by our Kings and Privy Council without the Parliaments consent 8. That No Subsidies Aydes Tonnage Poundage Impositions or new Customs whatsoever lawfully might or could be granted imposed or levied on the Subjects but only in and by their Free Grants and Consents in Parliament upon urgent necessities on such conditions cautions limitations and for such ends uses purposes in such moderate proportions as our Parliaments thought fit to limit and prescribe And that all Customs Impositions New Taxes Extortions not thus granted imposed by Parliament were constantly complained of punished redressed by the next ensuing Parliaments 9. That our Kings usually returned the Lords and Commons special thanks for their Aids Subsidies though in Cases of publick Defence for their own and the Kingdoms safety and likewise gratified them with the Grants of general Pardons the answer of all their just Petitions Relief of their common Grievances Confirmations of their Liberties and enacting of wholesom New necessary Laws 10. That the first thing the Lords and Commons usually Petitioned for and our Kings Parliaments enacted in every Session was the Confirmation of the Great Charter the Charter of the Forest with other good Laws and publike Liberties and for redress of all Grievances Imprisonments and restraints repugnant thereunto which they still obtained 12. That our Parliaments in former ages have been very carefull to resume all the lands and revenues aliened from the Crown and to reunite them thereunto for the better support of our Kings defraying the publike expences of the Kingdom and the easing of the Subjects from Subsidies and Taxes as 1 R. 2. nâ— 48. 1 H. 4. n. 100. 6 H. 4. n. 14 15. 8 H. 4. n. 29. 52.1 H. 5. c. 9. 28 H. 6. n. 54. 29 H. 6. n. 17. 31 H. 6. c. 7. 35 H. 6. n. 47. 4 E. 4. n. 39 40. 7 E. 4. n. 8. 8 E. 4. n. 26. 13 E. 4. n. 6. and other Records here evidence Neither is this a practice peculiar unto England both in these Parliaments and in former ages but Universal through the world All Monarchs and States having held it for a general and universal Law That the publike Revenues should be holy sacred and inalienable either by Contract or prescription to the end that Princes should not be forced to overcharge their Subjects with Imposts or to seek any unlawfull means to forfeit their goods to supply their necessities most Kings and Princes being for this reason specially sworn and taking an Oath when they come to the Crown in no wayes to sell or make away the Revenues or Lands of the Crown and more particularly the Kings of France England Spain Poland Hungary The which is also observed in Popular and Aristocratical estates as in Venice the Cantons of the Swissers the Senate of Lucern even in later times and at this very day and in Athens and Rome it self in antient times where Themistocles and Cato the Censor caused all the publike Revenues to be seized on which through tract of time and sufferance of Magistrates had been sold unto or usurped by private men saying in their Orations That mortal men could never prescribe against the immortal God nor private men against the Common weal. Upon which grounds the Parliaments of France Poland and other Realms have frequently resumed the Crown Lands and Revenues soldâ— or given away to Princes of the blood Nobles and private persons such Sales and Gifts being meerly void in Law and destructive to the publike as you may read at large in Iohn Bodin his Common-wealth l. 6. cap. 2. Dr. Crakenthorps Defence of Constantine p. 169. to 172. The second Part of my Soveraign Power of Parliaments and Kingdoms p. 12. to 16. and the severall Authors there cited to this purpose All which particulars of late years discontinued and almost quite abandoned are now fit to be revived in all succeeding Parliaments 12. It is observable that our Parliaments now and then either out of hatred envy passion or compliance with some potent ambitious popular swaying Lords and Grandees have most unjustly illegally condemned executed banished fined sentenced oppressed sundry Innocent some well deserved persons without just cause trial or due conviction of any real Crimes whose Sentences thereupon have been justly questioned damned reversed in succeeding Parliaments not only out of Grace and Favour but Justice and common Equity of which you may finde sundry presidents in this Abridgement 13. That all such Parliaments and ambitious self-seekers in them who under a pretence of publike Reformation Liberty the peoples ease or welfare have by indirect surmises policies practices force and new devices most usurped upon the Lawfull Prerogatives of their Kings or the Persons Lives Offices Estates of such Nobles Great Officers and other persons of a contrary party whom they most dreaded maligned and which have imposed New Oaths or Engagements on the Members to secure perpetuate and make irrevocable their own Acts Iudgments and unrighteous proceedings have alwayes proved most abortive successeless pernicious to themselves and the activest Instruments in them the Parliaments themselves being commonly totally repealed nulled and the Grandees in them suppressed impeached condemned destroyed as Traytors and Enemies to the publike in the very next succeeding Parliaments or not long after witness the Parliaments of 15 E. 3.11 21 R. 2.38 39 H. 6. 1 H. 4. 1 E. 4. 1 R. 3. and some others here abridged 15 E. 3.

