A88231 The peoples prerogative and priviledges, asserted and vindicated, (against all tyranny whatsoever.) By law and reason. Being a collection of the marrow and soule of Magna Charta, and of all the most principall statutes made ever since to this present yeare, 1647. For the preservation of the peoples liberties and properties. With cleare proofs and demonstrations, that now their lawes and liberties are nigher subvertion, then they were when they first began to fight for them, by a present swaying powerfull faction, amongst the Lords, Commons, and Army, ... so that perfect vassalage and slavery (by force of armes) in the nature of Turkish janisaries, or the regiments of the guards of France, is likely (to perpetuitie) to be setled, if the people doe not speedily look about them, and act vigorusly for the preventing of it. / Compiled by Lievt. Col. John Lilburne, prerogative prisoner in the Tower of London, and published by him for the instruction, information and benefit of all true hearted English-men. Lilburne, John, 1614?-1657. 1648 (1648) Wing L2153; Thomason E427_4; ESTC R202741 121,715 88

this collectio abroad I shall draw towards a conclusion and let my Country men here reape the benefit of the answer I sent to the querys of some of my friends mentioned in the Epistle Dedicatory which was the originall and principall occasion of my compiling this book which thus followeth By the statute of Westminster the first made in the 3. of Edward 1. chap. 26. which you may reade verbatim in the 7. page of the following collection their are no fees due from any free man of England to any Officer of Iustice whatsoever but what they have immediatly from the publique treasure of the Kingdom for ther sallories or wages and it is aginst a Iudges Oath to take any whose oath you may at large read in the 10. page following read also that remarkable page in the merror of Iustice pag. 258. 233. for the proof of this but especially read the marginall notes in the 69. page following and he that exacts any shal by the formencioned statue pay back again twice as much c. but it is true by some latter statues as the 23. Hen. 6. chap. 10. which you may reade verbatim in the 18.19 following pages and 33. Hen. 6.12 and 21. Hen. 7.17 c. there are some small fees to be paid And also Sir Edward Cook in the 1. part of his institutes lib. 3. chap. 13. sect 70. fol. 368. saith such reasonable fees as have been allowed by the Courts of justice of an ancient time to inferior ministers and attendants of Courts for their labour and at●tendance if it be asked and taken of the subject it is no extortion But there is none at all due for entring and recording of apperance nor for the removing upon a Certionary But against Sir Edward Cooks opinion in this particular I offer this to consideration that by the Petition of right the King himselfe with all his Lords cannot justifiably lay a penny upon nor take a penny from the meanest man in England without common consent in Parliament and if the King c. the greater cannot doe it then undeniably the Iudges or justices the lesser can much lesse doe it And besides by the same right that under pretence of dues or fees by their arbitrary wills and pleasures they take one farthing from you or me they may take a penny yea a shilling ye a pound yea a thousand pound and so ad infinitum and so Levell and destroy al properrity of meum tuum see for the power of an act of Parliament the notable arguments of Iudg Hutton Iudg Crooke in the case of ship-money but especialy the Parliaments votes annexed to those arguments for which very thing divers of the Iudges in the case of ship-money were this very Parliament impeached of Treason and the Bishops for makeing their cannons by the Kings single authority to binde their Cleargies pursses without authority of Parliament were for that and the like defunct of all their power † † See Mr. Nat.
