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.

Richardi Secundi The Parliament holden at Westminster the day after All Souls in the fifth year of King Richard the Second FOr that this year All Souls fell on Saturday the Parliament was adjourned until Munday ensuing on which Munday the King and many Bishops and Lords came but for that sundry Sheriffs made no return of their Writs the Parliament was adjourned untill Tuesday after on which day the King and Lords and Bishops came into the White Chamber at Westminster and caused the names of the Knights and Burgesses to be called where upon the default of sundry of them the Parliament was therefore adjourned unto Wednesday after On which Wednesday for that great debate rose between the Duke of Lancaster and the Earl of Northumberland so as great force of arms men and Archers armed in warlike manner on both sides came to the Parliament whereof great complaint being made to the King the King with his Councel and Nobles were much busied to appease the same the King therefore adjourned the same Parliament till Saturday after On that same Saturday the King being in Parliament and the Councel being called by their names William Cant. elect and confirmed Chancellor of England began to declare the cause of the Parliament taking for this his Theam Rex convenire fecit consilium whereupon in English he made a good Oration applying it to the good vertuous government of the King and of his reign affirming that no reign could long endure if vice reigned therein the which to redress by this Parliament that could not be by the order of the other Law the King therefore had called the same Receivers of petitions for England Ireland and Scotland Receivers of petitions for Gascoin and other places beyond the Seas and of the Isles Triers of petitions for England c. as above Triers of petitions for Gascoin c. as above The which done the Chancellor declared That on Munday the cause of the Parliament should more especially be declared willing all men therefore to attend The Wednesday after but certainly it should seem to be the Munday the Commons were all called by their names within the Chamber Blank where Sir Hugh Segrave Treasurer of England by the Kings Commandment remembred the Oration of the Archbishop of Canterbury and said that the especiall cause was to maintain the liberties of the Church and to provide for the observation of the peace and namely to punish the horrible tumults and rebellion made against the King in those tumults who was enforced to grant manumissions to the bondmen and others of the Realm as on them having Kingly power under the Great Seal of England The which he knowing to be done against Law willed them to seek remedy accordingly due for the confirmation or revocation thereof In the end he touched the Kings great want whereof certain of the Council should make them privy And so wishing them thereof to have due consideration wished the Commons to depart to their accustomed place within the Abby of Westminster The Monday after in the third day of the Parliament being the eighteenth day of November the Commons came into the Parliament to present Sir Richard Walsgrave knight whom they had chosen their Speaker who excused himself and desired to be discharged of the office whereunto the King on his allegiance willed him to stand being chosen by his companions Thereupon the said Sir Richard maketh the common protestation He then required a more full declaration of the Kings meaning either by a mean rehearsal or by his repetition The King therefore appointed Sir Richard le Scroop knight and created Chancellor to do the same who did so and namely touching the Repeal of the Manumissions made to the Bondmen Whereto all the Commons cryed with one voice that the Appeal was good and lawful adding That such infranchisement could not pass without their consents and so upon the prayer of the Commons the same Repeal was by assent confirmed Certain Bishops Lords and Nobles upon the request of the Commons are appointed to confer with them After this Conference the Commons thought it good that the King would grant a general Pardon to the offenders in these tumults The Commons require That of the particular consultations of the Bishops Lords and Justices a hearing might be brought to them Whereunto was answered that the old custom was that the Commons should bring to the Lords their conceits and devises and not to the contrary The which the King would should be observed The Commons afterwards coming into the Parliament and making their protestation shewed that for want of good redress about the Kings person in his houshold in all his Courts touching Maintainers in every County and Purveyors the Commons were daily pilled and nothing defended against the Enemy and that it would shortly deprive the King and undo the whole State Wherefore in the same Government they intirely require remedy Whereupon the King appointed sundry Bishops Lords and Nobles to sit in Privy Council about these matters Who since that they must begin at the Head and go at the request of the Commons they in the presence of the King charged his Confessor not to come into the Court but upon the four

And whereas in a Battel at Durham divers of them were slain and some of their Chieftains as David de Brays William Douglas and others were by force there taken and are in the Kings power that he will be pleased so to take order with them by his Councel that he and his people be not in little danger and that they may give surety for their good behaviour The King by advice de ses Grantz will provide so as shall be best Whereas the Staple of Wooll which is holden at Bruges in Flanders hath used to be free so as all Merchants might there freely buy merchandise and carry the same from thence whither they lift by Land or Sea and now the same freedom is restrained so as none can freely buy and carry from thence according to the antient usage with them of Flanders and Brabant And they of Brabant cannot bring their Wools bought in the Staple out of the Town of Bruges without sureties that the Wools shall be uttered in the Country of Brabant or that they bring Letters from the Town of Bruges without sureties in what Town of Brabant those Wools shall be uttered whereby the price of Wooll is much abased Also the three good Towns of Flanders Gant Bruges Ipre will not suffer the small Towns which were wont to buy great quantities of Wools to make Cloth but do destroy their Instruments to the abasement likewise of the price of Wools. Also the paiment of Gold is at so high a price in those parts that a man shall lose in Exchange the third penny and more for which matters it may please the Parliament to provide remedy The King will that the Ordinance of the Staple shall be viewed and that Thomas Melchburn with whom the Patent touching that Ordinance doth remain be called to bring the same with him and that some Merchants of the Country who best understand this matter and the King by advice of his Council will provide remedy Whereas in a Council holden by Lionel the Kings son the Guardian of England it was in the 21 year of the King ordered without the Commons That for keeping the Realm and safe conduct of ships should be taken upon every sack of Wooll passing the seas two shillings upon every Tun of Wine two shillings upon every pound Desavoires brought back into the Realm six pence and this charge to continue until Michaelmas next coming which charge is yet demanded
