of Northumberland had Petitioned the King for his Pardon for having contrary to his Allegiance gathered Forces and given Liveries The King gave this Petition to the Judges to have their opinion of it the Lords Protested against it and said that the Judgment belonged to them and retained the business Et puis leve entendue la Petition les Srs. come Piers du Parlement a queux tielz Iugement apperteinnent de droit adjuggerent que ceo que fust fait per le Conte nestoit pas trahison mes trespas tant seulement Sur quoy le dit Conte molt humblement remercia le Roy les ditz Srs. ses Piers de lour droiturel Iugement And then the Petition being read and understood the Lords as Peers of Parliament to whom such Iudgments do of right appertain did give their Iudgment that what the Earl had done was no Treason but only a Trespass whereupon the said Earl did most humbly thank the King and the said Lords his Peers for their righteous Iudgment Now the Bishops could not be said to be his Peers which shews they were not there 7 H. 4. A Judgment was given much like to that in the 2 H. 4. The King commanded the Lords Temporal to deliver their advice concerning the Earl of Northumberland and the Lord Bardolph who had been killed at Bramham More in Yorkshire by the Sheriff of the County who therewith the Posse Comitatus encountred them in the field There were proceedings against them in the Court of Chivalry after their deaths upon certain Articles of Treason there exhibited against them These Articles were brought into Parliament upon reading of which those Lords Temporal adjudged their Crime to be Treason 5 H. 5. The Commons Baillerent une Petition delivered a Petition directed Al honorable Prince le Duc de Bedford Gardein d' Engleterre as tres sages Srs. de cest present Parlement To the honourable Prince the Duke of Bedford Gardian of England and to the most wise Lords of this present Parliament that Sir Iohn Oldcastle might be brought before them who was indicted and outlawed in the Kings Bench for Treason and excommunicated by the Archbishop of Canterbury for Heresie and that due execution might be done upon him according to their discretion by authority of Parliament Pur quoy agarde est per les Srs. avant ditz del assent de le dit Gardein a la priere susdit que le dit John come Traitor au Roy a son Royalme so it amesnez a la Tour de Londres dilloeques soit treinez parmi la cite de Londres as novelles Fourches en la paroche de St. Giles illoeques soit penduz ars pendant Wherefore it is adjudged by the Lords aforesaid with the assent of the said Gardian upon the foresaid Request that the said John as a Traitor to the King and his Realm be carried to the Tower of London and thence drawn through the City of London to the new Gallows in St. Giles Parish and there to be hanged and burnt hanging The question is now if it shall be understood that under the general expression of Les Srs. de cest present Parlement the Bishops were comprized and so to have been parties in this Judgment and I conceive not first because I observe that generally throughout all the Records and Journals of Parliament almost in all transactions but especially and constantly I find it so in matters of Judicature where they were present it is always mentioned and expressed so at That the Lords Spiritual and Temporal or That the Prelats and Earls and Barons did so and so as it was in the Cases before mention ed of Sir Iohn Lee Richard Lyons the Lord Latimer and the rest accused of misdemeanours And my other reason is that in this particular Case of Sir Iohn Oldcastle I find the Clergy had done their parts with him before declaring him an Heretick and turning him over to the Secular power as the words of the Excommunication run where after having expressed a great tenderness of the desperate condition of his Soul and much bewailed his obdurateness they do condemn him for a Heretick Relinquentes eum ex nunc tanquam Hereticum Iudicio Seculari Leaving him from thence forward as an Heretick to the Secular Iudgment So certainly those good men I mean those Popish Bishops would have no more to do with him as to his farther Execution that the world might see they were not Men of bloud 2.

And hereupon the said Indictment being seen and well understood it was by the said Duke by the advice of the said Lords Temporal at the prayer of the whole Commonalty in this present Parliament and by the Authority thereof Ordered and Decreed c. that he should be led to the Tower and from thence drawn to Tyburn and there executed We see here the Bishops did not offer to advise so much as concerning the Indictment if it should be admitted of and received by the Parliament though a Bishop being Lord Chancellor was by vertue of his Office to bring it out of the Chancery and present it to the House as he did and there left it 28 H. 6. is the sole single President of Bishops being present and not only so but acting and bearing a principal part in a Judicial proceeding in Parliament in a Case that was in it self Capital though strangely shuffled off and Justice wholly eluded Ianuary 22.
