by our Kings and Privy Council without the Parliaments consent 8. That No Subsidies Aydes Tonnage Poundage Impositions or new Customs whatsoever lawfully might or could be granted imposed or levied on the Subjects but only in and by their Free Grants and Consents in Parliament upon urgent necessities on such conditions cautions limitations and for such ends uses purposes in such moderate proportions as our Parliaments thought fit to limit and prescribe And that all Customs Impositions New Taxes Extortions not thus granted imposed by Parliament were constantly complained of punished redressed by the next ensuing Parliaments 9. That our Kings usually returned the Lords and Commons special thanks for their Aids Subsidies though in Cases of publick Defence for their own and the Kingdoms safety and likewise gratified them with the Grants of general Pardons the answer of all their just Petitions Relief of their common Grievances Confirmations of their Liberties and enacting of wholesom New necessary Laws 10. That the first thing the Lords and Commons usually Petitioned for and our Kings Parliaments enacted in every Session was the Confirmation of the Great Charter the Charter of the Forest with other good Laws and publike Liberties and for redress of all Grievances Imprisonments and restraints repugnant thereunto which they still obtained 12. That our Parliaments in former ages have been very carefull to resume all the lands and revenues aliened from the Crown and to reunite them thereunto for the better support of our Kings defraying the publike expences of the Kingdom and the easing of the Subjects from Subsidies and Taxes as 1 R. 2. nâ— 48. 1 H. 4. n. 100. 6 H. 4. n. 14 15. 8 H. 4. n. 29. 52.1 H. 5. c. 9. 28 H. 6. n. 54. 29 H. 6. n. 17. 31 H. 6. c. 7. 35 H. 6. n. 47. 4 E. 4. n. 39 40. 7 E. 4. n. 8. 8 E. 4. n. 26. 13 E. 4. n. 6. and other Records here evidence Neither is this a practice peculiar unto England both in these Parliaments and in former ages but Universal through the world All Monarchs and States having held it for a general and universal Law That the publike Revenues should be holy sacred and inalienable either by Contract or prescription to the end that Princes should not be forced to overcharge their Subjects with Imposts or to seek any unlawfull means to forfeit their goods to supply their necessities most Kings and Princes being for this reason specially sworn and taking an Oath when they come to the Crown in no wayes to sell or make away the Revenues or Lands of the Crown and more particularly the Kings of France England Spain Poland Hungary The which is also observed in Popular and Aristocratical estates as in Venice the Cantons of the Swissers the Senate of Lucern even in later times and at this very day and in Athens and Rome it self in antient times where Themistocles and Cato the Censor caused all the publike Revenues to be seized on which through tract of time and sufferance of Magistrates had been sold unto or usurped by private men saying in their Orations That mortal men could never prescribe against the immortal God nor private men against the Common weal. Upon which grounds the Parliaments of France Poland and other Realms have frequently resumed the Crown Lands and Revenues soldâ— or given away to Princes of the blood Nobles and private persons such Sales and Gifts being meerly void in Law and destructive to the publike as you may read at large in Iohn Bodin his Common-wealth l. 6. cap. 2. Dr. Crakenthorps Defence of Constantine p. 169. to 172. The second Part of my Soveraign Power of Parliaments and Kingdoms p. 12. to 16. and the severall Authors there cited to this purpose All which particulars of late years discontinued and almost quite abandoned are now fit to be revived in all succeeding Parliaments 12. It is observable that our Parliaments now and then either out of hatred envy passion or compliance with some potent ambitious popular swaying Lords and Grandees have most unjustly illegally condemned executed banished fined sentenced oppressed sundry Innocent some well deserved persons without just cause trial or due conviction of any real Crimes whose Sentences thereupon have been justly questioned damned reversed in succeeding Parliaments not only out of Grace and Favour but Justice and common Equity of which you may finde sundry presidents in this Abridgement 13. That all such Parliaments and ambitious self-seekers in them who under a pretence of publike Reformation Liberty the peoples ease or welfare have by indirect surmises policies practices force and new devices most usurped upon the Lawfull Prerogatives of their Kings or the Persons Lives Offices Estates of such Nobles Great Officers and other persons of a contrary party whom they most dreaded maligned and which have imposed New Oaths or Engagements on the Members to secure perpetuate and make irrevocable their own Acts Iudgments and unrighteous proceedings have alwayes proved most abortive successeless pernicious to themselves and the activest Instruments in them the Parliaments themselves being commonly totally repealed nulled and the Grandees in them suppressed impeached condemned destroyed as Traytors and Enemies to the publike in the very next succeeding Parliaments or not long after witness the Parliaments of 15 E. 3.11 21 R. 2.38 39 H. 6. 1 H. 4. 1 E. 4. 1 R. 3. and some others here abridged 15 E. 3.

