politique capacity then by reason of the person of the King upon which opinion they inforced execrable and detestable consequeâ—â—s First that if the King do not demeane himselfe by reason in the right of his Crowne the Peers are boundly oath to remove the King Secondly seeing the King could not be removed by suit of law that ought to be done by Aspertee which is as much as to say by force and war Thirdly that his Lieges were bound to governe in ayde of him and in default of him All which opinions were condemned by two Parliaments one held in the raigne of King Edward the second the other in the first yeare of King Edward the third cap. 1. as by the old printed statutes appeares by the statutes of 25. Edw. 3. cap. 2 It is ordained that if a man shall compasse or imagine the death of our soveraigne Lord the King or of my Lady his Queene or of his eldest sonne or if any man levy warre against the King in his Realme or bee adhered to the Kings enemies giving to them ayde or comfort in the Realme or elsewhere c.

It was then agreed in Parliament that the statute made 15. Edw. 3. should be repealed and lose the name of a statute as contrary to the Lawes and prerogative of the King It appeares Rot. Parlia. 42. num 7. called Lex â—â— consuetudo Parliamenti cited by Sir Edward Coke in the fourth part of his Institutes pag. 13. 14. That the Lords and Commons in full Parliament did declare that they could not assent to any thing in Parliament that tended to the disherison of the King and his Crowne whereunto they were sworne By the statute of 16. Rich. 2. cap. 5. King Richard the second is by the Parliament called their Redoubted soveraigne Lord and the people his liege people and by Parliament in the body of that Act It is acknowledged that the Crowne of England hath beene so free at all times that it hath been in subjection to no Realme but immediately subject to God and to none other in all things touching the regallâ—ty of the same Crownel notwithstanding that afterwards warres was lovyed against him by his subjects and he was against all Law and right deposed or enforced to make a surrender of his Crowne or at least they pretended he did so though some Hystorians doubt whether he ever consented to it being murthered to make way for King Hen. 4. who had very small pretents to the Crowne as men learned in the lawes of this Realme have in all time since held which kind of disposing of the Kings person I hope and beleeve is not meant by them and which horrid act though it gave some present security to some particuler persons that were then active in his destruction yet it cost this kingdome in generall very deare in the expence of blood and treasure in the succeeding times by bloody civill warres wherein the decay of men by those warrs was so great that many judicious Historians are of opinion that the number of men lost in those warres was not recruited or made up by a following progeny till the beginning of King James his raigne and it is to be feared that this blood is not expiated and dryed up in this land The gates of Janus Temple being opened both without the kingdome and within for the space of an hundred yeares and upwards till by Gods great goodnesse there came to be an union of the rights of the two houses of York and Lancaster to the Crowne of England in King Hen. 7. and Queene Elizabeth his wife though that till neare the middle of his raigne the sword was not altogether sheathed but there were some counterfeit pretenders to the Crowne which stirred the unconstant multitude to sundry rebellions which after some time of rest from those civill broyles The King Lords and Commons in Parliament upon full experience and consideration of the troubles past for the prevention of the like in future times thought fit to revive the ancient lawes of the Realme and to declare that by act of Parliament which was and had beene a fundamentall law of the Land and was before part of the common law thereof to enact and declare in the eleventh yeare of the said Kings reigne in the first chapter of the statutes made in Parliament in the said yeare in these words Anno Vndecimo Henrici septimi The King our sovereigne Lord calling to his remembrance the duty of allegiance of his subjects of this Realme and that they by reason of the same are bound to serve their prince and sovereigne Lord for the time being in his warres for the defence of him and the land against every rebellion power and might raised against him and with him to enter and abide in service in battaile if case so require and that for the same service what fortune ever fall by chance in the same battaile against the minde and will of the Prince as in this land sometimes passed hath been seene that it is not reasonable but against all lawes reason and a good conscience that the said subjects going with their sovereigne Lord in Warres attending upon him in his person or being in other places by his commandement within this Land or without any thing should lese or forfeit for doing their true duty and service of allegiance It is therefore ordeyned enacted and established by the King our sovereigne Lord by the advice and assent of the Lords Spirituall and Temporall and Commons in this present Parliament assembled and by authority of
