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.

Prince severally do come yearly and assess Towns severally at Ten Quarters of Oats more or less at their pleasure and the same do cause to be carried away without paying for the same That such Tallages and Purveyance may be taken away The King hath and will forbid it and that no man take contrary to such prohibition saving to him the Queen his Companion and their Children their rightful takings That whereas the four great Rivers of England viz. Thames Tese Ouse and Trent were wont from Antiquity to be open and free for every Ship to pass with Merchandises and now of late daily the said Rivers are stopped and turned aside by Goors Mills Piles and Pales erected by every Lord against his own Land so as Ships cannot pass without danger That Justices may be assigned in every County to enquire of this business and to remove the oppression The King is pleased that such and so many Commissions shall be granted as reasonably shall be needful and that every man shall be heard that will complain for himself and the King That whereas a man is indicted and appealed of Felony and doth render himself at the Exigent although he be afterwards acquitted of the Fâ—lony yet his Chattels are forfeited without enquiry whether he did flie or withdraw himself Forasmuch as a man may be indicted in a forein Country being ignorant of it That therefore no man hereafter lose his Chattels but where it is found by Verdict that he withdrew himself Let the antient Law be kept until the King by advice of his Councel shall otherwise ordain That from henceforth no franchise Royal Land Fee or Advowson which belong or be annexed to the Crown be given or severed from the Crown The King will advise with his Councel that nothing shall be done in such case but to the honour of him and his Realm Whereas the Horses of the King the Queen and the Prince do

may be of all the ill behaviour of those takers before this time and that by Commissions the Plaintiff or parties grieved in this kind as well of wrongs heretofore done or hereafter to be done may be heard and determined The King is pleased that the Ordinances already made shall be kept and that purveyances may be made for his best profit and ease of the people Whereas it hath been ordained That all men may passe freely with their Wools and other Merchandise certain Merchants that have of the King the Custome and Subsidie for a certain sum yearly by colour of a bargain or purchase which they have made of the Kings Wools will suffer no man to passe over Wools but only thâ—ir proper Wools except they pay two Marks for a sack of Wool above the Custom and Subsidy to the great damage of the people and abâ—sement of the price of Wools whereof they desire remedy and that the Merchants may answer in this Parliament for such their out-rage done to the people Let the Merchants be called into the Parliament and Answer The poor Merchants shew That whereas Wools were taken at Dordraghe to the Kings use for which by Parliament allowance was made to the Merchants for their debts out of the Subsidy and Custom granted to the King Viz. twenty shillings for every sack carried over Sea And whereas a great part of the rich Merchants are satisfied of the Subsidie and Custom aforesaid and the poor Merchants yet behind of that which to them belongeth by reason that the rich Merchants have sued to the King that they and no other puissent a chatre les dits debts des poures merchants and to take allowance of the King and pay little to the poor Merchants but at their own will so as the rich Merchants are satisfied and the poor undone That therefore the King will pay them part of their debts or make to them assignment of part thereof and they will lose to the King the other part of their said debt or that the King will make to them such allowance as he made to the rich Merchants The King is pleased that the poor Merchants that are not satisfied shall shew to the Treasurer their Obligations and Patents whereof the Treasurer shall inform the King and he by advice will take Order that gree be made unto them assoon as he well may That whereas Edw. 1. lately granted to the people Purlieu through all the Forrest of England and granted to every man that would his Charter containing the bounds of the Forrests according to such Purlieu And afterward Edw. â— confirmed the same by his Charter which hath so continued untill of late the Kings Ministers have and do daily afforrest that which was dis-afforrested and put into regard that which was out of regard contrary to the Purlieus and the Charters of the said King also that the Ministers do summon mâ—an folk of forrain places to Indict people at their pleasure and make them travell from place to place and threaten them until they make Indictments at their appointment and desire And these Ministers purpose to afforrest Towns neer Forrests where are no wilde Beasts and do often grieve the people by the often coming of Forresters without profit to the King And whereas a Forrest