That Kings created and set up meerly by Parliaments and their own power in them without any true hereditary Title have seldom answered the Lords and Comons expectations in the preservation of their just Laws Liberties and answers to their Petitions yea themselves at last branded for Tyrants Traytors Murderers Usurpers their posterities impeached of High Treason and Disinherited of the Crown by succeeding Parliaments and King as you may here read at large in the Parliaments of King Henry 4. 1 H. 5. m. 8. 39 H. 6. 1 3 E. 4. 1 Rich. the 3d. and 1 H. 7. c. 6. From these 3. last Observations we may discern that as Parliaments are the best of all Courts Councils when duly summoned convened constituted ordered and kept within their legal Boundsâ— so they become the greatest Mischiefs Grievances to the Kingdom when like the Ocean they overflow their banks or degenerate and become through Sedition Faction malice fear or infatuation by divine Justice promoters of corrupt sinister ends or accomplishers of the private designs ambitious Interests of particular Persons under the disguise of publike Reformamation Liberty Safety Settlement according to that of Isay 19.13 14 15. The counsel of the wise Counsellors of Pharaoh is become brutish The Princes of Zoan are become fools the Princes of Noph are deceived they
to Paâ—liament being conceived by some upon good grounds not to be a direct summons of any Commoners or Knights of Shirâ—s to Parliament as Members but in another kinde when as we find VVrits of Summons to Parliament directed to Bishops and the Temporal Lords and Barons before 49 H. 3. without any such VVrits for â—nâ—ghts or Burgesses In what place the Commons usually assembled at first is uncertain but most likely it was in the Chapter House of of the Abbot of Westminster as is clear by 50 E. 3. n. 8. and other records How unable and unwilling the Commons were at first of themselves to advise in maâ—ters of Peace or Warr referring themselves usually herein to the King and Lords alone and desiring a special Committee of Lords to advise and direct them in most things else and how they got a Speaker and House of their own at last in the dotage of King Edward the 3. and nonage of Richaâ—d the 2. and then proceeded by degrees to meddle with the greatest affairs of the State Court and Crown being set on by some ambitious Lords to promote their designes thereby you may observe throughout this Abridgement of which the Table will render you a more particular account What use the Lords made of the Commons and their Speakers to curb the King and his greatest Officers Minions Favourites you may here read at large in the Parliaments of 50 E. 3. of 1 3 5 7 10 11 R. 2. 1 H. 4.28 33 38 39 H. 6. And how King Rich. 2. made use of them to suppresse his Domineering Lords and King Edward the 4. used them as his Instruments to curb suppress both King Hen. the 6. and the Lords that were opposite to him you may observe in the Parliaments of 21 R. 2 33 39 H. 6. 1 Ed. 4. especially n. 38 39. in his Speech there made unto the Commons By whose assistance he was restored to the Crown and soon after to all the Lands and Revenues alienated from it by Acts of Resumption Whereupon he promised the Commons in Parliament with his own mouth To live of his own without charging them and left off all gathering of money and Impositions on them as the only thing which withdraws the hearts of the English from their Prince receiving onely Tonnage and Poundage and but some 3. or 4. Disms and Quindisms of small value which they freely granted him towards his wars during all his 23 years reign A president worthy present and future imitation for the oppressed peoples ease especially after so many yeares uncessant heavy Taxes of all sorts extorted from them rather for private ends than the publike Interest and Welfare of the Kingdom What other particulars of Note touching the Commons Lords or Parliament affairs occurr in this Abridgement the Table will more punctually inform the Reader I shall only further observe that in all the Parliaments of King Ed. 3. R. 2. H. 4 5 6. Ed. 4 and R. 3. here abridged the Commons House never claimed nor exercised any such Jurisdiction as hath been usurped by it of late years in some particulars of moment 1. They never presumed nor pretended to make print or publish any Act Ordinance Order whatsoever relating to the people Kingdom or own Members without the Kings and Lords precedent approbation and concurrence 2. They never attempted to impose any Tax Tallage Charge Impost Excise or Duty whatsoever on the people without the Lords and Kings assent 3. They never adventured to appoint any special Committees or Sub Committees to hear examine determine any particular businesse or complaint before without any Report thereof to the whole House of Commons nor without the privity and assent of the House of Lords by way of transmission or impeachment to their Superiour Authority and Judicature An intollerable Grievance of puny times 4. They never attached fined imprisoned or censured any Person by their own authority without the Lords as they have done hundreds of late years 5. They never presumed to seclude or secure any of their own Members nor yet finally to judge of the Legality or Illegality of their Elections nor of the breach of their Privileges by imprisonment or otherwise of which the King and Lords were antiently sole Iudges as is evident by 16 R. 2. n. 6. 12 R. 2. n. 23. 1 H. 4. n. 79. 4 H. 4. n. 19 20. 5 H. 4. n. 71.78 c. 5. 8 H. 4. 13.

