Your Majesties commons in this session of Parliament assembled doe cheerefully acknowledge the spring and fountaine of the publique justice of this state to be originally in your Ma from the benefite therof is conveyed and derived into every member of this politique body by your Highnes writs Amongst which none are more honourable for the support of the common justice of the realm then the writes of prohibition habe as corpus de homine replegiaÌ„do writs have been ever held and found to be a chief meanes of reliefe vnto the poore distressed and oppressed subjects of this kingdome and can be no inconvenience at all Seing they are no way conclusive against any man and doo draw no benefit to the procurers but rather a fruitless charge if they be obteined vpon any vnjust ground or pretence In the free granting of proceccing vpon some of which writes especially that of prohibition there hath of late been observed to be some obstruction by reason that vpon the complaintes and the importunity of some who desire the support of inferiour courts against the principall courts of the common law wherewith your Majesty hath been greatly troubled you have taken into your royall consideration the severall extents of the jurisdiction of the sayd severall courts Since which time the said writes have been more sparingly graunced and with stricter cautioÌ„s then anciently hath been accustomed It is therefore most humbly desired that it may please your Majestie whose glory is never more coÌ„spicuous then when the poorest of the commonalty are blessed with the influence of the ancient beames of justice to require your judges in the courts of Westminster to grant the said writes in cases wherein such writes doe lye and by law are grantable And in such sort as that such persons whose bodies being eyther coÌ„mitted to prison or their causes like to receive great prejudice by procedings against them in times of vacation may not be debarred nor deferred from hauing the speedy reliefe benefite of those writes more then in former times For asmuch as the exercise of authoritie over the counties of Glocester Hereford Wigorne and Salope by the president councell of Wales by way of instructions vpon pretext of a statute made in the 34. yeare of the reigne of King Henry the 8. is conceived not to be warranted by that or any other lawe of this Realme of England And for that in the 2. session of this present parliament there did a bill pass the house of the Commons wherebâ— it was declared that the true intent and meaning of that before mentioned statute was not thereby to subject these countries to that kind of government by instructions And yet notwithstanding the inhabitaÌ„ts of those Counties are since vtterly discouraged and in effect debarred from triall of the right of that kind of jurisdiction over those countries by the ordinarie course of the coÌ„mon lawes of this land by reason of Prohibitions which were heretofore frequently granted vpon suggestion that those countries are not part of Wales or of the marches of the same which is the very point in question are now become very hard to be obteyned except in cases where those of that councell doe exceed the instructions set downe to them by your Majestie As also for that in cases where actions have been brought at the common law whereby that question might haue come to dicision the plaintifes haue been stopped sometimes by injunctions out of your Majesties court of Chancery from their proceedings sometime before sometime after judgemeÌ„ts and some time also by imprisonment The precedent of which proceedings doth concern all your Majesties loyall and dutifull subjects of this kingdome aswell in respect of the stopping of the free course of Iustice as also by reason that if that kinde of jurisdiction were at first extended over those 4. counties and be now still continued without warrant of law then consequence of this example may in future times give countenance to the erecting of like jurisdictions in other places of this Realme And for asmuch as your Majestie was pleased to commaund all the Iudges to consider of this question and that they thereupon bestowed very many dayes in hearing the cause argued by learned counsaile on both sides And in viewing and considering of great numbers of recordes produced before them concerning that cause whereby they have no doubt throughly informed themselves of the right It is therefore the most humble petition of the commons in this present Parliament assembled that your most excellent Majestie will also be pleased to commaund that the Iudges may deliver their opinion upon that so exact and deliberate hearing which was had before them concerning the right of the foresayd jurisdiction over those 4. Counties by force of that statute And that the opinion which they shall deliver therein may be in such sort published as that all your Majesties subjects whome it may concerne may have meanes to take knowledge thereof And that your Ma will vouchsafe to declare it by your most princely pleasure that any of your Maiesties subiects who may have occasion thereof may trye his or their right in that point by due and ordinarie course of the common lawe eyther by suing out of prohibitions or any other your Maiesties writs without restraint And that if the sayd iurisdiction over those 4. Counties shall appeare to your Maiestie by the opinion of the Iudges or otherwise not to be warranted by law that then your Maiesty be pleased out of your most princely and gracious favour towards all