that the King will be pleased that the same charge may be let fall and to write his Letters to the Collectors thereof that it cease All Charges supposed in this Article are laid down except Two shillings upon the Sack which is to endure until Easter next And forasmuch as these Charges were ordained for safe Conduct of Merchandises into the Realm and forth to Foreign parts upon which Conduct the King hath spent much which before Michaelmas cannot woll be levied it seemeth that the levying of it for so small a time to come should not be grievous That where the Plaintiff in Writs of debt or trespass doth record he may have execution of the Land which the Defendant had the day of the Writ purchased This cannot be done without a Statute upon which the King will advise with his Councel and will do that which he shall think best for his people Whereas in a Statute made Anno primo of the King it is contained that none of the Lords Councellors or Ministers shall maintain any plea or quarrel depending in Court or elsewhere within the Realm in which Statute no pain is in certain ordained for the Offendors that in such case certain pain may by Parliament be proved Of some Articles comprised in this Petition certain names are ordained and where no pain is provided in certain by Law is intended fine and ransome to the King according the quantity of the trespass That whereas some Justices have lately adjudged matters before them to be Treason and accroachment of royall power that it may be be declared in this Parliament what incroachment of royall power shall be whereby the Lords shall lose the profit of forfeiture of their Tenants and the partie arraigned the benefit of Clergy In case where such Judgements are given the points of such Treason and accroachment are given or declared by the same judgement Whereas in the Parliament holden in the 17 year of the Kings reign and in the Parliament next before this it was accorded and granted by the King and his Councel that for the great charges which the Commons did bear yearly as by Fifteenths Ninths and Wools Commissions should not go out of the Chancery as for hobeleries archeries taking oâ— victuals nor Commissions to extend the Lands dez certeniz getz beyond the sum of a certain value nor to levie other charges upon the people if the same were not granted in Parliament which Ordinances are holden for nothing whereby the people are wholly impoverished wherefore they prayed the King to be pleased to take pitty of his people and to affirm and hold those Ordinances made to his people in Parliament And that if such Commissions go forth of the Chancery without assent of Parliament such as find themselves grieved may have Writs to â—urcease according to the said Ordinance and that the people be not bound to obey such Commissions If any such imposition be made the same was made upon great necessity and with the assent of the Prelates Counts Barons auters grauntz and some of the Commons then present notwithstanding the King will not that such undue Impositions be drawn into consequence but will that the Ordinances in this Petition mentioned be well kept And as touching the taking of Victuals saving the Kings prerogative his will is That agreement be made with such of whom the same are and shall be taken Because of Franchises have for time past been so largely granted by the King that almost all the Land is infranchised to the great arereisement estenysement of the Common Law and to the great oppression of the people That the King will restrain such grants hereafter The Lords will take Order that such Franchises as shall be granted shall be with good advice That Letters granted at the request dez gentz and others de sautz le large nostre le Roy be not hereafter granted that yet the Law be done according to the Statute The King is pleased that the Statute of Northampton shall be kept Whereas false money of Bursborns doth daily increase by reason of the Justices of Assize appointed to try find out and determine such falsity come so late and keep Assize so short that they cannot try find out and determine the said falsity That the King will provide remedy therefore and that the offendors may be drawn and hanged as falsifiers of money as in the last Parliament was ordained and that such Ordinance may hold as well for time past as time to come and that the King will gant no pardon for such falsifying and Treason and if any be granted that the same may be disallowed before the Justices The King is pleased that Gentz de la terre which Justices and others to them called shall be assigned to enquire hear and determine the points contained in the Petition and to do therein rightâ— and to keep the Peace in the Countries where they shall be assigned que les guerres inquisitionse facent de temps passe de temps pius And it is not meant that such Charter shall be granted hereafter le greement and if any have in time past been granted the Justices before they shall be granted may advise with the King before they allow thereof That whereas divers Tallages and Subsidies have been granted to the King in aid of his business in divers business for levying whereof three or four of the best in every County have by good Councel been assigned who have done the same in good manner according to their Commissions and have their accounts fully in the Exchequer according to Law and afterwards evill Berrectors have suggested to the Court and have caused some of the Collectors to come again into the Exchequer to receive the accounts before given and allowed not fuffering them to acquit themselves nor to take issue according to Law but do there keep them from day to day and from Term to Term and do restrain them by Mainprise contrary to Law not suffering them to make Attornies as the Statute willeth that all men may make Attornies in all cases where there is appeal wherefore the Commons pray that such accusers be not heard in Court to accuse and keep men without due Information or Indictment and that they may make Attornies in such cases If Account be given in which by Information of good and lawfull persons concealment or other default or recitation is It is reason that it shall be recited And the Lords will that hanging such retainment they may make Attornies so as the Attorney be answerable to the Lords and all others that complain

taking special bribes to pay some the Kings due debt by way of brokage All which he should do by practising with some of the Council To some part of which Articles the same Richard answereth and to the rest submitteth himself to the King touching body lands and goods Whereupon the same Richard is committed to prison at the Kings will and that all his lands tenements and goods be seised to the Kings use And to the extortions done by him while he was Farmer of the Subsidies and Customs Order was taken that by Commission throughout England it should be enquired of Also the same Richard was disfranchised William Lord Latimer was openly accused by the Commons for divers oppressions by him done as well while he served under the King in Britain as for the time he was Chamberlain to the King and his Councel namely for that he in Brittain and his Officers had taken of the people there in Victual and ransomes against the Kings will to the sum of twenty four thousand pound and at another time one hundred thousand pound estentes of gold whereof was never answered to the King one penny The particulars whereof do appear The same Lord Latimer was also accused for victual sold in Britain to the value of ten thousand Franks The same Lord Latimer was also accused for the losse of the Town and Fort of S. Saviours in Normandie while he was Captain there and of the Town of Brotherel in Brittain and of other Towns and Forts The same Lord was accused as a partaker of all the evils of Richard Lyons aforesaid particularly Whereunto the said Lord Latimer saving the tryall of his Peers offered to answer any particular persons but that would not the Commons do but generally as is aâ—oresaid Whereupon the said Lord answered every Objection and as it should seem very well avoided them in open Parliament notwithstanding there was the judgment of him in form following For that the Lord Latimer is found in full Parliament in default by his singular Councel and government against the profit of the King and Realm and namely for divers Chevisances to the Kings losse for grants procured to the destruction of the Staple and of the Town of Callis and for divers Impositions laid upon Wools he was awarded in full Parliament by the Bishops and Lords to be in prison in the keeping of the Marshall and to make fine and ransom at the Kings pleasure whereupon the Commons required that he might lose all his Offices and no longer be of the Kings Councel which the King granted And the said Lord Latimer in Parliament found certain Lords and others his Mainprisors for the forth coming of his body during the Parliament as by a Schedule doth appear and by this Mainprize the Marshall of England so offered him to be at large In the Schedule are his Mainprisors viz. one Archbishop three Bishops one Prior of S.

