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. Brook Parl. 11. 8 H. 6. n. 57. 23 H. 6. n. 41. 31 H. 6. n. 36 27 28. 14 E. 4. n. 55. 17 E. 4. n. 36. with other Presidents cited in my Plea for the Lords 6. 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. Smith Iohn Vowel Hotinshed Statham Fitzherbert Brook Mr. Richard Crompton Mr Cambden Doctor Cowel Minshew and Sir Edward Cook with

The Statute shall be kept That the Statute of Westminster may be declared what ways a Tenant in tail may alien The Law therein heretofore shall stand It is enacted That Non-claim of Fines levied surrendred do bar no man of his Action That the Executor of the Executor may have the like Action as the Testator had and that the Administrator may have the like The case of the Executor is against the Law and to the Administrator the Bishop shall have the action sith he is to answer That no man be impleaded in Court Christian for Tenths of Wood or Underwood but in places accustomed As heretofore the same shall be It is enacted That Parceners and Jointenants against whom Recoveries were had upon any Action ancestrial on Summons and Severance may and shall have their Writs without naming the others who recovered It is enacted That a Stone of Wooll shall contain but fourteen pounds and that twenty six Stone make a Sack It is also agreed That the Sheriffs shall continue but one whole year and that all Sheriffs be removed out of their Offices the day after All-Souls and that others be therein placed by the Chancellor Treasurer and Justices and Barons of the Exchequer That the Laws of the Realm be free and denied to no man the which are now so dear as no man can well follow them Let declaration done by Ordinaries by taking upon them cognisance of the Temporal Laws be redressed They shall answer to the Law That the Kings Officers may receive the Coin of Farthings and that they may be good Sterling and not utterly revoked Let the good money be as heretofore until other order On the back-side of the Roll Are contained sundry Articles of Advice given by the Merchants of the Staple to the whole Parliament containing in effect these heretofore named To abate the prices of the Florines to raise Forty shillings Custom in every Sack of Wooll and to establish the Staple rather in England then beyond the Seas and there you may see the strange practice for abusing the Staple The Commons find great default of Provisions coming from Rome whereby strangers were enabled within this Realm to enjoy Ecclesiastical dignities and shewed divers inconveniences ensuing thereby namely the decay of Hospitality the transporting of the Treasure to nourish the Kings mortal enemies the discovering of the secrets of the Realm and the disinabling and impoverishing the Clerks within this Realm They also shew how the Pope had in most covert wise granted to two new Cardinals sundry Livings within this Realm and namely to Cardinal Parrigots above ten thousand marks yearly tax They therefore require the King and Nobles to find some remedy for that they neither could nor would any longer bear those strange oppressions or else to help them to expell out of this Realm the Popes power by force The King understanding of these mischiefs willeth that between the Lords and Commons some remedy may be had whereto he might c. Hereupon the King Lords and Commons sent for an Act made at Carlisle in the 25 year of Edward the First upon the like complaint thereby forbidding that any thing should be attempted or brought into the Realm which should tend to the blemishment of the Kings Prerogative or in prejudice of his Lords and Commons And so at this time the Act called The Act of Provision was made by common consent which generally forbiddeth the bringing in of any Bull or such trinkets from the Court of Rome or the using allowing or enjoying of any such Bull Process Instruments or such Ware as thereby at large doth appear Anno decimo Octavo Edwardi Tertii Rex c.