is in divers Counties the Kings Ministers take folk of the one and the other County and by force make men of one County to indict men of another County of matters whereof they are ignorant of which grievances a man can have no Writ nor other remedy in the Chancery whereof they pray remedy The King is pleased That the Charter of the Forrests be kept in all points As touching Purlieus if any man will complain let him shew his grievance and thereupon he shall have a Writ in the Chancery and right shall be done him That Inquiry may be by good men why the King taketh no profit of that which he hath in Ireland Come toutz ses auncestors avoint ad de bien de la come pur maintenance sa guerre Seeing he hath more in Ireland then any of his Ancestors had and if default be found in the Ministers that such other be put in their places which will answer the King of the reasonable profit thereof The King is pleased that it shall be so Whereas many upon an Inquest of Office found for the King are put out of their Lands

Richardi Secundi The Parliament holden at Westminster the day after All Souls in the fifth year of King Richard the Second FOr that this year All Souls fell on Saturday the Parliament was adjourned until Munday ensuing on which Munday the King and many Bishops and Lords came but for that sundry Sheriffs made no return of their Writs the Parliament was adjourned untill Tuesday after on which day the King and Lords and Bishops came into the White Chamber at Westminster and caused the names of the Knights and Burgesses to be called where upon the default of sundry of them the Parliament was therefore adjourned unto Wednesday after On which Wednesday for that great debate rose between the Duke of Lancaster and the Earl of Northumberland so as great force of arms men and Archers armed in warlike manner on both sides came to the Parliament whereof great complaint being made to the King the King with his Councel and Nobles were much busied to appease the same the King therefore adjourned the same Parliament till Saturday after On that same Saturday the King being in Parliament and the Councel being called by their names William Cant. elect and confirmed Chancellor of England began to declare the cause of the Parliament taking for this his Theam Rex convenire fecit consilium whereupon in English he made a good Oration applying it to the good vertuous government of the King and of his reign affirming that no reign could long endure if vice reigned therein the which to redress by this Parliament that could not be by the order of the other Law the King therefore had called the same Receivers of petitions for England Ireland and Scotland Receivers of petitions for Gascoin and other places beyond the Seas and of the Isles Triers of petitions for England c. as above Triers of petitions for Gascoin c. as above The which done the Chancellor declared That on Munday the cause of the Parliament should more especially be declared willing all men therefore to attend The Wednesday after but certainly it should seem to be the Munday the Commons were all called by their names within the Chamber Blank where Sir Hugh Segrave Treasurer of England by the Kings Commandment remembred the Oration of the Archbishop of Canterbury and said that the especiall cause was to maintain the liberties of the Church and to provide for the observation of the peace and namely to punish the horrible tumults and rebellion made against the King in those tumults who was enforced to grant manumissions to the bondmen and others of the Realm as on them having Kingly power under the Great Seal of England The which he knowing to be done against Law willed them to seek remedy accordingly due for the confirmation or revocation thereof In the end he touched the Kings great want whereof certain of the Council should make them privy And so wishing them thereof to have due consideration wished the Commons to depart to their accustomed place within the Abby of Westminster The Monday after in the third day of the Parliament being the eighteenth day of November the Commons came into the Parliament to present Sir Richard Walsgrave knight whom they had chosen their Speaker who excused himself and desired to be discharged of the office whereunto the King on his allegiance willed him to stand being chosen by his companions Thereupon the said Sir Richard maketh the common protestation He then required a more full declaration of the Kings meaning either by a mean rehearsal or by his repetition The King therefore appointed Sir Richard le Scroop knight and created Chancellor to do the same who did so and namely touching the Repeal of the Manumissions made to the Bondmen Whereto all the Commons cryed with one voice that the Appeal was good and lawful adding That such infranchisement could not pass without their consents and so upon the prayer of the Commons the same Repeal was by assent confirmed Certain Bishops Lords and Nobles upon the request of the Commons are appointed to confer with them After this Conference