Acts Judgments Proceedings as you may discern by this Abridgement But more clearly by the Rolls at large made up and engrossed by the Clerk of the Parliament with the assistance or supervising of the Lords Iudges and Commons too when there was occasion 4ly I shall recommend unto you these generall Observations touching our Parliaments and their proceedings in former ages which I shall desire the Readers more carefully to observe in their perusal of this Abridgement for their better satisfaction 1. That it was the Common Custom in former ages the first day of every Parliament by special Proclamation to inhibit the wearing of any Arms or weapons under severe penalties within such Cities and places where the Parliament sate to prevent all disturbances quarrels intimidations over-awings of the Members by Fear or Force A practice now fit to be revived after so many late armed Guards Forces not only over-awing disturbing enforcing but dissolving Parliaments and secluding securing their Members at their pleasure 2. That our Parliaments were alwayes usually adjourned and put off till some further day when any considerable Number of the Lords or Commons were absent or not come appearing at the first day of Summons and the Declaration of the Causes of summoning the Parliament adjourned till all the Members were come and the Parliaments full 3. That the Lords some times and the Commons were all frequently called by Name the first day of the Parliaments sitting and all of them admitted yea commanded to sit in and attend the Parliament and such as were absent without just cause both blamed and fined 4. That in all former ages no Acts were made Judgements pronounc'd Ayds or Subsidies granted nor ought else debated or conlcuded but only in full Parliament when all or most of the Members were personally present and none forcibly secluded or suspended but only by senâ—ence of the Houses themselves See the Table Full Parliament 5. That No Members of Parliament could be arrested imprisoned or taken in execution for Debt or any other occasion sitting the Parliament but only for Treason Felony or Breach of the Peace and if any were arrested or taken in execution against their privileges they were upon complaint released to attend the publike service of their Country in Parliament 6. That our Kings themselves did usually by their Chancellors or Chief Justices when they declared the Causes of summoning every Parliament to the 3. Estates most commonly grant and declare of their own accords That all Estates should enjoy their Privileges belonging to them as Members and likewise That the Church with all Corporations and other persons whatsoever should enjoy their antient Liberties Rights Customs and Franchises which was one chief end of summoning Parliaments and the Great Charter of their Liberties of the Forest and all other good Laws and Statutes due observation and to have the violations of them redressed punished 7. That Matters of Warr Peace Leagues Defence against Enemies both by Land and Sea were constantly propounded to debated consulted concluded of in and by our Parliaments yea one chief cause of their Convention and not ordered
by our Kings and Privy Council without the Parliaments consent 8. That No Subsidies Aydes Tonnage Poundage Impositions or new Customs whatsoever lawfully might or could be granted imposed or levied on the Subjects but only in and by their Free Grants and Consents in Parliament upon urgent necessities on such conditions cautions limitations and for such ends uses purposes in such moderate proportions as our Parliaments thought fit to limit and prescribe And that all Customs Impositions New Taxes Extortions not thus granted imposed by Parliament were constantly complained of punished redressed by the next ensuing Parliaments 9. That our Kings usually returned the Lords and Commons special thanks for their Aids Subsidies though in Cases of publick Defence for their own and the Kingdoms safety and likewise gratified them with the Grants of general Pardons the answer of all their just Petitions Relief of their common Grievances Confirmations of their Liberties and enacting of wholesom New necessary Laws 10. That the first thing the Lords and Commons usually Petitioned for and our Kings Parliaments enacted in every Session was the Confirmation of the Great Charter the Charter of the Forest with other good Laws and publike Liberties and for redress of all Grievances Imprisonments and restraints repugnant thereunto which they still obtained 12. That our Parliaments in former ages have been very carefull to resume all the lands and revenues aliened from the Crown and to reunite them thereunto for the better support of our Kings defraying the publike expences of the Kingdom and the easing of the Subjects from Subsidies and Taxes as 1 R. 2. nâ— 48. 1 H. 4. n. 100. 6 H. 4. n. 14 15. 8 H. 4. n. 29. 52.1 H. 5. c. 9. 28 H. 6. n. 54. 29 H. 6. n. 17. 31 H. 6. c. 7. 35 H. 6. n. 47. 4 E. 4. n. 39 40. 7 E. 4. n. 8. 8 E. 4. n. 26. 13 E. 4. n. 6. and other Records here evidence Neither is this a practice peculiar unto England both in these Parliaments and in former ages but Universal through the world All Monarchs and States having held it for a general and universal Law That the publike Revenues should be holy sacred and inalienable either by Contract or prescription to the end that Princes should not be forced to overcharge their Subjects with Imposts or to seek any unlawfull means to forfeit their goods to supply their necessities most Kings and Princes being for this reason specially sworn and taking an Oath when they come to the Crown in no wayes to sell or make away the Revenues or Lands of the Crown and more particularly the Kings of France England Spain Poland Hungary The which is also observed in Popular and Aristocratical estates as in Venice the Cantons of the Swissers the Senate of Lucern even in later times and at this very day and in Athens and Rome it self in antient times where Themistocles and Cato the Censor caused all the publike Revenues to be seized on which through tract of time and sufferance of Magistrates had been sold unto or usurped by private men saying in their Orations That mortal men could never prescribe against the immortal God nor private men against the Common weal. Upon which grounds the Parliaments of France Poland and other Realms have frequently resumed the Crown Lands and Revenues soldâ— or given away to Princes of the blood Nobles and private persons such Sales and Gifts being meerly void in Law and destructive to the publike as you may read at large in Iohn Bodin his Common-wealth l. 6. cap. 2. Dr. Crakenthorps Defence of Constantine p. 169. to 172. The second Part of my Soveraign Power of Parliaments and Kingdoms p. 12. to 16. and the severall Authors there cited to this purpose All which particulars of late years discontinued and almost quite abandoned are now fit to be revived in all succeeding Parliaments 12. It is observable that our Parliaments now and then either out of hatred envy passion or compliance with some potent ambitious popular swaying Lords and Grandees have most unjustly illegally condemned executed banished fined sentenced oppressed sundry Innocent some well deserved persons without just cause trial or due conviction of any real Crimes whose Sentences thereupon have been justly questioned damned reversed in succeeding Parliaments not only out of Grace and Favour but Justice and common Equity of which you may finde sundry presidents in this Abridgement 13. That all such Parliaments and ambitious self-seekers in them who under a pretence of publike Reformation Liberty the peoples ease or welfare have by indirect surmises policies practices force and new devices most usurped upon the Lawfull Prerogatives of their Kings or the Persons Lives Offices Estates of such Nobles Great Officers and other persons of a contrary party whom they most dreaded maligned and which have imposed New Oaths or Engagements on the Members to secure perpetuate and make irrevocable their own Acts Iudgments and unrighteous proceedings have alwayes proved most abortive successeless pernicious to themselves and the activest Instruments in them the Parliaments themselves being commonly totally repealed nulled and the Grandees in them suppressed impeached condemned destroyed as Traytors and Enemies to the publike in the very next succeeding Parliaments or not long after witness the Parliaments of 15 E. 3.11 21 R. 2.38 39 H. 6. 1 H. 4. 1 E. 4. 1 R. 3. and some others here abridged 15 E. 3.

