Denmark Swecia Norway Croatia Dalmatia and Scotland are the Popes Vassals Tributaries holding all their Crowns Kingdoms from him as his Feudatories under several annual rents and tributes and an Oath of Homage and Fealty It is no wonder therefore if they pretend the like Title under the like Tenure and Vassallage to the Realms of England and Ireland Pope Alexander the 2d had the impudency to affirm That ever since the kingdom of England received Christianity it hath been in the hands and power of St Peter if his Epistle be not forged by e Baronius If this were a truth then King Iohns resignation of his kingdom to the Pope was only a restitution of that antient right the Pope had thereto before in Recognition of the Popes Soveraign Dominion over it and his resuming of it from the Pope under an annual rent nothing but an revival of the former Service due to Rome as f Marta g Carerius and h Schioppius argue in the cases of Constantines pretended Donation Charles the Great Pepins and others grants of Lands and Territories to the See of Rome But none of our Monks or Historians of that or any age since though professed Votaries to the Pope ever made such a pretence or conclusion as this Therefore it is a meer forgery a Cardinal Bellarmin and other Romanists falsely averre That the kingdom of England was semper Beneficiarium et Tributarium Romano Pontifici because King Ina and Offa Anno 740. Adelphus Anno 847. paid a penny for every house to Saint Peter by way of Tribute confirmed by several Lawes And King Henry the 2d acknowledged the Pope to be his Temporal Lord himself his Feudatory and his Kingdom the Popes Patrimony The falshood of which having at large refuted I shall pretermit as fabulous only if true it quite subverts or enervates this Charter of King Iohn and reservation of the annual rent as a New thing honor rent not formerly acknowledged by his predecessors But their principal Title to England and Ireland is from King Iohns Charter under his golden Bull which they boast to be yet extant in the Vatican by which the Pope hath as Bellarmine and Marta assert Directum Dominium in Regnum Angliae et Hiberniae that King Iohn and his Successors are thereby made Feudatories and Vassals to the Pope whence b Pope Innocent the 3d. in a vaunting manner said of King Iohn Vassallus noster est Rex Angliae et Romanae Ecclesiae To counterplead and enervate this Grand pretended Title of the Pope I shall desire the Readers to consider 1. That Sir Thomas Moor Lord Chancellor of England who c lost his head under King Henry the 8. his Master in defence of the Popes Supremacy in England is so far ashamed of Pope Innocents proceedings against King Iohn that he avowes it in print d to be utterly UNTRUE that King John did make his Realms thus Tributdry to the Pope or that ever such pensions were paid to Rome for them wherein doubtlesse he mistakes Adding That if he so did or any other English King should so do such an act was of no validity at all as Rossius Warwicensis also resolves 2ly That e Edmond Campian a great Advocate for the Papacy writes Such Instruments might happily then be moved and drawn and yet dye unratified though the copies stand recorded denying any annual pensions paid thereby for England or Ireland to Rome 3ly f M. Antonius Coccius Sabellicus informes us That this pretended Rent out of England and Ireland was granted by King Iohn out of a Religious Vow to expiate his gaining these kingdoms by fratricide without mentioning any Charter or resignation Haâ—d mâ—riâ—ò post Johannes Rex Angliae Ricardum fratrem interfecit Regnumque parricidio adeptus à Ludovico Philippi filio qui tum in Gallia regnabat gravi bello petitus est Tum vero novisse fertur si regnum sibi incolume mansisset futurum ut Anglia et Hybernia vectigales essent Apostolicae sedis magnumque auro pondus voto nuncupavit quod duae illustres Insulae quotannis Romano Pontifico penderent sui itaque Voti damnatus quum ipse tum Successores plerique ut rite actum erat ratum habuere But this voluminous Historian is utterly mistaken in his whole relation of this pension For 1. King Iohn did not murder his brother King Richard who died of a shot out of Chaluz Castle as all our g Historians record 2ly He obtained not the Realm by parricide but by his Brothers special bequest at his death and heir to him 3ly This Rent was granted before Lewis the French Kings Sonne warred on him upon Philips intended invasion but admit it true the very force of warr nulls it 4ly None of our Historians mention any such Vow of King John as the cause of this grant 5ly Not one much lesse many of his Successors acknowledged it rightly granted nor ever confirmed but protested against it as null though one or two of them now and then voluntarily paid it upon other grounds Raphael Volaterans Geogr. l. 3. f. 54. concurring with Sabellicus records that Johannis cum gravi bello à Ludovico Gallorum Rege premeretur EX VOTO Angliam Iberniamque Romano Pontifice Vectigales fecit ut auri Marcas 70. quotannis penderent Anno salutis 1208. he being mistaken in the occasion quarrel summe year of the grant which was not till 1213. and Lewis his warre above a year after that And admit it true this Vow Grant being made by Duresse and force of Warr can be of no validity 4ly h Polydor Virgil a Stranger but yet the last collector of the Popes Peter-pence in England who pried into our Histories Annals and the i Century writers out of him write thus of this Rent and Grant reciting King Iohns surrender of his Crown Nunquamnisi à Romano Papa recepturus sic enim fieri jusserat Nocentius crudelis et sanguinis Anglici sitientissimus add the Centuriators ex quo fama est Johannem cupientem perpetuare memoriam muneris accepti therfore a meer free gift not tribute in their judgements ea lege fuisse se Beneficiarium not tributarium ut Reges deinceps à Pontifice duntaxat Romano jura regni consequerentur Caeterum has reconciliationis Leges qui secuti sunt Reges mimme servarunt neque Annales Anglici de hujusmodi donatione loquuntur Iohanni tantummodo qui deliquisset imposita non item Successoribus sustinenda fuisse satis constat So that by this resolution of the Popes own Collector in England the grant of these annual rents obliged only King John himself the delinquent who imposed them not his heirs successors or kingdoms in the least degree To which the Century collectors assent 5ly a Matthew Paris and Matthew Westminster themselves both Monks extraordinary Votaries to the Popes and inveterate Enemies to King John deride scorn his Charter to the Pope which they first inserted into their Histories stiling it

