Thorp as to his Grants but 10 l. per Ann. Fee-farm Rent the King resumes The Reader may observe from this Record 1 st That the Crown was become indebted to the Subjects in the Sum of 372000 l. 2 dly That the Crown-Revenue which in the Reign of Henry the Fifth was 56966 l. became reduc'd to 5000 l. per Annum so much had the Crown been robb'd and pillag'd during the Minority of this Religious but weak and unfortunate Prince 3 dly That the House of Commons thought it reasonable to relieve the King's Necessities out of his own and by an Act of Resumption rather than to charge the People with new Duties and Impositions 4 thly That the House of Commons thought it reasonable to make the Act so general that they inserted only Sixteen Reservations or Saving for others so much did they consult the Publick more than any private Interest 5 thly That the Commons desire the King to appropriate to the Expence of his Houshold the Lands so resum'd 6 thly That the King when he gave the Royal Assent to this Act reserv'd to himself the Power of putting in Writing while the Parliament sate certain Moderations and Restrictions to the said Act and the King in the said Assent excepts all Grants made as to Calais and Ireland The Writer of these Papers thought his Labour would not be unprofitably spent to give an Abstract of the Restrictions and Moderations which the King's Council believ'd at that time necessary in an Act which was to be so very general and extensive In these Savings which are in Number 185 the Reader has before his Eyes a perfect Image of the Gravity Care Exactness and Frugality of that Age. Most of the said Savings relate to Patents for Employments or for Lands rather restor'd than granted or for some Liberties and Franchises or for Lands given to Religious Uses all which were affected by the Act. In some of the Proviso's the Value of the Grant is mention'd and in others omitted but the general Exactness which runs through the Whole is a Mark that where the Value is not express'd 't was notoriously inconsiderable In many of the Savings there is something left and something taken away The Reader may likewise note That most of the Grants of that Age were only for Life Note In this Writing of Restrictions the King receeds from the Exception he made as to Calais when he gave the Royal Assent As in Saving 164. Note That the Great Earl of Shrewsbury who had done so many Heroick Actions and had so valiantly fought for the Honour of his Country had but 100 l. per Annum Pension for his Life and some Lands in Ireland then of no value the said Earl having had no other Recompence for his long Services which Moderation of his is a Reproach to the Avarice of the present Times vide Saving 26. Anno 29. Hen. 6. There was another Resumption made The Preamble agrees almost Word for Word with the fore-mention'd Act but the Acts differ when we come to the following Paragraph Rot. Parl. 29 H. 6. N o 17. And that all Lettres Patentes by you made in or of any of the Promisses to any persone or Persones of the which any Recoverer hath been hadde ayents the said Patentees or any other by Covin or Collusion that as well the Recoverer thereof as the Letters Patentes be void and of noon effecte And over that like it youre Highnesse to take resume seise and reteign in youre said Handes and Possession all Manner of Libertees Privileges