That Kings created and set up meerly by Parliaments and their own power in them without any true hereditary Title have seldom answered the Lords and Comons expectations in the preservation of their just Laws Liberties and answers to their Petitions yea themselves at last branded for Tyrants Traytors Murderers Usurpers their posterities impeached of High Treason and Disinherited of the Crown by succeeding Parliaments and King as you may here read at large in the Parliaments of King Henry 4. 1 H. 5. m. 8. 39 H. 6. 1 3 E. 4. 1 Rich. the 3d. and 1 H. 7. c. 6. From these 3. last Observations we may discern that as Parliaments are the best of all Courts Councils when duly summoned convened constituted ordered and kept within their legal Boundsâ— so they become the greatest Mischiefs Grievances to the Kingdom when like the Ocean they overflow their banks or degenerate and become through Sedition Faction malice fear or infatuation by divine Justice promoters of corrupt sinister ends or accomplishers of the private designs ambitious Interests of particular Persons under the disguise of publike Reformamation Liberty Safety Settlement according to that of Isay 19.13 14 15. The counsel of the wise Counsellors of Pharaoh is become brutish The Princes of Zoan are become fools the Princes of Noph are deceived they
have also seduced Egypt even they that are the stay of the Tribes thereof The Lord hath mingled a spirit of Perversenesse in the midst thereof and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof as a drunken man staggereth in his vomit Neither shall there be any work for Egypt which the head or tail branch or rush may doe So as we may justly conclude with that of Psal. 118 8 9. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in Princes yea or Parliaments Wherefore Put not your trust in Princes in Parliaments nor in any son of man in whom there is no help yea Cease ye from man whose breath is in his nostrils for wherein is he to be accounted of For although usually in a way of ordinary providence In the multitude of Counsellers there is safety yet God many times in justice Leadeth the greatest Counsellers yea Parliaments themselves away spoyled and maketh the Iudges fools so that though they associate themselves together they shall be broken in pieces and though they take Counsel together yet it shall come to naught when God is not with but against them whereof we have seen many late sad domestick experiments to wean us from Deifying Idolizing of or over-much confiding in or depending upon Parliaments which have been so subject to Errors Deviations Abortions in former and later times Touching the Original of electing and sending Knights Citizens and Burgesses to our Parliaments it is very obscure and dubious Sir Robert Cotton the Author of this Abridgment In his brief Discourse concerning the Power of the Peers in Parliament in point of Iudicature affirms and proves That the Generale Placitum Universalis Synodus Magnum Commune Concilium of the Realm now stiled a Parliament was held Ceram Episcopis Magnatibus suis Or Coram Episcopis Principibus Regni in praesentia Regis This Great Court or Council consisting of the King and Barons ruled all affairs of State and controlled all Inferiour Courts Causes being referred and transferred out of the County and other Courts unto it propter aliquam dubitationâ—m quae emergit cum Comitatus nescit dijudicare as Glanvil in King Henry the seconds reign informs us and Bracton Britton with sundry Statutes and Records of later date with the antient presidents of Ethelwold Bishop of Wilton his sute against Leoftine and Q Edgin against Goda in the time of King Ethelredâ— the sute between the Bishop of Winton Durham in the time of St. Edward and one in the 10. year of the Conqueror evidence The power of the Peers in this Courtt and of certain Officers as the Steward Constable and Marshal fixed upon Families in fee for many ages was so transcendent that it seemed to be set to bound in the execution of Princes wills and grew fearfull to Monarchy Hereupon King Henry 3. when the daring Earl of Leicester was slain at the battel of Evesham by the dear experience himself had made at the Parliament at Oxford in the 40. year of his reign and the memory of the many streights his Father was driven unto especially at Runny-mead near Stanes wisely began to lessen the strength and power of his great Council weakning that hand of power which they carried in the Parliaments by commanding the service of many Knights Citizens and Burgesses to that Council NOW BEGAN saith he THE FREQUENT SENDING OF WRITS TO THE COMMONS THEIR ASSENTS not only used in Money Charge and making Laws For before ALL ORDINANCES PASSED BY THE KING PEERS but THEIR CONSENTS IN JUDGMENTS OF ALL NATURES WHETHER CIVIL OR CRIMINAL For proof whereof he produceth some succeeding presidents out of records When Adomar that proud Prelat of Winchester the Kings half Brother had grieved the State with his daring power he was exiled by the joynt consent of the King the Lords and Commons and this appeareth expresly by the Answer to the Letter sent by Pope Alexander the 4th expostulating a Revocation of him from Banishment because he was a Church-man and so not subject to Lay Censures In this the Answer is Si Dominus Rex et regni Majores hoc vellent COMMUNITAS TAMEN IPSIUS INGRESSUM IN ANGLIAM JAM NULLATENUS SUSTINERENT The Peers subjoyn this answer with their names and Petrus de Montford VICE TOTIUS COMMUNITATIS as SPEAKER or PROLOCUTOR OF THE COMMONS For by this stile Sir Io. Tiptoff Prolocutor affirmeth under his Arms the Deed of entail of the Crown by King Hen. 4. in the 8. year of his reign for ALL THE COMMONS By which passage and president it is apparent that in Sir Robert Cottons Judgement the Commons were not usually summoned to our Parliaments by writs till after 40 of King H. 3. and that purposely to curb and lessen the power of the Lords in Parliament This President he cites of Bishop Adomar out of the Leiger book of St. Albans falls in 44 H. 3. full 5 years before the Earl of Leicester was slain in which year Adomar died at Paris as he was posting from Rome into England to recover his Bishoprick Pope Alexander also dyed the same year 1260. in which I read there was a Parliament held but no mention of any Commons in it neither is there in our Records any Writ of Summons for electing Knights or Burgesses to repair to it in this year Onely I find there was a great difference then begun between King Henry and his Magnates Barones about the Ordinances made in the Parliament at Oxford which the King refused to observe contrary to his Oath from which he gained an absolution from the Pope I likewise read in William Rishanger his Continuation of Matthew Paris that this 44. year Magnates the Nobles not Commons sent quatuor Milites satis facundos qui Epistolam Sigillis suis firmatam Papae Cardinalibus exhiâ—erent containing many grievous accusations against this Bishop elect of Winton to hinder his promotion and return into England which Letter was sent from them sitting rather in a Military Councel at Oxford than in a true and real Parliament where Simon de Montsord Earl of Leicester Richard de Clare Earl of Gloucester MULTIQUE NOBILES IPSIS ADHAERENTES CONVENERUNT OXONIIS EQUIS ARMIS SUFFICIENTER INSTRUCTI finaliter statuentes in animo aut mori pro pace patriae aut pacis eliminare a patria turbatores as Rishanger relates Praeceperuntque omnibus qui eisdem servitium militare debuerant quatenus cum insis venirent parati veluti ad corpora sua contra hostiles insultus defensuâ—i Quod et fecerunt palliantes talem adventum eo quod in Walliam contra hostes Regis viderentur collectis viribus profâ—cturi as Matthew Paris himself records Neither was this Letter signed and sealed by Peter de Montsord as Speaker or
agreed with Edmund Earl of Kent for the delivery of King Edward the â—econd and therefore impeached should be acquitted and restored to all their lands and goods It is enacted by the King and his Council That all such persons whose lands were seised into the Kings hands by reason of the road made by the Earl of Lancaster to Bedford or by reason of the Attempt made by the Earl of Kent shall be restored thereunto with the mean profits saving that if they have any lands of the Kings gift the same be of the like condition as others who have lands of his gift The King pardoneth the Earl of Lancaster and all others who were in his company in the attempt aforesaid all Fines and Ransoms The Mayor of London complaineth for that the Citizens were threatned by such as were of the Earls company aforesaid and now pardoned Whereupon after pardoning of them the King willeth that no party do seek revenge upon pain of imprisonment Edmund the eldest son of â—dmund late Earl of Kent and Margaret Countess of Kenâ— by their several Petitions require That the Record made against the said Earl may for the Errors therein be revoked The cause of the same Earls death seemeth to have been for that the said Earl sought to delâ—vâ—r King Edward the Second his brother upon report to him made by Roger Mortimer Earl of March and others before condemned that the said King Edward was living whereas he was long before dead for which the said Earl by Parliament at Winchester was condemned and excuted The King restored the said Edmund the son to the blood and lands of the said Earl his father whereof he died seised in Fee with dower to the Countess saving to the King the keeping and wardship of the same during the nonâ—ge of the said son It is also enacted That no Peer of the Land nor other person which procured the death of the said Earl of Kent should be impeached therefore other then the said Earl of March and Sir Simon Bereford Iohn Mautravers Bayones and Iohn Bevervile Richard de Arundel the eldest son of the late Earl of Arundel prayeth that he may be restored to blood lands and goods considering that the said Edward was put to death being not tryed by his Peers according to the Law and great Charter But for that the said Attainder was confirmed by Parliament the said Richard amendeth his Petition and prayeth in such wise to be restored of the Kings meer grace He was accordingly restored together with the Castle of Arundel which was given to Edmund late Earl of Kent the said Richard yielding the usual rents and saving to the King all such lands as were given to the said Earl of Arundel by King Edward the Second For the great service done by William of Montacute against the Earl of March and his great Favourers the King giveth to the said William in general tail One thousand pounds yearly and for One thousand marks thereof the Castle Town and Manor of Denbigh and the Counties of Roes Rewniock Keirm with the Commerotte of Dinmall with the appurtenances in Wales late Roger Earl of March's and the Castle of the Shrewsbury with the Custom of Aile and appurtenances in Dorset The King for the like consideration granted to Sir Edward Bohun Four hundred marks yearly in general tail to Sir Robert Ufford Three hundred marks yearly in special tail and to Sir Iohn Nevil of Hornby Two hundred marks in special tail In a Plea of the Crown holden before the King in this Parliament Thomas of Berkley Knight was arraigned for the death of King Edward the Second for that the said King was committed to the keeping of the said Thomas and Iohn Mautravers at the Castle of the said Thomas at Berkley in Glouc. where he was murdered The said Thomas saith That at the time of the death of the said King he lay sick at Beudley without the said Castle and was not consenting thereunto he thereupon did put himself in trial of Twelve Knights there named who found the said Thomas not guilty or that he fled or withdrew himself thereupon but that he placed under him Thomas of Gornay and William of Ogle who murthered the said King Edward the Second Sir Eubal le Strange and Alice his wife late the wife of Thomas late Earl of Lancaster shew How upon the death of the said Earl all the hereditaments of the said Alice there named were seised into the Kings hands until the said Alice was inforced to release the same whereof some part of the same were granted to her during her life the remainder to Sir Hugh le Dispencer the younger Of all which they pray restitution The King giveth unto them in Fee heriditaments parcel of the same to the yearly value of Twelve hundred marks so as the said Eubal and Alice do release to the King all their right in the residue It is to be noted That the said Alice was the sole daughter and heir of Henry de Lassey late Earl of Lincoln Sed non patet in Recordo William la Zouch of Mortimer and Elinor his wife pray to be restored to their lands in Glamorgan and Morganow in Wales the Manor of Hawley in the County of Warwick and the Manor of Tewksbury in Glouc. being the inheritance of the said Elinor the which they by the extort means of the late Earl of March were inforced to pass the same to the King by Fine In consideration of Ten thousand pounds the King restoreth them to their former estate Iohn Clavering is restored to the profits of the Manor of Massingham and Aswel-Thorp in Norff. as in the right of the Heir of Robert Thorp who held the same of him by Knights service and other Lands in Fee-farm of the King of the Escheat of Normand and not of any Tenure in Capite And by this it is proved that the said Heir held the moyety of the Mannor of Comb of the King by Knights service by Escheat and not in chief by Rent of Eleven pounds three shillings four pence and Fifteen shillings yearly Escuage For avoiding of inconveniences which might ensue by the debate between Sir Iohn Sherlton and Sir Geoffry de la Pool the King enjoineth them to keep the Peace duly It is enacted That all Sheriffs shall be removed and other therein placed and that general Commissions be awarded to enquire of the oppressions of Sheriffs Escheators and Coroners The like charge is given to the Earl of Arundel and Sir Iohn Carleton as before in the 20. for that debate was between them because the same Iohn was at the apprehension of the said Earls Father It is enacted That no Justice shall defer or stay the execution of
and levying of Huâ— and Cry And it was by the King Bishops Lords and Commons enacted and agreed that a sentence of Excommunication should be published in every Church throughout the Realm 1. To excommunicate all Breakers of the Peace 2. To excommunicate all such as should defend receive or be privie thereunto 3. That all Obligations and such like instruments thereupon made be utterly void so far as lyeth in the Bishop and all others or by them dispenced By the fift and sixt titles before it may appear that at this time the Lords and Commons were of one House and that then there was no Speaker for the Commons Touching the Kings Voyage to the Holy Land it was thought too timely and therefore deferred for three years Touching the Treaty with the French and alliance by Marriage The King by Sir Ieffery le Scroop sheweth How the French King declareth to the Kings Ambassador that so as the King would come over in person he should finde great friendship Of whom requiâ—ing advice therein Answer was made That for those respectâ— they agreed thereunto deferring the Kings expedition into Ireland for one year so as aid might be sent in the mean time The Saturday next after the beginning of the Parliament the same was dissolved Touching the debate between Sir Iohn Grey of Rotherfield and Sir William de la Zouch which was heard before the King and his Councel in whose presence there fell great woâ—ds between them so as the said Iohn drew his knife upon him in the Kings presence for the which they were both commanded to prison and being after brought forth to their answers the said William was delivered and the said Iohn recommitted to prison during the Kings pleasure Anno Sexto Edwardi Tertii The Parliament holden at Westminster the morrow after the Nativity of our Lady in the Sixth year of King E. 3. THe Bishop of Winchester Chancellor of England declareth That the Parliament was called touching French affairs and the Kings expedition thither for repressing his Enemies At this day were proclaimed the Articles contained in the last Parliament 1.2.3 The Parliament was adjourned until Thursday following at what time considering the news from the North they doubted the Scots arrival Whereforeâ— the Bishops by themselves the Lords by themselves and the Knights by themselves advised the King to stay his journey into Ireland and to send thither a new supply of men and money to stay within the Realm and with an armed power to go towards the North there to lie ready for the Scot. Towards which Exploit They granted to the King one Disme and one Fifteen to be levied of the Laity so as the King will live of his own without grieving of his Subjects with outragious prizes or such like Whereupon The King revoked the new Commissions for reaâ—ing of Tallages and promiseth from henceforth to remise the same according to the old rate Anno Sexto Edwardi Tertii The Remembrances of the Parliament summoned at York the Friday next before the Feast of S. Michael in the Sixth year of Edward the Third Mense Decembris MEmorandum That the Parliament began before the King came to York On Friday the King was not come to York but remained not far from thence looking for the coming of such as were warned thereto Wherefore at this day the Parliament was adjourned till Monday after and from Monday until Tuesday then ensuing At which day Sir Ieffery le Scroop Knight by the Kâ—nâ—s commandment shewed the Kings approach thither which was uttered in the last Parliament And for that he understood that Edward Bayliol had proclaimed himself King of Scotland he required Councel of the whole Estate viz. Whether it were better for him to assail Scotland or to claim the Demesne of the same or else by making himself party to take the advantage and thereby to enjoy the services as other his Ancestors had But forasmuch as most of the States were absent the Assembly require the continuance of the Parliament until the Utas of S. Hilary then next ensuing at York which was granted and new Summons eâ—pecially awarded to evâ—ry pâ—rson with especial charge to attend so as the affâ—irs between the King and thâ— Realm might not be delayed for the debate betwixt the Archbishops of Canterbury and York for their supreme bearing of their Crosses To thâ—s Parliament came no other of the Clergy then the Archbishop of York the Bishops of Lincoln and Carlile and the Abbots of York and Selby The Archbishop of Canterbury came not nor any other of his Province and all for bearing of the Cross. Whereby the same was not only loss of the opportunity to Scotland but also an importable charge to the whole Estate by a new Reassembly The Reassembly of the Parliament adjourned unto York unto the Uta's of S. Hilary 6. Eâ— 3.