edition of banes in a private Chamber a prophane place and not openly in the face of the Church after the Law of Gods Church but contrary thereunto and the laudable custom of the Church of England and how also at the time of the contract of the same pretended Mariage and before and long time after the said King Edward was and stood maried and troth-plight to one Dame Elinor Butler daughter to the Earl of Shrewsbury with whom the said King Edward had made a Pre-contract of Matrimony long time before he made the said pretended Mariage with the said Elizabeth Gray in manner and form aforesaid Which premisses being true as in very truth they be true it appeareth and followeth evidently that the said King Edward during his life and the said Elizabeth lived together sinfully and damnably in adultery against the Law of God and of his Church and therefore no marvel that the Soveraign Lord and head of the land being of such ungodly disposition and provoking the ire and indignation of our Lord God such heynous mischief and Inconveniences as are above remembred were used and committed in the Realm amongst the Subjects Also it appeareth evidently and followeth that all the issue and children of the said King Edward be Bastards and unable to inherit or claim any thing by inheritance by the Law and custom of England Moreover we consider how that afterwards by the three Estates of this Realm assembled in Parliament holden at Westminster Anno 17. of the reign of the said King Edward the fourth he then being in possession of the Crown and royal Estate by Act made in the same Parliament George Duke of Clarence brother to the King Edward now deceased was convicted and attainted of High Treason as in the said Act is contained more at large because and by reason whereof all the issue of the said George was and is disabled and barred of all right and claim that in any case they might have or challenge by inheritance to the Crown and Dignity royal of this Realm by the antient Laws and Customs of this same Realm Over this we consider that you be the undoubted heir of Richard Duke of York very inheritor of the said Crown and dignity royal and as in right King of England by way of Inheritance And that at this time the premises duely considered there is none other person living but you onely that may claim the said Crowne and Dignity royal by way of Inheritance and how that you be born within this Land by reason whereof as we deem in our minds you be more naturally inclined to the prosperity and common-weal of the same And all the three Estates of the Land have and may have more certain knowledge of your birth and filiation aforesaid We consider also thâ— great Wit Prudence Justice Princely courage and the memorable and laudable acts in divers battels which as we by experience know you heretofore have done for the defence and salvation of this Realmâ— and also the great noblenesse and excellency of your birth and bloud as of him that is descended of the three most royal houses of Christendome that is to say England France and Spain Wherefore these premises duly by us considered we desiring effectually the peace tranquillity and weal publique of this Land and the reduction of the same to the antient honourable estate and prosperity And having in your great prudent Justice Princely courage and excellent vertue singular confidence have chosen in all that in us is and by that our Writing choose you high and mighty Prince our King and Soveraign Lord c. to whom we know of certain it appertaineth of Inheritance so to be chosen And hereupon we humbly desire pray and require your most Noble grace that according to this election of us theâ— Three Estates of your Land as by inheritance you will accept and take upon you the said Crown and royal dignity with all things thereunto annexed and appertaining as to you of right belonging as well by inheritance as by lawfull election and in case you so do we promise to assist and serve your Highnesse as true and faithfull Subjects and Liege-men and to live and dye with you in this matter and in every other just quarrel for certainly we be determined rather to adventure and commit us to the peril of our lives and jeopardy of death than to live in such thraldom and bondage as we have done long time heretofore oppressed and injured by Extortions and new Impositions against the Law of God and Man and the liberties and old policy and Laws of this Land wherein every Englishman is inherited Our Lord God King of all Kings by whose infinite goodnesse and eternal providence all things been principally governed in this world lighten your Soul and grant you grace to do as well in this matter as in all other that which may be according to his will and pleasure and to the common and publique weal of this Land So that after great clouds troubles storms and tempests the Sun of Justice and of Grace may shine upon us to the joy and comfort of all true-hearted English men Albeit that the right title and estate which our Soveraign Lord King Richard the Third hath to and in the Crown and royal dignity of this Realm of England with all things thereunto within the same Realm and without it annexed and appertaining been just and lawfull as grounded upon the Laws of God and Nature and also upon the antient Laws and laudable Customs of this said Realm And also taken and reputed by all such persons as been learned in the abovesaid Lawes and Customs Yet neverthelesse for as much as it is considered that the most part of the people is not sufficiently learned in the abovesaid Laws and Customs whereby the truth and right in this behalf of likelihood may be hid and not clearly known to all the people and thereupon put in doubt and question And over this how that the Court of Parliament is of such authority and the people of this Land of such a nature and disposition as experience teacheth that manifestation and declaration of any truth or right made by the Three estates of this Realm assembled in Parliament and by authority of the same maketh before all other things most faith and certain quieting of mens minds and removeth the occasion of doubts and seditious language Therefore at the request and by the assent of the Three Estates of this Realm that is to say the Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons of this Land assembled in this present Parliament and by authority of the same be it pronounced decreed and declared that our said Soveraign Lord the King was and is the very undoubted King of this Realm of England with all things thereunto within the same Realm and