the Commons thought it good that the King would grant a general Pardon to the offenders in these tumults The Commons require That of the particular consultations of the Bishops Lords and Justices a hearing might be brought to them Whereunto was answered that the old custom was that the Commons should bring to the Lords their conceits and devises and not to the contrary The which the King would should be observed The Commons afterwards coming into the Parliament and making their protestation shewed that for want of good redress about the Kings person in his houshold in all his Courts touching Maintainers in every County and Purveyors the Commons were daily pilled and nothing defended against the Enemy and that it would shortly deprive the King and undo the whole State Wherefore in the same Government they intirely require remedy Whereupon the King appointed sundry Bishops Lords and Nobles to sit in Privy Council about these matters Who since that they must begin at the Head and go at the request of the Commons they in the presence of the King charged his Confessor not to come into the Court but upon the four principal Feasts The Devises of the Commons exhibited in a Schedule First that there may be appointed about the Kings person the most sage and approved wise men in the Courtâ— the like Officers for the well governance of both That the most wise and able man in the Realm may be chosen Chancellor and that he seek to redress the enormities of the Chancery That the like order may be of the Treasurer Barons and Officers of the Exchequer That the like be made touching all the Justices of both Benches and that in thâ—s year two Justices two Serjeants and four Apprentices of the Law may be sworne to declare the delay and defects of the Law and that the same may be remedied That upon the accomplishment hereof the Commons may view the names of the persons and see the Ordinances before the confirming of them The provision may be made for observing of the peace and repressing of such tumults as late were
could not of his own accord agree with any Nobleman for his Lievetenant that then the Bishop should take upon him the charge and generall lycense was granted to all men to pass on with the same Bishop except the retinew of the King and other Nobles After this the Commons desired the King to grant audience to the Lord de la War who was lately arrived from Spain and was to declare how the King might come to an honourable peace with Spain the which they much desired whereto was an answer made that the King would advise with his Councell and therein do what should appertain to his honour Anno Septimo Richardi Secundi Rex c.

By the beginning close and subscription of this very Letter printed in the Additamenta of Matthew Paris It begins thus Sanctissimo Patri in Christo Alexandro c.

Paris who placeth this Letter in Anno 1458. or 41 H. 3. whereas Sir Robert Cotton and Rishanger referr it to Anno 1260. or 44 H. 3 Destinantur Nuncii solennes ad Dominum Papam ex parte Regni ET TOTIUS ANGLIAE UNIVERSITATE c.

And his Tale iniit Consilium UNIVERSITAS BARNAGII will undeniably manifest That the Barons and Universality of the Baronage only not the meer Commons of England writ and sent this Letter and were the tota Communitas mentioned and intended in it in whose behalf these 11 Earls and Grandees subscribed and sealed it not the UNIVERSITAS REGNI POPULARIS ETSI NON NOBILES whom Mat. Paris distinguisheth from them by this very expression in the same year and upon the same occasion who Pictavienses obsiderent et Castra eorum funditus dissiparent Wherefore neither the signing nor sealing of this Letter by them Vice totius Communitatis nor this Clause in it Etsi Dominus Rex et Magnates hoc vellent COMMUNITAS tamen ipsius ingressum in Angliam nullatenus sustinerent meant only of the Vulgar Rable or Uiversitas Regni popularis as Mat. Paris stiles them who were much inraged against him being the same in substance with that phrase in King Henry the first his Letter unto Pope Paschal not in but out of Parliament Et si ego quod absit in tanta me dejectione ponâ—rem Optimates vero et TOTUS ANGLIAE POPULUS ID NULLO MODO PATERETUR can be any convincing or probable evidence at all that this Bishop elect of Winchester was then judicially banished by the joint consent of the King Nobles and Commons in Parliament as is suggested he being forced to fly thence through fear of their arms alone not banished by their judicial sentence as they thus expresly inform the Pope in another Letter sent to him with the former to inhibit his return Maxime CUM IPSE A REGNO EXPULSUS NON EXTITERIT SED SPONTE CESSERIT non ausus exhibitionem Iustitiae quae singulis secundum Iuramenta Regis Procerum debebatur expectare Much lesse is it any proof that the Commons in that age had a Voice and consent in Parliament Iudgments of all Natures since they never had it in succeeding ages unlesse it were by way of Bill as the whole Commons House acknowledged in the Parliament of 1 H. 4. n. 79. and I have manifested at large in my Plea for the Lords no more than that they had then a Speaker or House of Commons which is clear by subsequent Parliaments in this Abridgement they had not till many years after 44 H. 3. and after the Parl. of 6 E. 3. 