Of manifest perjury against his Coronation Oath 2ly Of Constraint 3ly Of Combination 4ly Of fear he being drawn thereto by the Pope himself who had set up both the French power and his own Barons and Prelates against him 5ly An act of a person actually interdicted excommunicated by the Pope himself and so unable to avouch or grant any thing to the Church or Pope 6ly The witnesses if any were stood excommunicated for conversing with him 7ly Neither the Barons 8ly Nor the Clergy 9ly Nor the body of the Kingdom people 10ly Nor his next heir and successor to the Crown ever consented thereto 11ly Fraught with many false untruths as done freely and voluntarily without fear or force in a general assembly of the Barons by their advice and consent by the inspiration of the holy Ghost because the King had nothing fit to give away to God or the Pope for the satisfaction of his sins but his crown and kingdomes 12ly From the proviso of exception in the Grant Salvis nobis haeredibus nostris Justitiis Libertatibus Regalibus nostris extant in both charters if there were two which saves the right of Soveraignty Kingship and Soveraign Dominion in and over the Kingdoms of England and Ireland intirely to the King which he never transferred to the Pope The Liberty of a King is freely and absolutely to rule his Subjects according to Law without being subject or servant to any Superiour and the very essence of Regality Independency of Authority on any but God alone Now these being expresly reserved excepted utterly made void whatsoever was before mentioned either as granting Soveraignty and doing homage and fealty by his Successors for the Kingdoms to the Pope as his Subjects and the subsequent clause of losing the right and inheritance of the crown in case of contradicting ought therein mentioned after
to be good Husbands but is most commonly wasted and given unto them that have least deserved and so for want of money to redeem this Land the Common-weale falls to decay then do they also sell the Commons whereby the poor are relieved It were more fit to sell the wast Lands of the Common-weale the which no man will hire and brings no benefit to the Common-weale to the end the Treasury may be enriched and that the Citizens may profit by the tilling thereof But if they may have a Farmer it is not lawfull to sell it Although that Aristotle commends them of Constantinople who sold their Lands for a continual Rent the which is a meer Alienation and money taken before diminisheth the Rent the which was expresly defended by an Edict made by Charles the Ninth And although that afterwards he made another Edict for the renting out of waste Lands and paying of Fines by the perswasion of such as sought to make money For the Parliament of Paris upon the Verification of the said Edict decreed That the Rents should not be redeemed and that there should be no Fine pay'd at the beginning and for that the Commissioners for this Sale did sue unto the King that it might be lawfull to give money at the entry The Court all the Chambers being assembled decreed That the purchasers might not give above a third of the sum at the entry in regard of the value of the Lands the which third part should be received by the receivers of the Revenues a part to be imployed to redeem the revenues that are sold imposing a Quadruple penalty to be Levyed as well upon Receivers as those that had gotten any assignation of the said Moneyes And it is not here needful to relate what losses the King and Common weal have sustayned by such Alienation of the Wast Lands King Francis the second coming to the Crown Commanded his Proctors and Magistrates to redeem the publique Revenues from private occupyers wherein he Complained that the Crown Lands and Revenues were so dismembred and wasted as that which remained did not suffice for the charges that were layd upon them But our King hath far greater cause to Complaine now when as there scarce remaines any thing that is to be sold In the general Accounts of the Treasure made in January in the year 1572. there was no receit made of any Revenues although there was six and Thirty Tousand Crowns in the Receit When as King Francis died as it appeareth by an Account of the Treasure made in the year 1569. and by the same Estate the Alienation of the revenues Impositions and subsidies amounted to Foureteen Millions Nine Hundred sixty and one Thousand Four Hundred and seaventy Livres fiften Soulz and eighty deniers not comprehending Twelve Hundred Thousand Livres for the fourth and half fourth and Four Hundred and fifty Thousand Livres upon the strike of salt the which the Country Guienne redeemed in the years 1549. and 1553.

Teste Domino P. Wintoniensis Episcopo apud Westm. 26. die Januarii Anno Regni nostri tertio Per eundem H. de Burgo Justiciarum This in my observation is the first president that Tryals ratified by our Civill Laws and antient usage in the Realm were altered and set a side upon consideration of the Decrees of Popes and the Church of Rome by the King and his
Counsils advice and Writ without an Act of Parliament but the Justice of the Decrees the superstition incertainty and injustice of the former kinds of Tryals might be a suffient warrant for such an alteration as this for the better Book 4. Chap. 3 p. 373. between l. 4 and 5. this should have been inserted In the second year of King Henry the third Pope Honorius the third upon the earnest Petition of the Abbot and Monks of Saint Albans granted them this Bull and confirmed all former Bulls of his predecessors and Charters of our Kings whereby any Priviledges Lands Cells Churches or ought else were formerly granted or which hereafter should be granted to them with exemptions from all Regal Episcopal and other Taxes services jurisdictions whatsoever but only of the Pope himself or his Legate being a Cardinal reserving one ounce of Cold to be annually payd to him and his successors for the Liberties and Priviledges ratified and granted in or by this Bull to which his Cardinals subscribed and for which no doubt he received a considerable summe in hand from the Monastery HONORIUS Episcopus servus servorum Dei Dilectis filiis Willielmo Abbati Monasterii Sancti Albani ejusque fratribus tà m praesentibus quà m futuris