AN EXACT ABRIDGEMENT OF THE RECORDS IN THE TOWER of LONDON From the reign of King Edward the Second unto King Richard the Third of all the Parliaments holden in each Kings reign and the several Acts in every Parliament Together with the Names and Titles of all the Dukes Marquesses Earls Viscounts and Barons summoned to every of the said Parliaments COLLECTED By Sir ROBERT COTTON Knight and Baronet Revised rectified in sundry mistakes and supplied with a Preface Marginal Notes Several Omissions and Exact Tables both of the Special Matters Great Officers Speakers Nobles and other Persons therein conteined By WILLIAM PRYNNE Esquire a Bencher of Lincolns Inne LONDON Printed for William Leake Stationer at the Crown in Fleetstreet between the two Temple Gates 1657. 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. Rich. 2. the explanation of the Charter of the Stanneries in the Parliament of 50 E. 3. the Abridgment of the beginning of the 1. Parliament of 5 R. 2. to numb 14. with the end of 15 R. 2. n. 36. c. wholly omitted in the Stationers Copy without any alteration except in the Clerks misprisions in or addition to the Text it self to avoid the Censure of being an over-officious Critick in another deceased honourable persons Posthumus Work After which perusal of the Copy finding neither Notes of direction in the Margin nor Tables in the end of this Abridgement to direct the Reader readily to finde out the principal things or Names of persons therein comprised I thereupon supplyed these defects with such Marginal Notes and Tables thereto annexed as might render it most usefull to the Buyers comprizing the Principal matters therein contained together with the Names of the Nobles and other persons mentioned therein in Alphabetical Tables with the names of the Admirals Chancellors Constables Marshals Iudges Protectors Privy Seals Speakers of Parliament Stewards of the Kings House and other Great Officers mentioned in it in a Chronological Order with the years Sections Pages wherein they are recorded Which additional Supplements will render it much more usefull and beneficial to the Reader upon all occasions than it would have been without them The Subject matter of this Exact Abridgement consisting wholly of Records or Rolls of Parliament and the principal matters of greatest publike and private concernment in Peace or War debated adjudged transacted in this supremest Court of the Realm both for Iudicature Consultation with the Names of all the Nobility summoned to or created in our Parliaments never formerly published in print and generally unknown to most Judges Lawyers Historians Gentlemen Bookmen of all Professions will sufficiently blazon and proclaim its Eminency Utility Excellency Complacency and Desirableness to every intelligent Reader beyond all other late publications and uncertain Reports of private Persons or Cases lately published or any Histories yet set forth without any other Proemial Encomiums yea the manifold discoveries it makes of the Variances of sundry printed Statutes from the Parliament Records both in form and substance and of divers bastard Statutes put in print never extant on Record which Sir Edward Cook hath gleaned out of this Abridgement and inserted into his 4 Institutes p. 50 51 52. though he there assumes the first discovery and honor of it to himself alone will undeniably demonstrate how worthy it is the most serious perusal of the greatest as well as meanest Professors of the Law who commonly take all printed Statutes and Reverend Sir Edward Cooks oft mistaken Records for undoubted Oracles without comparing them with the original Records themselves out of over-much laziness or credulity If any supercilious persons shall disdain or slight it because it is but an Abridgement and so not comparable to the Records themselves at large or object out of Sir Edward Cooks Reports and Institutes who oft forgot this lesson himself inculcates Satius et tutius est petere fontes quam sectari rivulos I answer That though
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.

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
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. The counsel of the wise Counsellors of Pharaoh is become brutish The Princes of Zoan are become fools the Princes of Noph are deceived they

Catherine in the Fourth year of King Edward the Third THe Treasons Felonies and other misdeeds of Roger Mortimer are particularly repeated a great part whereof cannot be read for that the Roll is mouldred But in the end it appeareth that the King charged the Lords and Peers who as Iudges of the Land by the Kings assent adjudged That the said Roger as a Traitor should be drawn and hanged Whereupon the Earl-Marshal by commandment with the aid of the Mayor and Sheriffs of London and Constable of the Tower executed him the Thursday next after the first day of the same Parliament The Judgment of Simon Bereford Knight as of Councel with the said Roger whom the Marshal executed the Monday next after Saint Thomas the Apostle The like Judgment was given against Iohn Mantrevers Knight as being guilty of the death of Edmund Earl of Kent to be executed if the said Iohn could be found and that Proclamation should be made that whoso could bring the said Iohn alive should have a thousand Marks for a reward and who could bring his head five hundred Marks The like Judgments were given against Bogo de Bayons and Iohn Devarel for the cause aforesaid and large rewards promised for their apprehension The like Judgments are had against Thomas of Gourney and William of Ogle for murdering of King Edward the Second with large promises for their apprehension It was enacted That albeit the Lords and Peers of the Realm as Judges of the Parliament in the presence of the King had taken upon them to give Judgment of such as were no Peers of the Realm That hereafter no Peers should be driven to give Iudgment on any others then on their Peers An act That William Archbishop of York Stephen Bishop of London William Abbot of Lugdon William la Zouch and many others who were
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.

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.
