in_o king_n john_n be_v charter_n london_n and_o other_o city_n and_o burgh_n be_v to_o be_v assess_v and_o tax_v by_o the_o common-council_n of_o the_o kingdom_n 118._o and_o he_o make_v a_o reason_n of_o that_o provision_n to_o be_v the_o usage_n in_o the_o time_n of_o h._n 2._o for_o the_o king_n to_o talliate_v or_o tax_v they_o without_o such_o a_o council_n the_o doctor_n have_v doubtless_o the_o most_o particular_a convince_a way_n of_o reason_v of_o any_o man_n he_o say_v that_o law_n in_o king_n john_n be_v charter_n intend_v to_o restrain_v the_o king_n from_o levy_v of_o public_a tax_n without_o public_a consent_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o artice_n in_o king_n john_n be_v charter_n be_v argument_n sufficient_a to_o prove_v it_o for_o mark_v the_o weighty_a reason_n h._n the_o three_o after_o this_o be_v grant_v and_o edw._n one_a tax_v their_o demeasn_n through_o england_n though_o not_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n by_o advice_n and_o consent_n of_o their_o privy-council_n only_o until_o the_o stat_n '_o de_fw-fr tallagio_n non_fw-la concedendo_fw-la that_o be_v as_o tallage_n be_v confess_v to_o be_v a_o public_a tax_n because_o some_o of_o king_n john_n successor_n tax_v their_o demeasn_n without_o public_a consent_n therefore_o it_o be_v provide_v in_o king_n john_n time_n by_o way_n of_o prophecy_n that_o no_o public_a tax_n aid_n or_o escuage_z shall_v be_v raise_v without_o public_a consent_n so_o that_o what_o be_v do_v after_o be_v a_o moral_a cause_n or_o occasion_n of_o what_o precede_v it_o will_v be_v say_v that_o the_o thing_n that_o the_o doctor_n go_v to_o prove_v be_v that_o the_o common-council_n mention_v in_o the_o charter_n be_v the_o great_a and_o common-council_n of_o the_o kingdom_n to_o all_o intent_n and_o purpose_n not_o that_o the_o king_n be_v restrain_v from_o levy_v a_o public_a tax_n without_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o great_a council_n but_o sure_o when_o he_o go_v to_o give_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o charter_n must_v be_v take_v in_o such_o a_o sense_n we_o be_v to_o expect_v the_o proof_n of_o that_o not_o of_o something_o else_o quit_v the_o thing_n to_o be_v prove_v if_o i_o can_v understand_v his_o dark_a meaning_n he_o be_v prove_v that_o nullum_fw-la scutagium_fw-la etc._n etc._n intend_a to_o restrain_v the_o king_n from_o levy_v public_a tax_n without_o public_a consent_n that_o be_v to_o explain_v what_o he_o very_o obscure_o drive_v at_o the_o restraint_n be_v only_o from_o tax_v the_o whole_a kingdom_n not_o from_o tax_v his_o tenant_n in_o chief_a and_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o article_n 118._o viz._n as_o take_v in_o this_o sense_n be_v that_o several_a time_n after_o this_o charter_n be_v grant_v hen._n 3._o and_o edw._n 1._o tax_v their_o demeasn_n through_o england_n though_o not_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n by_o advice_n and_o consent_n of_o their_o privy-council_n only_o until_o the_o statute_n de_fw-fr tallagio_fw-la non_fw-la concedendo_fw-la be_v make_v 34_o e._n 1._o and_o both_o richard_n the_o first_o and_o king_n john_n have_v tax_v the_o whole_a kingdom_n without_o common_a assent_n before_o the_o grant_n of_o magna_fw-la charta_fw-la and_o when_o he_o have_v make_v good_a the_o premise_n in_o this_o argument_n for_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o article_n which_o will_v be_v ad_fw-la graecas_fw-la calendas_fw-la then_o he_o may_v conclude_v that_o this_o article_n intend_v to_o restrain_v the_o king_n only_o only_o from_o levy_v of_o public_a tax_n without_o public_a consent_n not_o to_o provide_v about_o escuage_z etc._n or_o tallage_n which_o none_o but_o his_o immediate_a tenant_n be_v liable_a to_o and_o from_o hence_o when_o prove_v we_o may_v with_o some_o more_o colour_n and_o coherence_n raise_v the_o consequence_n that_o the_o common-council_n mention_v in_o king_n john_n charter_n be_v the_o great_a and_o common-council_n of_o the_o kingdom_n to_o all_o intent_n and_o purpose_n but_o how_o that_o shall_v appear_v from_o the_o mention_n of_o aid_n and_o escuage_z only_o will_v be_v a_o question_n it_o be_v by_o he_o observe_v of_o richard_n the_o first_o accepit_fw-la de_fw-la unaquâque_fw-la carucatâ_fw-la terrae_fw-la totius_fw-la angliae_fw-la sex_n solidos_fw-la but_o what_o proof_n be_v there_o from_o the_o word_n accepit_fw-la or_o the_o collect_v of_o a_o tax_n ex_fw-la praecepto_fw-la regis_fw-la that_o he_o take_v it_o without_o public_a consent_n 16._o i_o be_o sure_a bracton_n as_o good_a a_o author_n as_o the_o historian_n who_o he_o vouch_v tell_v we_o carvage_a and_o such_o this_o be_v can_v never_o be_v raise_v but_o consensu_fw-la communi_fw-la totius_fw-la regni_fw-la but_o if_o the_o king_n in_o his_o privy-council_n may_v tax_n the_o kingdom_n its_o self_n till_o the_o make_n king_n john_n charter_n and_o be_v restrain_v then_o i_o wonder_v our_o reverend_a author_n have_v make_v the_o constitution_n of_o the_o
