Authority of Parliament but of many Parliaments such Parliaments of such Infallibility as were those wherein Magna Charta and all its Confirmations were made and grounded upon the Common-Laws of England which as all Lawyers profess were grounded upon the Law of God the Word of God the God of Christians Christ Jesus the God of Truth even Truth it self to put them in Execution If not To what ends are Parliaments or the Laws of God and man to such as dare not or will not if and when they may Doth not the Statute of Ano. 1o. P. M. cap. 12o. which made it Fellony for twelve English persons or above to assemble together of purpose to break any point of the Laws of England imply it to be Warrantable for all the People of England to Assemble together to cause the Laws of England made by all their consents to be observed and to punish not onely the Breakers but also the onely begetters and causers of all the Breakers and Breaches of all the Laws of England the onely assumers of the knowledg thereof and concealers of that knowledge from the People so that none but themselves can knowingly break the Laws because they will not let them know them Lastly If Excommunications be nothing formidable to Lawyers to make them care whether they incur or shun them but as their profit guids them Let us see what the L. Coke saith fol. 536. concerning the conclusion of this Act and the Seals that were put to it and the Oaths of the King and Parliament then and for ever for the Ratification of it omitted in the Stat. at large in Print but to be seen in the Tower Rot. Parl. 7o. Hen. 4th no. 60. begining with the word Simile c. Note saith he the Solemnitie of this Act in that all the Arch-Bishops Bishops Earls Berons c. did put their Seals thereunto A rare example which was done for the obliging of them the more firmly to the observation of this Act which concerned the Laws Liberties and Free-Customs of their Countrey and for their greater Obligation for the due Observation of this Act they took a voluntary Corporal Oath And let us note Expost Q. that if the Judgement of God and this Parliament hath made the Prelates sensible of their slighting of their Predecessors Excommunications seals and oaths by what justice or excuses shall Lawyers avoid the same Judgement And though the Ignorance of Mag. Charta and the Law which Lawyers have begotten caused by concealing the same from them as aforesaid can be no safe Plea for any with God or man without prayers for Remission and manifestation of Repentance yet is Ignorance a better subject for mercy than knowing wilfulness and the people while ignorant of Mag. Charta are more capable of grace for the breaking of it than when they know it if they put not the Iudgements of it in Execution against the causers of their offence Now I shall let you see that there were two Excommunications denounced against the breakers of Mag. Charta according to this Statute as followeth The Year of our Lord One thousand two hundred fiftie three Excomunic prim the third of May in the great Hall of the Ring at Westminster in the presence and by the assent of the Lord Henry by the Grace of God King of England and the Lord Richard Earl of Cornwall his brother Roger Bigor Earl of Norfolk and Suffolk Marshal of England Humohrey Earl of Herford Henry Earl of Oxford John Earl Warren and other estates of the Realm of England We Boniface by the mercie of God Arch-bishop of Canterbury Primate of all England T. of London H. of Ely S. of Worcester E. of Lincoln W. of Norwich P. of Herford W. of Salisbury W. of Durham R. of Excester M. of Carlile W. of Bath E. of Rochester T. of S. Davids Bishops apparrelled in Pontificals with tapers burning against the breakers of the Churches Liberties and of the Liberties or other Customs of the Realm of England and namely of those which are contained in the Charter of the Common Liberties of England Charter of the Forrest have denounced the sentence of Excommunication in this Form By the Authoritie of Almightie God the Father the Son and the holy Ghost and of the glorious Mother of God and perpetual Virgin Mary of the blessed Apostles Peter and Paul and of all Apostles and of all Martyrs of blessed Edward King of England and of all the Saints of heaven We Excommunicate accurse and from the benefits of our holy Mother the Church we sequester all those that hereafter willingly and maliciously deprive or spoil the Church of her Right and all those that by any craft or wiliness do violate break diminish or change the Churches liberties and Free-customs contained in the Charters of the Common liberties and of the Forrest granted by our Lord the King to Arch bishops Bishops and other Prelates of England And likewise to the Earls Barons Knights and other Freeholders of the Realm and all that secretly or openly by deed word or counsel do make Statutes or observe them being made or that bring in Customs or keep them being brought in against the said libertis or any of them the Writers Lawmakers Counsellors and the Executors of them and all those that shall presume to Judge against them All and every which Persons before mentioned that willingly shall commit any thing of the Premises let them well know That they incur the foresaid sentence Ipso sacto first upon the deed done And those that commit ought ignorantly and be admonished except they Reform themselves within 15. daies after the time of the Admonition and make full satisfaction for that they have done at the will of the Ordinary shall be from that time forth wrapped in the same sentence And with the same sentence we burthen all those that presume to perturb the peace of our Sovereign Lord the King and of the Realm To the perpetual memory of which thing We the aforesaid Prelates have put Our Seals to these Presents What though the Form of this Excommunication be Popish Expost and Quer. Is not the Substance the maintenance of Englands Liberties And is not that all which the meaning of this Law requireth If Judges and Prelates as well since King Hen. 8. as before have neglected their Duties in Itterating the charge of their Functions the first in pronoucing Sentence and the other in Executing it doth not once pronoucing once executing of such one Sentence of Law as concerneth all Ages Sexes and Conditions of People to learn and remember no less for the Preservation of their lives and livelihoods than Scriptures for their Salvation take away the plea of Ignorance from all men Shall any man commit that sin which he knoweth to be once so Declared by the Law and think to avoid punishment because not often so Declared by Law-Professours Are not all men bound to search the Scriptures and
