properly called Vectigalia à mercibm evectis invectis are the most ancient duties payable to the King so are the same grounded saith Bodin upon the greatest reason and equity in the world quid est enim rationi aequitati magis consentaneum quàm is qui in nostro territorio ex nostris questum facit principi nostro cujus permissu sub cujus protectione negotiatu● aliquod perdat presolvat And this common reason and equity which is the ground of these duties payable for Merchandizes what is it else but the Law of Nations which is nothing else but that which common reason hath establisht amongst all men for the common good of all men and which all Nations have received and imbraced for their mutual benefit and commoditie Neither is this the onely Prerogative which the King of England hath by the Law of Nations habet Rex in regno suo saith Bracton alia privilegia de jure Gentium propria viz. Soreceum maris thesaurum insentum grossos pisces balenas sturgiones Wavias c. huiusmodi de jure Gentium pertinent ad Coronam saith Stampford Prerogativa Regis fol. 37. 6. Adde hereunto the absolute power of the King to make War and Peace League and Truces to grant safe Conducts to pardon all Offenders to distribute all degrees of Honour and the like wherein the King hath sole and absolute power Merum imperium non mixtum and which Prerogative is as antient as the Crown and incident to the Crown by the Law of Nations Lastly for the proof that our Common Law doth acknowledge and prove the Law of Nations in most of these cases The Book 19 Edw. 4. 6. doth approve the Kings absolute power in making War Peace and Leagues and in 37 Edw. 6. 20. That part of the Law of Nations whereby the High Constable and Marshall of England do proceed in their Courts of War and Chivalrie is called the Law of the Land We finde also the Kings sole power in 11 Hen. 4. Rot.

Magna Charta cap. 30. and the Register wherein we find Writs of Reprisall CHAP. III. Of the Law Merchant which is a branch of the Law of Nations and how it differs from our Common Law and how in the judgement of our Law Merchandizes do differ from other Goods Chattels which do not crosse the Seas and how the Common Law and Statute Law of England do admit and allow of the Law Merchant MErcatura vel Societas Mercatorum est magna Respublica saith Vlpian and therefore that Common-wealth of Merchants hath alwayes had a peculiar and proper Law to rule and govern it this Law is called the Law Merchant wherof the Laws of all Nations do take speciall knowledge first both the Common Law and Statute Law of England do take notice of the Law Merchant and do leave the causes of Merchants and Merchandizes to be decided by the rules of that Law for what saith the Book of 13 Edw. 4. 9 10 A Merchant Stranger made sute before the Kings Privy council for certain Bailes of Silk feloniously taken from him and it was moved that this matter might be determined by Common Law unto which motion the Lord Chancellor doth there answer This sute is brought by a Merchant who is not bound to sue according to the Law of the Land nor to tarry the tryal of twelve men nor other solemnity of the Law of the Land albeit the King hath jurisdiction of him within the Realm and may cause him to stand to his Judgement yet this must be according to the Law of Nature which some call the Law Merchant which is a Law universall throughout the word these are the words of that Book it is there resolved by all the Justices That if the Merchandizes of such a Merchant stranger be stollen and waved by the Felon the King himselfe shall not take those Merchandizes as waifes though in that case the goods of another person were lost by the Common Law of England Doth not this case make it manifest that in the judgement of our Common Law Merchandizes that crosse the Seas are goods of another nature quality and consideration than other goods and Chattels which are possessed within the Realm and do not crosse the Seas This learning is not common in our Books and therefore I think it meet to exemplifie this difference with more cases in this point If two Merchants be Joynt-Owners or Partners in Merchandizes which they have acquired by a Joynt-Contract in this case the one shall have an Action of Account against the other die legem mercatoriam saith the Register fol. 135. and F. N. 117. D. and yet by the rule of the Common Law if two men be joyntly possessed of other goods which are not Merchandizes the one shall not call the other to account for the same Again if two Merchants have a joynt Interest in Merchandizes if the own die the Survivor shall not have all but the Executor of the party deceased shall by the Law Merchant call the Survivour to an account for the moytie F. N. 117. D. whereas if there be two Joynts of other goods which are not Merchandizes the Survivor shall have all per jus accrescendi even by rule of the Common Law Again in an Action of Debt upon a simple Contract which is without Deed in writing the Defendant by the Common Law may wage his Law that is he may bar the Plantiff of his Action by taking an Oath that he doth not ow the Debt nor any part thereof and yet in Itin. Derby 2 Edw. 3. Iohn Crompton Merchant upon a Contract without Deed the Defendant would have waged his Law but was not permitted so to do and so Judgement was given against the said Defendant Again the goods of Ecclesiastical persons are discharged of Toll by the Common Law si non exerceat Marchandizas de eisdem saith the Register 259. a. for then their goods are charged being now become goods of another nature when the same are turned into Merchandizes so are the goods of the French Nobility discharged by Gabels and Impositions if they traffique not but if they traffique saith Bodin their goods are charged like other Merchandizes Again for goods wrongfully taken within the Land the Common Law giveth remedy against the Trespasser or the wrongfull Taker onely but if an English Merchant be spoiled of his Merchandizes upon the Sea or beyond the Sea by the Subject of another King the Register doth give him a Writ of Reprisall against all the Subjects of that Nation Regist. 122. 6. and 46 Hen. 3.