They were always Petitioners to the King Lords for publike Laws Grievances and private Persons but very seldom petitioned unto upon any occasion as you may observe throughout this Abridgment some of the first Petitions to them being those of the Upholsters and Merchant Adventurers of London whereon Acts were made mentioned in the printed Statutes of 11 H. 7. c. 19. 12 H. 7. â— 6. since the Parliaments here abbreviated 7. Though they had the free Election of their Speakers granted them yet they alwayes of course presented their Speakers to the King and Lords at their appointed time who had power to allow of them and their excuses or to disallow and discharge them when elected yea to enjoyn them to elect present another Speaker when the former through sicknes imprisonment or other impediment was disabled or discharged as is evident by 1 H. 4. n. 62 63 64 1 H. 5. n. 9 10 11.15 H. 6. n. 10.27 28 H. 6. n. 6 7. 32 H. 6. n. 6.25 26 27 28 29. and Cookes 4 Instit. p. 8. 8. They alwayes stood bare-headed when they repaired to the Lords House upon the first day of the Parliament Conferences Passing of Bils Messages or any other Occasions when as the Lords sate covered 8 R. 2. n. 2. which custome continued so long as the Lords House sate even till 1648. 9. They never did nor could of right administer an Oath to Witnesses or others examined by the whole House or Committees as the Lords House usually did 7 R. 2. n. 14. Plac. Coron 1 H. 4. n. 10. They had no Vote Iudicature in Writs of Error brought in Parliam returnable only before and tryed in and by the Lords House alone nor yet in Criminall Causes upon Impeachments wherein the Lords alone were Iudges in cases both of Peers and Commoners as I have proved at large in my Plea for the Lords Which the Commons themselves acknowledged 1 H. 7. n. 79. and you may here observe throughout this Abridgement To close up this Preface I dare affirm that the several Treatises of our English Parliaments formerly published by Sir Tho.

