he forgets himself pag. 740. where he saith Peter pence was given Pietatis Religionis Causa for Gods sake and therefore not by way of Homage and Subjection This Gift was continued by Offa. Atulphus Canutus and Edward the Confessor who calls it the * Iamb Appendix Edw. de Rome Seat § 10. Kings Almes William the Conqueror alloweth this gift but renounceth all Obedience to the Pope as appears by Lanfranks Epist d Apud Eadiner p. 113 Pope Pascal 2. in a Letter to Hen. d. calls this Donation Beati Petri Eleemosyna and e Resâ— ab Aâ—…l Bellarning pag. 83 Bishop Andrews tells us that it was an Alms given to a Hospital at Rome where they usul to entertain Pilgrims out of England The Second pretended Title is from King John's Resignation of the Crown to Pandulphus the Popes Legate and receiving it again under Fealty and Homage and at the yearly Tribute of a Thousand Marks Which Title upon several accounts will appear invalid First as to matter of Fact f In Supplicat of Soules Pag. 296. Sir Thomas Moor who could not want all advantages of informing himself in affairs of this nature denies it his words are these Some Writers say that King John made England and Ireland Tributary to the Pope by the grant of a thousand Marks we dare surely say again that this is untrue and that all Rome neither can shew such a grant nor ever could and if they could it were right nought worth For never could any King of England give away the Realm to the Pope or make the land Tributary if he would nor no such money is there paid nor never was These are the words of that great States-man who was no enemy to the Popes Authority But granting there was something done to this purpose in the prese 〈…〉 Peers and without the Consent of Any as Mat. Paris a Monk of Saint Albans who lived at that time acquaints us I shall take my Second Argument to invallidate this Title from the words of Sir Thomas Moor before cited for if they could at Rome shew any such grant yet it were right nought worth for never any King of England could give away the Realm to the Pope nor make the Land Tributary if he would And herein agree the Learned Grotius Bodinus and other Lawyers and the Barons of this Realm were obliged by their Oaths g Lambert Apx. p. 170. lib. 50. de obsequiv erga Regem lege 59 p. 171. Terras honores Regis omni fidelitate ubique servare cum co contra inimicos alicnigenas desendere To preserve together with the King the Territories and Honor of the King and to defend them against their Enemies and Forraigners And herewith agrees the Command which the Conqueror laid upon all the Commons Firmiter pracipimus ut omnes liberi homines totius Regni praedicti sint sratres jurati ad Monarchiam nostram proviribus suis sacultatibus contra inimicos pro posse suo desendendum viriliter servandum i. e. We strictly Charge and Command that all Free-holders in all parts of our Kingdom shall be sworn Brethren Sworn to defend our Monarchy with their Persons and Estates to the utmost of their ability and manfully to preserve it by which it appears that the Commons were as well as the Lords bound to defend their Country against Usurpations and Invasions and we doubt not but the same English courage is to be found amongst their posterity which we find h Coll.

Recorded about the 44. year of Henry the third For when Pope Alexander the Fourth demanded a revocation of Adomar Bishop of Winchester because he was a Church-man as was urged and not subject to lay Censures who had been Banished by the joynt consent of the King Lords and Commons for his intolerable Insolence the Commons gave this resolute answer to the Popes demand Peter de Monford being Prolocutor Si Dominus Rex Regni Majores noc vellent meaning Adomar's revocation fom Banishment COMMUNITAS tamen ipsius ingressum in Angliam jam nullâ—… sustinorat Though the King and Peers of the Realm should declare for his return yet the Commons would by no meanes endure it Lastly no man can confer a greater Right upon another than what is in himself and that King John was an Usurper is evident from all His tories of that Age for Arthur of Brittain his Elder Brothars Son was Thirteen years or Age when John invaded the Throne but tearing that he might not be long quiet in his Possession whilst the Right Heir was alive he Murder'd his Nephew and imprison'd his Neice Elianor who survived him and his doth utterly make void his Right to dispose of what he had not right to keep And of what small account was this pretended Title not only the Resolutions of the Commons afore mentioned but also this Letter Subseribed by all the Peers of England will abundantly manifest THe Reader may please to take notice that the Exemplar whence this was taken is in Corpus Christi Colladge Library in Oxon and Recorded by Mat.
