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
and levying of Huâ— and Cry And it was by the King Bishops Lords and Commons enacted and agreed that a sentence of Excommunication should be published in every Church throughout the Realm 1. To excommunicate all Breakers of the Peace 2. To excommunicate all such as should defend receive or be privie thereunto 3. That all Obligations and such like instruments thereupon made be utterly void so far as lyeth in the Bishop and all others or by them dispenced By the fift and sixt titles before it may appear that at this time the Lords and Commons were of one House and that then there was no Speaker for the Commons Touching the Kings Voyage to the Holy Land it was thought too timely and therefore deferred for three years Touching the Treaty with the French and alliance by Marriage The King by Sir Ieffery le Scroop sheweth How the French King declareth to the Kings Ambassador that so as the King would come over in person he should finde great friendship Of whom requiâ—ing advice therein Answer was made That for those respectâ— they agreed thereunto deferring the Kings expedition into Ireland for one year so as aid might be sent in the mean time The Saturday next after the beginning of the Parliament the same was dissolved Touching the debate between Sir Iohn Grey of Rotherfield and Sir William de la Zouch which was heard before the King and his Councel in whose presence there fell great woâ—ds between them so as the said Iohn drew his knife upon him in the Kings presence for the which they were both commanded to prison and being after brought forth to their answers the said William was delivered and the said Iohn recommitted to prison during the Kings pleasure Anno Sexto Edwardi Tertii The Parliament holden at Westminster the morrow after the Nativity of our Lady in the Sixth year of King E. 3. THe Bishop of Winchester Chancellor of England declareth That the Parliament was called touching French affairs and the Kings expedition thither for repressing his Enemies At this day were proclaimed the Articles contained in the last Parliament 1.2.3 The Parliament was adjourned until Thursday following at what time considering the news from the North they doubted the Scots arrival Whereforeâ— the Bishops by themselves the Lords by themselves and the Knights by themselves advised the King to stay his journey into Ireland and to send thither a new supply of men and money to stay within the Realm and with an armed power to go towards the North there to lie ready for the Scot. Towards which Exploit They granted to the King one Disme and one Fifteen to be levied of the Laity so as the King will live of his own without grieving of his Subjects with outragious prizes or such like Whereupon The King revoked the new Commissions for reaâ—ing of Tallages and promiseth from henceforth to remise the same according to the old rate Anno Sexto Edwardi Tertii The Remembrances of the Parliament summoned at York the Friday next before the Feast of S. Michael in the Sixth year of Edward the Third Mense Decembris MEmorandum That the Parliament began before the King came to York On Friday the King was not come to York but remained not far from thence looking for the coming of such as were warned thereto Wherefore at this day the Parliament was adjourned till Monday after and from Monday until Tuesday then ensuing At which day Sir Ieffery le Scroop Knight by the Kâ—nâ—s commandment shewed the Kings approach thither which was uttered in the last Parliament And for that he understood that Edward Bayliol had proclaimed himself King of Scotland he required Councel of the whole Estate viz. Whether it were better for him to assail Scotland or to claim the Demesne of the same or else by making himself party to take the advantage and thereby to enjoy the services as other his Ancestors had But forasmuch as most of the States were absent the Assembly require the continuance of the Parliament until the Utas of S. Hilary then next ensuing at York which was granted and new Summons eâ—pecially awarded to evâ—ry pâ—rson with especial charge to attend so as the affâ—irs between the King and thâ— Realm might not be delayed for the debate betwixt the Archbishops of Canterbury and York for their supreme bearing of their Crosses To thâ—s Parliament came no other of the Clergy then the Archbishop of York the Bishops of Lincoln and Carlile and the Abbots of York and Selby The Archbishop of Canterbury came not nor any other of his Province and all for bearing of the Cross. Whereby the same was not only loss of the opportunity to Scotland but also an importable charge to the whole Estate by a new Reassembly The Reassembly of the Parliament adjourned unto York unto the Uta's of S. Hilary 6. Eâ— 3. REceivers of Petitions for England Receivers of Petitions for Gascoyne Ireland Wales and the Foreign Isles Tryers of Petitions for England Tryers of Petitions for Gascoyne c. as above An Order for the trying of Petitions as well before the King as before the Lords It was enacted That the Articles expressed in the last Parliamâ—nt should be proclaimed by the Steward and Marshal and by the Mayor and Bailiffs at York The same day commandment was given to the Mayor of York in the presence of the King in full Parliament to see the Peace kept in the same City and Suburbs thereof and to arrest them that did the contrary The Thursday after being the second day of the Parliament Sir Godfrey le Scroop in the presence of the King declareth to the whole Estates the Circumstances of the two last Assemblies and how the Bishop of Winchester and others were appointed to consult on certain causes The Saturday after the Bishop of Winchester and other Committees declared how he and they had consulted on the whole matter but for that the same greatly imported they were not therein fully resolved whereupon they wish the King to take advice of the Pope and of the French King for his better proceeding therein And further That the King would appoint Wardens of the Marches of the North. Whereupon the Commons had license to depart and the Lords commanded to attend unto the next day at which time the Parliament was dissolved Anno Octavo Edwardi Tertii Petitions and Acts moved at the Parliament holden at York the next before S.