with this adjunct that for as much as Clerks cannot have their remedy therefore as the Statute would that therefore they shall have their Actions against such Purveyors by way of Trespass and thereby recover treble damages mentioned in the Statute The Sheriffs and Escheators with their Wives and Servants and horse do over-charge poor religious houses and over that do exact great sums of money of them The Statutes therefore made shall be observed The print touching Tithes and Oblations cap. 13. doth in part agree with the Record but not altogether quod nota That upon consultation granted of a pension brought by one person against another all depending before the Ordinary that the same Ordinary may fully decide the cause onely The King will charge the Justices to search forth the old Records and to do thereafter That no prohibition be granted before the whole circumstance of the matter be fully examined in the Chancery No prohibition shall be granted other then heretofore hath been and what ever was appointed in the last Parliament shall stand The Print touching tythes and Averments ca. 14. doth not altogether agree with the Record quod nota That the Ordinary may freely discuss every conditional consultation Let it be as it hath been That upon a prohibition for Tythes of Sylva cedua there may be readily granted a consultation and that neither the Judge neither the party pursuant be impeached therefore It shall be as it hath been That all men flying to the Church-yard or other holy places may enjoy the priviledge thereof without any temporal Watch or Ward No man shall make any ward but one of the Chancery The Print touching Arrests in Churches c. cap. 15. much swerveth from the Record which note Petitions for the City of London That all their Liberties with this clause Licet 2. any Statute notwithstanding may be confirmed To the first the King granteth to the second he will view the contraries and do thereafter They require that no stranger within the same Liberty do buy or sell any Merchandize of another stranger in pain of forfeiture The King willeth the same between Merchant and Merchant onely saving the Liberties of the Merchants of Aquitain That they attend upon no commandment of any the Kings Officers but onely at the Kings suit being sealed with the Great Seal or Privy except the Kings Justices according to their Charter Let it be continued as heretofore hath been It is enacted that the Citizens of London shall by their selves enquire of Customs Impositions and purprestures happening or arising within the City of London It is enacted that the Mayor and Chamberlain of London for the time being shall have the keeping of all the Lands and Goods of such Orphans as happen within the said City Saving to the King and other Lords their right of such as hold of them out of the same Liberty That the interpretation of any word or sentence touching their said Liberties which may severally be taken may be taken according to the intent and claim of the said Citizens Interpretation of Charters belong unto the King wherein if any doubt shall arise the King by advice will make interpretation according to reason That the City of London may enjoy all such Liberties as any other Town in the Realm if they have any other then the said Citizens have Let them declare the especial matter and they shall have answer That no protection Royal be allowed in debt account or Trespass wherein a Free-man of London is ten pounds For victual bought after the voyage or service whereof the protection mentioneth or for debt or contract after the date of such protection purchased the King granteth That no man condemned and laid in Newgate for any debt to any Citizen be removed to answer to the King in the Exchequer unless that the Kings debt be first to be due The King hath appointed the Barons and Officers of the Exchequer so to deal It is to be required that for any answer here given the Kings will is that the Citizens of London be in no wise restrained of any their Liberties or ancient Customs approved The Commons the last day of the Parliament by mouth required the Lords to have good regard that the King might have all such Lands as his Grandfather purchased to the ease of the Commons and also all the goods and Jewels of his said Grandfather considering what had been heretofore done in other Kings days in the like whereunto was made no other Answer but that the Lords wished the same for the Kings part and the soul of his said Grandfather The Parliament continued from day to day from the first day being the 13. of October this present year until the 18. of November in the same viz. in the whole 47 days At the which 18 day the Bills were read and the answers as aforesaid And so the King giving thanks to the Lords and Commons for their expedition and consideration of aid willed the Knights and Burgesses to sue forth their Writs for their Fees and so to depart And so ended this Parliament Anno Secundo Ricardi Secundi The Parliament holden at Westminster in the Quinden of Easter in the Second year of King Richard the Second IN the Quindena of Easter being the 25. of April the Duke of Lancaster and other Bishops and Lords assembled in the Kings Palace of Westminster attending of long time the coming of the King at the last for that certain Sheriffs had not made the return of their Writs the Parliament by the Kings commandment was continued untill the next day whereof Proclamation was made openly in Westminster-hall The next day being Tuesday for the cause aforesaid and for that sundry of the Bishops and Lords were then absent the Parliament by the Kings appointment was continued untill the next day The Wednesday following being the 27. of April the King with most of the Bâ—shops and Lords came into the Parliament into the Painted Chamber into the which the Commons were called before whom Sir Richard le Scroop Chancellor of England by the Kings appointment declared the causes of the Parliament vizâ— First was for the maintenance of the liberty of the Church Again for that in the end of the last Parliament the King had according to the order taken elected sundry Lords and others to be of his continual Council but for the sudden breaking up of the same Parliament he was not advised of the number which being chosen and sworn togethâ—r with the Nobles consulted about the Affairs of the Realm and the great dangers wherein the same was and weighing the great charges which the same needed would not fully determine the same without Parliament
