Paris Catalogue of all the mistakes and all the mis-fortunes of his former government which coming to the people's ears soon stole away their hearts alienated their affections from their Soveraign and left him wholly to the mercy and will of his Parliament They sensible hereof and that the rains of Government were now cast upon their necks like Apollo's Horses when Phaeton had the driving of them ran violent by courses till they set the whole Kingdom on fire So far they went as to make an Ordinance That whereas there was present want of a through reformation in the State the Government thereof should be put into the hands of four and twenty Qui RegiÃ¢ potestare suffulti who being Armed with Soveraign power should take upon them the whole care and Government of the Kingdom should nominate and appoint the Chancellor Treasurer Chief Justices Governours of Forts Castles and Navy and all other great Officers and Ministers of State for all times to come Natth Westm. To this Traiterous Ordinance the King Metu incarcerationis perpetuae compulsus est consentire for fear of perpetual imprisonment was inforced to give his Royal assent And for further security to be content to give it under the great Seal and upon Oath that whensoever he attempted to assume unto him his Regal power Liceat omnibus de Regno nostro contra nos insurgere Chron.

Thus endeth that Famous Ordinance called to this day * Dictum de Kenelworth wherein are comprised the wisest rules that the wisest men of those times could possibly devise to uphold compose and recover a tottering distracted dying Kingdome The Barons of Cinque Ports seeing the King prosper made their peace with the King About two months after the publication of this Ordinance viz. upon Saint Thomas Eve the Castle was delivered up upon conditions too good for those that had so barbarously used the Kings Messenger contemned the King and impoverished the Country to march away with their goods and to undergo no fine for taking up Arms. This Castle had the King bestowed upon the Earle of LeicÃ¨ster in franke marriage with his sister Elionor but when the Earle by his Rebellion had forfeited and the King had now won it he gave it to his own Sonne Edmund Earle of Lancaster who by this time had reduc'd the Isle of Axholme and all those rude ignorant people that flockt thither pillaging and plundering the Kings friends round about The Prince also met with Adam Gurdon a famous sturdy Rebell that lay lurking in Aulton Wood in Hampshire robbing and spoyling the adjacent parts PrecipuÃ¨ terras eorum qui parti Regiae adhaerebant Rishanger the Prince upon his approach hearing of his valour sent him a Challenge for a single Combate Gurdon accepts it and performed it so gallantly that the Prince assur'd him of his life and estate if he would submit which he did and was received into great favour with the Prince but divers of his men were there executed Now the Isle of Ely was strongly fortified by a great multitude got together that refused to submit to the Ordinance of Kenelworth Upon the naturall strength of this Isle and the plenty of all provision therein seditious Rebels have often presumed and from hence have molested more Kings then one as they did now the neighbouring Counties robbing and pillaging Norfolk Sussolk and Cambridgeshire plundering the City of Norwich and carrying away the richest Citizens made them redeem themselves at length a message was sent unto them requiring them to submit to the Ordinance of Killingworth to leave off robbing their fellow subjects and to return to their allegiance Hereto they return this insolent answer That they had taken up arms to defend the good of Church and State and therefore ought to be restored to theâ—r lands without paying any fine In briefe they require hostages into the Island and that they might hold it five years peaceably till they saw how the King would performe his promises perfidious subjects ever suspect their Princes fidelity which high insolency of theirs unheard of till our times so exasperates the King that he resolves to try the utmost to reduce them to their obedience for that purpose marches with a mighty Army against them the Prince also joyns with a considerable power after many assaults at length after they had held it above two yeers by the help of new made bridges and boats they stormed it on every side that they were forced to yield And now men thought the fire was quite out But there were yet some live embers which the Earle of Glocester upon some distaste blowing suddenly flamed out again in London where the Commons of the City forgetting their late punishment and as men saith mine Author without dread of God or the King drew up in arms again flock'd to the