3ly This will most evidently appear by the Barons Letter sent to King Henry the third to Lewes Anno Dom. 1264. the 48 year of his reign from their Camp Barones alii fideles sui c. subscribed only by the Earl of Leicester and Gilbert de Clare ad Petitionem aliorum And by the Letter of Richard King of Romans Prince Edward the Kings eldest son caeterique Barones omnes Milites praedicto Regi Angliae constanter adhaerentes fide sincera opibus sent to the Barons in answer thereunto thus subscribed Rex Alemanniae Edwardus filius Regis nomine suo aliorum Regi adhaerentium Omnes nos contenti sumus praedictorum Dominorum sigillis In both which Letters the two Earls and the King of Romans and Prince Edward joyntly signed and sealed in the Name of all the Barons Knights and others of either party and not one of them as a Proctor or Speaker to the Commons and the other as Proxie to the Barons and Lords both Letters being writ from their Camp not Parliament and neither of them relating to the Commons House or Judicature in Parliament just like this Letter concerning Bishop Adomar Therefore no inference can be thence deduced to prove the Commons had either any House Speaker or Judicature in the Parliaments of 42 or 44 of Henry the third The first expresse writ I find of any Knights of Counties by name summoned to our Parliaments as Members is that of Claus. 49 H. 3. dors 10 11. requiring Sheriffs to summon 2.

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

That the Law of the Land and the Law of Arms do not concur together by certain similitudes he wisheth them of those two Laws to make a Relative so as they may stand with the other Another mischief he noteth to wit Slanderers and sowers of discord between Nobles Gentlemen and Neighbours the which kind of men he resembleth to Dogs that eat raw flesh so applying them to eat and consume living men For all which enormities he wisheth them to seek redress and to be there the next day by eight of the clock to hear further Declarations and the Commons to keep the Chapter house within the great Cloister of the Abby aforesaid Receivers of Petitions for England Ireland Wales and Scotland Receivers of Petitions for Gascoyne and other places beyond the Seas and for the forein Isles Tryers of petitions for England c. as above Tryers of petitions for Gascoin c. as above The Friday after the two and twentieth of October the Lords and Commons assembled in the said great Hall where Sir Richard le Scroop Steward of the Kings Houshold declaring his own unworthiness there to speak shewed them how they were invironed with enemies and the King importably charged for keeping possession beyond the Seas namely that Callis cost him yearly twenty thousand pounds Brest twelve thousand marks besides Ireland Cherburgh Burdeaux and Bayn he sheweth that the old grant of the last Parliament was onely dispended in the Wars as the Officers could declare he wisleth them to consult for the rescue and the mean how to levie the charges After that the Commons came before the King where Sir Iames Pickering knight Speaker of the Parliament for the Commons maketh his Protestation as well for himself as for the whole House And first for the Commons That if he should speak any thing which happily might be ill taken it might be as as nothing so as the Commons at any time might amend the same And so much for himself He therefore rehearseth the whole charge of the Parliament pronoun the Chancellor and to the first points touching the liberties of the Church maintenance of the Laws and observations for the Peace the Commons making low curtesies rendred therefore most humble thanks and pray God for the execution of the same To the aid required for the King he sheweth how in the last Parliament upon the like motion to the Commons repeating the great charges of the King by the Treasurer they then made answer that they saw no such cause of aid whereunto for the King it was then replyed that the Kings Coronation was chargeable and that if the Commons would grant such reasonable aid whereby the King might thereby provide an army that they nothing doubted but that the King of himself might continue the same without charging them of long time upon which promise and hope the Commons did then grant the same large aid and being now unable to do the same require pardon thereof thinking that a great part of the same grant remained yet in the Kings Treasury The said Sir Richard le Scroop not knowing any such promise of discharge made in the last Parliament charging them with unâ—ruth for surmising any rest of the last grant to be And thereto calleth for witness William Walworth and Iohn Philpot Citizens of London and Treasurers appointed and sworn Thereupon the Commons make request to know how and in what manner the same sums were defraied whether some were not therefore indebted and who should be Councellors and great Officers