but for that time agreed to prepare an Army of men and a Navy of Ships whereunto they lent the King great sums of money the which Navy and Army he had prepared and thereby remained to them and to divers good Cities and Towns in debt He therefore willed the Lords by themselves and the Commons by themselves to weigh the necessiâ—ies and to provide therefore and not to muse at the sudden calling of this Parliament considering the same was for the Kings honour and safety of the Realm He further sheweth how for the charges of the Wars born and to be born the Treasurers of the same were and shou'd be ready to make them privy Receivers of Petitions for England Ireland Wales and Scotland Receivers of Petitions for Gascoyne and other places beyond the Seas and for the forein Isles Tryers of Petitions for England c. as above Tryers of Petitions for Gascoyne c. as above Sundry Nobles are named to examine the Revenues arising of the Subsidy of Wooll and to examine all the Revenues of the Realm viz. the old Maletolt of Woolls the revenues of Priors Aliens and all other receits of the King whatsoever To examine what Fees the Nobles and Officers received in the beginning of E. 3. what Annuities were granted by E. 3. or the black Prince his Son to survey all the Kings Moveables and enquire of the same to view the expences of the Kings Houshold of Callice and other forelets and apparrelments of War the Revenues of Burdeaux the Subsidy of Cloth the possessions of Cardinals Rebells upon debts upon receits of wages for the Wars and of Rome-pence or Peter-pence and the arrerages due for many years So as the King release and ease them of the Subsidy on Staple ware granted in the last Parliament tit 29. and the 6d. of every 20. in Merchandize then granted tit 30. The Lords and Commons do there grant to the King the Subsidies of Woolls there granted in the said last Parliament tit 29. to endure for one year longer and a certain sum of money of every estate of the Realm from the highest to the lowest Only I note every Justice of the two Benches with the chief Baron to be 5 l. whereas no Earl was above 4 l. The Mayor of London paid 4 l. as an Earl every Alderman 40 s. as a Baron Every Advocate 40 s. as an Advocate at Law The King being in Parliament the 27 day of May released the demand aforesaid tit 23. thenceforth to cease William de Montacute Earl of Salisbury sheweth the whole Circumstances and process contained in the last Parliament tit 31 32 33. The Scire fac granted the last Parliament to warn Edmond Earl of March is rehearsed at large Upon the same Scire facias awarded to the Sheriff of Shropshire Iohn de Ludlow Sheriff of the same returned the said Edmond Earl of March to be warned Whereupon the said Earl of Salisbury by Sir Iohn de Monteacute one of his general Attorneys by Pattent the same Earl being beyond the Seas in the Kings service as also the said Edmond Earl of March came into this present Parliament and hearing the return of the said Writs and Process of the said Earl of Salisbury by his said Attorney proffered to assign the errors contained in the said Record The Earl of March being there present alledged that the Writ of Scire fac is not sufficiently served for that the Writ willeth the Sheriff to warn Edmond Mortimer Earl of March Son and Heir of Roger Mortimer late Earl of March the Son of Edmond de Mortimer and the Sheriffs return is that he hath warned Edmond Mortimer Earl of March Son and Heir of Roger de Mortimer Son of Edmond de Mortimer late Earl of March which cannot be intended the same person for that Edmond the Father of Roger de Mortimer was never Earl of March The Earl of Salisbury affirmeth the Return to be good and prayeth that upon assigning of examination of the Errors the Judgment may be reversed But for that the Parliament grew towards an end and weighty affairs were to be done for the King besides the difficulty of the matter the King gave day to either of the said parties to the next Parliament with all advantages and the matter to stand as it now doth King E. 3. of certain purchased Fee-simple lands infeoffed the Duke of Lancaster and others in fee by Deed and caused Livery and Seâ—sin to be delivered thereupon without condition by writing or word Long after the same King prayed the said Feoffees by mouth that therewith they should provide for the sustenance of the Friars of Langley and for the Nuns of Dertford and to provide perpetual Obit for the Countess of Huntington and another for the soul of the Countess-Marshal and for other charges Whereupon all the Justices and Serjeants to the King there named were straitly charged in full Parliament to say their knowledge whether the Charge thus made to the Feoffees after the Feoffment aforesaid should by Law be adjudged a Condition so as the said gift were made conditionally All who agreed that sithence there was nothing spoken before the gift upon the gift nor yet upon the livery that the Kings request after they were thus in possession could not make any condition whereby the Kings right is now thereby saved And note that this motion was made at the suit of the Executors of King E. 3. who were infeoffed as is aforesaid and receiving of the profits were forbidden the same Petitions of the Commons with their Answers The print touching the Confirmation of the liberties of the Church cap. 1. swerveth from the Record for the Record hath saving the Kings regality which is not in the print Besides the print is more large then the Record in other points otherwise the print touching the Great Charter and the Charter of the Forrest agreeth with the Record That Answer reasonable may be given to all their Petitions now or hereafter to be moved and that Statutes be thereupon made before the departure of every Parliament Such Bills as remedy cannot otherwise be had but in Parliament reasonable answer shall be thereto made before such departure That the perambulations of the Forrest may be newly rode according to the Walks of King E. 1. That the Indictments of Vert or Venison may express the places of the trespasses or else to be void That any impeachment out of the bound of the Forrest may trebly therefore recover The Statutes or Charter of the Forrest shal be according to the Law and who will complain shall be heard It is enacted That in Loans which the King shall require of his Subjects upon Letâ—ers of Privy seal that such as have reasonable excuse of not lending may thereto be received without further
about the Kings person for this year The said Sir Richard le Scroop by the Kings commandment answered that albeit there never was account of Subsidies in or out of Parliament yet notwithstanding the King would that the said William and Iohn with others of the Kings Council should shew them the same so as the same should be taken for no example Touching any of the Kings debts the Exchequer used not to forget them Touching the Kings Officers and Councellors the King will chuse them according to his pleasure and thereafter make them prevail He therefore willeth the Lords as knowing the necessity to have due and speedy consideration thereof The Commons require longer day for the exhibiting of theâ—r Petitions which was granted They also require the Enrollment of the Aids and Subsidies granted the last Parliament the which was granted at the Kings pleasure and not at their request The Commons then require that five or six of the Lords might be appointed to come to discourse with them the Lords denyed that saying the same was the guise of two or three Parliaments before but theirs was that the Lords should among themselves chuse a certain number and the