to be good Husbands but is most commonly wasted and given unto them that have least deserved and so for want of money to redeem this Land the Common-weale falls to decay then do they also sell the Commons whereby the poor are relieved It were more fit to sell the wast Lands of the Common-weale the which no man will hire and brings no benefit to the Common-weale to the end the Treasury may be enriched and that the Citizens may profit by the tilling thereof But if they may have a Farmer it is not lawfull to sell it Although that Aristotle commends them of Constantinople who sold their Lands for a continual Rent the which is a meer Alienation and money taken before diminisheth the Rent the which was expresly defended by an Edict made by Charles the Ninth And although that afterwards he made another Edict for the renting out of waste Lands and paying of Fines by the perswasion of such as sought to make money For the Parliament of Paris upon the Verification of the said Edict decreed That the Rents should not be redeemed and that there should be no Fine pay'd at the beginning and for that the Commissioners for this Sale did sue unto the King that it might be lawfull to give money at the entry The Court all the Chambers being assembled decreed That the purchasers might not give above a third of the sum at the entry in regard of the value of the Lands the which third part should be received by the receivers of the Revenues a part to be imployed to redeem the revenues that are sold imposing a Quadruple penalty to be Levyed as well upon Receivers as those that had gotten any assignation of the said Moneyes And it is not here needful to relate what losses the King and Common weal have sustayned by such Alienation of the Wast Lands King Francis the second coming to the Crown Commanded his Proctors and Magistrates to redeem the publique Revenues from private occupyers wherein he Complained that the Crown Lands and Revenues were so dismembred and wasted as that which remained did not suffice for the charges that were layd upon them But our King hath far greater cause to Complaine now when as there scarce remaines any thing that is to be sold In the general Accounts of the Treasure made in January in the year 1572. there was no receit made of any Revenues although there was six and Thirty Tousand Crowns in the Receit When as King Francis died as it appeareth by an Account of the Treasure made in the year 1569. and by the same Estate the Alienation of the revenues Impositions and subsidies amounted to Foureteen Millions Nine Hundred sixty and one Thousand Four Hundred and seaventy Livres fiften Soulz and eighty deniers not comprehending Twelve Hundred Thousand Livres for the fourth and half fourth and Four Hundred and fifty Thousand Livres upon the strike of salt the which the Country Guienne redeemed in the years 1549. and 1553. Whereby it plainly appears that the Kings Revenues are almost all engaged and made away for fifteen or sixteen Millions at the most the which is worth above Fifty Millions for that Earldoms Baronies and other seigniories have not been sold for above nine years purchase and if it were redeemed and let to Farme it would amount yearly to almost Three Millions the which would suffice to maintaine the Kings house in state and to pay most of the officers their wages not medling with any of the other ordinary or extraordinary charges And if we may compare a smal Kingdom with a greater the revenues of the Crown of England comprehending the Land subsidies Tares Customs Imposts and all other charges amount to little more then sixscore and ten Thousand pounds sterling a year having a good part of the temporal Lands of the Church annexed to it and yet the Queen doth maintaine her Court and the estate of her Realm very Royally and redeemed the Revenues not selling any 3dly As all these Civilians States Kingdoms Statesmen abroad so our own Parliaments Lawes Judges Lawyers at home from age to age have unanimously resolved That the Kings of England cannot give grant alienate sell morgage their kingdoms nor the Manors Lands Rents Revenues Forts antient Jewels Ships Magazins belonging to the Crown setled on them in trust for the maintenance of their Government the safety of the kingdom and ease of the people from publike Taxes without common consent of their Parliaments Lords Subjects and that if any alienations be made of them they may and ought to be resumed as not only void in Law but contrary both to the Oath and duty of those Kings who alienated them 1. This is most apparent by the description of our Kings Office used at their Coronations the substance whereof still remaineth in the Oath yet taken thus expressed in the Lawes of King Edward the Confessor Lex 17. a Moreover The King by his Right and by his Office ought to defend and conserve fully and wholly in all amplenesse WITHOVT DIMINVTION all the Lands Honors Dignities Rights and Liberties of the Crown of his kingdom And further to reduce into their pristine state all such things as have been dispersed wasted and lost which appertain to his kingdom Therefore this Surrender and Charter of King John was expresly against his Office Duty of a King and he and his Successors might and ought in justice to recall it as voyd prejudicial and dishonorable 2ly By the several Acts of Resumption in all ages of lands given or alienated from the Crown by our Kings The first I shall mention is that of King Henry the 2. thus related in Brompton Nubrigensis and others Anno Dom 1155.

Authority and a grave sound Counsellor friendly and quietly called unto him divers Earls and Barons and taking this Henry the young Prince son of King John set him before them all using these words Behold Right Honourable and Well-beloved Although we have persecuted the Father of this young Prince for his evil demeanour and worthily yet this young Childe whom here you see before you as he is in years tender so is he pure and innocent from these his Fathers doings Wherefore in as much as every man is charged only with the burthen of his own works and transgressions Neither shall the Childe as the Scripture teacheth us bear the iniquity of his Father We ought therefore of duty and conscience to pardon this young Prince and take compassion of his Age as ye see And now forasmuch as he is the Kings natural and eldest son and must be our Soveraign and King and Successor of this Kingdom come let us appoint him our King and Governour and let us remove from us this Lewes the French Kings son and suppresse his people which is a confusion and shame to our Nation and the yokâ— of our servitude let us cast off from our shoulders To these words spake and answered the Earl of Gloucester And by what reason and right said he can we so do seeing we have called him hither and sworn to him our Fealty Whereunto the Earl Marshall inferred again and said Good right and reason we have and ought of duty to do no lesse for that contrary to our mind and calling he hath abused our aâ—fiance and Fealties Truth it is we called him and meant to preferre him to be our Chieftain and Governour but he eftsoons surprised in pride hath contemned and despised us and if we shall so suffer him he will subvert and overthrow both us and our Nation and so shall we remain a spectacle of shame to all men and be as outcasts of all the world At these words all they as inspired from above cryed all together with one voice Be it so he shall be our King and so the day was appointed for his Coronation which was the day of Simon and Jude This Coronation was kept not at Westminster forasmuch as Westminster at the same time was holden of the French-men but at Gloucester the safest place as was though at that time in the Realm Anno 1216. by Gualo the Popes Legate through counsel of all the Lords and Barons that held with his Father King John The manner of his Coronation is thus related by Matthew Paris
