After which he subjoyns Rot. Parl. 2. H. 5. n. 13. Error assigned that the Lords gave judgement without petition or assent of the Commons when as there is no such Error therein assigned and the judgement there alleged to be erroneous was confirmed by the Lords as you may read in this Abridgement and more fully in my Plea for the Lords To pretermit many more of his Mistakes in his very Chapter of Parliaments which this Abridgement will both discover and rectifie I shall touch but upon one more In his 4. Instit. p. 10. he hath this passage Walsingham saith that in Anno Domini 1404. which was Anno 6 H. 4 in the writs of the Summons of Parliament there was added by the King a Commandement in the Writ THAT NO LAWYER SHOULD BE RETURNED KNIGHT OR BURGESSE But the Historian was deceived FOR THERE IS NO SUCH CLAUSE IN THOSE WRITS but it was wrought by the Kings Letters by pretext of an Ordinance in the Lords House in 46 E. 3. In which passage there are three mistakes together 1. A misrecital of Thomas of Walsinghams words That no Lawyer or Apprentice should be elected Knight of the Shire without any mention of Burgesses Direxit ergo Rex writes he BREVIA Vicecomitibus NE QUOSQUAM PRO COMITATIBUS ELIGERENT QUOVISMODO MILITES QUI IN JURE REGNI VEL DOCTI FUISSENT VEL APPRENTICII Sed tales omnino mitterentur ad hoc negotium quos conslat ignorare cujusque Iuris methodum FACTUMqUE EST ITA Whence he stiles it in his Margin PARLIAMENTUM INDOCTORUM To which he subjoyns in his Ypodigma Neustriae this observation In hoc Parliamento concessa fuit Regi taxa insolita et incolis tricabilis et valde gravis Cujus modum praesentibus inseruissem nisi Concessores ipsi Authores dicti Tallagii in perpetuum latere posteros maluissent Nempe sub ea tantum conditione concedebatur ne traheretur posterius in exemplum nec servarentur ejus evidentâ—ae in the sauraria Regia nec in Scaccario sed Scripturae vel recordationes ejusdem protiÌ„nus post datum compotum cremarentur nec emitterentur Brevia seu Commissiones contra Collectores vel Inquisitores hujus negotii de melius inquirendo A good president for the burning abolishing of all late records of illegal excessive Taxes Excises imposed and levied on the English Nation for so many years together without intermission 2ly A charging of Walsingham who lived in those times and knew them better than Sir Edward Cooke with a direct mistake and untruth That there is no such clause in the writs then issued as he recites when as it is most apparent by the writs themselves remaining on Record in the Tower in the Clause Roll of 5 H. 4. pars 2. m. 4 Dorso which I have perused with mine own eyes for my own and others satisfaction and by diverse Notes and Transcripts thereof which I have seen in Manuscripts that there was this clause inserted into all the writs of Summons then issued to exclude the Sheriffs themselves with all Apprentices and Men of the Law from being elected Knights Citizens or Burgesses Nolumus autem quod tu seu aliquis alius Vicecomes regni nostri aut APPRENTICIUS SIVE ALIQUIS ALIUS HOMO AD LEGEM ALIQUALITER SIT ELECTUS Et habeas ibi nomina praedictorum Militum Civium Burgensium hoc Breve Teste Rege apud Lichefield 25 die Augusti on which day the writs of Summon both to the Archbishops Bishops and Temporal Lords bear date all entred together in the same Roll. I wonder therefore upon what ground or misinformation Sir Edward Cook could so confidently averr the contrary and tax this Historian for a mistake in this wherein he was most right and himself alone so palpably mistaken whose confidence made me of his opinion till I sifted out the truth by a more diligent search of the Record it self not mentioned in this Abridgement 3ly In averring that this was wrought by the Kings Letters by pretext of an Ordinance of the Lords House in 46 E. 3. when that he stiles an Ordinance of that the Lords House was an Ordinance or Act of Parliament Ordinances and Acts of Parliament being both one and the same as â— have elsewhere unanswerably proved againsâ— Sir Edward Cooks new mistaken Doctrine made by the whole Parliament not Lords House alone excluding all Practising Lawyers all Sheriffs from being elected Knights of Shires or receiving wages for their Service in that Parliament for the reasons therein mentioned which Ordinance I shall here insert at large out of the Parliament Roll of 46 E. 3. num 13.

