A56206	A short demurrer to the Jewes long discontinued barred remitter into England Comprising an exact chronological relation of their first admission into, their ill deportment, misdemeanors, condition, sufferings, oppressions, slaughters, plunders, by popular insurrections, and regal exactions in; and their total, final banishment by judgment and edict of Parliament, out of England, never to return again: collected out of the best historians and records. With a brief collection of such English laws, Scriptures, reasons as seem strongly to plead, and conclude against their readmission into England, especially at this season, and against the general calling of the Jewish nation. With an answer to the chief allegations for their introduction. / By William Prynne Esq; a bencher of Lincolnes-Inne.; Short demurrer to the Jewes long discontinued remitter into England. Part 1.

Act appeareth by former records as take one for many From the 17 of December in the 50 year of H. 3. until the Tuesday in Shroveride the 2 year of Edward the first wh●ch was about 7 years the Crown had four hundred and twenty thousand pounds fifteen shillings and four pence De exitibus judai●mi at which time the ounce of silver was 20 d. and now it is more than treble so much So as the recital of the Preamble is true That he and his Ancestors had received great profit from Iudaism Many provisions were made both by this King and others Some time they were banished but their cruel usury continued and soon after they returned and for respect of lucre and gain King John in the second year of his reign granted unto them la●ge Privileges whereby the mischiefs rehearsed in this Act multiplyed But the lucre and gain which King John had and expected of the Infidel Iews made him impie judaisare for to the end they should exercise the Laws of their Sacrifices which they could not do without a Priesthood the King by his Charter granted them to have one c. Which for the great rarity thereof and for that we find it not either in our Books or Histories I will rehearse In haec verba Rex omnibus fidelibus suis omnibus Judaeis Anglis salutem Sciatis nos concessisse Jacobo Judaeo de Londoniis Presbytero Judaeorum Presbyteratum omnium Judaeorum totius Angliae Habendum tenendum quamdin vixerit liberè quietè honorificè integrè it a quod nemo ei super hoc molestiam aliquam aut gravamen inferre presumat Quare volumus firmiter praecipimus quod eidem Jacobo quoad vixerit Presbyteratum Judaeorum per totam Angliam garantetis manu-teneatis pacificè defendatis Et si quis et super eo forisfacere praesumpserit id ei sine dilatione salva nobis emenda nostra de forisfactura nostra emendare faciatis tanquam Dominico Judaeo nostro quem specialiter in servicio nostro retinuimus Prohibemus etiam ne de aliquo ad se pertin●nte ponatur in placitum nisi coram nobis aut coram capi●ali Justiciario nostro sicut Charta Regis Richardi sratris nostri testatur Teste S. Bathonien Episcopo c. Dat. per manus Huberti Cantuarientis Archiepiscopi Cancellarii nostri apud Rothomagum 12 die Julii Anno Regni nostri primo To which Charter Sir Edward Cook annexeth this marginal Note Th●s King had a most troublesom and dishonourable reign God raising against him for his just punishment two potent Enemies Pope Innocent the 3. and Philip K●ng of France And besides which was the worst he lost the heart and love of his Baronage and Subjects and at the last had a fea●full end He adds Our Noble King Edward 1. and his Father H. 3. before sought by d●vers Acts and Ordinances to use some means and moderation herein but in the end it was found That there was no mean in m●schief and as Seneca saith Res profecto Stulta est nequitiae modus And will it not be so now in their new limited re-admission if consented too And therefore King Ed. 1. as this Act saith for the honour of God and for the common profit of his people without all respect in respect of these of the filling of his own Coffers did ordain That no Jew from thenceforth should make any bargain or contract for usury nor upon any former contract should take any usury from the Feast of St. Edward then last past So in effect all Iewish Vsury was forbidden This Law struck at the root of this pestilential weed for hereby usury it self was forbidden and thereupon the cruel Iews thirsting after rich gain to the number of 15060 departed out of this Realm into forraign parts where they might use their Jewish trade of usury and from that time that Nation never returned again into this Realm Some are of opinion and so it is said in some of our Histor●es That it was enacted by authority of Parliament that the usurious Iews should be banished out of the Realm ●●t the truth is that their usury was banished by t●●s Act of Pa●liament and that was the cause that they banished themselves i●to other Countries where they might l●ve by their usury So that by his opinion they were not then banished by the King or Parliament but only voluntarily banished themselves upon the making of this Statute against their Usury But under the favour of this deceased reverend Judge whose memory and judgement in Law I generally reverence this opinion of his is a meer mistake For 1. This Statute de Iudaismo was not made in the Parliament of 18 E. 1. as he confidently affirmeth without any ground or Authority at all but in the 3d year of his reign as I have formerly proved being full 15 years before the Jews banishment out of England the term the Statute de Iuda●smo allowed them to take Lands and Houses to farm but no longer If then they resided here full 15. years after the banishment of their Usury by this Statute it is most certaine it was not the ground of all their voluntary banishments in 18 E. 1. as he strangely fancieth but some particular Act for their general expulsion then made upon the Commons importunity else they would have voluntarily exiled themselves 15 years before upon the first publication of this Statute against their Usury in all probability rather than so long after its banishment of it in 3 2. This Stat. hath not one syllable of their banishment in it but expresly authorizeth them to take houses and lands to farm and continue here 15 years space but no longer Now had it been made in 18 E. 1. as Sir Edw. Cooke affirms the King and Parliament had been so far from banishing them that year as the premised Histories and Records he cites do joyntly attest they did that they had thereby authorized them to continue here 15 years longer even till 33 E. 1. Yea the Commons had been much overseen to give the K●ng a fifteen in the Parliament of 18 E. 1. for the present banishment of all the Iews out of England had they passed the Statute de Iudaismo at that very time which allows them 15 years space longer to take Houses and Lands to farm to extend the mo●ty of the Lands and Goods of their Creditors to be resident in the Kings Cities and Burroughs where their chests for Indentures were to grant them the Kings Peace and Protection both for their persons and estates and exempt them from suits in all Courts but the Kings and from all Taxes with other Subjects And that clause of this Statute prescribing them to wear a badge on their uttermost Garments after they were 7. years of age and to pay 3 d. the poll yearly to the King after they were 12 years old had been meerly ridiculous if