this was Magna Customa in the time of the Britans and though the certain rates thereof doth not appear yet because the same were gravia vectigalia in those dayes we may easily beleeve that Custome to have been greater than the demi mark for a Sack of Wooll Again the Statute of Magna Charia which was as ancient as King Iohn speaketh of ancient Customs payable for Merchandizes and the Book of 29 Edw. 3. maketh mention of ancient Customes granted to King Iohn in the Town of Southampton which doubtlesse were other Customes than that of the demi mark c. for that in the Record of the Tower 3 Edw. 1. Rot. sin 24. Rot. Patent of the same year m. 9. the demi mark which was first established by the Kings Letters Patents is called Nova Custuma and this was a diminution of the ancient Custome saith the Book of 30. H. 8. Dyer 43. Again when the same King Edw. 1. had by his Writ onely without Act of Parliament established the Custome of the demi mark c. in Ireland in all the Customers Accounts which are found in the Pipe-Rolls in the time of Edw. 1. Edw. 2. Edw. 3. in that Realm it is also called Nova Custuma which importeth as much as a new Imposition for Imposition is a new name and hath been of use but of late years whereas every new charge laid upon Merchandizes in ancient times was called Nova Custuma as the Lord chief Baron Fleming observed in his Argument in Bates Case of Currans in the Exchequor of England but because this Custome of a demi mark was a reducement made by King Edw. 1. of the great and ancient Custome to that proportion which was then thought reasonable as after upon sundry Petitions of the Commons was allowed by the succeeding Princes it obtained in tract of time the name of the great and ancient Custome this Custome of demi mark was not granted to the King by Parliament but reduced to that rate by the King by the prayer of the Cōmons as is expressed in the Record of 3. Edw. 1. fin memb. 24. for albeit the Charter for confirmation of Magna Charta made in 25 Edw. 1. doth recite That the demi mark was granted by the Cominaltie yet is there no Act of P. printed or recorded wherein that grant of the Cominaltie doth appear neither can it stand with the rule of reason that the demi mark being a diminution of the ancient Custome should proceed from the grant of the Cominalty to the King for the King would never have accepted of such a grant as did diminish his Revenue neither had it been thank-worthy or acceptable and therefore the King having a Negative voice would never have given his assent to such a grant in Parliament but it is to be presumed that this diminution of the ancient Custome was made in Parliament and not by Parliament and that by prayer of the Commons as the Record of 3 Edw. 1. Rot. fin memb. 24. testifieth the King was then well pleased for that time to draw down the ancient Custome to that rate and the people did willingly yeeld and consent to the payment thereof and this I take to be the true interpretation of the Charter or Statute made in 25 Edw. 1. And therefore because we find no Act of Parliament whereby the people did originally grant the great and ancient Customes to the King and because we find it was uncertain and subject to diminution and alteration we may conclude that it was but an imposition laid by the King from time to time by vertue of his Prerogative without any grant from the Cominalty of the Realm who can make no grant but by Act of Parliament in truth it were absurd to affirme that the great and ancient Custome imposed upon Native commodities of the Kingdom was first granted by Act of Parliament since it cannot be imagined that ever those commodities did passe out of the Kingdom without Custome being equal in time with the first Scepter and since the Scepter was established many hundred years before the people were called to be in Parliament besides the very name of Custome doth note and argue that it began before any Act of Parliament was made for that it signifieth a duty payable or accustomable to be paid time out of mind which in presumption of Law is before any Record wherefore the rules in the Lord Dyers Book are good Law viz. The King hath an Estate of Inheritance in the Custome payable for Merchandizes as being a Prerogative annexed to his Crown And again 30 Hen 8. 