Whereupon the Commons had license to depart and the Lords commanded to attend unto the next day at which time the Parliament was dissolved Anno Octavo Edwardi Tertii Petitions and Acts moved at the Parliament holden at York the next before S.

IT was enacted That the great Charter of the Forrest and other Statutes should be observed and that such Statutes as be obscure by good advice shall be made plain That in every County be appointed one Justice of the Peace learned in the

Anno Decimo tertio Edwardi Tertii The Remembrances of the Parliament holden at Westminster in Quindena of S. Michael Ann. 13 Edw. 3. A Proclamation was made as in 6 E. 3. tit 4. The causes of the Parliament were declared to be three viz.

Edwardi Tertii FOR that sundry of the Lords were not at this day come the Parliament was continned untill Tuesday and from thence Wednesday at the which day Sir William de Thorpe the Lord Chief Justice in the presence of the King and Lords by the Kings commandment declared That the Parliament was called for Two Causes The first How according to the Truce taken at Callice the King had accordingly sent Messengers to the Pope and looked for return of Answer before the last Parliament which now was not come for that also as sundry points of the Truce touching the King and his Allies were not performed And further For that sundry of the French prepared a puissant Army to invade this Realm The second cause was For the preservation of the Peace wherefore the whole Estates were willed to consult in what wise it might be releived for the attaining of his attempt The Lords and Commons took great advice from day to day and in the end answered in effect following They first shew the great charges laid upon the Commons as the reasonable aid being pardoned in 14. E. 3. whereof every Fine was forty shillings the setting forth of men the taking of victuals not paid for for the keeping of the Seas The Subsidy of Wooll amounting to Threescore thousand pounds yearly and yet without Law the lending of twenty sacks of Wooll the restraint of passing over of Wooll Notwithstanding they Grant to the King three Fifteens in three years so as the Subsidy of Wooll might cease so as David le Bruce William Douglas and other Chieftains
in Scotland be not delivered for ransom or faith so as if the Wats do cease within three years that then their Grant might cease so as all other their Petitions ensuing be granted and these their conditions enrolled and exemplified Petitions of the Commons with their Answer That the falshoods of such as were appointed to gather the Two thousand sacks of Wooll lent to the King may be determined by some of the Parliament and that all Acquittances to any such made be repealed This was answered it the last Parliament and therefore commandment to execute the same That commandment be given to the Nobles in no wise to maintain a common Robber or Theif that two Knights in every Shire-town and two learned in the Law be appointed Justices to determine all offences and to enquire of false money they to have some Fee The same was answered in the last Parliament That all Petitions in this present Parliament may be presently answered After Easter the same shall be answered That all Wooll and other Merchandizes may freely pass without any Loans or other Subsides over the due Customs The passage shall be free saving to the King his due That no Eyres of the Forrests or other enquires other then of peace be kept during the Wars The King is to do his pleasure therein That none of the Nobles nor other Captains of Scotland being the Kâ—ngs prisoners be in any wise delivered The King will do more if need shall be That such aid as is levied beyond Trent may be imployed on the Wars in Scotland That no Appeals be received of any Felonies done in any other Counties then where the Appeals were taken The King is not advised to make such new Laws That redress may be had for that the men of Bridges in Flunders have forbid all Merchants strangers to buy any staple Ware here The King will talk with the Flemish Ambassador and further to the good of the towns there That all enquires of Nineths granted may cease The King will be advised That the Order made that all Merchants for every Sack of Wooll should bring in two marks of Bullion may be repealed for that carrying over of Bullion is forbidden in Flanders The King will learn the truth of the Ambassador here It is agreed that the Customers at Easter next stay the receipt of two shillings of every Sack of Wool That remedy may be found that no Accomptant in the Exchequer do run in issues before he be warned The Proces shall be first a Venire fac then a Distringas and after a Writ out of the Chancery to the Treasurer and Barons That the Common Law may stand to the Bill of the Navy exhibited in the last Parliament The King will be advised The like motion for three years as before tit 9. It seemeth good for the ease of the Subjects if great necessity do not otherwise cause That the Marshal letting to Bail or at large any person committed to him for the peace do answer damages The King will be advised That no man be barred by non claim A Law cannot so suddenly be made That the Jurors in every Inquest and great assize may say the verity of the fact as in assize of Novel Disseisin The Law shall be kept as heretofore That the Purveyors for all victualls with two honest men where they shall purvey do take by Indenture The Laws heretofore made do suffice That none coming to the Parliament by summons be appointed a Sessor or a Receiver of the Fifteens triennial The King wlll appoint such men as he shall like That the erroneous judgâ—ments in the Exchequer be reversed in the Kings Bench. This was answered in the last Parliament A long complaint against Forresters for Afforresting of mens Purleus for undue tryal and for extortions A request that the great Charter may be kept and that all men may injoy the purlieus according to the perambulation made in the time of King Edward the first The King would the Charter to be kept and such as will complain in the right of their purlieus may have Writs out of the Chancery Whereupon Surry and other Countries shewed that they could not upon suit have such Writs The Order made at the last Parliament shall be kept and general Writs or special shall be granted to all such as will sue therefore so as right be had to the King to the Subjects They pray that the petitions declared by them in the last Parliament whereunto the King and Lords had agreed may be kept and not altered by any new coloured Bill or practice The King by the assent of the Lords made answer then that Laws and process heretofore used could not be altered without making of new Statutes which as yet they could not attend but shortly would On the Backside of the same Roll. The Worsted Weavers of Norwich and the Merchants of the same pray that such Letters Pattents as the King had granted to Robert Poley one of his Valects of assay and one of the Alnage of Worsted in Norwich and elsewhere in Norfolk during the life of the said Robert might be revoked and that they might have the same whereto was answered as followeth It seemeth to the Councel that the same ought to be granted for the common profit of all Estates Anno Vicesimo quinto Edwardi Tertii Rex c. dilecto fideli suo Henrico Com.