Commons the like and that they should confer together which they would do for if the Commons would not dissever themselves neither would they the Lords to which Order the Commons agreed After the Commons had reviewed the Enrollments of the receipts and expences about the Wars they eftsoon returned into the Parliament and commended the same as very honourable only they said that touching the forty six thousand pound defraied about the Marches of Callice Brest and other places of Gascoign and certain ransoms of prisoners should not run in their charge considering those defences were out of the Realm Thereunto was answered that those places were the very Barbicans and Propugnacles of the Realm the which being well defrauded and the Sea kept we should then enjoy peace at home and not otherwise The Commons then thought the goods of King E. 3. able to serve the turn Whereto was answered that the same goods were justly praised and delivered to certain his Creditors except certain implements of houshold wherefore the King stood bound to pay the value to certain of his Credâ—tors The Archbishop of Canterbury came before the King and Lords and required audience giving first most lowly thanks for the confirming of the liberties of the Church He then required that the great villany done in the Abby-Church of Westminster may be revenged viz. for that Robert Hamley Esq. and one other were murthered in the Church of Westminster by the high Altar at high Mass time And so beseecheth that the King may be vertuously brought up in his youth and have good Counsel The Temporal Lords on the contrary wished for the like bringing up of the King in vertue â—nd pray the King that where the Clergy hath incroached against the Laws that the same may be redressed They further say That the Judges and learned of the Law and certain Doctors of the Divine Civil and Common Law being examined and sworne before the King have thereby affirmed that no man ought to enjoy the Sanctuary in cases of Debt Accompt or Trespass but only in cases where the life or member of a man lieth in danger All which those Doctors and Clerks did after in this present Parliament defend and openly prove against the Bishops whereunto the Bishops could not then answer but required longer day which was granted Note in this Record are made certain reasons against Sanctuary for Debts about which priviledge it appeareth this Hurly-burly to have been The Lords and Commons grant to the King the like Subsidy of Wooll and Staple ware as was granted in 50 E. 3. tit 7. but expressed in 43 E. 3. tit 10. for one year over and above Which said subsidies they granted to the King as a new increase of the same subsidies Thirteen shillings four pence of every sack of Wooll Thâ—rteen shillings four pence for every twelve score Wooll-fells Twenty six shillings eight pence of every Last of Skins passing out of the Realm of all manner of persons for one year They also grant to the King six pence of every Twenty shillings merchandise passing or coming into the Realm They require the King to imploy their Grants to the maintenance of Wars and to appoint suffâ—cient and able Treasurers therefore as lately And to take these their Grants in good part for that by Plague War and Murrain they are able to do no more William of Montacute Earl of Salisbury rehearseth the old Petition contained in 1 R. 2. tit 28. 29. and prayeth as there is redress The Writ of Scire facias whereby the Earl of March was willed to appear The Sheriffs return upon the same Scire facias that the same Earl of March was not found within this Bailiwick neither any Lands or Tenements to be warned thereby who was Sheriff of Shropshire Whereupon the said Earl of Salisbury required another Scire fac for to warn Edmund now Earl of March the son and heir of the said Roger to be and answer at the next Parliament which was granted The Lady Nevill of Essex complaineth and sheweth that where Iohn Brewes and others brake her house at London and violently took thereout Margery the daughter of Iohn Nerfourd son to the said Lady and carried her away unto the house of Robert Howard knight All who kept away the said Margery to the end she should not pursue in Court Christian adnullation of contract of matrimony against the said Iohn Brewes For which cause the said Robert was by the Council committed to the Tower and after delivered surety and promised to do his uttermost to bring forth the said Margery by Michaelmas ensuing or else to yield himself prisoner to the Tower again The said Robert at Michaelmas came before certain of the Council and shewed his travel about the expedition asore but that he could not meet with her To whom the said Council gave three moneths of longer respite Notwithstanding upon the said Ladies pursuit for that the said Robert not bringing forth the said Margery did not yield himself prisoner to the Tower the same Robert was therefore committed to the Tower again Sir William of Windsor and Alice his wife late called Dâ—me Alice Perrers pray the revocation of a Judgment made in the last Parliament tit 41 42 43. against the said Alice for Errors therein contained The Record was brought forth and Errors assigned But the Kings learned Council adjudged and the Kings favour they could not sue in such wise but require that by Aâ—torney they might sue therefore Whereupon the said William and Alice his wife late called Dame Alice Perrers by a new Bill required that they by Edmund Clay and Robert Brown their

THe same Munday being the 24. of February certain Bishops and Lords assembled in the place accustomed in the Palace of Westminster and for that it was reported to them that sundry Sheriffs had not returned their Writs the Parliament by the Kings Commandement was adjourned to the next day The same Tuesday following the King with the Bishops Lords and Commons assembled in the Parliament before
whom Master Robert Braybrook Bishop of London and Chancellor of England by the Kings Commandement declared the cause of the Parliament to be for maintenance of the Liberties of the Church and preservation of the Laws and peace of the Realm He then remembring them of that their ayde granted in the last Parliament and of the Kings purpose to go into Flanders for the voyage of the French sheweth that since the last Parliament heavy tydings came how that the French King had subjected to himself the whole Countrie of Flanders except the town of Gaunt and that upon the same tydings the King called a great Councell at Westminster by which it was determined that the King should pass in person to the rescue of the town of Gaunt if safely with his honour he might so do And that now therefore the Parliament was called for them to consult whether it were best for the King to go in person or to send an Army and for mony to maintain the same with the Circumstances thereto belonging the which he willed them fully to digest and to make speedy answer Receivers of Petitions for England Ireland Wales and Scotland Receivers of Petitions for Gascoyn and other places beyond the Seas and of the Isls.