43. Custome is an Inheritance in the King by the Common Law and not given by any Statute CHAP. XI Of the ancient duties called Prizes taken out of Forreign goods imported except Wines and the petty-Customes of three pence of the pound were accepted by King Edw. 1. in lieu of Prizes FOr the Forreign commodities which are brought into England our Kings in ancient times did not take any Rates or Customes or Sums of Money but took such part of the severall commodities in specie as they thought fit for their proper use paying for that they took a price as themselves did likewise think fit and reasonable which was called the Kings price this Prerogative is proved by the rule of the Imperiall Law Rex non recognoscens superiorem potest è India in propria causa and also by the rule which is given 31 Edw. 3. 60. where the Bishop of Norwich having forfeited to the King thirty Talents of Beasants of Gold because the quantity and value thereof was uncertain it was adjudged that the Kings House should set down of what quantity and value every Talent should be and that the same should be paid accordingly and by the same Prerogative whensoever any Subject is to pay a Fine or Ransome unto the King for a contempt The King himfelf doth limit and set the Fine or Ransome at his own will or pleasure The Forreign commodities thus taken by the King in Spain at his own price were called Prizes but because these prizes were many times grievances to the Merchants and brought little or nothing to the Kings Coffers That prudent Prince Edw. 1. by that famous Charter called Charta Mercatoria made in the 31 year of his reign did remit unto all Merchant Strangers their prizes and did grant quod de caetero super mercimonia Merchandizas vel bona ipsorum per ipsum Regem vel Ministros suos nullos nulla appretiatio vel estimatio apponeretur quod nulla prisa vel arrestatio ratione prisae inde fieret c. and the Charter doth further recite That for the remission of these prizes the Merchants Strangers did grant unto the King three pence upon the pound now called the petty-custome out of all Forreign Merchandizes imported except Wines and for our Native commodities exported they would pay for every Sack of Wooll four

from the Interest the King hath in the parts of the Kingdom and the custody thereof which giveth him power to shut and open the same at his pleasure Again all the Ports of the Kingdome are the Kings not onely the Cinque-Ports which have a special Warden appointed by the King but the rest of the Ports are also his and many of them bear a mark of the Kings Inheritance in their Additions as Linn Regis Waymouth Melcombe Regis Pool Regis for the King is Custos totius Angliae Regni as the four Seas are the Walls of the kingdom so the Havens and Creeks are the Gates and Posterns of it They are Ostia they are Ianua Regni and we find two Ports in Italy called by those names the one at the mouth of Tiber the other corruptly called Genoa but the true name thereof is Ianua And as the Havens are Ianua Regni the King himself is Ianus and hath power to open and shut them at his pleasure Omnia sunt nostra clausa patentque manu Saith Ianus in the Poet And again Modo namque Patulchus idem modo sacrifico Clusius ore vocor The King of England hath ever had this Prerogative incident to his Crown to shut and open the Ports when it pleased him as appeareth by many Records especially by the Parliament Rolls in the time of King Edw. 3. wherein are found many Petitions that the Sea might be open which during that Kings time was often shut by virtue of his Prerogative only and never fully opened again but when the King layd an Imposition upon Merchandizes And this Prerogative of Custody of the Ports and of shutting and opening the same is reserved unto the Crown upon an excellent reason For Trade and Comerce is not fit to be holden with all persons neither are all things fit to be imported or exported For such persons as are enemies to the Crown come to discover Arcana Regni such persons as come to corrupt Religion or the manners of the people such persons as under colour of Merchandizes come to set up Monopolies or a dry Exchange to drain or draw away our commodities or money out of the Kingdom are not fit to enter in at the Gates of the Kingdome And again such commodities as the kingdom cannot spare as Corn in time of dearth and such as may advantage our Enemies and hurt us in time of Warre as Horses Armor Gunpowder c. are not fit to be exported out of the Realm And Poysons Heretical books and other things which are apparently hurtfull to the people are not to be imported and therefore the Prerogative of opening and shutting the Ports is accompanied with another absolute power of stoping and imbarring of Trade Comerce sometimes generally sometimes between us and particular Nations and sometimes for particular Merchandizes only whereof there are many presidents and examples both in Records and Histories of our Nation 2 Edw. 1. Rot. Parliament m. 18. in Archivis Turris 2 Edw. 3. Rot. fin m. 17. ibid. 10 Edw. 3. Chaunc m. 3. in dorso ibid. 17 Hen. 6. Sccio Angliae Matthew Paris Hist. magna p. 568. 