our most Christian King in His blessed and famous Purposes and Proceedings to the establishing both of true Christian Religion in this His Church of England and Ireland and of a Christian Policy in the civil State of the same c. and after they granted the Subsidies It is far from my thoughts to delight in raking into the misfortunes of any much less of great men but in all Ages it hath been allowed to publish the Memoirs of ill men to the intent to deter Posterity from acting and committing such Crimes and Offences which we find were severely punished both by God and Men. And whoever will take the pains to run over the ancient Historians and Records of the Kingdom will find that the Troubles in Richard the 1st's time the Barons Wars the Confusions in E. 2 d's time the woful Distractions in the Reign of R. 2. and H. 6. had their source and rise from one grand Cause the extravigant and insufferable Dominion and Power of Minions or Favourites with their Partisans which K. James rightly calls Pests and Vipers of a Common-wealth who notwithstanding their spetious glosses and pretences of Loyalty to the Crown rather then suffer themselves to be questioned and punished by Law for their Arbitrary and Illegal Acts Resolved to run the hazard of and see the ruine and destruction both of Prince and People My Lord Bacon after he was Sentenced in Parliament meeting with Sir Lionel Cranfield after Earl of Middlesex whom King James had then newly made Lord Treasurer My Lord Bacon having first congratulated his advancement to so Eminent a Place of Honour and Trust told him between jest and earnest That he would recommend to his Lordship and in him to all other great Officers of the Crown one considerable Rule to be carefully observed which was to Remember A Parliament will come I do not believe that his Lordship had the Spirit of Divination But certain it is that two years after in the Parliament 21. and 22. of that King the Commons Impeached the Earl for what and what the Judgement was thereupon hear the Record Messuage sent to the Commons by Mr. Serjeant Crew and Mr. Attorney General viz. That the Lords are now ready to give Judgment against the Lord Treasurer if they with their Speaker will come and demand the same Answered They will attend presently The Lords being all in their Robes the Lord Treasurer was brought to the Bar by the Gentleman Usher and the Serjeant at Arms his Lordship made low obeysance and kneeled until the Lord Keeper willed him to stand up The Commons with their Speaker came and the Serjeant attendant on the Speaker presently put down his Mace The Speaker in their Name to this Effect viz. The Knights Citizens and Burgesses in this Parliament assembled heretofore transmitted unto Your Lordships several Offences against the Right Honourable Lionel Earl of Middlesex Lord High Treasurer of England for Bribery Extortion Oppressions and other grievous Misdemeanours committed by his Lordship And now the Commons by me their Speaker demand Judgment against him for the same The Lord Keeper Answered The High-Court of Parliament doth adjudge 1. That Lionel Earl of Middlesex now Lord Treasurer of England shall lose all his Offices which he holds in this Kingdom and shall be made for ever uncapable of any Office Place or Imployment in the State and Commonwealth 2. And that he shall be Imprisoned in the Tower of London during the Kings pleasure 3. And that he shall pay unto our Sovereign Lord the King the Fine of 50000 l. 4. And that he shall never sit in Parliament more 5. And that he shall never come within the Verge of the Court. Ordered That the Kings Councel draw a Bill and present the same to the House to make the Lands of the Earl of Middlesex liable unto his Debts unto the Fine to the King unto Accompts to the King hereafter and to Restitution to such whom he had wronged as shall be allowed of by the House So that the familiar saying of my Lord Coke is very remarkable That no Subject though never so Potent and Subtile ever confronted or justled with the Law of England but the same Law in the end infallibly broke his Neck THE CASE OF George Ferrers Esq IN the Lent Season whilst the Parliament yet continued one George Ferrers Gent. Servant to the King being elect a Burgess for the Town of Plimouth in the County of Devon in going to the Parliament-house was Arrested in London by a Process out of the Kings-Bench at the Suit of one White for the sum of two hundred Marks or thereabouts wherein he was late aforecondemned as a Surety for the Debt of one Welden of Salisbury which Arrest being signified by Sir Thomas Moyle Kt. then Speaker of the Parliament and to the Knights and Burgesses there order was taken that the Serjeant of the Parliament called S. J. should forthwith repair to the Compter in Breadstreet whither the said Ferrers was carried and there to demand delivery of the Prisoner The Serjeant as he had in charge went to the Compter and declared to the Clerks there what he had in commandment But they and other Officers of the City were so far from obeying the said Commandment as after many stout words they forcibly resisted the said Serjeant whereof ensued a Fray within the Compter-gates between the said Ferrers and the said Officers not without hurt of either part so that the Serjeant was driven to defend himself with his Mace of Armes and had the Crown thereof broken by bearing off a stroke and his Man strucken down During this Brawl the Sheriffs of London called Rowland Hill and H. Suckley came thither to whom the Serjeant complained of this injury and required of them the delivery of the said Burgess as afore but they bearing with their Officers made little account either of his Complaint or of his Message rejecting the same contemptuously with much proud language So as the Serjeant was forced to return without the Prisoner and finding the Speaker and all the Knights and Burgesses set in their places declared unto them the whole Cause as it fell out who took the same in so ill part that They all together of whom there was not a few as well of the Kings Privy-Councel as also of his Privy-Chamber would sit no longer without their Burgess but rose up wholly and repaired to the Vpper House where the whole case was declared by the mouth of the Speaker before Sir T. Audley Kt. then Lord Chancellor of England and all the Lords and Judges there assembled who judging the Contempt to be very great referred the punishment thereof to the Order of the Common House They returning to their places again upon new debate of the Case took order that their Serjeant should eftsoon repair to the Sheriffs of London and require delivery of the
