Denmark Swecia Norway Croatia Dalmatia and Scotland are the Popes Vassals Tributaries holding all their Crowns Kingdoms from him as his Feudatories under several annual rents and tributes and an Oath of Homage and Fealty It is no wonder therefore if they pretend the like Title under the like Tenure and Vassallage to the Realms of England and Ireland Pope Alexander the 2d had the impudency to affirm That ever since the kingdom of England received Christianity it hath been in the hands and power of St Peter if his Epistle be not forged by e Baronius If this were a truth then King Iohns resignation of his kingdom to the Pope was only a restitution of that antient right the Pope had thereto before in Recognition of the Popes Soveraign Dominion over it and his resuming of it from the Pope under an annual rent nothing but an revival of the former Service due to Rome as f Marta g Carerius and h Schioppius argue in the cases of Constantines pretended Donation Charles the Great Pepins and others grants of Lands and Territories to the See of Rome But none of our Monks or Historians of that or any age since though professed Votaries to the Pope ever made such a pretence or conclusion as this Therefore it is a meer forgery a Cardinal Bellarmin and other Romanists falsely averre That the kingdom of England was semper Beneficiarium et Tributarium Romano Pontifici because King Ina and Offa Anno 740. Adelphus Anno 847. paid a penny for every house to Saint Peter by way of Tribute confirmed by several Lawes And King Henry the 2d acknowledged the Pope to be his Temporal Lord himself his Feudatory and his Kingdom the Popes Patrimony The falshood of which having at large refuted I shall pretermit as fabulous only if true it quite subverts or enervates this Charter of King Iohn and reservation of the annual rent as a New thing honor rent not formerly acknowledged by his predecessors But their principal Title to England and Ireland is from King Iohns Charter under his golden Bull which they boast to be yet extant in the Vatican by which the Pope hath as Bellarmine and Marta assert Directum Dominium in Regnum Angliae et Hiberniae that King Iohn and his Successors are thereby made Feudatories and Vassals to the Pope whence b Pope Innocent the 3d. in a vaunting manner said of King Iohn Vassallus noster est Rex Angliae et Romanae Ecclesiae To counterplead and enervate this Grand pretended Title of the Pope I shall desire the Readers to consider 1. That Sir Thomas Moor Lord Chancellor of England who c lost his head under King Henry the 8. his Master in defence of the Popes Supremacy in England is so far ashamed of Pope Innocents proceedings against King Iohn that he avowes it in print d to be utterly UNTRUE that King John did make his Realms thus Tributdry to the Pope or that ever such pensions were paid to Rome for them wherein doubtlesse he mistakes Adding That if he so did or any other English King should so do such an act was of no validity at all as Rossius Warwicensis also resolves 2ly That e Edmond Campian a great Advocate for the Papacy writes Such Instruments might happily then be moved and drawn and yet dye unratified though the copies stand recorded denying any annual pensions paid thereby for England or Ireland to Rome 3ly f M. Antonius Coccius Sabellicus informes us That this pretended Rent out of England and Ireland was granted by King Iohn out of a Religious Vow to expiate his gaining these kingdoms by fratricide without mentioning any Charter or resignation Haâ—d mâ—riâ—ò post Johannes Rex Angliae Ricardum fratrem interfecit Regnumque parricidio adeptus à Ludovico Philippi filio qui tum in Gallia regnabat gravi bello petitus est Tum vero novisse fertur si regnum sibi incolume mansisset futurum ut Anglia et Hybernia vectigales essent Apostolicae sedis magnumque auro pondus voto nuncupavit quod duae illustres Insulae quotannis Romano Pontifico penderent sui itaque Voti damnatus quum ipse tum Successores plerique ut rite actum erat ratum habuere But this voluminous Historian is utterly mistaken in his whole relation of this pension For 1. King Iohn did not murder his brother King Richard who died of a shot out of Chaluz Castle as all our g Historians record 2ly He obtained not the Realm by parricide but by his Brothers special bequest at his death and heir to him 3ly This Rent was granted before Lewis the French Kings Sonne warred on him upon Philips intended invasion but admit it true the very force of warr nulls it 4ly None of our Historians mention any such Vow of King John as the cause of this grant 5ly Not one much lesse many of his Successors acknowledged it rightly granted nor ever confirmed but protested against it as null though one or two of them now and then voluntarily paid it upon other grounds Raphael Volaterans Geogr. l. 3. f. 54. concurring with Sabellicus records that Johannis cum gravi bello à Ludovico Gallorum Rege premeretur EX VOTO Angliam Iberniamque Romano Pontifice Vectigales fecit ut auri Marcas 70. quotannis penderent Anno salutis 1208. he being mistaken in the occasion quarrel summe year of the grant which was not till 1213. and Lewis his warre above a year after that And admit it true this Vow Grant being made by Duresse and force of Warr can be of no validity 4ly h Polydor Virgil a Stranger but yet the last collector of the Popes Peter-pence in England who pried into our Histories Annals and the i Century writers out of him write thus of this Rent and Grant reciting King Iohns surrender of his Crown Nunquamnisi à Romano Papa recepturus sic enim fieri jusserat Nocentius