nor Ordinance but only the Kings Answer by the Archbishops mouth to the Commons prayer That the Commons were only Petitioners and THAT ALL JUDGEMENTS APPERTAIN UNTO THE KING AND LORDS unlesse it were in Statutes c. After which he subjoyns Rot. Parl. 2. H. 5. n. 13. Error assigned that the Lords gave judgement without petition or assent of the Commons when as there is no such Error therein assigned and the judgement there alleged to be erroneous was confirmed by the Lords as you may read in this Abridgement and more fully in my Plea for the Lords To pretermit many more of his Mistakes in his very Chapter of Parliaments which this Abridgement will both discover and rectifie I shall touch but upon one more In his 4. Instit. p. 10. he hath this passage Walsingham saith that in Anno Domini 1404. which was Anno 6 H. 4 in the writs of the Summons of Parliament there was added by the King a Commandement in the Writ THAT NO LAWYER SHOULD BE RETURNED KNIGHT OR BURGESSE But the Historian was deceived FOR THERE IS NO SUCH CLAUSE IN THOSE WRITS but it was wrought by the Kings Letters by pretext of an Ordinance in the Lords House in 46 E. 3. In which passage there are three mistakes together 1. A misrecital of Thomas of Walsinghams words That no Lawyer or Apprentice should be elected Knight of the Shire without any mention of Burgesses Direxit ergo Rex writes he BREVIA Vicecomitibus NE QUOSQUAM PRO COMITATIBUS ELIGERENT QUOVISMODO MILITES QUI IN JURE REGNI VEL DOCTI FUISSENT VEL APPRENTICII Sed tales omnino mitterentur ad hoc negotium quos conslat ignorare cujusque Iuris methodum FACTUMqUE EST ITA Whence he stiles it in his Margin PARLIAMENTUM INDOCTORUM To which he subjoyns in his Ypodigma Neustriae this observation In hoc Parliamento concessa fuit Regi taxa insolita et incolis tricabilis et valde gravis Cujus modum praesentibus inseruissem nisi Concessores ipsi Authores dicti Tallagii in perpetuum latere posteros maluissent Nempe sub ea tantum conditione concedebatur ne traheretur posterius in exemplum nec servarentur ejus evidentâ—ae in the sauraria Regia nec in Scaccario sed Scripturae vel recordationes ejusdem protiÌ„nus post datum compotum cremarentur nec emitterentur Brevia seu Commissiones contra Collectores vel Inquisitores hujus negotii de melius inquirendo A good president for the burning abolishing of all late records of illegal excessive Taxes Excises imposed and levied on the English Nation for so many years together without intermission 2ly A charging of Walsingham who lived in those times and knew them better than Sir Edward Cooke with a direct mistake and untruth That there is no such clause in the writs then issued as he recites when as it is most apparent by the writs themselves remaining on Record in the Tower in the Clause Roll of 5 H. 4. pars 2. m. 4 Dorso which I have perused with mine own eyes for my own and others satisfaction and by diverse Notes and Transcripts thereof which I have seen in Manuscripts that there was this clause inserted into all the writs of Summons then issued to exclude the Sheriffs themselves with all Apprentices and Men of the Law from being elected Knights Citizens or Burgesses Nolumus autem quod tu seu aliquis alius Vicecomes regni nostri aut APPRENTICIUS SIVE ALIQUIS ALIUS HOMO AD LEGEM ALIQUALITER SIT ELECTUS Et habeas ibi nomina praedictorum Militum Civium Burgensium hoc Breve Teste Rege apud Lichefield 25 die Augusti on which day the writs of Summon both to the Archbishops Bishops and Temporal Lords bear date all entred together in the same Roll. I wonder therefore upon what ground or misinformation Sir Edward Cook could so confidently averr the contrary and tax this Historian for a mistake in this wherein he was most right and himself alone so palpably mistaken whose confidence made me of his opinion till I sifted out the truth by a more diligent search of the Record it self not mentioned in this Abridgement 3ly In averring that this was wrought by the Kings Letters by pretext of an Ordinance of the Lords House in 46 E. 3. when that he stiles an Ordinance of that the Lords House was an Ordinance or Act of Parliament Ordinances and Acts of Parliament being both one and the same as â— have elsewhere unanswerably proved againsâ— Sir Edward Cooks new mistaken Doctrine made by the whole Parliament not Lords House alone excluding all Practising Lawyers all Sheriffs from being elected Knights of Shires or receiving wages for their Service in that Parliament for the reasons therein mentioned which Ordinance I shall here insert at large out of the Parliament Roll of 46 E. 3. num 13.