Earle of Glocester Fabian plundered the well-affected to the King sequestred their estates brake the Prisons chose a new Mayor and Sheriffes made Bulwarks and Barbicans and fortefied the City wonderously and were so confident of their strength and cause that they durst bid the King battell appointing Hounsloe-health for the field The King by a speedy march came to the place at the time appointed but they instead of meeting his Majesty ran about the City in a tumultuos manner Some to Westminster and there plundered the Kings Pallace fenestras ostia fregerunt saith Mat. W stm vix manus a cembustione totius Palatii cohibentes brake the doors and windows hardly forbearing to set it all on fire Then the King removed his camp to the other side of the City and had his head quarters at Stratford three miles off the City the rest of his Army lay at Ham a village hard by The wiser Citizens foreseeing the danger that hung over them desired a treaty with the King whereunto though they were most unworthy of so much clemency his Majesty was graciously pleased to condescend and upon these easie terms they were again received to mercy Imprimis Salvo in omnibus dicto Killingworthi that the Ordinance of Killâ—ngworth should be observed in all points then that the fortifications should be razed and the trenches filled up lastly that 1000. Marks dammages should be paid down to the Kings brother for his Mannor of Isleworth fired by them long before Also his Majesty for some years following chose the Mayor and Sheriffs himselfe but toward the latte end of his Reign being fully reconciled he restored them their often forfeited * Then did the â—ing command that Peace should be proclaim'd all the Kingdome over which was received with joyful acclamations Priviledges Thus after the Almighty whose judgements are unsearchable had suffered crafty seditious spirits to seduce a whole Nation to trample upon his Anointed and to tread his Honour in the very dust for a time yet at length all his enemies are clothed with shame and upon himself his Crown flourisheth again And now after this furious dreadfull tempest after so many storms and showers of blood began a joyful long-expected Calm which that they might enjoy without any intervening of more stormes and for the better setling and quieting the Kingdom the King gives expresse command for the razing of divers in-land Castles as Farnham c. That so if another Rebellion should be begotten it might no where find a Nurse and then it could not be long-liv'd Also for the more quiet and secure travelling of his Subjects he appoints a Captain in every County who with a Troop of Horse should alwaies assist the Sheriff for the taking and punishing all stragling reliques of the late Armies and high-way robbers wherewith the Kingdome did abound at that time no place free from them In some places also Ruricolae saith Râ—shanger the Country people would generally rise against them as against Wolves or Bears and at one time they took and kill'd fifty of them that were got together neer St Albans in Hartfordshire Besides the King Proclamari

her ancient Priviledges and Liberties and the Ringleaders of them juxta voluntatem ipsius Regis plecti to suffer such punishment as his Majesty was pleased to inflict Et ditiores Civitatis in carcerem truderentur saith Matth. Westm pro eo quod Simoni in Regis contemptum etiam damnum Regni fortiter adhaeserint that the wealthier Citizens should be cast in prison because they had in contempt of his Majesty and great dammage and mischief of the Realm assisted the Earl Furthermore it was there enacted that all such as had favoured the Rebels were they now in prison or at large should forfeit all their estates Afterward the King marcht with a great power to Windesore resolving as the fame then went to destroy the whole City of London Many of the Rabble and wild Commoners saith Fabian were as resolved to defend the City against him but the wiser sort thought better to become humble petitioners for their pardon of what was past than to incense his Majesty any farther and to that end drew up an humble Petition and presented it to the King but their late rebellious carriage had so far pâ—ovoked his Mâ—jesties patience that he would not so much as admit of their Petition or hearken to any that endeavoured to mediate for them Hereupon they were advised to draw up an Instrument or wâ—iting wherby they should yield themselves wholly both bodies and goods to the Kings mercy which was done accordingly and seased with the Common Seal of the City His Majesty upon earnest suit unto him accepted hereof giving present expresse command that all the Chains and Posts which they had placed at every street and lanes end should be