That Kings created and set up meerly by Parliaments and their own power in them without any true hereditary Title have seldom answered the Lords and Comons expectations in the preservation of their just Laws Liberties and answers to their Petitions yea themselves at last branded for Tyrants Traytors Murderers Usurpers their posterities impeached of High Treason and Disinherited of the Crown by succeeding Parliaments and King as you may here read at large in the Parliaments of King Henry 4. 1 H. 5. m. 8. 39 H. 6. 1 3 E. 4. 1 Rich. the 3d. and 1 H. 7. c. 6. From these 3. last Observations we may discern that as Parliaments are the best of all Courts Councils when duly summoned convened constituted ordered and kept within their legal Boundsâ— so they become the greatest Mischiefs Grievances to the Kingdom when like the Ocean they overflow their banks or degenerate and become through Sedition Faction malice fear or infatuation by divine Justice promoters of corrupt sinister ends or accomplishers of the private designs ambitious Interests of particular Persons under the disguise of publike Reformamation Liberty Safety Settlement according to that of Isay 19.13 14 15.

Towards which Exploit They granted to the King one Disme and one Fifteen to be levied of the Laity so as the King will live of his own without grieving of his Subjects with outragious prizes or such like Whereupon The King revoked the new Commissions for reaâ—ing of Tallages and promiseth from henceforth to remise the same according to the old rate Anno Sexto Edwardi Tertii The Remembrances of the Parliament summoned at York the Friday next before the Feast of S. Michael in the Sixth year of Edward the Third Mense Decembris MEmorandum That the Parliament began before the King came to York On Friday the King was not come to York but remained not far from thence looking for the coming of such as were warned thereto Wherefore at this day the Parliament was adjourned till Monday after and from Monday until Tuesday then ensuing At which day Sir Ieffery le Scroop Knight by the Kâ—nâ—s commandment shewed the Kings approach thither which was uttered in the last Parliament And for that he understood that Edward Bayliol had proclaimed himself King of Scotland he required Councel of the whole Estate viz. Whether it were better for him to assail Scotland or to claim the Demesne of the same or else by making himself party to take the advantage and thereby to enjoy the services as other his Ancestors had But forasmuch as most of the States were absent the Assembly require the continuance of the Parliament until the Utas of S. Hilary then next ensuing at York which was granted and new Summons eâ—pecially awarded to evâ—ry pâ—rson with especial charge to attend so as the affâ—irs between the King and thâ— Realm might not be delayed for the debate betwixt the Archbishops of Canterbury and York for their supreme bearing of their Crosses To thâ—s Parliament came no other of the Clergy then the Archbishop of York the Bishops of Lincoln and Carlile and the Abbots of York and Selby The Archbishop of Canterbury came not nor any other of his Province and all for bearing of the Cross.