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.

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. By protesting first that the King was ready to do all that ought to be done for the Pope But for that divers usurpations were done by the Pope to the King his Crown and Realm as by particular Bill in this Parliament should be shewed the King requireth them to seek redress Receivers of petitions for England Ireland France and Scotland Receivers of petitions for Gascoin and other places beyond the seas and of the Isles Tryers of petitions for England c. as above T ryers of petitions for Gascoin c. as above After this the Commons were willed to repair to the Chapter house of the Abbey of Westminster to treat of these matters and how money might be best levied thereto and certain Lords there named were appointed from time to time to confer with the Commons for their better help The Lords and Commons grant to the King towards his great charges Four pence of every poll man or woman passing the age of fourteen years only Beggers excepted The Commons request that the King would appoint two Earls and two Barons to receive as well their Subsidy as the Subsidy of the Clergy and the Subsidy of Woolls granted the last Parliament so as the same be imployed upon the Wars and that the High Treasurer do in no wise meddle therewith Afterwards when it was declared to how great a sum the wages of those four Treasurers would amount unto the Commons then required that the High Treasurer might then be doer therein to the use of the Wars After the two and twentieth of February certain Bishops and Lords the Chancellor Treasurer and Keeper of the Privy Seal and all the Justices by the Kings appointment went to Sheen where the King lay sick and there in their presence the Articles of the Kings general pardon as ensueth were read with other answers made to the Petitions of the Commons as hereafter follow whereunto the King agreeth and willed that they should the next day be read in the House and to make the same the last day of Parliament the which was done the next day being the three and twentieth day of February by authority of the King and of the said President Petitions of the Commons with their Answers The Print touching the Liberties of the Church the great Charter and the Charter of the Forrest cap. 1 2 3. agreeth with the Record in effect but not in form The Print as touching the general Pardon cap. 3. agreeth with the Record Divers Articles of pardon which are comprised in the Pardon aforesaid That all persons and Corporations may have the pardon freely without paying any thing for the Great Seal Such as for Felonies are to sue shall do the same before the Nativity of S. Iohn and pay the Fees onely That such as owe unto the King may upon their Account be allowed of all such Loans as are due to them or to any of their Ancestors The Treasurers and Barons shall make allowance of due debt That title of prescription of any liberties may as well be allowed as if it were by grant and that prescription may be from the Coronation of the King The King by advice will do herein as he shall think best That the Justices of Peace do not enquire of any Articles which are to be redressed in any Lords Leet but only of the peace and of Labourers and that they hold their Sessions four times a year The Statutes heretofore made cannot stand if this be granted That the Patent of
to revoke the Judgment against Alice Perrers and for her restitution The like they make for Iohn de Leicester The like they make for Adam de Bury The like they make for Walter Sporier Iohn Peach of London maketh the like request for himself William Ellis Burgess of Yarmouth maketh the like for himself And it is to be remembred that nothing was answered to the Bill aforesaid for that the Parliament ended that day The Commons shew that whereas Hugh Staffolk of Great Yarmouth was accused of divers extortions in the last Parliament whereupon Commission was granted to the Earl of Suffolk and Sir Iohn Cavendish Knight for the enquiries and determining of the same who so had done and by eighteen Enquests had found him guiltless as the same Sir Iohn in open Parliament witnessed in which matter more was not done I shall desire the Reader to take notice That in the Parliament-Roll at large of 51 E. 3. n. 25. The Prelates Dukes Earls Barons Commons Citizens Burgesses and Merchants of England in this Parliament petition the King not only for a Pardon in generall and of Fines and Amerciaments before the Iustices of Peace not yet levied in special which this Abridgment only toucheth But they likewise subjoyn thereto this memorable Request totally omitted by the Abridger which I thought meet here to supply That in time to come your said Prelates Earls Barons Commonsâ— Citizens and Burgesses of your Realm of England may not be hencâ—forth charged molested nor grieved to make Any Common Aid or sustein any Charge unless it be by common assent of the Prelates Dukes Lords and Barons and other people of the Commons of your Realm of England and that in full Parliament Nor no Imposition put upon their Woolls Woollâ—fells and Leather or any the antient Custom That is to say of one Sack of Wooll half a Mark and of three hundred Wooll-fells half a Mark and of one Last of Skins one Mark of Custom only according to the Statute made the 14 year of your Reign saving to you the Subsidy granted unto you the last Parliament for a certain time and not yet levied To which last Clause the King then gave this Answer And as to that That no Charge be laid upon the people without Common assent The King is not at all willing to do it without great Necessity and for the Defence of the Realm and where he may do it with Reason And as to that That Impositions be not laid upon their Woolls without assent of the Prelates Dukes Earls Barons and other people of the Commons of his Realm There is a Statute already made which the King wills that it shall stand in its force Anno Primo Richardi Secundi Rex c.