The Preface to the Reader COURTEOUS READER HAving already published to the World a Chronological Epitome or Summary Collection of all the extant Parliamentary Councils Synods and publike State-Assemblies held within the Realm of Great Britain upon several Occasions from the Britons first arival in it under King Brute as our old Historians generally assert till the Coronation of King William the Norman Anno Dom. 1066. conteining the space of 2390 years or thereabouts after the computation of the Chronicle of Bromton and others And having likewise an intention if God shall vouchsafe me life health liberty opportunity and encouragements to collect and publish an Exact Chronological History of all the Great Councils Synods Parliaments State Assemblies and the several Consultations Debates Acts Edicts Laws Statutes Ordinances Iudgements Petitions Proceedings in them and Writs of Summons to them extant either in Histories or Records all other usefull Records from the crowning of K. William the first Anno 1066. till the end of the reign of K. Charls 1648. A most necessary profitable useful Work never yet undertaken by any to my knowledge tending much to the Honour of our English Nation the Dignity of our Parliaments and Great Councils the advancement of our Laws and Learning the information instruction of the present times and future ages in our Parliamentary and State affairs of greatest concernment the enabling Members of Parliament both to know discharge their Duties and maintain their antient Privileges Jurisdictions better than in former times the preservation of our usefullest Parliamentary Rolls Journals and other Records from Suppression Embezlement Oblivion to rectifie sundry Gross mistakes both in our printed Statutes Law-books and Vulgar Historians The compleating of which vast undertaking requiring more toylsom Study Cost expence and time than yet I can bestow thereon I thereupon apprehended that I could not in the Interim perform a more profitable Service to my Country conducing towards the furtherance of that great Undertaking than at the earnest importunity of the Stationer and some special Friends to contribute my best directions assistance towards the printing and publishing of this Exact Abridgement of the Parliamentary Records in the Tower of London from the reign of King Edward 2. unto King Richard the 3. collected as is generally voiced believed by that most eminent industrious Collector of our best rarest English Antiquities Manuscripts Leger-books Records of all sorts Sir ROBERT COTTON whose famous Name and Memory alone are sufficient to adde more praise and lustre to this Abridgement than any Panegyrical Epistle I am able to prefix thereto This Exact Abridgement being licensed for the Press before the Stationer brought it me to peruse I thereupon diligently read over the Copy belonging formerly to a person of quality curiously bound up gilt and written in a very fair hand wherein I corrected several verbal mistakes of the Clerk in the Transcribing and comparing it with another Transcript of mine own supplyed some blank spaces in it together with the Abridgements of the whole Parliaments of 21 E. 3. 4. 16.

It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in Princes yea or Parliaments Wherefore Put not your trust in Princes in Parliaments nor in any son of man in whom there is no help yea Cease ye from man whose breath is in his nostrils for wherein is he to be accounted of For although usually in a way of ordinary providence In the multitude of Counsellers there is safety yet God many times in justice Leadeth the greatest Counsellers yea Parliaments themselves away spoyled and maketh the Iudges fools so that though they associate themselves together they shall be broken in pieces and though they take Counsel together yet it shall come to naught when God is not with but against them whereof we have seen many late sad domestick experiments to wean us from Deifying Idolizing of or over-much confiding in or depending upon Parliaments which have been so subject to Errors Deviations Abortions in former and later times Touching the Original of electing and sending Knights Citizens and Burgesses to our Parliaments it is very obscure and dubious Sir Robert Cotton the Author of this Abridgment In his brief Discourse concerning the Power of the Peers in Parliament in point of Iudicature affirms and proves That the Generale Placitum Universalis Synodus Magnum Commune Concilium of the Realm now stiled a Parliament was held Ceram Episcopis Magnatibus suis Or Coram Episcopis Principibus Regni in praesentia Regis This Great Court or Council consisting of the King and Barons ruled all affairs of State and controlled all Inferiour Courts Causes being referred and transferred out of the County and other Courts unto it propter aliquam dubitationâ—m quae emergit cum Comitatus nescit dijudicare as Glanvil in King Henry the seconds reign informs us and Bracton Britton with sundry Statutes and Records of later date with the antient presidents of Ethelwold Bishop of Wilton his sute against Leoftine and Q Edgin against Goda in the time of King Ethelredâ— the sute between the Bishop of Winton Durham in the time of St. Edward and one in the 10. year of the Conqueror evidence The power of the Peers in this Courtt and of certain Officers as the Steward Constable and Marshal fixed upon Families in fee for many ages was so transcendent that it seemed to be set to bound in the execution of Princes wills and grew fearfull to Monarchy Hereupon King Henry 3. when the daring Earl of Leicester was slain at the battel of Evesham by the dear experience himself had made at the Parliament at Oxford in the 40. year of his reign and the memory of the many streights his Father was driven unto especially at Runny-mead near Stanes wisely began to lessen the strength and power of his great Council weakning that hand of power which they carried in the Parliaments by commanding the service of many Knights Citizens and Burgesses to that Council NOW BEGAN saith he THE FREQUENT SENDING OF WRITS TO THE COMMONS THEIR ASSENTS not only used in Money Charge and making Laws For before ALL ORDINANCES PASSED BY THE KING PEERS but THEIR CONSENTS IN JUDGMENTS OF ALL NATURES WHETHER CIVIL OR CRIMINAL For proof whereof he produceth some succeeding presidents out of records When Adomar that proud Prelat of Winchester the Kings half Brother had grieved the State with his daring power he was exiled by the joynt consent of the King the Lords and Commons and this appeareth expresly by the Answer to the Letter sent by Pope Alexander the 4th expostulating a Revocation of him from Banishment because he was a Church-man and so not subject to Lay Censures In this the Answer is Si Dominus Rex et regni Majores hoc vellent COMMUNITAS TAMEN IPSIUS INGRESSUM IN ANGLIAM JAM NULLATENUS SUSTINERENT The Peers subjoyn this answer with their names and Petrus de Montford VICE TOTIUS COMMUNITATIS as SPEAKER or PROLOCUTOR OF THE COMMONS For by this stile Sir Io.