Wisdome Prowis Manhood and Riches all which they affirme to be in the King and his Nobles as the World knew and that they approved for that the hearts and good wills of the Subjects which the King had was the riches of the King wherefore with certain reasons they perswaded the King not to agree to the Challenges which the French had made to the King and his Nobles which the King promiseth not to attempt without their advices and giveth them thanks for their tender good wills towards them 13 On Monday the last of Ianuary the Commons by mouth require certain Petitions of the King the which the King willeth to put in writing and promiseth answer 14 On Wednesday being the 9 th of February the Bishop of Norwich came to the Parliament whom the King caused to be placed in his accustomed place after which the King spake to Sir Thomas de Erpingham his Vice-Chamberlain then being between the Duke of York and the Earl of Warr. who sat then there in their places and said that he took the accusations of the said Thomas against the said Bishop to be good and to proceed of great zeal born unto him the King notwithstandig considering the order of the said Bishop and that he was of the Kings lineage and further of his better behaviour the King had pardoned the said Bishop all his misprisions done against his person the Bishops all therefore gave thanks to the King in open Parliament to make the said Bishop and the said Sir Thomas to shake hands and to kiss each other in token of amitie 15 The Commons the 21. of February pray the King to execute the ordinance of King Richard the Second upon the Conquest of Wales viz.

At the same time they require the King to commit the charge of the Wool weighing King Richards Inventory of his Goods which the Treasurers had to them delivered to some such persons as might make due enquirie thereof to the discharge of the Commons 21. They also require that all the matters of the same Parliament might be ingrossed before the departure of the Justices It was answered that the Clarke of the Parliament was appointed to do his best indeavour therein 22. They also require two certain Commissions late sent to Cities and Towns for the making of certain Boats and Ballengers being done without assent of Parliament may be repealed It is considered that after Conference with the Lords thereon reasonable answer should be made 23. At the same time the Commons declare that it was not the use that they should grant any Subsidie before they had answer to there Petitions and pray the observation thereof from thenceforth The King therein requireth Conference with the Lords And at the last day of the Parliament it was answered that there was never any such use seen but that the Commons should first make an end of all other things the which order the King meant not to alter 24. The same day the Commons require of the King that Sir William Bagot who was impeached of grievous facts and thereof acquitted might be restored to all his Lands The King answered that as he allowed the pardon of the same Sir William so would he otherwise shew him Justice 25. The print touching express mention in Letters Patents Cap. 2. agreeth with the Record 26. The Commons on Wednesday the second of March do agree to the power
shewed to the Earl of Northumberland and further declared that this third time in worship of the Trinitie the Lords Bishops and they were sworne to be true to the King to the Prince and to his issue and to every one of the Kings sons severally succeeding the Crown of England albeit the same was more then needed for the which the King gave thanks unto them 18. The same day at the request of the Commons the King commanded the Earls of Northumberland and Westmerland in token of perfect amity to kiss each other in open Parliament and to take each other by the hand thrice which they did and so often they kissed each other as they took hands being thrice and promised that their tenants and men should do the like 19.

The Commons rehearsing how King E. 3. in the parliament holden in the eleven of his raign created his eldest son Duke of Cornwall and the same Dukedome annexed to the Crown with divers Hereditaments by his Letters Patents by authority of the same never to be dismembred or sold away they therefore pray the King to resume and sieze and to unite again to the said Dutchy such Lands as were sold away by Prince Edward King Richard or by the King himself The same Petition was answered in effect following It is accorded by the King and Lords that the Prince by the advice of his Councell shall have his scire facias or other his best means of recovery wherein shall be allowed no protection or praying in ayde of the King unless it be for Sir Iohn Cornwall and Elizabeth his wife late wife of Iohn Holland late Earl of Huntington and for such persons to whom the King is bound by warrantie and thereby to render in value all such cases the Prince shall sue to the King 24.