Forasmuch as neither King Iohn nor any other King could bring his Realm and Kingdom in such thraldom and subjection but by common assent of Parliament the which was not done And therefore that which he did was against his Oath at his Coronation besides many other causes If therefore the Pope should attempt any thing against the King by process or other matters in deed that the King with all his Subjects should with all their force and power resist the same At this present day the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge and Fryers of the four Orders Mendicants in the said Universities made long complaint one against the other to the King in Parliament and in the end submitted themselves to the Kings Order After which the Lords upon full digesting tâ—e whole matâ—er by assent of Parliament took order That as well the Chancellor and Schollers as the the â—riars of those Orders in the said Universities should in all Graces and other School-Exercises use each other in friendly wise without any rumor as before And that none of those Orders should receive any Scholar into their said Orders being under the age of eighteen years That the Friars should take no advantage nor procure any Bull or any other Process from Rome against the said Universities or proceed therein That the King have power to redress all Controversies between them from henceforth and the offenders to be punished at the pleasure of the King and of his Council The Parliament continued until Monday the 11. of May The Chancellor then declared how the King had married the Lady Isabel his daughter to the Lord Cowcy who had fair living in England and elswhere and that it were for the honor of the King to create him an Earl which all the Lords thought good but for that the King was not determined of what name there was no more therein done At this time Sir Thomas Ludlow Chief Baron of the Exchequer shewed to the whole Estate how William the son and heir of William Stevens who held diversly of the King in chief as of the Crown had by Writ of Aetate probanda sued out Livery out of the Kings hands whereas the said William the son for long time should be within age as by a long Schedule may appear Whereupon the whole Estate upon sight of the said William the son adjudged him to be within age and therefore took order that all his hereditaments so sued out of the Kings hands should be eftsoons reseised into the Kings hands untill his full age and that all Obligations Charters Statutes Recognisances and all other Writings made by the said William the son should be void Note the Judgment is strange This done the King gave thanks to the whole Estates and licensed every one to depart and so the Parliament ended Anno Quadragesimo secundo Edwardi Tertii Rex primogenito suo Edwardo Principi Aquitaniae Walliae c. apud Westmonasterium primo die Maii.

Year of King Edward the third THe same day most of the Lords and many of the Commons were before the King in his own Chamber where for that sundry of the Lords and Commons were not come Proclamation was made in the great Hall at Westminster that all such as were summoned to the Parliament should be there the next morning by eight of the clock At which day Sir Iohn Kâ—evit Knight Chancellor of England before the King Lords and Commons declared the causes of the Parliament to be three The first to provide for the Government of the Realm The second for the defence of the same as well beyond the Seas as on this side as well by Sea as by Land The third how he might prosecute his quarrel by War against his Enemies and maintaining the same affirming that as the King had always in all his attempts followed their good counsel so he meant herein to do no less Wherefore he willed them to go together the Lords by their selves and the Commons by their selves and speedily to consult and give answer Receivers of Petitions for England Ireland Wales and Scotland Receivers of Petitions for Gascoyne and other places beyond the Seas and of the Isles Tryers of Petitions for England c. as above Tryers of Petitions for Gascoyne c. as above After that the Commons were willed to depart to their accustomed place being the Chapter house of the Abbot of Westminster whither they went Whereupon certain Lords and Nobles were appointed to go and consult with the Commons who are there particularly named The Lords and Commons do grant to the King the like Subsidies of Wooll Skins and Wool-Fells as were granted in the last Parliament to endure three years from the Feast of S. Michael next ensuing 47 E. 3. tit 7. An Order devised by the Commons that the King should have at least ten or twelve Councellors without whom no weighty matters should pass and for smaller matters at least six or four of them whereunto the King granted provided that the Chancellor Treasurer and Keeper of the privy Seal should by their selves end all matters belonging to their Offices and that these Councellors should take no rewards That no other of the Kings Officers or Ministers do take any reward for any matter touching their offices That report of matters of