Sine providentia regali impossibile est pacem regibus dare wherein he noted two points the one the duty of the Prince towards the Subjects the other the duty of the Subjects towards the Prince To the first he affirmed three things to belong viz. That the Subjects should be kept from forein Invasion that Peace might be kept within the realm and that Justice should be indifferently ministred And that three things belonged to the Subjects viz. First largely to relieve the Prince in cases of defence In peace readily to obey all Magistrates And humbly to submit himself to the lawes The which the better to accomplish the King had assembled the same Parliament whereby he also would that all Estates should enjoy their liberties And for expedition herein he willed the Commons to make choice and presentation of their Speaker the next day to the King accordingly 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 On the fifteenth day of October the Commons presented before the King and Lords Iohn Tirrill Esq to be their Speaker whose excuse made and not allowed he with the common protestation was liked The Chancellor by the appointment of the Duke of Gloucester to whom the Kings Letters Patents were made for proroguing the Parliament did the same prorogue from the eighth day
record A motion touching the pardon of H. 5. of no great force That the Statute made Anno 3 H. 6. tit 44. touching the river of Ley may be observed with this adjunct that all Bayliffs and other Officers within the precinct of the same do attend upon the Justices and that the Justices for every of their Sessions may have like fees as Justices of peace have The Statutes therefore made shall be observed That all the Statutes touching the Staple may be confirmed and that no licenses be granted That all men may have their free passage in Dragges and Floats upon the river of Severn without any thing paying therefore The King will be advised The print touching the Commission of Sewers cap. 5. agreeth with the record The print touching the shipping of Merchants cap. 6. agreeth with the record It is enacted that the Lords of the Councell shall have power to end all petitions not ended by Parliament by the advice of the Justices Whereof sundry bills and petitions the twenty fifth day of Iune were by certain of the Lords there named in the Starr-chamber answered and endorsed Anno Octavo Henrici Sexti The Parliament holden at Westminster the day next after the Feast of St. Matthew in the Eighth year of King Henry the Sixth ON Thursday being the next day after St. Matthew the twentieth day of September before the king himself then sitting in the Chair of Estate in the Chamber de pinct the Lords and Commons being there present Iohn Arch-Bishop of York and Chancellor of England declared learnedly the cause of the same Parliament taking for his Theam Luke 11. Quomodo stabit regnum c. The which text as to the realm of England he divided into two parts the one by way of admiration the other by way of question He noted causes three viz. want of Faith the which was the root of all vice Eò quod sine side impossibile est placere Deo the second the want of due Fear being the author of every good mind Nam qui nihil timet negliget the third for want of upright Justice being the pillar of every Kingdome namely ex Iustitia sequitur pax ex pace rerum abundantia maxime procreatur In place of which three vertues he shewed that within this realm three vices reigned namely Infidelity by errors and heresies Obstinacy instead of fear and Oppression in place of Justice Through Infidelity he shewed how Iean and the late Kingdome of Bohemia were destroyed Fear he divided into two parts the one spirituall and vertuous as fearing God and man for God the other carnall and vicious as whereby murmure and rebellion spring which procured destruction such as happened to Chore Dathan and Abiram Numb 16. He also proveth that for oppression ensued transferring of kingdomes according to Eccles. 10. regnum alienum in regnum transfertur propter inâ—usâ—icias injurias So farre to the first by way of admiration to the second by way of question He affirmed that if true Faith due Fear and upright Justice might be restored there was then no doubt but that this kingdome should flourish He further sheweth that as the Prince was bound to defend the Subjects and to keep peace so ought the Subjects to minister to the Prince liberally of their goods to the atchieving of the same to which end the same Parliament was called wherefore he willed the Commons to choose and to present their Speaker the next day unto the King 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 On Friday the second day of the Parliament the Commons by certain of their fellowes declared unto the Lords how they had chosen one William Allington Esquire to be their Speaker and required respite for presenting of him untill the Monday following which was granted On Monday the sixteenth of September the Commons presented before the king and Lords the aforesaid William whose excuse being refused he with the common protestation was allowed The twelfth day of December the Commons by the assent of the Bishops and Lords granted to the King one whole Desme and one fifteen to be levyed of the laity It was enacted that the King and his Councell should treat with the Duke of Burbon touching his ransome For that the King the sixth day of November in this present year in the day of Coronation had taken upon him the protection and defence of this realm It seemeth good to the Bishops and Lords upon good advise that the name and power of Protector and Defendor granted to the Dukes of Bedford and Gloucester should from the same day of Coronation utterly cease and that they the said Dukes should have the name of principall Counsellors any order to the contrary notwithstanding the which name of Protector and Defender as touching his own person the Duke of Bedford in full Parliament did release so alwayes as the same should not hurt the title of Duke of Bedford The twenty ninth day of December the Commons at the Contemplation of Henry Bishop of Winchester and new made Cardinall granted one other Desme and fifteen to be levied of the laity Note the title of the said Cardinall is as followeth Reverendissimus in Christo Pater Dominus Henricus permissione divina titl Sancti Eusebii Presbyterii Cardinalis de Anglia nuncupatus The same Commons do also grant to the King Tonnage and Poundage to continue unto the next Parliament The Chancellor by the Kings commandement declareth how that the King by the assent of the Bishops and Lords had prorogued the same Parliament from the said twentieth day of December unto the Monday next after the feast of St. Hillary then ensuing at Westminster aforesaid For that no Cardinall is to be of any Kings Councell but at his own pleasure the Bishops and Lords assented that humble request should be made to the said Cardinall to vouchsafe to be made of the Councill with this protestation that the said Cardinall should absent himself in all affaires and Councills of the King wherein the Pope or See of Rome was touched upon which request â—o made the Cardinall took upon him the same in form aforesaid The King by common consent hath given to the Lord Talbot being prisoner in France as towards his importable ransome Sir William Bircham Knight a French Prisoner if that the same Sr. William were not to be impeached for the death of the Duke of Burgundy And it