and Commons assembled in the place aforesaid where the said Chancellor began his long Oration with S. Paul viz. Libenter suffertis insipientes and applied it That being wise desired to hear him the contrary He proceeded with Scripture as that every Messenger bringing joyful news is welcomed Thereby proving that he should be so for that he brought joyful news of the Kings good recovery of a dangerous sickness By the which he shewed that God loved the King and Realm The King for that quos diligo castigo The King by the Psalmist saying Uxor tua sicut vitis abundans in lateribus and thereby sheweth that for children no Christian Prince was so happy and confirmeth the said happiness by the above saying Et videas filios filiorum which the King saw That God thereby loved the Realm he proved by the recovery of so renowned a Prince and that his recovery to be the Fiftieth year of his Reign the year of Jubile the year of joy for that he would thereby impart to his said Subjects as well spiritual as temporal or bodily comforts He then by the similitude That if the head be sound and some particular member of the body diseased that the said infected member can receive no vertue or salve from the head inferreth that as the King being the sound head and willing to shew grace and favor to the Subjects the members the infected with vice cannot receive the same And therefore perswaded such as would be partakers thereof to conform themselves thereafter by having love without which he proveth by S. Paul that nothing doth avail He then turneth his speech to the Lords enlarging the cause whereby they were to think that the King dearly loved them forasmuch as at their requests since the last Parliament the King had advanced Richard there present to be Prince of Wales He then shewed what cause they had to embrace the said Prince by offering to him as the Princes of Cullen did to Christ all honor by throwing abroad money according to the order of the Pagans at the coming of their Prince by offering gold in token of riches and renown and myrrh in token of his honorable scepter He further sheweth that the same Prince should in their hands and hearts without all rancor be embraced and no otherwise then Simeon did Christ for that they had now seen that which long they had longed for and therein shewed how they should obey him as the Vicar and Legat of God that they might see the true peace in Israel viz. in England the inheritance of God whereof after so great victories was great hope The cause of the Parliament he sheweth to be for that the French under colour of Truce granted by the King at the mediation of the Pope and yet enduring had allied himself with the Spaniards and Scots the Kings enemies and had prepared puissant and great Armies thereby conspiring to blot out the English tongue and Nation wherein the King willed to have their faithful counsel Wherefore the Chancellor willed them to go together and give a speedy answer After this Sir Robert de Ashton the Kings Chamberlain declared That he was to move them from the King for the profit of the Realm The which words percase lay not in the Bishops mouth for that they touched the Pope viz. By protesting first that the King was ready to do all that ought to be done for the Pope But for that divers usurpations were done by the Pope to the King his Crown and Realm as by particular Bill in this Parliament should be shewed the King requireth them to seek redress Receivers of petitions for England Ireland France and Scotland Receivers of petitions for Gascoin and other places beyond the seas and of the Isles Tryers of petitions for England c. as above T ryers of petitions for Gascoin c. as above After this the Commons were willed to repair to the Chapter house of the Abbey of Westminster to treat of these matters and how money might be best levied thereto and certain Lords there named were appointed from time to time to confer with the Commons for their better help The Lords and Commons grant to the King towards his great charges Four pence of every poll man or woman passing the age of fourteen years only Beggers excepted The Commons request that the King would appoint two Earls and two Barons to receive as well their Subsidy as the Subsidy of the Clergy and the Subsidy of Woolls granted the last Parliament so as the same be imployed upon the Wars and that the High Treasurer do in no wise meddle therewith Afterwards when it was declared to how great a sum the wages of those four Treasurers would amount unto the Commons then required that the High Treasurer might then be doer therein to the use of the Wars After the two and twentieth of February certain Bishops and Lords the Chancellor Treasurer and Keeper of the Privy Seal and all the Justices by the Kings appointment went to Sheen where the King lay sick and there in their presence the Articles of the Kings general pardon as ensueth were read with other answers made to the Petitions of the Commons as hereafter follow whereunto the King agreeth and willed that they should the next day be read in the House and to make the same the last day of Parliament the which was done the next day being the three and twentieth day of February by authority of the King and of the said President Petitions of the Commons with their Answers The Print touching the Liberties of the Church the great Charter and the Charter of the Forrest cap. 1 2 3. agreeth with the Record in effect but not in form The Print as touching the general Pardon cap. 3. agreeth with the Record Divers Articles of pardon which are comprised in the Pardon aforesaid That all persons and Corporations may have the pardon freely without paying any thing for the Great Seal Such as for Felonies are to sue shall do the same before the Nativity of S.

those times far doth swarve from the guise now which is so far from kissing the Prince as in doing the same they do not so much as see the Prince That no Italian or other Merchant beyond the Streight of Moroccoe bring no other Merchandise within the Realm other than are growing in the same their Countries and that for good reasons in the record The King will be advised That all spiceries sold in any Port within the realm by any Merchants strangers be as clear garbelled as the same is in London upon pain to forfeit the same The King will be advised It is enacted that the fourth part of the Desme and fifteenth shall be payed to the Treasurer of the Kings houshould therewith all to make ready pay for the Kings purveyance And by the same Act it appeareth that the Revennues of the Dutchies of Lancaster and Cornwall should be imployed to the present payment of the kings purveyance for the houshold The print touching Captaiâ—s abating of Souldiers wages cap. 18. agreeth with the record The print touching souldiers going away from their Captains cap. 19. agreeth with the record Of the print cap. 3. for transporting of butter and cheese there is no mention made in the record Anno Decimo Octavo Henrici Sexti HUmfrey Duke of Gloucester Richard Duke of York John Duke of Norfolk Hen.

