whereupon the Commons fell upon the memorable Petition of Right and after several of the Members had delivered their Opinions at large concerning some Clauses in it the Lords agreed that without any Addition or Preface it should be presented to the King the Substance whereof was 1. They do pray his most Excellent Majesty That no man hereafter be compelled to make or yield any Gift Loan Benevolence Tax or such like Charge without common consent by Act of Parliament and that none be called to make Answer or to take such Oath or to give Attendance or be confined or otherwise be molested or disquieted concerning the same or for Refusal thereof 2. That no Freeman be taken and imprisoned or be disseised of his Freehold of Liberty or his free Customs or be outlawed or exiled but by the lawful Judgment of his Peers or by the Laws of the Land 2. That your Majesty would be pleased to remove the Souldiers and Marriners now Billeted in several Counties and that your People may not be so burdened for the time to come 4. That the late Commissions for proceeding by Martial Law may be revoked and annulled and that hereafter no Commission of like Nature may Issue forth to any Person or Persons whatsoever to be Executed least by colour of them any of your Majesties Subjects be destroyed or put to death contrary to Law and the Franchises of the Law All which we most humbly pray your most Excellent Majesty as their Rights and Liberties according to the Laws and Statutes of this Realm And that your Majesty would also vouchsafe to declare That all Awards Doings or proceedings to the prejudice of your People shall not be drawn hereafter into consequence and Example After this there came a Letter from the King to the House of Lords wherein among other things His Majesty declared it to be his Royal pleasure which God willing he would ever continue and constantly maintain That neither he nor his Privy Council should or would hereafter command to Prison or otherwise restrain the Persons of any for not lending Money nor for any Cause which in his Conscience did not concern the publick good nor would he be drawn to pretend any cause wherein his judgment was not fully satisfied This Sir Thomas Wentworth afterwards Earl of Strafford said Was a Letter of Grace but that the People were not so satisfied but by a Parliamentary way That the debate would spend much time That it was not directed to the House of Commons and that the Petition it self would rectify all mistakes When the Petition of Right was presented to the King the Answer following was quickly returned The King willeth that Right be done according to the Laws and Customs of the Realm and that the Statutes be put in due Execution that his Subjects may have no cause to complain of any wrong or Oppressions contrary to their just Rights and Liberties to the Preservation Whereof he holds himself in Conscience as well obliged as to that of his Prerogative This Answer being Read in the House of Commons was not judged Satisfactory and therefore upon their Humble Petition for a clear and satisfactory Answer to the Petition of Right His Majesty to shew how free and candid his Concessions were to his Subjects sent them this short but full Answer Soit Droit Lait come il est desire Let it be done according to your desire Which Answer was Received with the general joy and Satisfaction of both Houses and the Citizens made Bonefires and Rung Bells and his Majesty for further Satisfaction was pleased to receive into Favour Abbot Archbishop of Canterbury Bishop Williams and several others His Majesty likewise suffered the Commission of Loan and Excise to be cancelled in his presence so that all discontents of every side seemed to be banished In 1628 the Fourth year of his Majesties Reign the Parliament not being satisfied of their former disappointment about the Duke of Buckingham drew up another Remonstrance against him and likewise against Bishop Neal and Bishop Laud which they presented to the King with the Bill of Subsidies His Majesty telling them That he expected not such a Return for his favourable Answer to the petition of Right and as for the Grievances he would take time to consider of them An Information being likewise Exhibited against the Duke in the Star Chamber for divers Offences and Misdemeanors an Order was made in that Court that all proceedings thereupon should be taken off the File by the Kings express Will and Pleasure And because it had been reported by a Member of Parliament that the Duke should say at his Table Pish it matters not what the Parliament doth for without my leave and Authority they shall not be able to touch the Hair of a Dog The Duke made Protestation in the House of Lords That be never had those words so much as in his Thoughts But the King being resolved to hold up the Duke sent so brisk an Answer to their Remonstrances as provoked the Commons who had soon forgot his Majesties late Act of Grace to question his taking Tunnage and Poundage which being of too valuable consideration to be hazarded his Majesty obviated by Adjourning the Parliament to the 20th of October there being several Acts passed by them One About the Lords day Another To restrain the sending any to be Popishly bread beyond the Seas Another for Confirmation of the Subsidies granted by the Clergie and for the grant of Five Entire Subsidies upon the Temporality and divers more Much about this time Dr. Lamb who was in great Favour with the Duke of Buckingham and had been formerly twice Arraigned once for Necromancy and another time for a Rape was killed by the furious Multitude in Lothbury who hated him both for his own sake and the Dukes he being called the Dukes Devil and though he were guarded by four Constables and their Attendants yet the Rabble struk him down beat out one of his eyes and left him half dead on the Ground from whence he was called to the Poultrey Counter where he died according to his own Prediction the year before being pitied by few and loved of none The Earl of Denbigh having a while since sailed with Fifty Ships to the relief of Rochel was repelled with much loss so that despairing of Success he returned back to Plymouth whereupon another Expedition was resolved on with a more considerable Navy and the Duke of Buckingham was designed Admiral who going to Portsmouth in order to hastning of business one John Felton a Leiutenant stabbed him to the heart with a Knife which the Murtherer flying left sticking in his Body till the Duke himself dragg'd it out and immediately after died Felton was soon apprehended by the Servants and laden with Irons and being asked what inclined him to commit so horrid an Action He boldly answered He killed him for the cause of God and his Countrey He likewise fastned a Paper in the Crown of his