That all French persons Brittains Lombards Italians and Bavarians whatsoever may be removed out of the House of the King and Queen except the Queens Daughters Maria St. Miches Alder and Iohn Purian and their Wives 29 That no VVelchman be about the Kings person 30. All which Articles on Thursday the one and twentieth of February the King by assent of the Lords established in full Parliament gave in full charge to his chief Officers of Houshold there named to put the same in execution who at Supper then following did the same 31. After which for more comfort of the Queen and her Daughters the King by the assent of the Lords established in full Parliament assigned to the Queen besides the persons aforenamed two Knights a Damosell two Chamborers one Mistress two Esquires one Nurse and one Chamborer for the Queens Daughters and a Messenger to go between at certain times 32. The King by his Letters Patents confirmed by Act of Parliament the Commission at large granted that certain Revenues and Custome there expressed and amounting to the sum of 10100 l. should be yearly payd to the Treasurer of his House for the charges of the same his House In which grant amongst other things it appeareth that the profits of the Hamper in the Chancery at this time was onely worth 2000 l. per Annum 33. On Saturday the first day of March the Arch-Bishop of Canterbury declared to all the Lords in the Kings presence that the Kings will was that the Common Laws of the Realm should by no means be delayed that the Lords should take order for the Kings expences of Houshold and that there should be appointed certain Treasurers of the Wars who should imploy what was granted to the VVar onely whereto the King agreed and the Commons also 34. It is enacted that the Prior of Okeborne Proctor of the Abbey of Fishcamp in Normandie and all others Priors Coventuall should remain in England for that they were Catholicks and that all religious persons borne French should depart the Realm and English put in their places 35. The Arch-Bishop of Canterbury declared openly in the Parliament that where there came on his head a Debt in the Exchecquer of 200 l. while Sir Roger Welden was Treasurer of England in the time of King Richard he protested that he owed no such debt and prayed that the same his Protestation might be entred 36. At the request of the Commons it was enacted that if War should happen between the King and the French and the Flemmings that then the Kings Councell should have power to remove the Staple from Callice to what place they thought best and that no Patent should be granted to carry any of the said Marchandâ—ze to any other place Vide post tit 55. 37. The King at the sundry requests of the Councell doth name and appoint as there doth appear certain Bishops Lords and others to be of his great continuall Councell 38. â—or that the Sheriffs of Rutland had returned one William Ondeby for Knight for the same Shire and not Thomas de Thorpe who was chosen he was commanded to amend the same returne by returning Thomas Thorpe and further was committed to the Fleet and to Fine and Ransome at the Kings pâ—easure 39. At the request of
year of King Henry the Sixth AT the beginning of the Parliament before the King sitting in person in the chair of Estate in the painted Chamber there being the Lords and Commons the Bishop of Winchester Chancellor of England declared that the Kings will was that all Estates should enjoy their liberties and for his Theam he took these words Gloria honor pax omni operanti bonum the which he divided into three parts viz. bonum honestum as which consisted in due obeysance of the Subjectâ— bonum delâ—ctabile as which stood in giving good Counsell and bonum utile which was by free and willing sustentation or relieving the Prince and Commonwealth By the first God was most glorified by the second the Prince best honoured by the third the Subjects saâ—ety governed according to the saying of Luke Gloria in excelsis Deo in terra pax hominibus bona voluntas Glory is given to God by due obedience of the Subjects the Prince is honoured by sound Counsell the Subjects governed in peace by relieving the Prince wherein he affirmeth that Princes ought to be obeyed though they were evil according to the saying of Peter obedite praepositis for albeit they were not good yet for that they commanded many good things to be observed they ought to be obeyed and remembreth Sicut Princeps tenetur regere regaliter sic plebs obedire The second division touching sound Counsell he allegeth Sapient 12. Salus ubi multa consilia and therein shewing how the Elephant had three properties the one for that he wanted a gall the second â—or that he was inflexible and could not bow the third for that he was of a most sound and perfect memory the which properties by