10 Hen. 7. Stow. And this Prerogative of imbarring Trade doth result out of the undoubted Prerogative which the King hath to make Peace and War with Forein Nations for open War is no sooner denounced but all Trade of Merchandize is stopt and imbarred between the Nations which are ingaged in the Warre durante bello inter Reges Christianos merces quascunque exportare vetamur ne Regni arcana scrutentur saith a Doctor of the Imperiall Law whereupon wee make this Argument That since the King hath absolute power of shut the Ports and stop Trade it standeth with as good reason that he shold have the like power to lay reasonable Impositions upon Merchandizes for opening of the Ports and for giving of freedome of Trade again he that may doe the more may doe the lesse Non debet ei cui id quod majus est id quod minus est non licere saith the Rule of the Law hee that may prohibit Merchants not to Trade or passe may dispence with that prohibition and give them leave to go and Traffique sub modo Again the King of England is Dominus Maris which floweth about the Island as divers ancient Books and Records do testifie as Fitz Avowry 192. 6 Rich. 2. protection 46. Rot. Scotiae m. 16. in Arch. Turris And he is Lord of the Sea not only quoad protectionem jurisdictionem sed quoad proprietatem and this is our Neptunes trident for God gave unto man as well the Dominion of the Sea as of the Earth where it is said Gen. 1. replete terram subjicite eam dominamini piscibus maris c. and in Psal. 8. Omnia subjecit pedibus ejus Pisces maris quicquid perambulat semitas maris And therefore Baldus affirmeth de jure Gentium distincta esse dominia in mare sicut in terra arida and again mare attribuitur terrae Circunstanti Hence it is though there be but one Ocean in resepct wherof the whole Earth is quasi insula saith Strabo yet is there Mare Gallicum Sardicum Creticum AEgypticum oceanus Britanicus Germanicus c. which particular names do note a propriety in the Princes and States who are Lords of the Land adjoyning Hence it is that our Common Law doth give unto our King all the land which is gained from the Sea which Stampford in the Book of the Kings Prerogative doth affirm to belong to the King de jure Gentium quia Mare seu particula Maris est de Territorio illius Civitatis vel Regni cui magis appropinquat saith one learned Doctor Mare se extendit cum aquae sint mensurabiles saith another hence it is that all navigable Rivers as the River of Thames and the River of Lee and divers others are called in our Books the Kings Streams 19. Ass. p. 6. Dyer 117. a. because such Rivers are arms of the Sea so far as the Sea doth flow in them 22. Ass. p. 93. and lastly hence it is that by the Common Law the King may prohibit all Subjects whatsoever to passe over the Seas without his licence and to that end in 22 Edw. 4. the King commanded the Warden of the Cinque Ports and the Bailifs of all other Ports of the Kingdom that they should not suffer any Man Ship or Boat to passe beyond the Seas quousque Rex illud mandaverit and the like Commandments were given 4 Edw. 3. 21 Edw. 3. 16 Rich. 2. 17 Hen. 6. If therefore the King hath such an absolute Interest in the Ports and in the Sea and in all Navigable Rivers wherein the Kings Ports are situated for the main part why should he not have the like absolute power to limit and prescribe unto