Council shall be made to the King by some one or two of the Council appointed and none others That all Ordinances made by the King and his Council shall be by all the Kings Officers executed That the Ordinances forbidding any man within London or elswhere to sell Sweet Wine by retail are repealed and that every Freeman may sell such Wines in London by retail So always that the Lord Mayor have the disposing thereof the price of the same The Commons afterwards in full Parliament making protestation of their due allegiance to the King declared That if he had faithful Councellors and Officers he could not but have passed all other Princes in treasure considering that the Ransoms of the Kings of Erance and Scotland were to him paid besides the great Subsidies here And therefore they require that falshoods and crafts of certain of the Kings Council and other persons may be tryed and punished which would long maintain his wars without any charge to the Commons And namely by trying of three points First of such of the Council as convey Staple-ware and Bullion to other places then to Calice for their own private turn Secondly of such as made shifts for money for the King deceitfully Thirdly of such as of Covin between certain of the Council and them bought of sundry the Kings Subjects debts due to the King to them for the tenth or twentieth penny Richard Lyons Merchant of London was accused by the Commons of divers deceits extortions and other misdemeanors as well for the time that he repaired to certain of the Kings Council as for the time that he was Farmer of the Kings Subsidy and Customs and namely obtaining Licences to convey over great Faizons of Wooll and Staple-ware for procuring new Impositions upon Staple-ware for devising the Change of Money for making the King for one Chevizance of Twenty marks to pay Thirty pounds for buying debts of divers men due to the King for small values for
and Commons assembled in the place aforesaid where the said Chancellor began his long Oration with S. Paul viz. Libenter suffertis insipientes and applied it That being wise desired to hear him the contrary He proceeded with Scripture as that every Messenger bringing joyful news is welcomed Thereby proving that he should be so for that he brought joyful news of the Kings good recovery of a dangerous sickness By the which he shewed that God loved the King and Realm The King for that quos diligo castigo The King by the Psalmist saying Uxor tua sicut vitis abundans in lateribus and thereby sheweth that for children no Christian Prince was so happy and confirmeth the said happiness by the above saying Et videas filios filiorum which the King saw That God thereby loved the Realm he proved by the recovery of so renowned a Prince and that his recovery to be the Fiftieth year of his Reign the year of Jubile the year of joy for that he would thereby impart to his said Subjects as well spiritual as temporal or bodily comforts He then by the similitude That if the head be sound and some particular member of the body diseased that the said infected member can receive no vertue or salve from the head inferreth that as the King being the sound head and willing to shew grace and favor to the Subjects the members the infected with vice cannot receive the same And therefore perswaded such as would be partakers thereof to conform themselves thereafter by having love without which he proveth by S. Paul that nothing doth avail He then turneth his speech to the Lords enlarging the cause whereby they were to think that the King dearly loved them forasmuch as at their requests since the last Parliament the King had advanced Richard there present to be Prince of Wales He then shewed what cause they had to embrace the said Prince by offering to him as the Princes of Cullen did to Christ all honor by throwing abroad money according to the order of the Pagans at the coming of their Prince by offering gold in token of riches and renown and myrrh in token of his honorable scepter He further sheweth that the same Prince should in their hands and hearts without all rancor be embraced and no otherwise then Simeon did Christ for that they had now seen that which long they had longed for and therein shewed how they should obey him as the Vicar and Legat of God that they might see the true peace in Israel viz. in England the inheritance of God whereof after so great victories was great hope The cause of the Parliament he sheweth to be for that the French under colour of Truce granted by the King at the mediation of the Pope and yet enduring had allied himself with the Spaniards and Scots the Kings enemies and had prepared puissant and great Armies thereby conspiring to blot out the English tongue and Nation wherein the King willed to have their faithful counsel Wherefore the Chancellor willed them to go together and give a speedy answer After this Sir Robert de Ashton the Kings Chamberlain declared That he was to move them from the King for the profit of the Realm The which words percase lay not in the Bishops mouth for that they touched the Pope viz.