Thorp by his late Chief Justice caused the same openly to be read before the Nobles of the Parliament to hear every of their advises all whom affirmed the Judgment to be rightly given considering that he had against his Oath received Bribes and therefore it was agreed by the whole Parliament that if the like case should hereafter happen the King might take to him such Nobles as he should best think and therein do according to his pleasure Petitions of the Commons with their Answer It is Enacted that the great Charter and other Statutes be observed and the King in consideration of the great dearth of Corn releaseth the half of his provision appointed to be taken up by the Purveyors That remedy may be had against Labourers The answer doth appear hereafter in a Statute made heretofore That remedy may be had against the Popes reservations by which Broakage and means the Pope receiveth the first fruits of all Ecclesiastical dignities a more destruction to the Realm then all the wars The Answer doth appear in a Statute hereafter made therefore That the like remedy may be had against such as in the Court of Rome pursue to undo any Judgment given in the Kings Court as if he enforced to undo the Laws of the Realm There is a sufficient remedy provided by Law That the Statute made for the peace may be kept It pleaseth the King That no man be put to answer of his Free-hold or of any thing that toucheth life member or fine by opposite before the Councel but by due process of Law Touching Free-hold the King agreeth and of the rest will be advised That no Merchant other then for your Merchants for their great necessity do carry over the good money The King will be advised That the fines of Laborers may be paid to the chief taxes of this Fifteen in aid of the poor The surplusage thereof shall be imployed as hereafter may appear That the Steward and Marshal and their Deputies do make no other Process then was used in the time of King Edward the Second and limited by the Statute therefore provided The King would the Statute to be kept and the Complaint to be heard That no Purveyance be made for Hay or Oats for Horses The Statute shall be observed That the payment of Merchants for wafting over their goods may cease The King will be advised Such payments in short time grew to be a custom called Tonnage and Poundage That the Subsidy of Wool viz. of every Sack may cease The same was granted to the King for a time yet enduring That Sheriffs Escheators and Coroners may have sufficient in their Counties The Statutes made shall be kept That remedy may be had against Sheriffs not paying the Kings duties The Treasurer upon complaint shall pay the same That every Judgment

and Commons assembled in the place aforesaid where the said Chancellor began his long Oration with S. Paul viz. Libenter suffertis insipientes and applied it That being wise desired to hear him the contrary He proceeded with Scripture as that every Messenger bringing joyful news is welcomed Thereby proving that he should be so for that he brought joyful news of the Kings good recovery of a dangerous sickness By the which he shewed that God loved the King and Realm The King for that quos diligo castigo The King by the Psalmist saying Uxor tua sicut vitis abundans in lateribus and thereby sheweth that for children no Christian Prince was so happy and confirmeth the said happiness by the above saying Et videas filios filiorum which the King saw That God thereby loved the Realm he proved by the recovery of so renowned a Prince and that his recovery to be the Fiftieth year of his Reign the year of Jubile the year of joy for that he would thereby impart to his said Subjects as well spiritual as temporal or bodily comforts He then by the similitude That if the head be sound and some particular member of the body diseased that the said infected member can receive no vertue or salve from the head inferreth that as the King being the sound head and willing to shew grace and favor to the Subjects the members the infected with vice cannot receive the same And therefore perswaded such as would be partakers thereof to conform themselves thereafter by having love without which he proveth by S. Paul that nothing doth avail He then turneth his speech to the Lords enlarging the cause whereby they were to think that the King dearly loved them forasmuch as at their requests since the last Parliament the King had advanced Richard there present to be Prince of Wales He then shewed what cause they had to embrace the said Prince by offering to him as the Princes of Cullen did to Christ all honor by throwing abroad money according to the order of the Pagans at the coming of their Prince by offering gold in token of riches and renown and myrrh in token of his honorable scepter He further sheweth that the same Prince should in their hands and hearts without all rancor be embraced and no otherwise then Simeon did Christ for that they had now seen that which long they had longed for and therein shewed how they should obey him as the Vicar and Legat of God that they might see the true peace in Israel viz. in England the inheritance of God whereof after so great victories was great hope The cause of the Parliament he sheweth to be for that the French under colour of Truce granted by the King at the mediation of the Pope and yet enduring had allied himself with the Spaniards and Scots the Kings enemies and had prepared puissant and great Armies thereby conspiring to blot out the English tongue and Nation wherein the King willed to have their faithful counsel Wherefore the Chancellor willed them to go together and give a speedy answer After this Sir Robert de Ashton the Kings Chamberlain declared That he was to move them from the King for the profit of the Realm The which words percase lay not in the Bishops mouth for that they touched the Pope viz. By protesting first that the King was ready to do all that ought to be done for the Pope But for that divers usurpations were done by the Pope to the King his Crown and Realm as by particular Bill in this Parliament should be shewed the King requireth them to seek redress Receivers of petitions for England Ireland France and Scotland Receivers of petitions for Gascoin and other places beyond the seas and of the Isles Tryers of petitions for England c. as above T ryers of petitions for Gascoin c. as above After this the Commons were willed to repair to the Chapter house of the Abbey of Westminster to treat of these matters and how money might be best levied thereto and certain Lords there named were appointed from time to time to confer with the Commons for their better help The Lords and Commons grant to the King towards his great charges Four pence of every poll man or woman passing the age of fourteen years only Beggers excepted The Commons request that the King would appoint two Earls and two Barons to receive as well their Subsidy as the Subsidy of the Clergy and the Subsidy of Woolls granted the last Parliament so as the same be imployed upon the Wars and that the High Treasurer do in no wise meddle therewith Afterwards when it was declared to how great a sum the wages of those four Treasurers would amount unto the Commons then required that the High Treasurer might then be doer therein to the use of the Wars After the two and twentieth of February certain Bishops and Lords the Chancellor Treasurer and Keeper of the Privy Seal and all the Justices by the Kings appointment went to Sheen where the King lay sick and there in their presence the Articles of the Kings general pardon as ensueth were read with other answers made to the Petitions of the Commons as hereafter follow whereunto the King agreeth and willed that they should the next day be read in the House and to make the same the last day of Parliament the which was done the next day being the three and twentieth day of February by authority of the King and of the said President Petitions of the Commons with their Answers The Print touching the Liberties of the Church the great Charter and the Charter of the Forrest cap. 1 2 3. agreeth with the Record in effect but not in form The Print as touching the general Pardon cap. 3. agreeth with the Record Divers Articles of pardon which are comprised in the Pardon aforesaid That all persons and Corporations may have the pardon freely without paying any thing for the Great Seal Such as for Felonies are to sue shall do the same before the Nativity of S. Iohn and pay the Fees onely That such as owe unto the King may upon their Account be allowed of all such Loans as are due to them or to any of their Ancestors The Treasurers and Barons shall make allowance of due debt That title of prescription of any liberties may as well be allowed as if it were by grant and that prescription may be from the Coronation of the King The King by advice will do herein as he shall think best That the Justices of Peace do not enquire of any Articles which are to be redressed in any Lords Leet but only of the peace and of Labourers and that they hold their Sessions four times a year The Statutes heretofore made cannot stand if this be granted That the Patent of
hath been The Commons of Essex and Hertford pray as in 50 E. 3. tit 151.