And the third for assaying his friend in time of necessity according to the Scripture in necessitate probabitur amicus He applieth that the King their undoubted leige Lord was now come unto them not for one but for all three causes For the first to rejoyce with them in the great providence and grace of God by sending his person among them not by any collateral means or election but by special discent of inheritance and for their good wilâ—s was he therefore come to give them thanks To visit and comfort them in their great necessity and adversities He was also come as not onely for the death of the noble King E. 3. and for the Prince his Son but also for the great losses of them on the Sea-coasts and elsewhere within the Realm done by their enemies whereunto he now was come not onely to proffer himself in aid but to confirm all their Liberties to maintain the Laws and Peace to redress the contrary To assay them He was also come as to councel with them for the depressing of the enemy and to require aid of them without which he could not perform the same for all which he willed
into the Parliament before the King and Lords bringing in Sir Iohn Gildesbrough knight whom they had chosen then to be their Speaker who making his Protestation required that whatsoever he should speak and be taken in evill part might be imputed to his ignorance and not unto the Commons And if that happily he should speak contrary to the expectation of the said Commons that they then at all times amend the same He saith then that the Commons suppose that if the King were reasonably governed in his expences within and without the Realm that he should little need to charge his Commons being already much impoverished And therefore they require the King to discharge the Lords of the great Councel and to appoint about him only five Councellors being his chief Officers viz. the Chancellor Treasurer Keeper of the Privy Seal chief Chamberlain and the Steward of the Houshold whose names they would knowâ— and that they should not be removed without Parliament but for death sickness or such like causes Finally he requireth that it would please the King to appoint by Commission certain such as should enquire by all means of the Kings charges as well of Houshold as otherwise and of all his Officers beyond the Seas as on this side and to appoint redresse for defaults since his Coronation The King after that granteth to such Commission and to the persons therein named according to the form following his estate and regality always saved The whole form and Commission it self with the Names of the Commissioners very large and worthy the noting The Lords and Commons do grant to the King one fifteen and a half to be taken out of the Cities and Towns and one Desme of Fifteenth and a half to be taken within Cities and Towns by way of a Loan untill the next Parliament and to be levied according as the last were so as the same be only imployed upon the Warrs They also grant unto the King the Subsidie of wools woolfels and skins from the Feast of S.

