THE PREFACE THAT the great Councils of this Nation commonly called Parliaments consisting sometimes only of the Prelates and Temporal Lords but for the most part of the Prelates great Barons and Commons were always convened by the Kings of this Realm or those who at the time of the Sovereign's being in Foreign Parts were authorized to do it as it is sufficiently manifest from History and Records so it is not gainsaid by the most rigid Antimonarchists and wildest Sectaries Nevertheless such hath been the Art and Industry of those common Disturbers of our Peace as we plainly see that they have as well publickly as clandestinely made it their endeavour to perswade the World That the Supreme Power and absolute Sovereignty doth totally reside in the People and consequently in the Knights of Shires Citizens and Burgesses of the Cities and Burroughs of this Realm as their Representatives though their Electors have no other power to make choice of them than ad faciendum consentiendum hiis quae de Communi Consilio totius Regni ordinari contigerit To do and consent to what shall happen to be determined by the Common Council of the whole Realm as the words of the Writ for convening them to Elect do clearly import By which Argument for fixing the Supreme Power in the People the King is to be no other in effect than a Ministerial Officer to the Multitude and to give an Accompt to that confused Rout when and as often as they shall require it as also to undergo such Punishment for his not governing to their mind as in their vain and giddy Fancies they esteem most fit Which pernicious Doctrine totally destructive to Government hath been but of a late original here and not at all known untill the Presbyterians in imitation of the Jesuits and other Romish Emissaries who ascribe the Power of setting up and deposing Kings to the Pope did first broach it As to the Persons of whom the House of Commons in such great Councils did antiently consist there are those who to gain favour with the Vulgar have not stuck to aver That every petty Freeholder of any Land whatsoever was in times past actually a Member thereof and thereby sufficiently qualified to come and vote therein and consequently have endeavoured to instill into their Heads that absurd Opinion to the end that the Supreme power in the Multitude might be the better countenanced But for a full manifestation of the contrary the Great Charter of King John which in these days hath been so much magnified is evidence sufficient which sheweth That those great Councils most known by the name of Parliaments did anciently consist of Three Degrees or Orders of Men that is to say The Lords Spiritual id est The two Archbishops all the Bishops most of the Abbots and some Priors and of the Lords Temporal viz. The Earls and greater Barons all which had Summons by Special Writs from the King directed to each of them respectively and represented all that held Lands of them Of which two Orders or Degrees the upper House usually called The House of Peers consisted The Third Degree which made The House of Commons being the King's Tenants by Military Service in Capite and commonly called the Lesser Barons who also then represented those of the Commonalty which held of them To the intent also that it may the better be discerned what manner of Persons the Lesser Barons were by whom they which held Lands of them were represented I shall desire the Reader to observe that Summons in 24 Edw. 1. which was of those who were then required to come to NEWCASTLE upon TINE with Horse and Arms As also the Names of those who met at LINCOLN in 29 Edw. 1. and sent that signification under their Seals to the Pope whereby they asserted the King of ENGLAND's Title to the Sovereignty of SCOTLAND by which it will be evident That very many of the Lesser Barons did then joyn with the Greater Barons and at what places they had at that time their chiefest Residences As to these our Parliaments which for divers Ages have consisted of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal Knights for the Shires Citizens and Burgesses the Reader is to take notice That the first Precept for their Summons that is to he found amongst our Publick Records is of no higher Date than the 49th Year of King Henry the Third's Reign which though it was issued out in the King's Name it was neither by his Authority nor by his Direction himself and Prince Edward his Son as also the greater part of the Nobility that stood Loyal to him having in the Month of May before the Date of those Precepts been taken Prisoners by the Rebellious Barons in the Battel of LEWES and so continued until that memorable Battel at EVESHAM which hapned in August the next ensuing Year wherein the King by the happy Escape of his Son the Prince out of the hands of Montfort Earl of LEICESTER did totally subdue them By which Summons so issued out it is observable That none of the Nobility were then called but those that had been in Arms against the King or of their Confederacy But after that time though the King held a Parliament at WINCHESTER as is manifest from our Historians and that his said Son and Successor King Edward the First had sundry Parliaments after he came to the Crown there is not any Memorial of the particular persons thereunto summoned to be found upon Record until the Twenty second Year of his Reign But then as also in those of his Son King Edward the Second and of his Grandson