And the third for assaying his friend in time of necessity according to the Scripture in necessitate probabitur amicus He applieth that the King their undoubted leige Lord was now come unto them not for one but for all three causes For the first to rejoyce with them in the great providence and grace of God by sending his person among them not by any collateral means or election but by special discent of inheritance and for their good wilâ—s was he therefore come to give them thanks To visit and comfort them in their great necessity and adversities He was also come as not onely for the death of the noble King E. 3. and for the Prince his Son but also for the great losses of them on the Sea-coasts and elsewhere within the Realm done by their enemies whereunto he now was come not onely to proffer himself in aid but to confirm all their Liberties to maintain the Laws and Peace to redress the contrary To assay them He was also come as to councel with them for the depressing of the enemy and to require aid of them without which he could not perform the same for all which he willed
Peter-pence shall be paid to the Popes Collectors or no. It shall be as it hath been used That the Justices of Assize may take Nisi prius of issues between the King and other persons of the Exchequer as well as of the Kings Bench or Common Pleas. As it hath been so shall it be That in the Counties of Northumberland Cumberland and Westmerland Indictments of man-slaughter taken in the Sheriffs turn shall continue good and elsewhere It shall be as the Law willeth That no suit between any patties be ended before any Lords or others of the Council but before the Justices onely The King granteth thereto The Print touching Villains Lands Tennants and the book of Dooms-day cap. 6. agreeth with the Record in effect but not in form That such as have been broken in the Wars and others passing the age of sixty years may be exempted for being Escheator Coroner or such like Office that they be of no Juries nor loose Fines or Amerciaments The King will have consideration of Soldiers for the other there is a Statute made which shall be kept That every man have the priviledge of the Clergy notwiâ—hstanding the exception of Bigamy The Law therefore used shall stand That all Aliens as well religious as others do by Candlemass next avoid the Realm and that all their Lands and goods during the Wars may be imployed thereto for divers causes there declared The King granteth thereunto and that they take shipping at Dover to Callice where they shall be searched for carrying over more then for their needful expences except Priors conventual and persons known to be honest and such as be married or in house with Noblemen finding good surety â—or their good behaviour The Print as touching Retaining and Liveries cap. 7. agreeth in effect with the Record but not in form That if notorious felons be committed to the Bishops prison the same Bishop may more narrowly look to their purgation The King hath so willed them which if they do not he will provide by Law That an Escheator upon an Inquest of Office do not seize any mans lands without a Scire facias out of the Chancery It shall be as it hath been used That a Parliament may be yearly holden in convenient place to redress delays in Suits and to end such Cases as the Judges doubt of It shall be as it hath been used That justice be not deferred upon letters passing under the privy Seal or privy Signet That Statute therefore made shall be kept The Print touching Protections cap. 8. in effect agreeth with the Record but not in form Note that the Commons by their Petition required that every man might upon such protections aver that the party was not in the Kings service according to the surmise of his protection Whereunto was answer that averment lay not in such cases They require to know where the Staple should be if happily Calice should be besieged and that in such distress the Merchants amongst themselves might levy impositions for the safe transporting of their goods To the first It shall be in such places of the Realm as was last used to the second let them then make means to the Council and they shall be heard The King confirmeth the pardon made to the Bishop of Winchester who was excepted in the last pardon of King E. 3. They pray that such as in their Charters have Conuzance of all pleas may thereby hold pleas of Assize of No. Disseisen and Morte de Ancest They shall have allowance according to the form of their old Charter and the allowance heretofore made That no manner of Eyer or Trailbaston be holden during the War or twenty years within the Realm The King will be advised That the Bishops and Clergy may pay to the Tallage and Subsidy of their temporal possessions as the Laity doth which yet they refuse to do They shall so do for all possessions come to their hands or which they have purchased since the twentieth year of King E. 1. The print touching the general pardon of King E. 3. cap. 10. agreeth with the Record The print touching Sheriffs cap. 11. agreeth with the Record Note the Commons moved to have had the Escheator in the same case which was denied That the errors of the Exchequer may be redressed in the Kings Bench or Parliament That no ship Boat or other Vessel be forfeited as a Deodand where any person by falling out is drowned The King will shew favour to such as seek the same saving his Regality The print touching prisoners in the Fleet cap. 12. for the first part thereof doth not altogether agree with the Record And for the second part where a man will willingly confess himself debtor to the King the Record is in the Exchequer which is left out of the print which note well That the Ordinaries do receive of the people no pecuniary pains but inflict them with spiritual pennance The King hath charged all Ordinaries to do according to the Laws of the Church and not otherwise That it may be certainly appointed what Ordinaries shall take for the probate of a Testament and making of the Acquittance The King hath charged them to take but reasonably therefore That the King will examine the cause of the great decay of the Navy The King will do therein by the advice of the great Council That none of the Parliament be appointed Collectors of any thing granted now and that all persons whatsoever having Lay-fee may contribute to the charges of the Knights and to all Talliages To the first the King granteth to the second the Lords of the Realm will not so lose their own liberties The Petitions of the Clergy with their Answers That it will please the King to retain such Councellors and Servants as may be proved to be honest and of good skill and not covetous That the King will confirm to the Clergy all their Liberties without any fine paying therefore The King will charge his Councellors to be as good as he may That the Clergy be not impeached before any Temporal Judge for obeying the Ordinances of their Ordinaries The King would the same so as the same do not prejudice his person Crown or Laws of his Land That the Clergy upon every temporal suggestion is arrested into the Marshalsey and payeth for his discharge 6 s. 8 d. where a Lay man payeth onely 4 d. Let the grieved complain to the Steward of the Kings Houshold and he shall have remedy That Purveyors and builders do take of the provision of the Clergy and enforce them to make carriages against their Liberties The Statutes therefore made shall be kept
with this adjunct that for as much as Clerks cannot have their remedy therefore as the Statute would that therefore they shall have their Actions against such Purveyors by way of Trespass and thereby recover treble damages mentioned in the Statute The Sheriffs and Escheators with their Wives and Servants and horse do over-charge poor religious houses and over that do exact great sums of money of them The Statutes therefore made shall be observed The print touching Tithes and Oblations cap. 13. doth in part agree with the Record but not altogether quod nota That upon consultation granted of a pension brought by one person against another all depending before the Ordinary that the same Ordinary may fully decide the cause onely The King will charge the Justices to search forth the old Records and to do thereafter That no prohibition be granted before the whole circumstance of the matter be fully examined in the Chancery No prohibition shall be granted other then heretofore hath been and what ever was appointed in the last Parliament shall stand The Print touching tythes and Averments ca. 14. doth not altogether agree with the Record quod nota That the Ordinary may freely discuss every conditional consultation Let it be as it hath been That upon a prohibition for Tythes of Sylva cedua there may be readily granted a consultation and that neither the Judge neither the party pursuant be impeached therefore It shall be as it hath been That all men flying to the Church-yard or other holy places may enjoy the priviledge thereof without any temporal Watch or Ward No man shall make any ward but one of the Chancery The Print touching Arrests in Churches c. cap. 15. much swerveth from the Record which note Petitions for the City of London That all their Liberties with this clause Licet 2. any Statute notwithstanding may be confirmed To the first the King granteth to the second he will view the contraries and do thereafter They require that no stranger within the same Liberty do buy or sell any Merchandize of another stranger in pain of forfeiture The King willeth the same between Merchant and Merchant onely saving the Liberties of the Merchants of Aquitain That they attend upon no commandment of any the Kings Officers but onely at the Kings suit being sealed with the Great Seal or Privy except the Kings Justices according to their Charter Let it be continued as heretofore hath been It is enacted that the Citizens of London shall by their selves enquire of Customs Impositions and purprestures happening or arising within the City of London It is enacted that the Mayor and Chamberlain of London for the time being shall have the keeping of all the Lands and Goods of such Orphans as happen within the said City Saving to the King and other Lords their right of such as hold of them out of the same Liberty That the interpretation of any word or sentence touching their said Liberties which may severally be taken may be taken according to the intent and claim of the said Citizens Interpretation of Charters belong unto the King wherein if any doubt shall arise the King by advice will make interpretation according to reason That the City of London may enjoy all such Liberties as any other Town in the Realm if they have any other then the said Citizens have Let them declare the especial matter and they shall have answer That no protection Royal be allowed in debt account or Trespass wherein a Free-man of London is ten pounds For victual bought after the voyage or service whereof the protection mentioneth or for debt or contract after the date of such protection purchased the King granteth That no man condemned and laid in Newgate for any debt to any Citizen be removed to answer to the King in the Exchequer unless that the Kings debt be first to be due The King hath appointed the Barons and Officers of the Exchequer so to deal It is to be required that for any answer here given the Kings will is that the Citizens of London be in no wise restrained of any their Liberties or ancient Customs approved The Commons the last day of the Parliament by mouth required the Lords to have good regard that the King might have all such Lands as his Grandfather purchased to the ease of the Commons and also all the goods and Jewels of his said Grandfather considering what had been heretofore done in other Kings days in the like whereunto was made no other Answer but that the Lords wished the same for the Kings part and the soul of his said Grandfather The Parliament continued from day to day from the first day being the 13. of October this present year until the 18. of November in the same viz. in the whole 47 days At the which 18 day the Bills were read and the answers as aforesaid And so the King giving thanks to the

the Parliament vizâ— First was for the maintenance of the liberty of the Church Again for that in the end of the last Parliament the King had according to the order taken elected sundry Lords and others to be of his continual Council but for the sudden breaking up of the same Parliament he was not advised of the number which being chosen and sworn togethâ—r with the Nobles consulted about the Affairs of the Realm and the great dangers wherein the same was and weighing the great charges which the same needed would not fully determine the same without Parliament

B. of Davids by the commandment of the King declared the cause of the Parliament as followeth viz. First for the liberties of the Church maintenance of the Laws and observations of the Peace Secondly for that it was enacted that a Parliament should yearly be holden Thirdly for that the King desired to see and to consult with them so honorable an Assembly there gathered in Gods name which he commendeth willing unity and concord among them to be according to the resemblance of the Church Another great cause was for that the King being left in the midst of great Wars could not endure and maintain the same without their Aid He sheweth further that since the great villany and damage done by the Scots at Roxburgh at Truce thereupon taken for a time they the same Scots have allied themselves with the French to the end to depart from the same Truce and by all means to annoy the King and his friends All which to recite and the charges thereof to bear he willeth them deeply to consider One great mischief in the Commonweal he remembreth them viz. That the Law of the Land and the Law of Arms do not concur together by certain similitudes he wisheth them of those two Laws to make a Relative so as they may stand with the other Another mischief he noteth to wit Slanderers and sowers of discord between Nobles Gentlemen and Neighbours the which kind of men he resembleth to Dogs that eat raw flesh so applying them to eat and consume living men For all which enormities he wisheth them to seek redress and to be there the next day by eight of the clock to hear further Declarations and the Commons to keep the Chapter house within the great Cloister of the Abby aforesaid Receivers of Petitions for England Ireland Wales and Scotland Receivers of Petitions for Gascoyne and other places beyond the Seas and for the forein Isles Tryers of petitions for England c. as above Tryers of petitions for Gascoin c. as above The Friday after the two and twentieth of October the Lords and Commons assembled in the said great Hall where Sir Richard le Scroop Steward of the Kings Houshold declaring his own unworthiness there to speak shewed them how they were invironed with enemies and the King importably charged for keeping possession beyond the Seas namely that Callis cost him yearly twenty thousand pounds Brest twelve thousand marks besides Ireland Cherburgh Burdeaux and Bayn he sheweth that the old grant of the last Parliament was onely dispended in the Wars as the Officers could declare he wisleth them to consult for the rescue and the mean how to levie the charges After that the Commons came before the King where Sir Iames Pickering knight Speaker of the Parliament for the Commons maketh his Protestation as well for himself as for the whole House And first for the Commons That if he should speak any thing which happily might be ill taken it might be as as nothing so as the Commons at any time might amend the same And so much for himself He therefore rehearseth the whole charge of the Parliament pronoun the Chancellor and to the first points touching the liberties of the Church maintenance of the Laws and observations for the Peace the Commons making low curtesies rendred therefore most humble thanks and pray God for the execution of the same To the aid required for the King he sheweth how in the last Parliament upon the like motion to the Commons repeating the great charges of the King by the Treasurer they then made answer that they saw no such cause of aid whereunto for the King it was then replyed that the Kings Coronation was chargeable and that if the Commons would grant such reasonable aid whereby the King might thereby provide an army that they nothing doubted but that the King of himself might continue the same without charging them of long time upon which promise and hope the Commons did then grant the same large aid and being now unable to do the same require pardon thereof thinking that a great part of the same grant remained yet in the Kings Treasury The said Sir Richard le Scroop not knowing any such promise of discharge made in the last Parliament charging them with unâ—ruth for surmising any rest of the last grant to be And thereto calleth for witness William Walworth and Iohn Philpot Citizens of London and Treasurers appointed and sworn Thereupon the Commons make request to know how and in what manner the same sums were defraied whether some were not therefore indebted and who should be Councellors and great Officers

