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.

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