in the fifteenth year of King Henry the sixth IOhn Bishop of Bath and Wells Chancellor of England in the presence of the King Lords and Commons by the Kings commandement declared the cause of the Parliament and took for his Theam Isa. 62. Corona Regni in manu dei c. Whereupon he shewed that three sorts of men are Crowned viz. All Christians in their baptism in token whereof they are anointed All Clerks in token of their order are shaven in token thereof All Kings in their Coronation in token whereof they wear a Crown of gold set with flowers and precious stones By the figure of the Crown he resembleth to the politique government by the flowers and stones the honours and office of a Prince as gold estimable and durable So that a Common-wealth is most firm and stable which is governed in the faithfull care of a Prince as gold is flexible to the workmen so ought every Commonalty to be at the beck of the Prince seeking the prosperity of the same The erecting and standing of the flowers in the upper part of the Crown pretendeth the Kings preheminency over the Subjects the which ought to be garnished with four Cardinal vertues viz. In the fore part ought to be Wisdom adorned with three precious stones viz. Memory of things past Circumspection to things present and Prudence of things to come On the right hand ought to be Fortitude accompanied with Courage in attempting Patience in suffering and Perseverance in well meaning On the left side ought to be Justice distributing her Arms in triple sort viz. to the best mean and lowest On the hinder part ought to be Temperance with her Trinity viz. Restraint of sensuality in fear Silence in speech and Mortification in will all which proceeding from God fully approved that the Crown of the King was in the hands of God He therefore sheweth that the same Parliament was called for three principal causes The first for Justice and Peace amongst the Subjects The second how the Commodities growing within this realm might have a ready Vent The third how the realm might be defended and the Sea kept against the Enemies and Rebels To which end he willed the Commons to choose and the next day to present their Speaker to the King 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 The Commons presented to the King Sir Iohn Tirrell Knight to be their Speaker whose excuse being refused he with the common protestation was allowed An authority is given to the Treasurer of England to pay to the Cardinal 2000 Marks The Duke of Gloucester Captain of Callice prayeth that if any mishap should happen to Callice for want of payment of the souldiers the same may not be imputed unto him At the request of Sir Iohn Cromwell Knight Lord of Fanhope the Prior and Covent of the Friers Preachers within Ludgate are incorporated to whom the said Lord granted 40. marks yearly for an Obbit in a Chapel of his own erection there called Cornwall Chapel At the Petition of Isabel late wife of Iohn Botler of Beansley in the County of Lancaster Knight the which Isabel one William Pull of Winall in the County of Chester Gentleman shamefully did ravish It is enacted that if the said William doe not yield himself after Proclamation made against him that he should be taken as a Traytor attainted The same Isabel by another Petition sheweth how the said William by duresse and means of imprisonment enforced her to mary him and by colour thereof ravished her for the which she prayeth her appeal which to her is granted Richard Widonell Knight payeth to the King 1000 l. for a Fine for marrying of Iaquett Dutchesse of Bedford without license The King by Letters Patents confirmed by Parliament granteth licence to the Duke of Gloucester and Ellinor his wife to impark 200 Acres of land in Greenwich and that their Manor of Greenwich they may embattle and build with stone and also make a Tower of Stone within the same Park At the Petition of the same Duke it is enacted that if the Customs of Callice shall not suffice to pay the Souldiers their wages that the Treasurer of England shall pay the same Iohn Earl of Oxford prayeth the pardon of 300 l. the rest of 3000 l. paid to the King for marying without licence It was answered that the same debt was assigned but otherwayes the King would remember him Petitions of the Commons with their Answers THe print touching the Marshall and Kings Steward of his house cap. 1. agreeth with the record The print touching the carriage of Corn over the Seas cap. 2. agreeth with the record That the Impositions of 4 d. for every 20 s. of Merchandize paid to the officers of Bourdeaux may cease The King will be advised That the Justices may determine the treasons for burning of houses made Anno 8 H. 6.

Acts Judgments Proceedings as you may discern by this Abridgement But more clearly by the Rolls at large made up and engrossed by the Clerk of the Parliament with the assistance or supervising of the Lords Iudges and Commons too when there was occasion 4ly I shall recommend unto you these generall Observations touching our Parliaments and their proceedings in former ages which I shall desire the Readers more carefully to observe in their perusal of this Abridgement for their better satisfaction 1. That it was the Common Custom in former ages the first day of every Parliament by special Proclamation to inhibit the wearing of any Arms or weapons under severe penalties within such Cities and places where the Parliament sate to prevent all disturbances quarrels intimidations over-awings of the Members by Fear or Force A practice now fit to be revived after so many late armed Guards Forces not only over-awing disturbing enforcing but dissolving Parliaments and secluding securing their Members at their pleasure 2. That our Parliaments were alwayes usually adjourned and put off till some further day when any considerable Number of the Lords or Commons were absent or not come appearing at the first day of Summons and the Declaration of the Causes of summoning the Parliament adjourned till all the Members were come and the Parliaments full 3. That the Lords some times and the Commons were all frequently called by Name the first day of the Parliaments sitting and all of them admitted yea commanded to sit in and attend the Parliament and such as were absent without just cause both blamed and fined 4. That in all former ages no Acts were made Judgements pronounc'd Ayds or Subsidies granted nor ought else debated or conlcuded but only in full Parliament when all or most of the Members were personally present and none forcibly secluded or suspended but only by senâ—ence of the Houses themselves See the Table Full Parliament 5. That No Members of Parliament could be arrested imprisoned or taken in execution for Debt or any other occasion sitting the Parliament but only for Treason Felony or Breach of the Peace and if any were arrested or taken in execution against their privileges they were upon complaint released to attend the publike service of their Country in Parliament 6. That our Kings themselves did usually by their Chancellors or Chief Justices when they declared the Causes of summoning every Parliament to the 3. Estates most commonly grant and declare of their own accords That all Estates should enjoy their Privileges belonging to them as Members and likewise That the Church with all Corporations and other persons whatsoever should enjoy their antient Liberties Rights Customs and Franchises which was one chief end of summoning Parliaments and the Great Charter of their Liberties of the Forest and all other good Laws and Statutes due observation and to have the violations of them redressed punished 7. That Matters of Warr Peace Leagues Defence against Enemies both by Land and Sea were constantly propounded to debated consulted concluded of in and by our Parliaments yea one chief cause of their Convention and not ordered