Abridgement be very exactly done by so learned and eminent an Antiquary whose Name it bears yet through the carelesness of the Clerks who transcribed it I find here and there some mistakes in the Number roll and some omissions of material Words Clauses yea of the whole Parliament Rolls of Ed. 2.46 E. 3. with some two or three Rolls more yet extant not abridged in any Copy I have seen which the publishing or perusal of the Parliament rolls at large will easily supply I being unwilling to adde any Appendix of mine own to this deceased Authors surviving industry Besides in one particular of moment I find both a mistranslation of the French and a mistaken Inference grounded on it by the Compiler of this Abridgement of which I thought necessary to give the Reader special Notice to rectifie his mistake which hath seduced many especially being since seconded therein by Sir Edw. Cook In the Abridgement of the Parliament Roll of 6 E. 3. n. 5 6. whereas it is translated The Bishops and Proctors of the Clergy went by themselves to consult therein And THE LORDS AND COMMONS BY THEMSELVES The LORDS AND COMMONS RETURN c. The word there translated Commons is in the Roll and French GRANTZ with a dash or GRANDEES in both placesâ— and should be thus rendred in English The Lords Barons and other GREAT MEN not Commons by themselves And the said Earls Barons et autres Grantz AND OTHER GREAT MEN not Commons by the mouth of Sir Henry Beaumont c. The Knights of Shires and Commons being twice together distinguished from the Earls Barons and Great men in this very Number-Roll which I shall transcribe to clear this mistake and the inference grounded thereonâ— Et les ditz Countz Barons et auters Grantz per eux mesmes Les quex Countz Barons et auters Grantz puis revindrent et respondient touz au Roy par la bouch de Beaumond c. Les quels choses issint ordainiez per le ditz Countz Barons et auters Grantz luez devant nostre Seiur le Roy et les Prelates Chivalers des Countees et les Gentz de Comune here put in contradistinction to the Earls Lords and Great men and not present with them at their private debates but severed from them as well as the Bishops and Clergy and present only when they made their report to the King Prelates Knights Commons and whole Parliament assembled together upon this occasion in one place fueront plaisantz a eux touz et per nostre Seiur le Roy Prelates Countz Barons et auters Grantz et auxint per les Chivalers des Countees et GENTZ DES COMUNE here again distinguished from the Lords and Great men fueront pleinment assentuz accordez c. Now mark the inference thence made by the Abridger n. 10. By the 5. and 6. Titles before may appear THAT AT THIS TIME THE LORDS AND COMMONS WERE OF ONE HOUSE and that then there was no Speaker for the Commons That the Commons had then no Speaker I conceive is an undoubted truth since we find not any Speaker they had mentioned in the Rolls before the Parliaments of 51 E. 3. n. 89. and 1 R. 2. n. 16 17. But that the Lords and Commons were then of one House and sate and consulted together is a clear mistake directly contrary to this very record whereon it is grounded which expresly resolves That the Earls Barons and Great mâ—n went by themselves to consult as well as the Bishops and Clergy and that the Knights and Commons went not with them to consult but were called together to hear their report made by Sir Henry Beaumont to which they all gave their assents Sir Edward Cook in his 4. Institutes c. 1. p. 4â— hath propagated this mistake and thus backed it with some additions of his own CERTAIN IT IS THAT AT THE FIRST BOTH HOUSES of Lords and Commons SATE TOGETHER as it appeareth by Modus tenendi Parliamentum vide Rot. Parliamenti 5 E. 3. n. 3. and in other places of the same Roll and in 6 E. 3. in divers places it appeareth THAT THE LORDS AND COMMONS SATE TOGETHER But under the favour of this Reverend Judge as this Modus tenendi Parâ—iamentum he so much magnifies and insists on is a meer Spurious Forgery and Imposture full of gross errors absurdities not antienter than King Rich the 2. reign some part of it being taken out of 11 R. 2 and no such antient Record in the Confessors Conquerors or Henry the 2. reigns nor of such venerable Authority or Antiquity as Sir Edw. by many confident averrments without any colour of truth affirms it to be in his 4 Institutes p. 12.349 and elswhere as Mr. Selden manifests in his Titles of Honour part 2. p. 613 685 691 738. to 745 and I have further evidenced in My Levellers Levelled and third Part of A Seasonable Legal and Historical Vindication c. of the good old Fundamental Liberties Rights Laws of England p. 314. and the very Treatise it self will evidence to any person who is but meanly versed in Antiquities or Parliamentary Records So the Roll of 5 E. 3. n. 3. proves no such thing That both Houses then sate together but the contrary that the Lords and Commons sate and consulted apart by themselves and that certain Lords as a special Committee only not Lords House then treated consulted with them but no