aâ—oresaid made to the King by delivery of a Ring of gold in the name oâ— seisin the which by all the Justices was thought to be good and the Lands to pass thereby Note that the examination was by their Oathes and note that the Justices and other learned of the King avowed such surrender by delivery of a Ring to a common person to be good William Fitzhugâ— Citizen and Goldfiner of London exhibited a Bill in the name of the poor Commonalty of that mystery thereby complaining against Iohn Chichestâ—r and Iohn Bolsham of the same Mystery for divers oppressions by them done to the said Commonalty Whereupon the said Iohn and Iohn came into the Parliament and heard the same and for that â—he said William upon demand refused to avow the same Bill he was committed to the Tower One Roll containing fourteen Articles made between the King and his beloved Brother Iohn Duke of Britany touching the Castle and Signory of Brest in Britany was read before the Lords who agreed to all the Articles saving to the twelfth touching alliance the which Roll remaineth with the Petitions of the Commons Robert Hawley and Iohn Shakell Esqâ— who had the keeping of the Son of the Earl of Doney a Spaniard prisoner taken at the Battel of Naâ—ar to which prisoner other made claim and for that the said Robert and Iohn would not bring forth the said Prisoner being thereunto willed they were both committed to the Tower It is enacted that all Merchants Gascoyne and English might freely transport into Gascoyne and Brest to the Kings friends all manner of Corn and other Victuals and also leather-Gloves Purses and Caps Leather-points Shooing-horns and such other kind of small Merchandizes notwithstanding any Ordinance of the Staple but not elsewhere upon pain of forfeiture therefore look 2 R. 2. tit 54. The Staple of Woolls appointed to be kept at Guensburough is revoked and appointed to be holden at Sandwich William de Weston prisoner brought from the Tower by the Constable of the Tower before the Lords was demanded by Sir Richard le Scroop Knight Steward of the Kings House being thereto appointed by the Lords for surrendring the Castle Outherwick in the time of King E. 3. without Commission where he the said VVilliam took upon him the safe keeping of the same Whereunto the said William made a long Answer and if it were true as it was not disproved very reasonable notwithstanding he was for the same surrender adjudged to death and returned to the Tower again Iohn de Gomeniz was likewise brought from the Tower before the Lords and questioned by the said Sir Richard le Scroop for surrendring of the Town of Ardes in the Kings time where he took upon him the safe keeping of the same of King E. 3. whose excuse therein was disproved whereupon the Lords gave Judgment he should die but for that he was a Gentleman and a Banneret and had otherwise well deserved he should be beheaded and Judgment respited untill the King be thereof informed more fully and so returned to the Tower Dame Alice Perrees was brought before the Lords and by Sir Richard le Scroop Knight aforesaid charged for pursuing of matters contrary to the order taken in 50 E. 3. tit 35. and namely for that she in the time of E. 3. procured Sir Nicholas Dagworth to be called from Ireland whether he was sent and for that she also in the same time procured from the same King restitution for lands and goods to Richard Lyons Merchant of London where the same Lands were given to the Kings own Sons The same Dame denied that she pursued any such things for her singular gain whereupon divers Officers Councellors and Servants to King E. 3. being examined proved that she made such pursuits and in their conceits for her own private gain Then straight Judgment was given by the said Lords against the same Dame that according to the order aforesaid she should be banished and forfeit all her Lands Goods and Tenements whatsoever To say truth of the Devil is counted commendable and therefore certes the Record against the same Dame being very long proveth no such heinous matter against her onely it sheweth that the same Dame was in such credit with E. 3. as she sat at his beds head when all of the Council and of the Privy Chamber stood waiting without doors and that she moved those suits that they dared not and these two suits wherefore she was condemned seemed very honest her mishap was that she was friendly to many but all were not so to her The Record is strange and worthy of sight Petitions of the Commons with their Answers The Print touching the Liberties of the Church the Great Charter and the Charter of the Forrest cap. 1. agreeth with the Record The Print touching the Peace cap. 2. agreeth with the Record The Print touching Purveyors cap. 3. in part agreeth with the Record but not in all An Act agreeing with the first part of 23. tit of this year saving to the King his Regality and that Act made for Councellors in 50 E. 3. shall stand That all kind of gifts made by King E. 3. whatsoever may be exaamined and being worthily bestowed on any person to be confirmed or otherwise revoked The Lords of the continual Council shall examine the deserts of the persons and do thereaftâ—r That none being duly deprived out from the Council in the time of E. 3. be any more restored to be about the Kings person The King granteth thereto The Print touching maintenance cap. 4. agreeth in effect with the Record but not in form And Act that the Chancellor Treasurer Steward of the Kings Houshold and Chamberlain during the Kings minority shall be chosen by the Lords in Parliament saving the inheritance of the Earl of Oxford in the Office of Chamberlain so always as if any of these Officers die between the Parliament that then the King may name them by the advice of the continual Council The Officers appointed for Gascoyne Ireland Artois the Marches of Scotland keepers of the Ports and Castles may be of sufficient inheritance to answer The King will do therein according to the advice of his continual Council An Act whereby the King confirmeth all Liberties granted to any person or Corporation by any of his Progenitors in such wise as they were granted That such may be punished who by their own defaults have lost any Forts Piles or peeces beyond the Seas and that such as out of any Fort took any thing of the Kings may restore the same again The King will provide sufficient remedy therefore That the excess of Servants wages Artâ—ficers Labourers and Victuallers may be extracted into the Exchequer and imployed upon the