the King and Lords and Bishops came into the White Chamber at Westminster and caused the names of the Knights and Burgesses to be called where upon the default of sundry of them the Parliament was therefore adjourned unto Wednesday after On which Wednesday for that great debate rose between the Duke of Lancaster and the Earl of Northumberland so as great force of arms men and Archers armed in warlike manner on both sides came to the Parliament whereof great complaint being made to the King the King with his Councel and Nobles were much busied to appease the same the King therefore adjourned the same Parliament till Saturday after On that same Saturday the King being in Parliament and the Councel being called by their names William Cant. elect and confirmed Chancellor of England began to declare the cause of the Parliament taking for this his Theam Rex convenire fecit consilium whereupon in English he made a good Oration applying it to the good vertuous government of the King and of his reign affirming that no reign could long endure if vice reigned therein the which to redress by this Parliament that could not be by the order of the other Law the King therefore had called the same Receivers of petitions for England Ireland and Scotland Receivers of petitions for Gascoin and other places beyond the Seas and of the Isles Triers of petitions for England c. as above Triers of petitions for Gascoin c. as above The which done the Chancellor declared That on Munday the cause of the Parliament should more especially be declared willing all men therefore to attend The Wednesday after but certainly it should seem to be the Munday the Commons were all called by their names within the Chamber Blank where Sir Hugh Segrave Treasurer of England by the Kings Commandment remembred the Oration of the Archbishop of Canterbury and said that the especiall cause was to maintain the liberties of the Church and to provide for the observation of the peace and namely to punish the horrible tumults and rebellion made against the King in those tumults who was enforced to grant manumissions to the bondmen and others of the Realm as on them having Kingly power under the Great Seal of England The which he knowing to be done against Law willed them to seek remedy accordingly due for the confirmation or revocation thereof In the end he touched the Kings great want whereof certain of the Council should make them privy And so wishing them thereof to have due consideration wished the Commons to depart to their accustomed place within the Abby of Westminster The Monday after in the third day of the Parliament being the eighteenth day of November the Commons came into the Parliament to present Sir Richard Walsgrave knight whom they had chosen their Speaker who excused himself and desired to be discharged of the office whereunto the King on his allegiance willed him to stand being chosen by his companions Thereupon the said Sir Richard maketh the common protestation He then required a more full declaration of the Kings meaning either by a mean rehearsal or by his repetition The King therefore appointed Sir Richard le Scroop knight and created Chancellor to do the same who did so and namely touching the Repeal of the Manumissions made to the Bondmen Whereto all the Commons cryed with one voice that the Appeal was good and lawful adding That such infranchisement could not pass without their consents and so upon the prayer of the Commons the same Repeal was by assent confirmed Certain Bishops Lords and Nobles upon the request of the Commons are appointed to confer with them After this Conference the Commons thought it good that the King would grant a general Pardon to the offenders in these tumults The Commons require That of the particular consultations of the Bishops Lords and Justices a hearing might be brought to them Whereunto was answered that the old custom was that the Commons should bring to the Lords their conceits and devises and not to the contrary The which the King would should be observed The Commons afterwards coming into the Parliament and making their protestation shewed that for want of good redress about the Kings person in his houshold in all his Courts touching Maintainers in every County and Purveyors the Commons were daily pilled and nothing defended against the Enemy and that it would shortly deprive the King and undo the whole State Wherefore in the same Government they intirely require remedy Whereupon the King appointed sundry Bishops Lords and Nobles to sit in Privy Council about these matters Who since that they must begin at the Head and go at the request of the Commons they in the presence of the King charged his Confessor not to come into the Court but upon the four principal Feasts The Devises of the Commons exhibited in a Schedule First that there may be appointed about the Kings person the most sage and approved wise men in the Courtâ— the like Officers for

RICHARDI 2. THe same Munday being the 24. of February certain Bishops and Lords assembled in the place accustomed in the Palace of Westminster and for that it was reported to them that sundry Sheriffs had not returned their Writs the Parliament by the Kings Commandement was adjourned to the next day The same Tuesday following the King with the Bishops Lords and Commons assembled in the Parliament before
whom Master Robert Braybrook Bishop of London and Chancellor of England by the Kings Commandement declared the cause of the Parliament to be for maintenance of the Liberties of the Church and preservation of the Laws and peace of the Realm He then remembring them of that their ayde granted in the last Parliament and of the Kings purpose to go into Flanders for the voyage of the French sheweth that since the last Parliament heavy tydings came how that the French King had subjected to himself the whole Countrie of Flanders except the town of Gaunt and that upon the same tydings the King called a great Councell at Westminster by which it was determined that the King should pass in person to the rescue of the town of Gaunt if safely with his honour he might so do And that now therefore the Parliament was called for them to consult whether it were best for the King to go in person or to send an Army and for mony to maintain the same with the Circumstances thereto belonging the which he willed them fully to digest and to make speedy answer Receivers of Petitions for England Ireland Wales and Scotland Receivers of Petitions for Gascoyn and other places beyond the Seas and of the Isls. Tryers of Petitions for England c. as above Tryers of Petitions for Gascoyn c. as above After the Commons had debated two daies of the same charge they besought the King to assign to them certain Lords there named to consult with them which was granted albeit it were at the election of the King to assign these Lords or others at his pleasure This done after long deliberation of the Commons of the rates aforesaid they came into the Parliament before the Kings presence and the Lords when Sir Iames Pickering Knight then Speaker after the Common Protestation made saith That albeit the same their consultation did properly appertain unto the King and Lords yet since it stood with their pleasures to charge the Commons therewith their conceit was that it had been best for the King in person to have enterprized a voyage which for that it could not for sundry reasons be they thought it best that the Bishop of Norwich having the Popes Crosary for persecuting the Anti-Pope his adherents should take upon him the quarrell against the French whereof was hope of good success he saith further that considering the Scots were so lusty that they would not agree to any reasonable league whereby we are like to have war which to us was accounted most dangerous they thought that the King or his Uncles of Lancaster Cambridge or Buckingham might not in any wise be spared out of the Realm untill with Scotland some certain order were taken the which they spake not by way of Counsell but to shew their advise whereto for the King was said a little difference to be between Counsell and advise The proffer of the Bishop of Norwich to the King and Lords in the beginning of the Parliament was so as the King would gâ—ant to him the whole 15 th and 10 th granted in the last Parliament with the 6 d. of every pound Merchandize and 2 s. of every Tun of Wine lately granted for the safe keeping of the Seas he would in seasonable time of the year furnish and send into France 3000. men at Armes and 3000. Archers of whom 500. men at Armes and 500 Archers should be appointed to keep the Sea and further that if he might have the West-Admirall to attend he would before March ensuing appoint for the defence of the Sea great Ships of War and Barges well appointed Petitions of the Commons with their Answers IT is enacted that the Liberties of the Church the great Charter and Charter of the Forrest be maintained That for the grant of vi d. of every pound of Merchandize and ii s. of every tun of Wine the Seas may be well kept The Chancellor and other Officers there named shall provide as speedie remedie as may be That the King will provide for the defence of the Marches of Scotland and namely for Barwick and Carlile and that some truce or peace may be taken The Duke of Lancaster and other Lords are sent thither of purpose to take order therein That the Statute of Purveyors may be observed and that ready payment may be made The Statute therefore made shall be observed That the most approved wisemen may be chose to be chief Officers for the governance of the Realm that their names might be known to the Parliament and they not removed without good cause The King by advise of his Lords shall appoint such Officers as shall like him whom he meaneth not to remove before the next Parliament The print touching the pardon Cap. 1. far swerveth from the Record That able men may be appointed to be of Counsell about the Kings Person and that an order may be taken for the Kings houshold so as he may live upon his own The King therein will be advised of his Lords and take such orders as may be for his honour At the request of the Commons it is enacted that the Citie of London shall injoy all such liberties as they had in the time of King E. 3. or as were to them confirmed by the King now saving to all Strangers their Liberties confirmed and saving that Victuallers should have no particular Liberties by themselves but to be under the rule of the Major In short time after the Bishop of Norwich had advised himself he came before the King and Lords and offeredâ— so as the King would allow to him the fifteenth last granted by the Commons he would serve the King one whole year in his wars within France with 3000. men at Armes and 2500. Archers well horsed and appointed the which offer was thought to be very good and for the Kings honour but for that the King would not adventure any of his Subjects unless he knew who should be Chieftain or Lievetenant considering the Bishops profession was to the contrary he required to know who they should be the Bishop would not that declare unless the King did assent to his offer saying that if it were his pleasure so to do they then should be as ready and worthy persons as any were within the Realm his own person and others of the bloud excepted The King accepteth his offer whereupon the Bishop gave him four names of them willing him to chose one such for his Lievetenant as he thought good After the view of whom the King would not seem to choose any Nobleman whereby it was assented that if the Bishop
could not of his own accord agree with any Nobleman for his Lievetenant that then the Bishop should take upon him the charge and generall lycense was granted to all men to pass on with the same Bishop except the retinew of the King and other Nobles After this the Commons desired the King to grant audience to the Lord de la War who was lately arrived from Spain and was to declare how the King might come to an honourable peace with Spain the which they much desired whereto was an answer made that the King would advise with his Councell and therein do what should appertain to his honour Anno Septimo Richardi Secundi Rex c.