E. 3. tit 1. and which there cannot be read are contained at large The same Objections laid against the said Earl are to be engraven in the hearts of all Councellors about a Prince For this Earl being condemned of certain points wherefore he deserved commendations for others altogether untrue surmises as the half blind may see and for other some being true yet of no moment may teach Councellors to see themselves and thereby know that their well-doing not being well taken doth purchase death where the Princes wrath supplieth equity The Lords and Judges of the Parliament by the authority of the King for the objections laid against the said Earl adjudged him to be drawn and hanged which was there done with post speed This Bill requireth that the Judgment aforesaid might be revoked for errors in all points of the same viz. for as much as the said Earl was put to death without any accusation or being brought to Judgment or Answer The same Judgment is revoked and the same Roger restored to the blood and to all the Hereditaments of the said Earl The Judgment of the Lords made in 4 E. 3. tit 1. was so strange as they having Conscientias mille testes knew themselves so gauled thereby as in sundry Parliaments after they sought by all means to have an Act that no Peer should be put to death but by open answer by his Peers in full Parliament but long they laboured in vain but at last they obtained as before it doth appear Richard Earl of Arundel by petition sheweth How at the Parliament holden at Candlemas in the 1 E. 3. nothing was done touching the attainder of Edmond the Earl of Arundel his Father albeit he was thereupon put to death he prayeth now that he may be taken as Heir to his Father The Record and Act aforesaid fully agreeth with the recital of the said Earl Upon the view of which Record the said Richard alleadgeth that therein is nothing contained wherefore the said Earl should be put to death without Judgment or due process of Law after which the whole Estates adjudged the said Earl unjustly put to death they undo the said process and restore the said Earl to all benefits of the Law It is enacted by common assent that all the Ordinances made in the last great Councel assembled at Westminster touching the Staple be confirmed to continue for ever Petitions of the Commons with their Answers It is enacted that the Justices of the peace shall be of the best in every County that upon the displacing of any of them others be placed at the nomination of the Knights of the same County that they sit four times at the least every year that none be displaced without the Kings special commandment or testimony of their fellows That the surplusage of the Fines of the Statute of Labourers may be entirely distributed amongst the poor of the whole County and not to poor Towns only It shall be parted among the poor Towns only That the Writ of Estreat may lie in every action where the party shall recover damages of Estreats after the Writ purchased The old Law shall be continued The Print touching the shew of Woolls cap. 14. agreeth with the Record That remedy may be had in such cases where the King receiveth the profits of the Wards Lands as well of Socage as otherwise where no part of the same is holden of him The Law heretofore used shall continue The print that none be out-lawed without due process of Law cap. 3. agreeth with the Record That it may be ordered whether the Tenants of such as hold by Barony and are summoned to the Parliament shall contribute to the Payment of Knights Fees coming to the Parliament As heretofore so the same shall be The present pay be made of all Purveyances being under twenty shillings and of greater within one quarter of a year and that Purveyance be made without malice the print cap. 1 12. agreeth with it It is good to make payment accordingly to the first point and to redress the second That all Sheriffs be charged to make present payment for all purveyances for Callice The demand is reasonable The print touching errors and misprisions in the City of London cap. 10. agreeth with the Record That any one of many attainted upon a Writ of Oyer and Terminer may bring his attaint hanging his suit against the other The Lords will not alter the order of the Law The print touching the confirmation of all Statutes not repealed cap. 1. agreeth with the record That the Lords Marchers of Wales do suffer no distresses to be made on any English man coming into Wales for any other mans debts if he be no debtor trespassor or Surety As heretofore the Law shall be That no Inquest upon Conspiracy Confederacy Maintenance or such like be returned but by the Sheriff of the most lawful men and nighest in that part of the Country where such acts are laid that all evidences therein be given openly
require therein requiring due consideration of the Commons poor estate being sundry wayes greatly impoverished Whereupon was delivered unto them by the Kings great Officers and Councel a Schedule containing divers particular charges amounting to the sum of one hundred and fifty thousand pounds The Commons after came before the Lordsâ— requiring a moderation of the same sum and that it would please them to consult how the same might be levied After long debate betwixt the Lords and Commons for the levying of this sum as by sundry particular devices doth there appear the Commons offered to give an aid so as the Clergy who had the third part of the Realm would thereof pay one third part which was fifty thousand marks and the Commons an hundred thousand marks The Clergy answered That they were not to grant any aid by Parliament but of their free wills and therefore willed the Commons to do their duties and they would do their