otherwise And the Roll of 6 E. 3. proves expresly that the Commons sate not together as one House with the Lords but apart from them To put this out of all further controversie Parl. 2.6 E 3. n. 3. is express That the Bishops by themselves THE LORDS BY THEMSELVES AND THE COMMONS BY THEMSELVES consulted and advised the King touching the War with Scotland The like you may read in 13 E. 3. n. 4 to 10.13 E. 3. Parl. 2. n. 5 6 7 8.14 E. 3. n. 6.7.17 E. 3. n. 9 10 11.18 E. 3. n. 10 11.20 E. 3. n. 10 11.21 E. 3. n. 4 5.25 E. 3. n. 6 7.36 E. 3. n. 6 7.40 E. 3. n. 8.42 E. 3. n. 7 4â— E. 3. n. 5 6.50 E. 3. n. 3 8 11 12. c. 51 E. 3. n. 18. and sundry other records throughout the reign of King Edward the 3d and in other Parliaments since Wherfore I wonder much at this gross confident mistake in Sir Edward Cook against so many express Records and that in his very Treatise touching Parliaments which is full of other mistakes To instance in other particulars for the Readers information Sir Edward Cooke in his 4 Institutes c. 1. p. 23. hath 5 or 6 gross mistakes together touching the Iudicature in Parliament which I have at large demonstrated refuted in my Plea for the Lords long since Particularly he there asserts Rot. Parl. 1 H. 4.79 is no Act of Parliament but an Ordinance when as you may see by this Abridgement of of it that it is neither an Act
the Numbers Titles in this Abridgement many times to exceed the Numbers Titles and Membranaes in the Rolls themselves and some times to differ from them in the number 2ly I shall desire him to take Notice for his better information touching Parliamentary records That the Writs of Summons to our Parliaments for the Nobility Clergy Knights Citizens Burgesses with the Writs for Knights and Burgesses wages are not extant in the Parliament or Statute-Rolls but for the most part they are entred in the Dorse of the Clause Rolls sometimes though rarely on the Dorse of the Patent Rolls kept in the Tower of London where all who please may peruse them at their leisure they sometimes differing one from another in form as well as in the names of the persons summoned and sometimes in material Clauses though Sir Edward Cook asserts the contrary as is most evident by the writs of Rot.

The Statute Roll of H. 3. Edw. 1. and Edw. 2. conteining some Statutes made in their reigns a Parchment Book of some Pleas in Parliament during the reigns of King Edward the 1. and 2. and a few Bundles of Petitions in the Parliaments of 6 E. 1. 1 2 3 4. E. 3. none of which are here Abridged Only I find in the Clause Patent Charter and Fine Rolls of King John Henry 3 Edward 1 and 2. some writs of Summons and some mâ—morials of Acts Ordinances made and Aydes Subsidies Disms Quindisms Customs granted in Parliaments held during their reigns the Rolls whereof are perished and quite lost either through the Negligence of the Record-keepers or the Injury Iniquity of the times during the Civil wars between the King and Barons in the reigns of King Iohn and Henry the 3. and betwixt the two houses of Lancaster and York for the Title to the Crown wherein it is very probable the prevaâ—â—ing Kings parties by their instruments embezelled suppressed such Parliamentary Records and Proceedings as made most against their Interests Power Prerogatives Titles or through the Default of our Kings Great Officers and Atturneys who sending for the Parliament Rolls out of the Tower upon special occasions never returned them again for reasons best known to themselves By means whereof these Parliament Rolls being no where to bee found their defects must be supplyed only out of such Fragments and Memorials of them as are extant in our other Records and antient Historians especially in Matthew Paris Matthew Westminster William of Malmsbury Henry Archdeacon of Huntingdon Roger de Hoveden Simeon Dunelmensis the Chronicle of Bromton Radulphus de Diceto Ranulphus Cistrensis and Thomas of Walsingham who give us some account of their Proceedings and Transactions which else had been utterly buried in oblivion as well as their Rolls wherâ—n they were at large recorded as is evident by the Parliament Rolls yet extant exactly relating all the Parl. 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
Proctor to the Commonalty of England then assembled or represented by their Knights or Burgessesâ— in the Commons House of Parliament or distinguished from the Lords and Barons like that Deed of intayl by Sir Iohn Tiptoft their Speaker in 8 H. 4. as Sir Robert Cotton imports and others would thence inferr which I shall irrefragably evidence 1. By the beginning close and subscription of this very Letter printed in the Additamenta of Matthew Paris It begins thus Sanctissimo Patri in Christo Alexandro c. COMMUNITAS COMITUM PROCERUM MAGNATUM ALIORUMQUE REGNI ANGLIAE cum subjectione debita pedum oscula beatorum And it is thus joyntly subscribed and sealed by 6. Earls and 5. other Great men Et Nos R. de Clare Gloverniae Herefordiaeâ— S. de Monteforti Legriae R. Bigod Mariscallus Angliae H. de Bohun Herefordiae Essexiae W.