Tryars of Petitions for England c. as above Tryars of Petitions for Gascoyne c. as above After this the Chancellor declared the King charged the Lords by their selves and the Commons by themselves to consult about these weighty matters and for mony to serve his necessity laying in the mean time all other matters apart The Lords and Commons granted unto the King one fifteen to be levyed according to a Schedule enrolled The Schedule conteineth the grant of the fifteen and of the payment and of the grant of vi d. of every pound of Merchandize and ii s. of every Tun of Wine on these conditions viz. That the Clergy shall grant the like for their parts and that all estates whatsoever be contributary thereto And that the service of the Bishop of Norwich and of his Captains with the treasure by them received not of them deserved nor well imployed may onely be examined and imployed to the use of the King The Earl of Northumberland promised for himself and the Earl of Devonshire Admirall of the West safely to keep the Seas so far as the charge granted by the Commons therefore would serve viz. of vi d. of every pound of Merchandize and ii s. of every Tun of Wine The Bishop of Norwich being accused for not doing his service according to promise and for receiving of severall summes as well on this side the Seas as beyond requireth respit to answer protesting earnestly therein to shew his innocency and being charged particularly of the receipt of 10000. Francks of gold for giving up the Castle of Graveling to the French he fully purgeth himself thereof And in repeating the matter it fell out that 5000. Francks of Gold given for the said Castle were in the hands of Sir Robert Farmers man who charged in Parliament confesseth the having thereof but maketh a fair excuse for the secret taking wherefore he was committed to prison untill he made payment thereof and untill further order for his enlargement were taken At that time Proclamation was made that all such as had received any mony beyond the Seas of the enemy or of any other for any cause other than for due wages should the next day bring the same into the Chancery or else to be taken as Traytors this Proclamation was made the sixteenth of November Bryars Crossingham and Iohn Spickworth Esquires
were accused for surrendring the Castle of Drinckham in Flanders to the Kings enemies for money without the assent of the Kings Lieutenant There Spickworth proveth that the same was not in his keeping and thereby was discharged Crossingham answered that he yeilded the same upon necessity without money and submitteth himself to their order this was thought no good cause and therefore he was committed to prison The Chancellor in open Parliament charged the Bishop of Norwich with four chief points viz. First where he promised the King to serve him with a certain number for one whole year he had served but half a year and yet returned with his host spoyled The second he promised to muster and shew his Armie at Callice which also was not done and failed of his number The third for that in the last Parliament it was agreed that the King of Castile or some of the Kings Uncles should have gone as Generall for the honour of the Realm the same was not done and thereupon the voyage was lost for that upon the Bishops promise as good a Generall was promised The fourth for that the King appointed to have chosen some other temporall Lords or a sufficient Generall the which was not done because the Bishop took upon him the same whereby great villanies and other displeasures came The Bishop answered that albeit in this case he ought to have Counsell yet making his Protestation that he might all times avoid his answer he answered in person as followeth To the first his Commission was to go speedily to the rescue of Gaunt the which he did and this done as well the Grantoys as his own Captains thought it best to besiege the town of Ipre about which he losing many of his men by dint of Sword and Diseases he could not any longer do any good and therefore upon advice he removed To the second the speed which he made towards Gaunt caused him to make no muster at Callice To the third he had good Captains though not of the best and the Lord Nevill might have had by his own offer but that the King denyed him License the last Parliament To the fourth he refused no Lieutenant at the Kings hands onely the King writing to the Bishop beyond the Seas touching a Generall he therefore gave great thanks to the King for his great care of him and his and that otherwise he refused none as by his Letters may appear The Chancellor replyed taking advantage of the Bishops answer in the end and said that the Bishops answer seemed to the King and Lords no sufficient excuse for without his Imprisonment for what is contained in these four Articles he ought to make Fine and ransome at the Kings pleasure by seizing of the Temporalities of his Bishoprick when the King should please The Bishop after this was willed to declare such as were waged to serve him one year to the end they might serve the King in other places to accomplish their promise Thereto the Bishop answered that upon the delivery of Sir Robert Hulmer his Clarke and Treasurer he would do so Sir Robert was delivered and two severall dayes at the Bishops intreaty appointed for the case At the last the Bishop began to answer to the four Articles in manner aforesaid with somewhat adjoyned for his Purgation The Chancellor by replication disproveth the Bishop and concludeth although the King might pass on the Bishop as on a temporall Lord by reason that he took upon him to serve him as a Souldier and had the Sword carried before him contrary to his profession yet for that time the King would spare to lay hands on his person for his Imprisonment but for his other defaults and villanies the Lords by assent of the Parliament had adjudged him to make Fine and ransome at the Kings pleasure whereto he should be compelled by the seizure of his temporalities and it was commanded him from thenceforth no longer to have the sword carried before him Sir William Elinsham Sir Thomas Trevit Sir Henry de Ferrers and Sir William de Hurnedon Knights were openly accused in Parliament before the Lords for receiving divers severall summes for giving up of Holds and Fortresses without the assent of the King or his Generall together with one Robert Fitz-Raph the summes particularly layed to their charge amounted in the whole to 20000. Francks of Gold They all made certain fained excuses and submitted themselves to the Kings mercy The said Chancellor replyed and gave judgementâ— that they all should pay to the King of what they had received and remain in prison untill they had made Fine and ransome with the King and with them Sir William Harnedon was committed to prison his body and goods to be at the Kings pleasure Petitions of the Commons with their Answers THe print touching the Liberties of the Church the great Charter and the Charter of the Forrest Cap. 1. and 2. agreeth with the Record in effect but not in forme That the Justices of both Benches and Barons of the Exchecquer may be sworn before the King Lords and Commons to do without consideration They be already sworn and if need be shall be again It is enacted that Writs shall be sent to the Justices of Peace to charge them that Vagabonds and Saylors do put in suretie for their good behaviour or else to remain in Prison untill the coming of the Justices of Assize which far swerveth from the Print Cap. 5. quod nota The print touching the execution of the Statute of Winchester Cap. 6. agreeth with the Record in effect but not in forme The print touching the false making of Wollen Cloaths Cap. 9. far swerveth from the Record for that in the print is much more matter than in the Record quod nota The print touching Purveyors Cap. 8. agrees with the Record in effect but not in forme The print touching Writs of Premunire Cap. 14. far swerveth from the Record as having sometimes more and sometimes less than in the Record It is enacted that if Commission or Patent be granted to any Sheriff or Escheator for longer space than for one year that the same be void saving the Kings Prerogative It is enacted that all Denizens passing Wools shall be discharged of 20. d.

The first of forrain affairs was what was to be attempted for defence The second how the same War might be nourished and maintained Touching the Staple he thought best that the same were planted within the Realm considering that the Burgesses of Callice and other towns beyond the Seas grew very rich thereby and good towns at home within the Realm were much decayed And so much for the Common profit Touching the King he affirmed that the Subsidie of Wools yeelded more to the King when the Staple was kept in England by 1000. marks yearly than it did now being holden beyond the Seas Touching the Coyn he sheweth that weighing how all Nations much thirsted thereafter and therefore conveyed much over wherefore the best was to raise them by raising the value That the Realm was best defended by pursuing the enemy by sharpe War and he perswaded by many reasons that it was better to seek than to be sought and that a Subsidie was out of necessity to be granted which was as manifest as being offered to the King would be plausible about all which he willed them to consult Receivers of Petitions for England Ireland Wales and Scotland Receivers of Petitions for Gascoygn and other places beyond the Seas and of the Isls.

On Friday the eighteenth day of February the Earl of Northumberland came into the Parliament before the King and the Lords and there by his Petition to the King acknowledged to have done against his allegiance and namely for gathering of power and giving of Liveries wherefore he prayeth pardon and the rather for that upon the Kings Letters he yeilded himself and came to the King into York whereas he might have kept himself away 12. The which Petition the King delivered to the Justices by them to be considered Whereupon the Lords made Protestation that the order thereof belonged to them And so they as Peers of this Parliament to whom such Judgement belonged in weighing the Statute of 27 E. 3. touching treasons and the Statute of Liveries made in this Kings time adjudged the same to be no treason nor Felonie but onely trespass fineable to the King 13. For which Judgement the said Earl gave great thanks to the King and Lords And at the request of the said Earl he the same Earl was then sworn to be true Liegeman to the King to the Prince the Kings eldest son and to the heirs of his body begotten and to every of the Kings Sons and to their issue succeeding the Crown of England according to the Laws and that done the King pardoneth the said Earl his Fine and Ransome 14. After which the Archbishop of Canterbury prayed the King that forasmuch as he and the Duke of Yorke with other Bishops and Lords were of sundry suspected to have been of the Confederacy of the said Henry Percie that the said Earl might publish the truth the Earl upon the Kings commandement by his oath purgeth them all thereof 15. And on this day the levying of War of the said Sir Henry Percie and others was adjudged treason by the King and Lords in full Parliament 16. At the request of the Commons the Lords accorded that four speciall persons should be removed out of the Kings House viz. the Kings Confessors the Abbot of Dore Master Richard Durham and Crosby of the Chamber Whereupon Saturday the ninth of February the said Confessor Durham and Crosbie came into the Parliament before the King and Lords where the King excused them saying that he then knew no cause wherefore they should be removed but onely for that they were hated of the people and therefore charged them to depart from his House according to the agreement and the like he would also have pronounced against the Abbot if he had been present 17. On the same Saturday the Commons gave great thanks to the King in full Parliament for the favour