crudelis et sanguinis Anglici sitientissimus add the Centuriators ex quo fama est Johannem cupientem perpetuare memoriam muneris accepti therfore a meer free gift not tribute in their judgements ea lege fuisse se Beneficiarium not tributarium ut Reges deinceps à Pontifice duntaxat Romano jura regni consequerentur Caeterum has reconciliationis Leges qui secuti sunt Reges mimme servarunt neque Annales Anglici de hujusmodi donatione loquuntur Iohanni tantummodo qui deliquisset imposita non item Successoribus sustinenda fuisse satis constat So that by this resolution of the Popes own Collector in England the grant of these annual rents obliged only King John himself the delinquent who imposed them not his heirs successors or kingdoms in the least degree To which the Century collectors assent 5ly a Matthew Paris and Matthew Westminster themselves both Monks extraordinary Votaries to the Popes and inveterate Enemies to King John deride scorn his Charter to the Pope which they first inserted into their Histories stiling it
dying of the Plague Wengham made no bones to accept thereof notwithstanding his insufficiency and want of learning and knowledge in Divinity and withall procured these Letters Patents from King Henry by advice of his Counsil in imitation of the Popes Commendaes then grown very common to hold and retain all his former Ecclesiastical dignities and Benefices whereof the King was Patron together with his Bishoprick for so long time as the Pope should please to grant him a dispensation whose dispensation alone would not barre the King to present to those dignities and Benefices being all voyd in Law by making him a Bishop REX Venerabilibus patribus Archiepiscopis Episcopis ad quos praesentes literae pervenerint in quorum diocesibus Venerabilis Pater H.

Lugubrem detestabilem non formosam sed famosam subiectionem Scriptum toto mundo execrabile c. And relate the Judgements of the English French and others who reputed it Null voyd and a most detestable example thereby sufficiently intimating their own concurrence therein 6ly As the Archbishop of Dublin openly protested against the first Charter and the Legates insolency when he received it and the money he trampled under his feet as b Matthew Paris himself records so he writes That Stephen Langton the Archbp. the Popes own Legate great creature and a Cardinal though he underhand consented to and abetted it to render King Iohn despicable detestable to his Barons Subjects and all forreign Princes to accomplish his own designs and wreck his malice upon the King yet to preserve the hereditary Rights of the Kingdom inviolable and accompiish his own ends the better so soon as this Charter was sealed and presented at the high Altar in Pauls and delivered to the Popes Nuntio he stepping out in the presence of the King Legate Barons and all there present in the name of the Clergy and Kingdom boldly and earnestly presented at the same Altar in solemn manner his Appeal against this Charter so detestable to the whole world as Rossius Martinus Dr. Beard and others relate But hear d Matthew Paris himself Ralph Bishop of Chichester then Chancellor of England being elected Archbishop of Canterbury by the Monks after the death of Richard and the Monks of Canterbury pressing the Pope to confirm his election Anno 1231. thereupon the Pope made diligent inquiry of Simon Langton Stephens Brother elected but rejected by King Iohn and the Pope too at his request to be Archbp. of York concerning Ralphs person and disposition thereupon Respondit illum curialem esse illiteratum rapidum in verbis festinum quod durius est si ad illam dignitatem promoveretur moliri volentem ut anhelante ad hoc Rege cum toto regno juvante excuteret Angliam de sub jugo domini Papae et Curiae Romanae qui eidem tenetur sub tributo ut soluto vinculo tributi quo irretivit eam Rex Iohannes solita Deo et Ecclesiae sanctae serviret libertate Et ad hoc vellet usque ad expositionem capitis decertare innixus juri et appellationibus Stephani Cantuatiensis Atchiepiscopi quas fecit solenniter idem Stephanus ante Altare Sancti Pauli Ecclesia Cathedrali Londinensi cum redderet coronam Angliae memoratns Rex Iohannes in manns Legati conficiens scriptum toto mundo execrabile Papa autem his auditis sermonibus postulatione cassata concessit ut Conventus Cantuariensis alium Archiepiscopum ac talem eligerent qui sibi esset Pastor Animarum salubris et Ecclesiae utilis Anglicanae et Romanae fidelis ac devotus tus Monachi igitur domum reversi Conventui retulerunt quomodo fuerant a sno desiderio defraudati And after the Election of two others whom the Pope rejected were enforced to elect St. Edmond whom the Pope recommended to them In this Historical passage there are seven most observable circumstances considerable 1. That Simon Langton brother to Stephen Archbishop of Canterbury his principal agent for his restitution privy to all his Actions being made Archdeacon of Canterbury by him and at this time holding that office informed the Pope of these Appeals of his brother Stephen Archbishop of Canterbury publikely made at Pauls Church London when King Iohn there summoned his Barons and sealed his Charter to him Therefore no fiction but a real truth 2ly That this information was within 16. years after the resignation and charter thus made 3ly That King Henry the 3d. and the whole kingdom then groaned under and resolved to cast off this unjust Tribute Charter and to protest against it as invalid 4ly That if Ralph were admitted and consecrated Archbishop the design in electing him to that place he would