forthwith carried to the Tower and that the Mayor and Fourty of the chiefe Citizens should repair unto him the next day and confirm their said writing this was done and they all came accordingly but contrary to their expectation though not deserts were all delivered into the custody of the Constable of Windesore Castle and shut up there in a lage Tower where they had small cheer and worse lodging The next day toward night all but five whereof the Mayor was one had their enlargement Those five their bodies and goods were as a boone bestowed on the Prince the rest were commanded to attend at Wâ—ndesore for a long time after Sixty or seventy wealthy Cicizens with all their Lands Goods and Cattles did the King dispose to his household-servants For the Government of this unruly City the King appointed one Othon a forreiner or stranger first Constable of the Tower and then Custos or Warden of the City to pull down their haughty rebellious spirits and that his peace for the future might be surely kept he required the best mens sons in the City for Hostages These he clapt up in the Tower and caused them to be there kept at the cost and charges of their Parents Daily suit was made unto his Majesty for his Pardon and Favour but in vain then they petition the King to know his gracious pleasure what Fine he would demand of the whole City for their offences against him The King at length signified unto them that the summe of Fifty thousand Marks should be their Fine Whereunto the Londoners return this humble answer They had been of late by this unhappy War * Long before the discovery of the West-Indyes so exceedingly impoverished that a summe so great as it was in those times could not possibly be raised amongst them wherefore they humbly beseeched his Princely compassion might be so farre extended towards them as to require and accept according to their abilities At length after much suit and submission and a Fine of twenty thousand Marks the King received them to mercy and sent them under his Great Seal a generall Pardon those onely excepted whose estates were already bestowed granting and allowing that their former Charter and ancient Priviledges should be restored unto them notwithstanding all the transgressions they are the words of the Pardon and trespasses done to Us to our Queen to our noble brother Richard King of Almaine and the Prince our first begotten son And here was the first pacification betwixt the King and the Londoners for whom wee may say thus much That their foul Rebellion againg their Soveraign was not more detestable then their humble submission to their Soverain was commendable And therefore in the Ordinance called Dictum de Keneâ—worth made for the setling of the Kingdom we find them notwithstanding all their disloyalty commended as shall be seen in the ensuing Story After the proud stomach of this City was brought down and all tumultuous spirits quelled the King calls his Parliament in festo Sancti Edvardi Regis to Westminster wherein those that aided and assisted the Earl were all excepting the Londoners attainted and that all theit Lands and Goods were forfeited But this Sentence though it was lesse than they deserved yet was more than they would endure and therefore the fire that was not yet quencht but smothered breaks forth again Some flie into the Isle Ely and fortifie that Some into the Isle of Axholme in Lincolnshire Another party possesse themselves of Killingworth Castle Another under the command of the Lord Ferrers in the Northern parts And amongst others one Adam Gurdon lived as an Outlaw in Hampshâ—re * Rishanger tum rarus aut nullus locus in Anglia fuit tutus eÃ² quod terra erat vespilionibus plena Now scarce any place in England was free from plunderers To reduce these to obedience the King undertakes Kâ—llingworth Castle The Prince was sent against Adam Gurdon Lord Edmond the Prince's brother against those in Axholme And Lord Henry the King of Almaines son against the Lord * This Lord Henry the Kings Nephew was a valiant Souldier and having found out the Lord Ferrers at Chesterfield gave him battel over threw him and because he had been pardoned once before it was decreed that he should be degraded and depived of his Earldom for ever and fined fifty thousand pounds Ferreres To the Rebels in Kâ—llingworth Castle the King sent first a gracious message willing them to desist and return to their obedience But they contrary to all Law of Arms contrary to naturall civility cur off the Messengers hand and sent him back with an uncilil answer Then the King marcht to Killingworth and sate down before it upon Midsummer Eve During the Siege which lasted six Moneths Clerus populus convocantur duodecim eliguntur de potentioribus
