and happy Undertaker consulteth with the Parliament in his first year how to cherish his Allies and restrain his Enemies For this there was a select Committee of the Commons appointed to confer with the Lords the matter being entred into scedule touching Ireland Wales Scotland Calis Guyen shipping Guard of the Seas and warry provision to repulse the Enemy In the 2d he openeth to the Parliament his Title to France a Quarrel he would present to death if they allowed and aided death in this Assembly enacted to all that either break the Truce or the King 's safe Conduct The year following Peace being offered by the French King and the King of the Romans armed to effect the work the King refused any conclusion until he had had thereunto the Advice and Assent of his Lords and Commons for which occasion the Chancellor declareth it to that Assembly In the 4th and 5th year no Peace concluded with France he calleth the State together to consult about the War concluding a Treaty of Amity with Sigismond King of the Romans by the allowance of the three Estates and entreth Articles in the Journal Roll. The same year by the Duke of Bedford in the King's absence a Parliament was called to the former purpose as appeareth by the Summons though in the Roll omitted The like in the 7th year The Treaty with France is by the Prelate Nobles and Commons of the Kingdom perused and ratified in the 10th of this King This Son more holy than happy succeeded advised in the 2d year with the Lords and Commons for the well keeping of the Peace with France consulteth with them about the delivery of the Scottish King and the conclusion of it is confirmed by common Assent And in the third year they are called to advise and consent to a new Article in the League with Scotland for Charge of Hostages And in the ninth year conclude by name of certain persons to Treat a Peace with the Dauphin of France The Treaty of Arras whether the Pope had sent as Mediators two Cardinals not succeeding the King in Parliament in anno 1640. sheweth that he must either loose his Title and Kingdom of France or else defend it by Force the best means for prevention whereof he willeth them to advise him He Summoneth again the next year the Council how the Realm might be best Defended and the Sea kept Safe against the Enemies In the 20th the Commons exhibit a Bill for Guard of the Sea a certain number of Ships Assess wages and dispose of Prizes if any Fortune to which the King accordeth And that the Gronowayes may be declared Enemies for Assisting the Turk in the Spoil of the Rhodes Knights and that the Priviledge of the Prince and Hance Towns may be suspended till Composition be made to the English for wronger they have done them To which in part the King accordeth The King by the Chancellor declareth in Parliament that the Marriage with Margaret the King of Sicily's Daughter was Contracted for enducing the Peace made with the French to which the Lords not by their advice effected make Protestation enter it upon the Roll. The King intending to pass in person into France then to Treat of Peace with the King advises with his Lords and Commons in Parliament and Letters of Mart are granted against the Britains for Spoils done to the English Merchants The Lord Hastings and the Abbot of Glocester declared in Parliament the Preparation of the French the Breach by them of the Peace the weak defence of Normandy and expiration shortly of the Truce requiring speedy advice and remedy It was enjoyned the Parliament to provide for the defence of the Sea and Land against the French It was commanded by the King to the States assembled to advise for the well ordering of his House payment of his Souldiers at Calice Guard of the Seas Raising of the Siege at Berwick made by the Scots against the Truce disposing of the 13000 Souldiers Arayed the last Parliament According of differences amongst the Lords restraining Transportation of Gold and Silver and acquiting the Disorders in Wales of all which Committees are appointed to frame Bills Edward the 4th by the Chancellor declareth to the Lords and Commons that having Peace with the Scots entred League with Spain and Denmark Contracted with Burgundy and Brittain for their Aid in Recovery of his Right in France he had now Assembled them to give their Advise and Counsel therein proceeding with a Charge in a second Session again pressed them The like was at another Parliament After this time the Journalls of Parliaments have been either not well preserved or not carefully Entred For I can find of this nature no Record until the first of Hen. the 7th wherein the Commons by Thomas Lovel their Speaker Petitioned the King to take to Wife Elizabeth the Daughter of Edward the 4th to which at their request agreeth The next is the third of Henry the 8th in which from the King the Chancellor delivereth to the three Estates the Cause of their Assembly The first to advise a course for resisting the Invasion of the Scots Next how to acquit the Quarrel between the King and the Castiles and the Duke of Guilders Lastly for resisting the Pope against Lewis of France whose Bull expressing the Injuries done to the See Apostolique was read by the Master of the Rolls in open Parliament The Chancellor Treasurer and other Lords sent down unto the Commons to confer thereof The last in the 32. where the Chancellor remembring the many Troubles the State had undergone in doubtful Titles of Succession declareth that the Convocation had judged void the Marriage with Anne of Cleve yet the King would not proceed without the Counsel of the three Estates The two Archbishops are sent to the Commons with the Sentence Sealed which being read and there discussed they pass a Bill against the Marriage In all these passages of publick Councel wherein I have been much assisted by the painful Labours of Mr. Elsing Clerk of the Parliament I still observe that the Soveraign Lord either in best Advice or most Necessities would entertain the Commons with the weightiest Causes either Forraign or Domestick to adapt and bind them so to readiness of Charge and they as warily avoiding to shun Expence Their Modest answers may be a Rule for ignorant liberty to form their duties and humbly to entertain such weighty Counsels at their Soveraigns pleasure and not out of the wild sin of any Factious Spirits I will only add one Forraign Example to shew what use hath been formerly made of pretended Marriages and of Parliaments to dissolve them their first ends served Maximilian the Emperor and Ferdinand of Spain the one to secure his Possessions in Italy the other to secure the Kingdom of Navar To both which the French King stood in the way projecting a Marriage of Charles the Grand-child with Mary the King of England's Sister It was embraced a Contract per verba de presenti passed and a Book published of the Benefit and Liberty to ensue the Christian World by this Match Upon this ground Ferdinand begins to incite King Henry