certainly with the peril of his life protest against this reserved Rent and Charter as voyd in Law because Stephen his predecessor had thus appealed against it at the very sealing and delivery thereof as not only voyd but detestable and therfore the King and kingdom would wholly exempt themselves from it which had been a vain surmise had there been no such appeal 5ly That Simon himself as well as his Brother Stephen acknowledged this Charter and Tribute to be not only detestable in it self and to the King and kingdom of England but even to the whole world and therefore certainly most illegal and invalid 6ly That Pope Gregory the 9th believed both the truth of this relation and Appeal and upon this information and ground alone vacated the election of Ralph to prevent this design of the King kingdom and Archbishop elect to shake off this Tribute and yoak of bondage enforcing them to elect another more complyant with his designes to preserve his interest in this annual Rent though reserved by such a most detestable Charter 7ly That it was afterwards insisted upon in the Council of Lyons and not gainsaid by the Pope 8ly That the English Barons themselves though they were present and connived at this charters sealing and delivery by the King the better to effect their own designs against him being made most contemptible and quite devested of his Royal honor and most of his authority thereby yet they abominated declaimed protested against it and him with highest Indignation and detestation when executed witnesse these passages and Speeches of theirs recorded by a Matthew Paris First within few moneths after this second resignation and Charter Anno 1215. All the Nobles assembled in a Great Council at London together with the Archbishops Bishops Abbots Priors and Clergy where the King ratified the Great charter and Charter of the Forrest and Charter concerning the freedom of Elections to Bishopricks and Monasteries perceiving King Johns heart both by his gestures and speeches to be totally averted from them and himself almost distracted with sad melancholly thoughts for sealing his second Charter to the Pope and Confirmation of the Great Charter and that of elections antequam ipsum Concilium solveretur continua mente praesaga futuros eventus ponderabant dicentes Vae nobis immo toti Angliae carenti rege veraci et oppressae Tyranno subdolo et summis conatibus regnum Angliae evertenti Nos jam Romae subjecit et Romanae Curiae vt protectionem ab ea consequeremur timendum est ne injuriosas suppeditationes in posterum inveniamus Nunquam audivimus de aliquo Rege qui nollet colla servituti subtrahere iste sponte succumbit Et sic lamentantes Regem recedendo reliquerunt ad propria revertentes A strong evidence they never advised assented to or approved it as both Charters falsly recite but thus openly and joyntly declaimed against lamented the sad consequences of it which they both foresaw feared and thereupon departed from him to their homes
thus put the Realm or all or any one of their English subjects in subjection and obeysance to the kingdom and Crown of France as they were Kings of France when rightfull Kings both of France and England as this Act declares and resolves much lesse then could King John without their assent subject both himself his Crown kingdoms of England and Ireland and all his Successors to the Pope under Homage and an Annual Tribute he having not the least colour of Title or Right to either and to whom they were not formerly subject as the English were to King Edward before the Crown of France descended to him being their lawfull King 5ly In the Parliament of 2 E 3. The excessive Dower of Queen Isabel the Kings Mother was by common consent of Parliament resumed into the Kings hands as prejudicial to the King kingdom and not setled by Parliament and she reduced to an annual pension of One thousand pounds by the year in lieu thereof or 3000. Marks as Henry de Knyghton stories No Joyntures of our Queens being irrevocable in Law unlesse confirmed by Parliament as most have been 6ly All the Commons of England in their Petition with the King Lords Commons and whole Parliament of 16 R. 2. in c. 5. of Praemunire declare and resolve That the Crown and Kingdom of England hath been so free at all times that it hath been in subjection to no Realm or forreign power but immediately subject to God and to none other Which by Popes Provisions and suites in the Court of Rome for Benefices and other particulars restrained in this Act under the penalty of a Praemunire should in all things touching the Regality thereof be submitted to the Bishop of Rome and the Lawes and Statutes of the Realm be by him defeated and frustrated at his will to the destruction of the King his Soveraignty Crown Regality and of all his Realm in defence whereof in all points they would live and die against the Popes usurpation theron restrained highly punished by this Law If then the Resolution of this whole Parliament King kingdom be true King Johns subjecting and resignation of his Crown kingdoms to the Pope and his successors and Homage to them as their Vassal and Feudary by this Charter must needs be voyd null as being most destructive to his Soveraignty Crown Regality and both Realms of England and Ireland and the ground of all Papal Encroachments complained of in this Statute of King Richard 7ly It is often adjudged resolved in our Law-Books Histories and the Statutes of 16 R. 2. c. 1. 4. 1 H 6. c. 5. 1 H. 6. rot Parl. n. 18. 21 R. 2. c. 9. 7 H. 4. 6. 25 H 8. c. 22. 26 H. 8. c. 13. 35 H. 8. c. 1. 1 Mariae c. 1.