instruction are by this meanes punished and through ignorance lye open to the seducements of popish and ill affected persons Wee therefore most humbly beseech your Majesty would be gratiously pleased that such depriued and silenced ministers may by licence or permissioÌ„ of the reverend fathers in their severall diocesses instruct and preach vnto their people in such parishes and places where they may be imployed so as they apply themselves in their Ministery to wholsome doctrine and exhortation and live quietly and peaceably in their callings and shall not by writing or preaching impugne thinges established by publick authority 3. Whereas likewise through pluralitie of benifices toleration of non recidencie in many who possess not the meanest livinges with cure of soules the people in diverse places want instruction and are ignorant easy to be seduced whereby the adversaries of out religioÌ„ gaine great advantage and although the pluralists and non-residents doe frame excuse of the smalnesse of some livinges and pretende the maintenance of learning yet we finde by experience that they coupling many of the greatest livings doe leave the least helpless the best as ill served supplied with preachers as the meanest And where pluralists heaping vp many livings into one hand doe by that meanes keep divers learned men froÌ„ maintenance to the discouragement of Students the hinderance of learning the non-residents for seeking or absenting themselves froÌ„ their pastorall charges doe leave the people as a prey vnto the popish Seducers It might therefore please your most excellent Majestie for remedy of these evils in the Church to provide that dispensatioÌ„s for plurality of benefices with cure of souls may be prohibited that toleration of non-residencie may be restrayned So shall true religion be better vpheld and the people more instructed in divine and civill duties 4. And for asmuch as excommunication is the heaviest censure for the most grievous offences which the Church doth reteine yet exercised and inflicted vpon an incredible number of the common people by the subordinate officers of the jurisdiction ecclesiasticall most coÌ„monly for very small causes grounded vpon the sole information of a base apparitour in which case the parties before they can be discharged are driven to excessive expence for matters of very small moment so that the richer break thorough more heynous offences and escape that censure by commutation of penance to the great scandall of the Church government in the abuse of so high a censure the contempt of the censure it selfe and grievance of your Majesties poore subjects Wherefore your Majesties dutifull commons most humbly beseech your highnes that some due and fit reformation may be had in the premisses Grievances To the Kinges most excellent Maiestie Most gracious Soveraigne your Majesties most humble commons assembled in Parliament being moved aswel out of their dutie and zeale to your Majestie as out of the sense of iust griefe wherewith your loving subiects are generally through the whole Realme at this tyme possessed because they perceive their coÌ„mon ancient right libertie to be much declined infringed in these late yeares Doe with all dutie humilitie present these our iust complaints thereof to your gracious viewe most instantly craving iustice therein and due redresse And although it be true that many of the particulars whereof we now complaine were in some use in the late Queenes time then not much impugned because the usage of them being then more moderate gave not so great occasion of offence and consequently not so much cause to inquire into the right and validitie of them Yet the right being now more throughly scanned by reason of the great mischiefs and inconvenienâ—es which the subiects have thereby sustained wee are very confident that your Maiestie wil be so farre from thinking it a point of honour or greatnes to continue any grievance vpon your people because you found them begun in some of your Predecessors times as you will rather hold it a work of great glorie to reforme them since your Maiestie knoweth well that neyther continuance of time nor errours of men can or ought to preiudice truth of iustice and that nothing can be more worthy of so worthy a King nor more answerable to the great wisdome and goodnes which abound in you then to understand the griefes redresse the wrongs of so loyall and well deserving a people In this confidence dread soveraigne we offer these grievances the particulars whereof are hereunder set downe to your gracious consideration and we offer them out of the greatest loyaltie and duetie that subjects can beare to their Prince Most humbly and instantly beseeching your Majestie aswell for justice sake more then which as we conceiue in these Petitions we doe not seek as also for the better assurance of the state and generall repose of your faithfull loving subjects and for testimonie of your gracious acceptation of their full affections declared aswell by their joyfull receiuing of your Majesty at your happy entrance into this kingdom which you have been often pleased with favour to remember as also by their extraordinarie contributions graunted since vnto you such as haue been never yeelded to any former Prince upon the like termes and occasions that we may receive to these our coÌ„plaints your most gracious answer which we caÌ„not doubt but wil be such as may be worthy of your princely selfe and will give satisfactioÌ„ great coÌ„fort to all your loyall and most dutifull loving subjects who doe and will ever pray for the happy preservation of your most royall Majestie THe policie and constitution of this your kingdome appropriates unto the Kings of this Realme with the assent of the Parliament as well the soveraigne power of making lawes as that of taxing or imposing upon the subjects goods or merchandizes Wherein they haue justly such a proprietie as may not without their consent be altered or changed This is the cause that the people of this Kingdome as they ever shewed themselues faithfull and loving to their Kings and ready to ayde them in all their just occasions with voluntarie contributions so have they been ever carefull to preserve their owne liberties and rights when any thing hath been done to prejudice or impeach the same And therefore when their Princes occasioned eyther by their warres or their over great bountie or by any other necessitie haue without consent of Parliament set impositions eyther within the land or upon coÌ„modities eyther exported or imported by the Merchants they have in open Parliament complained of it in that it was done without their consents And thereupon never failed to obteyne a speedie and full redresse without any claime made by the Kinges of any power or prerogative in that point And though the lawe of proprietie be originall and carefully preserved by the coÌ„mon lawes of this Realme which are as ancient as the kingdome it selfe yet these famous Kings for the better contentment and assurance