He took then for his Theame these words multitudo sapientum and thereby learnedly declared that by Councell every Realm was governed and resembled every man to the body of a man and applyed the right hand to the Church and the left hand to the Temporaltie and the other Members to the Commonaltie of all which Members and Estates the King being willing to have Councell had therefore called the same Parliament and that for sundry causes 3. First for the utter appeasing of Welch Rebellions for rebelling of the malice of the Duke of Orleance and the Earl of St. Paule who had bent themselves wholly against the King and the Realm and namely by their late arrivall in the Isle of Wight where they took the repulse To consider the imminent perill of the Marches of Callice Guienne and other like Dominions to remember the wars of Ireland and Scotland and not to forget to take an order touching the late Rebellions of Henry Percy and other their Adherents at the Battail of Shrewsbury and so willed the Commons to choose and the next day to present their Speaker 4.

On VVednesday the sixteenth of Ianuary the Commons came before the King and desired him to have regard to the charges for the repressing of the VVelch Rebels and keeping of the Sea to consult of the great charges of his House That the King and the Prince would give Liveries according to the Statute made 10. That the King would provide for the repayring of his Castles and Houses and namely for his Castle at Windsor which were greatly in decay and not to grant away the profits of those Castles and Houses and notwithstanding to stand to the repayring of the same without which he could not but run to the great charging of the Commons and to the subversion of the whole estate 11. On Friday the eighteenth day of February the Earl of Northumberland came into the Parliament before the King and the Lords and there by his Petition to the King acknowledged to have done against his allegiance and namely for gathering of power and giving of Liveries wherefore he prayeth pardon and the rather for that upon the Kings Letters he yeilded himself and came to the King into York whereas he might have kept himself away 12. The which Petition the King delivered to the Justices by them to be considered Whereupon the Lords made Protestation that the order thereof belonged to them And so they as Peers of this Parliament to whom such Judgement belonged in weighing the Statute of 27 E. 3. touching treasons and the Statute of Liveries made in this Kings time adjudged the same to be no treason nor Felonie but onely trespass fineable to the King 13. For which Judgement the said Earl gave great thanks to the King and Lords And at the request of the said Earl he the same Earl was then sworn to be true Liegeman to the King to the Prince the Kings eldest son and to the heirs of his body begotten and to every of the Kings Sons and to their issue succeeding the Crown of England according to the Laws and that done the King pardoneth the said Earl his Fine and Ransome 14.

And on this day the levying of War of the said Sir Henry Percie and others was adjudged treason by the King and Lords in full Parliament 16. At the request of the Commons the Lords accorded that four speciall persons should be removed out of the Kings House viz. the Kings Confessors the Abbot of Dore Master Richard Durham and Crosby of the Chamber Whereupon Saturday the ninth of February the said Confessor Durham and Crosbie came into the Parliament before the King and Lords where the King excused them saying that he then knew no cause wherefore they should be removed but onely for that they were hated of the people and therefore charged them to depart from his House according to the agreement and the like he would also have pronounced against the Abbot if he had been present 17. On the same Saturday the Commons gave great thanks to the King in full Parliament for the favour

whereas he was long before dead for which the said Earl by Parliament at Winchester was condemned and excuted The King restored the said Edmund the son to the blood and lands of the said Earl his

grace He was accordingly restored together with the Castle of Arundel which was given to Edmund late Earl of Kent the said Richard yielding the usual rents and saving to the King all such lands as

Castle and was not consenting thereunto he thereupon did put himself in trial of Twelve Knights there named who found the said Thomas not guilty or that he fled or withdrew himself thereupon but that he placed under him Thomas of Gornay and William of Ogle who murthered the said King Edward the Second Sir Eubal le Strange and Alice his wife late the wife of Thomas late Earl of Lancaster shew How upon the death of the said Earl all the hereditaments of the said Alice there named were seised into the Kings hands until the said Alice was inforced to release the same whereof some part of the same were granted to her during her life the remainder to Sir Hugh le Dispencer the younger Of all which they pray restitution The King giveth unto them in Fee heriditaments parcel of the same to the

de Lassey late Earl of Lincoln Sed non patet in Recordo William la Zouch of Mortimer and Elinor his wife pray to be restored to their lands in Glamorgan and Morganow in Wales the Manor of Hawley in the County of Warwick and the Manor of Tewksbury in Glouc. being the inheritance of the said Elinor the which they by the extort means of the late Earl of March were inforced to pass the same to the King by Fine In consideration of Ten thousand pounds the King restoreth them to their former estate Iohn Clavering is restored to the profits of the Manor of Massingham and Aswel-Thorp in Norff. as in the right of the Heir of Robert Thorp who held the same of him by Knights service and other Lands in Fee-farm of the King of the Escheat of Normand and not of any Tenure in Capite And by this it is proved that the said Heir held the moyety of the Mannor of Comb of the King by Knights service by Escheat and not in chief by Rent of Eleven pounds three shillings four pence and Fifteen shillings yearly Escuage For avoiding of inconveniences which might ensue by the debate between Sir Iohn Sherlton and Sir Geoffry de la Pool the King enjoineth them to keep the Peace duly It is enacted That all Sheriffs shall be removed and other therein placed and that general Commissions be awarded to enquire of the oppressions of Sheriffs Escheators and Coroners The like charge is given to the Earl of Arundel and Sir Iohn Carleton as before in the 20. for that debate was between them because the same Iohn was at the apprehension of the said Earls Father It is enacted That no Justice shall defer or