R. apud Langeleye 28 die Julii After the date is the Letters for the Jews safe conduct out of Enlgand to the Sheriffs It is very observable that these three last Patents were made but a very little before and the last of them clearly after the Jews universal banishment voted resolved both by the King and Parliament For when as the King his Justices and Parliament by all their Inquisitions Commissions Care Providence and Execution of so many Jews in all parts could no ways suppresse their ●lipping and falsifying of the Money of the Realme nor yet reforme the manifold other wickednesses and misdemeanors of the English Jewes nor all the industry and pains of the Friers Preachers nor all that liberal provisions and grants of the King forecit●d to the House of Converts for their comfortable ●●p●ort maintenance and confirmation in the Christian faith so far operate upon their obstinate obdurate hearts as to convert any considerable number or any persons of note amongst them to the Christian faith from which many Converts apostatized nor yet suppresse their continual blasphemies against our crucified Saviour the Christian faith Sacraments of the Church and blessed Virgin Thereupon the King at the earnest frequent solicitation of the Commons assembled this year in Parliament after the Feast of St. Hilary enacte published an Edict or Decree in Parliament for the total universal and final banishment of all these wicked blasphemous unbeleeving Jews out of England then generally execrable detestable to all the people who were so desirous to be for ever quit of their company that they granted the King the 15 part of all their goods and moveables for their banishment and expulsion out of England as I have formerly proved at large by a full grand Jury of Historians and several Records in my former Demurrer against Sir Edward Cooks grosse assertion that they only voluntarily banished themselves because their usury was this year suppres●ed by the Stat. de Iudaismo which I have proved was made full 15 years before to be no cause at all of their exile now In pursuance of this Parliamentary Edict Decree now no where extant on Record all the Parliament Rolls before 5 Ed. 2. being who●ly lost and many since by the carelessenesse or iniquity of the times except only an old Parchment Book of some Pleas in Parliam in E. 1. one Statute Roll of K.

Ed. 2. and Ed. 3. wherein the Statute De Iudaismo with many other printed Acts are not to be found no more than this Edict for the Jews banishment though mentioned in many Histories and Records the King in this very mon●th of Iuly sent several Writs Letters and Patents to the Sheriffs of Counties Mayors of Towns Bayliffs and Barons of the Cinqueports and likwise to Mariners reciting that he had prescrib'd a certain time term day to all and every of the Iews within the Realm for their departure out of it into forraign parts commanding them not to doe nor suffer any