That whereas recovery is had in Wapentakes Hundreds Court Barons in debts covenant and other actions there pleadable the Bailiffs of those Courts do fount distress de Chatull de viss in lien of Execution according to the usage of the County which so remain oft-times very long before greement be made with the Plaintiff that if gree ' be not made with the plaintiff within fifteen dayes after judgement the Bailiffs of such Courts by the Oath of three or four des mientz homes de la ville ou lezecution serra in the presence of the plaintiff shall apprize the goods so taken by force of the judgement to the very value and sell them and if they cannot find such as will buy then to deliver the same to the Recoverer at that value Let the ancient Law be held untill it please the King by his Councel otherwise to ordain That whereas it was lately ordained and assented by the King and his Councel that the men and horses of the Kings houshold should not be harbinged in any part of the County but by Bill of the Marshal of the house and that they should deliver those Bills to the Constables of Towns and should be harblnged by them and that the Constables should cause them to have such sustenance for themselves and their horses as shall be meet and should cause their victuals to be prised by men of the same Towns sworne and that they before their departure thence should pay the parties of whom their victuals were taken And also it was assented that the horses and harness might be arrested untill they did pay for their victuals But now they go from Town to Town and harbinge themselves without any Constable and take mens goods without payment or apprising And if perhaps they bring Bills to the Constable therein is no mention made for how many horses or for how long So as they charge the Country at their own pleasure and depart without making paiment That in every Bill mention be made for how many horses Livery shall be made and that no horse have more then one Garson The Bill to be delivered to the Constable and he to make the price by men sworne of the Town so as the parties make paiment from day to day for such victuals according to the price without other delays according to the Statute The King is pleased that this Article and every point in it comprised be kept in all points according to the form of the Statute That Writs of Attaint be granted in Writs of Debt and in all other Writs and Bills where the Demands or the Damages do amount unto Forty shillings as well in Enquest past as to pass The antient Laws shall remain until the King be better advised Whereas divers Ministers of the King and others do sue tam pro Domino Rege quam pro seipsis whereas the whole Principal and Damages recovered doth go to themselves and not to the King in which case a man cannot have an Attaint or a Writ of Error That in such case Writs of Attaint may be granted as well for Enquests past and Judgments given as for Enquests to pass and Judgment to be given Touching Writs of Error let them be granted And as for Writs of Attaint the same was never ordained That a Writ of Scire facias may lie in case of garnishment which issueth out of a Judgment or of a Recognisance as well of debt as of damages as in case touching Land and in every other case where garnishment lieth where the thing whereof Execution is demanded amounteth to Forty shillings as well of Execution awarded as to be awarded Let the antient Law be kept until the King shall be pleased otherwise to ordain That Judgments given in the Exchequer may be redressed and reversed if therein be Error in the Kings Bench as well as Error given in the Common-Pleas and not before themselves that gave the same for it is not likely that a man will have a good conceit against his own opinion The King is pleased that when any man complaineth of Error given in the Exchequer the Chancellor and Treasurer and two Justices shall be assigned by Commission to cause the Record to be brought before them in the Exchequer and the Process of the Plea wherein Error is supposed and the same to correct as shall appertain The Merchants of Cities and Boroughs and the Commonalty of the Land shew that the Merchants are disturbed to buy and sell the Commodities of the Land as Tin of Cornwall may now be bought by no Merchant but by one stranger Tidman of Limberghe who buyeth all and sendeth over the Sea And pray that no such Merchandise be sold in gross but to the Commonalty of Merchants That is a profit belonging to the Prince and every Lord may make his profit of his own That no person by the voluntary suggestion or Certificate of an Accuser be by Writ sent for to come before the Kings Council where they are often inforced to make Fines or to lay down great sums of money or otherwise adjournez outre le meer as hath been heretofore often done but that such grievances be not afterward done The King is pleased that hereafter such things be not done against reason That all men may freely pass Wooll over the Seas at their pleasure paying the antient Custom of half a mark which thing was ordained by the Kings Charter That Subsidy was granted for a time yet enduring within which time the King will advise with his Council what shall be best to be done therein for the good of the people That the Statute whereby it is ordained that Sheriffs and Escheators shall be sufficient persons within the County and they not to remain longer then one year may be kept The King is pleased that the Statute shall be kept but when a good Sheriff is found his Commission shall be renewed and he newly sworne That the new Custom lately set viz. upon every Cloth carried forth by English Merchants 14 d. and by strangers 21 d. and upon every Worsted cloth 1 d. and of strangers 1 d. ob and of every Lit. 10 d. and of strangers 15 d. may be taken away The King Prelates Counts autres Grantz will that this Custom shall stand for it is good reason that such a profit be taken of Clothes wrought within the Realm and carried forth as of Wools out of the Land rateable the Cloth as the Sack That the Statute of Winchester and other Statutes made by the King and his Progenitors be kept and that the people be not grieved contrary to these Statutes The King is pleased that the Statute of Winchester and the other be kept Whereas the Aviners of the King Queen and
Prince severally do come yearly and assess Towns severally at Ten Quarters of Oats more or less at their pleasure and the same do cause to be carried away without paying for the same That such Tallages and Purveyance may be taken away The King hath and will forbid it and that no man take contrary to such prohibition saving to him the Queen his Companion and their Children their rightful takings That whereas the four great Rivers of England viz. Thames Tese Ouse and Trent were wont from Antiquity to be open and free for every Ship to pass with Merchandises and now of late daily the said Rivers are stopped and turned aside by Goors Mills Piles and Pales erected by every Lord against his own Land so as Ships cannot pass without danger That Justices may be assigned in every County to enquire of this business and to remove the oppression The King is pleased that such and so many Commissions shall be granted as reasonably shall be needful and that every man shall be heard that will complain for himself and the King That whereas a man is indicted and appealed of Felony and doth render himself at the Exigent although he be afterwards acquitted of the Fâ—lony yet his Chattels are forfeited without enquiry whether he did flie or withdraw himself Forasmuch as a man may be indicted in a forein Country being ignorant of it That therefore no man hereafter lose his Chattels but where it is found by Verdict that he withdrew himself Let the antient Law be kept until the King by advice of his Councel shall otherwise ordain That from henceforth no franchise Royal Land Fee or Advowson which belong or be annexed to the Crown be given or severed from the Crown The King will advise with his Councel that nothing shall be done in such case but to the honour of him and his Realm Whereas the Horses of the King the Queen and the Prince do wander into divers parts doing much hurt and damage to the people by taking of Hay Oats c. contrary to Ordinances already made That the King will ordain that those Horses may abide in some certain place of the County where they are and that purveyance may be made for them in convenient time of the year by the Depuâ—ies as may be agreed between them and the owners of these goods and that enquiry may be of all the ill behaviour of those takers before this time and that by Commissions the Plaintiff or parties grieved in this kind as well of wrongs heretofore done or hereafter to be done may be heard and determined The King is pleased that the Ordinances already made shall be kept and that purveyances may be made for his best profit and ease of the people Whereas it hath been ordained That all men may passe freely with their Wools and other Merchandise certain Merchants that have of the King the Custome and Subsidie for a certain sum yearly by colour of a bargain or purchase which they have made of the Kings Wools will suffer no man to passe over Wools but only thâ—ir proper Wools except they pay two Marks for a sack of Wool above the Custom and Subsidy to the great damage of the people and abâ—sement of the price of Wools whereof they desire remedy and that the Merchants may answer in this Parliament for such their out-rage done to the people Let the Merchants be called into the Parliament and Answer The poor Merchants shew That whereas Wools were taken at Dordraghe to the Kings use for which by Parliament allowance was made to the Merchants for their debts out of the Subsidy and Custom granted to the King Viz. twenty shillings for every sack carried over Sea And whereas a great part of the rich Merchants are satisfied of the Subsidie and Custom aforesaid and the poor Merchants yet behind of that which to them belongeth by reason that the rich Merchants have sued to the King that they and no other puissent a chatre les dits debts des poures merchants and to take allowance of the King and pay little to the poor Merchants but at their own will so as the rich Merchants are satisfied and the poor undone That therefore the King will pay them part of their debts or make to them assignment of part thereof and they will lose to the King the other part of their said debt or that the King will make to them such allowance as he made to the rich Merchants The King is pleased that the poor Merchants that are not satisfied shall shew to the Treasurer their Obligations and Patents whereof the Treasurer shall inform the King and he by advice will take Order that gree be made unto them assoon as he well may That whereas Edw. 1. lately granted to the people Purlieu through all the Forrest of England and granted to every man that would his Charter containing the bounds of the Forrests according to such Purlieu And afterward Edw. â— confirmed the same by his Charter which hath so continued untill of late the Kings Ministers have and do daily afforrest that which was dis-afforrested and put into regard that which was out of regard contrary to the Purlieus and the Charters of the said King also that the Ministers do summon mâ—an folk of forrain places to Indict people at their pleasure and make them travell from place to place and threaten them until they make Indictments at their appointment and desire And these Ministers purpose to afforrest Towns neer Forrests where are no wilde Beasts and do often grieve the people by the often coming of Forresters without profit to the King And whereas a Forrest is in divers Counties the Kings Ministers take folk of the one and the other County and by force make men of one County to indict men of another County of matters whereof they are ignorant of which grievances a man can have no Writ nor other remedy in the Chancery whereof they pray remedy The King is pleased That the Charter of the Forrests be kept in all points As touching Purlieus if any man will complain let him shew his grievance and thereupon he shall have a Writ in the Chancery and right shall be done him That Inquiry may be by good men why the King taketh no profit of that which he hath in Ireland Come toutz ses auncestors avoint ad de bien de la come pur maintenance sa guerre Seeing he hath more in Ireland then any of his Ancestors had and if default be found in the Ministers that such other be put in their places which will answer the King of the reasonable profit thereof The King is pleased that it shall be so Whereas many upon an Inquest of Office found for the King are put out of their Lands