Filius Galfridi Jacobus de Audel Petrus de Monteforti VIâ—E TOTIUS COMMUNITATIS praesentibus Literis SIGILLA NOSTRA APPOSUIMUS IN TESTIMONIUM PRAEDIâ—TORUM The Whole COMMUNITY therefore in whose behalf or stead they signed and sealed this Letter was only the Communitas Comitum Procerum Magnatum aliorumque Regni Angliae or Whole Baronage of England mentioned in the beginning of it in whole names alone it was written not the meer Commons house or Commonalty of England either in or out of Parliament as contradistinct from the Lords And these 11. Earls Barons and Great men joyntly signed and sealed it Vice totius Communitatis as joynt Proctors to this whole Community of the Baronage of England not ten of them as Proxies to the Earls Nobles and Great men and Peter de Montfort the 11. as Speaker or Proctor to the Commons in or out of Parliament as is erroniously surmised 2ly It is most evident by the words of Mat. Paris who placeth this Letter in Anno 1458. or 41 H. 3. whereas Sir Robert Cotton and Rishanger referr it to Anno 1260. or 44 H. 3 Destinantur Nuncii solennes ad Dominum Papam ex parte Regni ET TOTIUS ANGLIAE UNIVERSITATE c. Causam autem Itineris eorum et SCRIPTUM A BARNAGIO TRANSCRIPTUM audire qui cupit in libro Additamentorum invenire praevalebit Which compared with his Istud detestabile factum Romano erat Pontifici PER BARONES significatum in this very Letter his Magnates Nobiles terrae c. And his Tale iniit Consilium UNIVERSITAS BARNAGII will undeniably manifest That the Barons and Universality of the Baronage only not the meer Commons of England writ and sent this Letter and were the tota Communitas mentioned and intended in it in whose behalf these 11 Earls and Grandees subscribed and sealed it not the UNIVERSITAS REGNI POPULARIS ETSI NON NOBILES whom Mat. Paris distinguisheth from them by this very expression in the same year and upon the same occasion who Pictavienses obsiderent et Castra eorum funditus dissiparent Wherefore neither the signing nor sealing of this Letter by them Vice totius Communitatis nor this Clause in it Etsi Dominus Rex et Magnates hoc vellent COMMUNITAS tamen ipsius ingressum in Angliam nullatenus sustinerent meant only of the Vulgar Rable or Uiversitas Regni popularis as Mat. Paris stiles them who were much inraged against him being the same in substance with that phrase in King Henry the first his Letter unto Pope Paschal not in but out of Parliament Et si ego quod absit in tanta me dejectione ponâ—rem Optimates vero et TOTUS ANGLIAE POPULUS ID NULLO MODO PATERETUR can be any convincing or probable evidence at all that this Bishop elect of Winchester was then judicially banished by the joint consent of the King Nobles and Commons in Parliament as is suggested he being forced to fly thence through fear of their arms alone not banished by their judicial sentence as they thus expresly inform the Pope in another Letter sent to him with the former to inhibit his return Maxime CUM IPSE A REGNO EXPULSUS NON EXTITERIT SED SPONTE CESSERIT non ausus exhibitionem Iustitiae quae singulis secundum Iuramenta Regis Procerum debebatur expectare Much lesse is it any proof that the Commons in that age had a Voice and consent in Parliament Iudgments of all Natures since they never had it in succeeding ages unlesse it were by way of Bill as the whole Commons House acknowledged in the Parliament of 1 H. 4. n. 79. and I have manifested at large in my Plea for the Lords no more than that they had then a Speaker or House of Commons which is clear by subsequent Parliaments in this Abridgement they had not till many years after 44 H. 3. and after the Parl. of 6 E. 3. 3ly This will most evidently appear by the Barons Letter sent to King Henry the third to Lewes Anno Dom. 1264. the 48 year of his reign from their Camp Barones alii fideles sui c. subscribed only by the Earl of Leicester and Gilbert de Clare ad Petitionem aliorum And by the Letter of Richard King of Romans Prince Edward the Kings eldest son caeterique Barones omnes Milites praedicto Regi Angliae constanter adhaerentes fide sincera opibus sent to the Barons in answer thereunto thus subscribed Rex Alemanniae Edwardus filius Regis nomine suo aliorum Regi adhaerentium Omnes nos contenti sumus praedictorum Dominorum sigillis In both which Letters the two Earls and the King of Romans and Prince Edward joyntly signed and sealed in the Name of all the Barons Knights and others of either party and not one of them as a Proctor or Speaker to the Commons and the other as Proxie to the Barons and Lords both Letters being writ from their Camp not Parliament and neither of them relating to the Commons House or Judicature in Parliament just like this Letter concerning Bishop Adomar Therefore no inference can be thence deduced to prove the Commons had either any House Speaker or Judicature in the Parliaments of 42 or 44 of Henry the third The first expresse writ I find of any Knights of Counties by name summoned to our Parliaments as Members is that of Claus. 49 H. 3. dors 10 11. requiring Sheriffs to summon 2. Knights out of every County to the Paâ—liament which was presently after the battel of Evesham the same year the Earl of Leicester was slain the Barons totally routed by Pr.