own Hereupon the Lords and Commons granted to the King of every person being man or woman passing the age of 15 years and being no begger twelve pence to be levied of every person of every parish according to their estate so as the rich doth bear with the poor and that the richest for him and his wife be not set above twenty shillings and the most poor for him and his wife no lesse then one groat They also grant to the King the Subsidies of Wools from the Feast of S. Martin then ensuing unto the Feast of the Nativity of our Lady then following in such wise as was granted in the last Parliament Sir Ralph of Ferriers knight who was arrested by the Duke of Lancaster on the Marches of Scotland for suspition of Treason as adhering unto the French the Kings enemies was brought into the Parliament before the Lords to answer thereto Divers Letters under the hand and seal of Arms of the said Sir Ralph and sent to sundry French Lords as to the Lord de la River the Earl of Longvile the Lord de Clisson the Lord Admiral and others were openly shewed and read in Parliament before the said Sir Ralph The contents of the Letters were humble commends and certification how that he in the behalf of the French had taken league and confirmed alliance with the Scots and to c. made the first payment requiring them to make the second payment occurrences touching the preparation of the English against the French request to remember his Fee and to give credit to the bearers of these Letters who were to say much and also touching the delivery of the Infants of Bois The Letters to the French Admiral willed him about Michaelmas to arrive about London where he should have a fair day to lay up Clerks the bearer of the same Letter for that he had discovered his Councel had it not been for the promise of 2000 Franks The bearers of these Letters and Entents were his said Clark one Iohn Fry and another but the most faithful were Frier William and Cannon who were often Liegers in France The Letter of Frier William to the same Sir Ralph sheweth how he sped well with the whole Councel of France that a way was found for Clark that he would bring the ransoms of the Infants of Boys and his annuity or see of the French The same Sir Ralph being brought into the Parliament by the Marshal of England required Councel which was denied him he then being willed to answer to those Letters beginneth a long circumstance of his acquaintance in France of his service there in King Edward the thirds time at which time he kept holds when others did not how he was Captain of Callis In which times he might have done hurt and did not he therefore alledged the same to prove innocency and the unlikelihood of this Whereupon the said Sir Ralph was remanded to prison and divers of his familiers being called into the Parliament house as the Parson of Brington and others together with the Beggar who first found these letters beside London the whole matter was examined and for that it appeared that certain of the Letters sent by the same Sir Ralph to the parties beyond the Seas were sealed together with other Letters senâ— from thence to the same Sir Ralph also sealed all of one hand and for that also that the seal was larger then the seal of the said Sir Ralph it seemed forged by some of his enemies for his overthrow In the end the same Sir Ralph being once or twice urged to answer whether these Letters were his or no answered That he did not remember that they were his own letters and that he was ready to approve as they should think good before which his last answer he offered the combate with any that would where from he was put And therefore as otherwise the Lords thought the same Sir Ralph to be thereof innocent wherefore he was committed to the custodies of the Earls of Warwick Stafford Salisbury Northumberland to Reynold Grey of Ruthen and the Prior of S. who became pledges body for body for the said Sir Ralph to answer when he should be called between that and the next Parliament and so the said Sir Ralph was set at large the said Letters and his Seal being of silver were delivered into the custody of Sir Iohn Cavendish chief Justice of England The Beggers being thought to be privy to this falsehood was committed to prison the Parson of Brington and other the friends of the same Sir Ralph being delivered Petitions of the Commons with their Answers That the great Charter and Charter of the Forrest and other Statutes of the Realm may be observed The King granteth thereto That the Commission sealed in the last Parliament for the survery of the Kings charges may be proceeded and that the Commissioners may have reasonable Fees allowed them It pleased the King That it would please the King to provide that the Subjects may be eased of their importable Tallages to the wars The King will so do saving his honour and estate

edition of banes in a private Chamber a prophane place and not openly in the face of the Church after the Law of Gods Church but contrary thereunto and the laudable custom of the Church of England and how also at the time of the contract of the same pretended Mariage and before and long time after the said King Edward was and stood maried and troth-plight to one Dame Elinor Butler daughter to the Earl of Shrewsbury with whom the said King Edward had made a Pre-contract of Matrimony long time before he made the said pretended Mariage with the said Elizabeth Gray in manner and form aforesaid Which premisses being true as in very truth they be true it appeareth and followeth evidently that the said King Edward during his life and the said Elizabeth lived together sinfully and damnably in adultery against the Law of God and of his Church and therefore no