application he wished to be in all Counsellers First that wanting a gall they should thereby be free from all malice rancor and envy by being inflexible that they should worship no reward nor in Judgement respect any person of a ripe memory that they by remembring perils past might prevent dangers to come The third for relieving the King he proved that the same ought to be done with all readinesse of mind considering that God by the young Prince his chosen vessel had not only governed them in safety but also given to them honourable victories and great conquests all which ought to enforce them more willingly to offer than the same should readily be taken Wherefore he willeth the Commons by their assembling to choose their Speaker and the next day to present him Receivers of petitions for England Ireland Wales and Scotland Receivers of petitions for Gascoyne and other places beyond the seas and of the Isles Tryers of petitions for England c. as above Tryers of petitions for Gascoyne c. as above On Wednesday the second of May the Commons presented before the King and Lords Sr. Tho. Nanton knight to be their Speaker whose excuse being refused he with his protestation was allowed A great debate arose upon the Claim of Iohn Earl Marshall against Richard Earl of Warr touching the higher place in the Parliament house both of which Earles were commanded not to come at the house till the matters were fully heard but that the Councell learned of either of them should be heard what they could say touching the same And for that the Lords should be Judges of the same the Duke of Gloucester being Protector and other the Bishops Lords and others of the lower house swore upon the Gospel that they would uprightly judge the case leaving all affection For the proving of the Earl Marshalls title Roger Hunt of his Councell learned exhibited to the Lords a Pedegree shewing that the said Earl Marshall came of the bloud royall and gave the Armes of England whereby he ought to be preferred Note the said Pedegree proveth the Earl Marshall to come of the bloud royall from E. 1. It farther sheweth the said Earl to be allyed in bloud to the King from Thomas Earl of Lancaster It also affirmeth the said Earl to be allied in bloud to the King by the line of the Earl of Arundell To all this Sr. Walter Beauchamp Knight being of the Councell learned of the Earl of Warr. answereth and by many authorities sheweth that Antiquitie hath had superioritie above the bloud royall and so enforced the title of the Earl of Warr. but chiefly he relyeth upon the possession of the Earl of Warwick Herein is to be noted that the affirmations answers and replications of both parties being very long contain many good reasons and sundry lines of Noble-men very delectable to be read The Councell for both these Earles were instant for Judgement in the end it was devised and the said Earl Marshall for pacifying of the same required that he might be restored to be Duke of Norfolk according to the Creation of Thomas his father as brother and heir to Thomas who died without issue son of the said Thomas his father the which for sundry considerations worthy the sight was granted On Friday the fifteenth day of May the Duke of Gloucester by the Kings Letters Patents there read proroged the Parliament from the same day unto the Thursday then ensuing Iohn Lord Talbot with other Lords there named were bound by recognizance in the Chancery that the said Iohn should keep the peace towards Hugh Wenlockward that he should appear at the next Parliament The Lords of the Parliament by name promised by their faiths to the Bishop of VVinchester that they will not hinder but further such assurance as shall be made to the said Bishop by the King for money to him lent The Commons by the assent of the Bishops and Lords grant to the King the Subsidie of wools for three years and Tonnage and Poundage for one year upon condition that Merchants Aliens should hardly be looked unto Touching the charge of Scotish hostages according to one Article of league it is enacted that the Wardens of the Marches shall not hereafter be impeached for attempting any hostage for the other but that upon their oathes they be discharged And further that they may take two or more hostages for one as of good will and no duty It is enacted that the quarrell and combat betwixt the Duke of Gloucester and Duke of Burgaine do in no case proceed but that the same by the Kings Letters Patents be committed to the old French King the Kings mother and to the regent of France and that the Duke of Burgain do deliver into indifferent hands the person of my Lord of Gloucester It is enacted that the Kings Councell shall have power to make assurances to the Bishop of Winchester and other of the
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
