H. 5. and H. 6. to bee passed by warrant under the Kings hand and upon some Considerat●on And H. 7. renewed this course using Dudley as his instrument to compound with Suitors for those and any other places and by that Record we finde the Chancellor the chiefe Iustice the Keeper of most of the Record the Clerks of the Assizes and peace the Masters of the game and Parkes and what else carrying either profit or reputation paid to the King Familius in vita Lewis 12. some proportion of money for their places Neither is this different from the course of other States for in France Lewis the 12. called the father of his Countrey did so with all the Offices not being of Iudicature which his Successors did not forbeare Vasques C. 12 40 43.