marvel that the Soveraign Lord and head of the land being of such ungodly disposition and provoking the ire and indignation of our Lord God such heynous mischief and Inconveniences as are above remembred were used and committed in the Realm amongst the Subjects Also it appeareth evidently and followeth that all the issue and children of the said King Edward be Bastards and unable to inherit or claim any thing by inheritance by the Law and custom of England Moreover we consider how that afterwards by the three Estates of this Realm assembled in Parliament holden at Westminster Anno 17. of the reign of the said King Edward the fourth he then being in possession of the Crown and royal Estate by Act made in the same Parliament George Duke of Clarence brother to the King Edward now deceased was convicted and attainted of High Treason as in the said Act is contained more at large because and by reason whereof all the issue of the said George was and is disabled and barred of all right and claim that in any case they might have or challenge by inheritance to the Crown and Dignity royal of this Realm by the antient Laws and Customs of this same Realm Over this we consider that you be the undoubted heir of Richard Duke of York very inheritor of the said Crown and dignity royal and as in right King of England by way of Inheritance And that at this time the premises duely considered there is none other person living but you onely that may claim the said Crowne and Dignity royal by way of Inheritance and how that you be born within this Land by reason whereof as we deem in our minds you be more naturally inclined to the prosperity and common-weal of the same And all the three Estates of the Land have and may have more certain knowledge of your birth and filiation aforesaid We consider also thâ— great Wit Prudence Justice Princely courage and the memorable and laudable acts in divers battels which as we by experience know you heretofore have done for the defence and salvation of this Realmâ— and also the great noblenesse and excellency of your birth and bloud as of him that is descended of the three most royal houses of Christendome that is to say England France and Spain Wherefore these premises duly by us considered we desiring effectually the peace tranquillity and weal publique of this Land and the reduction of the same to the antient honourable estate and prosperity And having in your great prudent Justice Princely courage and excellent vertue singular confidence have chosen in all that in us is and by that our Writing choose you high and mighty Prince our King and Soveraign Lord c. to whom we know of certain it appertaineth of Inheritance so to be chosen And hereupon we humbly desire pray and require your most Noble grace that according to this election of us theâ— Three Estates of your Land as by inheritance you will accept and take upon you the said Crown and royal dignity with all things thereunto annexed and appertaining as to you of right belonging as well by inheritance as by lawfull election and in case you so do we promise to assist and serve your Highnesse as true and faithfull Subjects and Liege-men and to live and dye with you in this matter and in every other just quarrel for certainly we be determined rather to adventure and commit us to the peril of our lives and jeopardy of death than to live in such thraldom and bondage as we have done long time heretofore oppressed and injured by Extortions and new Impositions against the Law of God and Man and the liberties and old policy and Laws of this Land wherein every Englishman is inherited Our Lord God King of all Kings by whose infinite goodnesse and eternal providence all things been principally governed in this world lighten your Soul and grant you grace to do as well in this matter as in all other that which may be according to his will and pleasure and to the common and publique weal of this Land So that after great clouds troubles storms and tempests the Sun of Justice and of Grace may shine upon us to the joy and comfort of all true-hearted English men Albeit that the right title and estate which our Soveraign Lord King Richard the Third hath to and in the Crown and royal dignity of this Realm of England with all things thereunto within the same Realm and without it annexed and appertaining been just and lawfull as grounded upon the Laws of God and Nature and also upon the antient Laws and laudable Customs of this said Realm And also taken and reputed by all such persons as been learned in the abovesaid Lawes and Customs Yet neverthelesse for as much as it is considered that the most part of the people is not sufficiently learned in the abovesaid Laws and Customs whereby the truth and right in this behalf of likelihood may be hid and not clearly known to all the people and thereupon put in doubt and question And over this how that the Court of Parliament is of such authority and the people of this Land of such a nature and disposition as experience teacheth that manifestation and declaration of any truth or right made by the Three estates of this Realm assembled in Parliament and by authority of the same maketh before all other things most faith and certain quieting of mens minds and removeth the occasion of doubts and seditious language Therefore at the request and by the assent of the Three Estates of this Realm that is to say the Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons of this Land assembled in this present Parliament and by authority of the same be it pronounced decreed and declared that our said Soveraign Lord the King was and is the very undoubted King of this Realm of England with all things thereunto within the same Realm and