B. of Davids by the commandment of the King declared the cause of the Parliament as followeth viz. First for the liberties of the Church maintenance of the Laws and observations of the Peace Secondly for that it was enacted that a Parliament should yearly be holden Thirdly for that the King desired to see and to consult with them so honorable an Assembly there gathered in Gods name which he commendeth willing unity and concord among them to be according to the resemblance of the Church Another great cause was for that the King being left in the midst of great Wars could not endure and maintain the same without their Aid He sheweth further that since the great villany and damage done by the Scots at Roxburgh at Truce thereupon taken for a time they the same Scots have allied themselves with the French to the end to depart from the same Truce and by all means to annoy the King and his friends All which to recite and the charges thereof to bear he willeth them deeply to consider One great mischief in the Commonweal he remembreth them viz. That the Law of the Land and the Law of Arms do not concur together by certain similitudes he wisheth them of those two Laws to make a Relative so as they may stand with the other Another mischief he noteth to wit Slanderers and sowers of discord between Nobles Gentlemen and Neighbours the which kind of men he resembleth to Dogs that eat raw flesh so applying them to eat and consume living men For all which enormities he wisheth them to seek redress and to be there the next day by eight of the clock to hear further Declarations and the Commons to keep the Chapter house within the great Cloister of the Abby aforesaid 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 Gascoin c. as above The Friday after the two and twentieth of October the Lords and Commons assembled in the said great Hall where Sir Richard le Scroop Steward of the Kings Houshold declaring his own unworthiness there to speak shewed them how they were invironed with enemies and the King importably charged for keeping possession beyond the Seas namely that Callis cost him yearly twenty thousand pounds Brest twelve thousand marks besides Ireland Cherburgh Burdeaux and Bayn he sheweth that the old grant of the last Parliament was onely dispended in the Wars as the Officers could declare he wisleth them to consult for the rescue and the mean how to levie the charges After that the Commons came before the King where Sir Iames Pickering knight Speaker of the Parliament for the Commons maketh his Protestation as well for himself as for the whole House And first for the Commons That if he should speak any thing which happily might be ill taken it might be as as nothing so as the Commons at any time might amend the same And so much for himself He therefore rehearseth the whole charge of the Parliament pronoun the Chancellor and to the first points touching the liberties of the Church maintenance of the Laws and observations for the Peace the Commons making low curtesies rendred therefore most humble thanks and pray God for the execution of the same To the aid required for the King he sheweth how in the last Parliament upon the like motion to the Commons repeating the great charges of the King by the Treasurer they then made answer that they saw no such cause of aid whereunto for the King it was then replyed that the Kings Coronation was chargeable and that if the Commons would grant such reasonable aid whereby the King might thereby provide an army that they nothing doubted but that the King of himself might continue the same without charging them of long time upon which promise and hope the Commons did then grant the same large aid and being now unable to do the same require pardon thereof thinking that a great part of the same grant remained yet in the Kings Treasury The said Sir Richard le Scroop not knowing any such promise of discharge made in the last Parliament charging them with unâ—ruth for surmising any rest of the last grant to be And thereto calleth for witness William Walworth and Iohn Philpot Citizens of London and Treasurers appointed and sworn Thereupon the Commons make request to know how and in what manner the same sums were defraied whether some were not therefore indebted and who should be Councellors and great Officers