and hath as many Prerogatives incident to his Crown whence then proceedeth it to what profitable cause may we ascribe it certainly to divers causes profitable and principally to these causes following First our King of England hath alwayes gone before and beyond all other Kings in Christendome in many points of Magnificency and especially in this That they have alwayes had a more Rich and Royall Demean belonging to the Crown I mean more large and Royall Patrimony in Lands and Rents than ever any Christian King had before or now hath at this day for it is certain that the Revenues of other Princes and States do principally consist in such Gabells Impositions and Exactions as are before remembred and not in terra firma not in such a Reall and Royall Patrimony as hath ever belonged to the Crown of England and therefore other Kings being lesse able to maintain their Estates or more covetous in their own Nature have laid heavier Burthens upon their Subjects than ever the King of England hath layd or will do or hereafter hath need to do God be blessed for it the Kings of England have had the Princes Portion spoken of before in 45 of Ezekiel and therefore they had no need so to oppresse the people Again we may ascribe this difference to the bounty and noble nature of our Kings that they would never descend to those poor and sordid Exactions which other Princes States do take of their Subjects Sordidum putandum est aurum quod ex lachrimis oritur as a good Counseller told Vespasian Again we may ascribe it to the wisdom and policy of our Kings who would never follow the Counsell of Rehoboams younger Counsellers boni pastoris est oves tondere non diglubere as Tiberius the Emperor was wont to say Odi hortulanum saith Alexander qui ab radice olera excindit qui nimis emergit elicit sanguinem saith Solomon they well considered that the money levied by Taxes and Impositions is the blood of the people which is not to bee let out in any great quantity but to save the life as it were of the Common-wealth when she is sick indebted and in great danger Again it may be ascribed to their Piety and Religion which moved them to follow the counsell of the Divine Rule Deut. 17 where the King is warned not to multiply upon him much Gold and Silver for that indeed there doth seldome come good by great Treasure heapt up by a great Prince for it doth but nourish Pride and Ambition in him and stir him up many times to make an unjust Warre upon his Neighbours or if he leave it unto his Successers it makes them luxurious and vitious which draweth with it sometimes the ruin of the kingdome sed optimus certissimus thesaurus Principis est in loculis subditorum saith the learned Buterus in his Book against Machiavill let the King saith he have a care to maintain Religion and Justice and Peace in his Kingdom this will soon bring plenty with a continuall increase and make a rich and wealthy people then shall the King never want money to serve his just and necessary and honourable occasions for it is impossible the Soveraign should be poor when the Subjects are rich and untill occasions do arise the Coffers of his Subjects will be his best Exchequer they will be his Treasurers they will be his Receivers his Tellers without fees or wages no bad Accomptant shall deceive him nor no Bankrupt Officer shall deceive him they will keep the Treasure of the Kingdom so frugally as no Importunate Courtier shall be able to withdraw the same from a Prince but that it shall still remain in store to supply the necessities of the Common wealth Lastly our Kings of England in their wisdoms well understood the natures and dispositions of their people and knowing them to be a free generous and noble Nation held them not fit to be beaten with Rehoboams Rod esteemed them too good to be whipt with Scorpions and therefore God be blessed we have not in England the Gabeller standing at every Towns end we have not a Publican in every Market we pay not a Gabell for every Bunch of Reddish or Branch of Rosemary sold in Cheap-side we have none of those Harpies which do swarm in other Countries we have no complaining in the streets as is said in the 144. Psalm and therefore I may well conclude with the conclusion of that Psalm Happy are the people that are in such a case blessed is the people that have the Lord for their God above in Heaven and King Iames for their King here upon Earth FINIS These Books following are printed for Henry Twyford and Partners and are to be sold at his Shop in Vine-Court Middle Temple THe Compleat Attorney or the Practick par● of the Law A Learned Treatise of Wards and Liveries by Sir Iames Ley Knight The Life of the Apostle St. Paul Soliloquies Meditations and Prayers of St. Bonaventure The discontented Collonel by Sir Iohn Sucklin The European Mercury The humble Remonstrance of Sir Iohn Stawell Hebdomada Magna or the great Week of Christ's Passion Sir Robert Brooks Reading on the Statute of Limitations Kitchens Jurisdictions of Courts Leet Courts Baron c.