next Parliament that all Merchants which shall bring in any cloth of Gold Riverchief Pearls Jewels or Furrs and all Merchants which shall transport Staple wares shall finde Surety to the Tower to the value of twelve pence in Bullion for every twenty shillings of such their Merchandise so brought in or transported That no Knight or Lady under forty pound land by the year do wear any precious Furrs cloth of Gold ribond of Gold or silk on pain to loose all that they have The King will be advised until the next Parliament It is enacted unto the next Parliament that every Goldsmith shall set his mark unto his Vessel which if it be not according to the sterling he shall forfeit it double be imprisoned and sined Certain Petitions of the Major and Aldermen of Callis touching their Liberties with the answers thereunto It is enacted that the Chancellor and Schollers of the University of Cambridge shall for five years in default of the Major and Bailiffs of the same Town of Cambridge have the punishment of all manner of Victuals Measures and Weights within the said Town and also power to punish the Major and Bayliffs and their Officers if there shall be any Victuallers for any such default And it is to be noted that of the printed Statute cap. 3. touching fained gifts and Feoffments to defeat mens Creditors there is no mention made in this Record Anno Secundo Richardi Secundi The Parliament holden at Gloucester the Wednesday next after the Feast of S. Luke the Evangelist in the Second year of King Richard the Second THe same Wednesday being the 20. day October and the first day of the Parliament certain of the Nobles met in a Chamber appointed in the Abby of S. Peters of Gloucester where for that divers of the Lords were not come nor the Sheriffs then returned their Writs the Parliament was adjourned until the next day by the Kings commandment The same Thursday after the King with his three Uncles of Spain Cambridge and Buckingham the two Archbishops and divers other Nobles assembled in the Great Hall of the Abby of Gloucester and there appointed where the L. B. of Davids by the commandment of the King declared the cause of the Parliament as followeth viz. First for the liberties of the Church maintenance of the Laws and observations of the Peace Secondly for that it was enacted that a Parliament should yearly be holden Thirdly for that the King desired to see and to consult with them so honorable an Assembly there gathered in Gods name which he commendeth willing unity and concord among them to be according to the resemblance of the Church Another great cause was for that the King being left in the midst of great Wars could not endure and maintain the same without their Aid He sheweth further that since the great villany and damage done by the Scots at Roxburgh at Truce thereupon taken for a time they the same Scots have allied themselves with the French to the end to depart from the same Truce and by all means to annoy the King and his friends All which to recite and the charges thereof to bear he willeth them deeply to consider One great mischief in the Commonweal he remembreth them viz. 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
and Bailiffs that then were the form whereof doth there also appear The Major and Bailiffs which then were appeared in proper person and pleaded not guilty in writing thereunto the Commonalty by their Attornies appeared at the day The Major and Bailiffs that before were appeared also in proper person and the said Major answered that he was not privie to any such act but only by the compulsion of the other if any thing were therein done the which the learned Councel did disprove The Burgesses of Cambridge delivered into the Parliament the said two deeds sealed by the Chancellor and Schollers That one deed containing a release of all Liberties and Priviledges with a bond of Three thousand pounds to release all such suits against the said Burgesses The other was a Release of all Actions real and personal as there doth appear After the restitution and redelivering of which two Deeds they both were commanded to be cancelled for the causes aforesaid After that the Chancellor and Scholars aforesaid by way of Petition and in form of sundry Articles exhibited shewed the beginning and whole discourse of the Mayor and Bailiffs doings largely there contained Upon reading of which Bill it was demanded of the said Burgesses what they could say wherefore their Liberties late by the King confirmed should not be seised into the Kings hands as forfeited They require a Copy of the Bill Council and respite to answer To the Copy of the Bill it was answered That since they heard the same it should suffice for by Law they ought to have no Copy To Council it was said That wherein Council was to be had it should Wherefore they then were pointed to answer to no crime or offence but only touching their Liberties After many dilatory shifts the said Burgesses touching their Liberties only in the end submitted themselves to the Kings mercy and grace saving their answers to all other matters The King thereupon by common consent of Parliament seised the said Liberties into his hands as forfeited And after granted to the Chancellor and Scholars aforesaid within the aforesaid Town of Cambridge and suburbs of the same the affise cognisance and correction of Bread all Weights Measures Regrators and Forestallers with the Fines and Amerciaments of the same yielding therefore yearly at the Exchequer Ten pounds Vide R. 2. tit 11.

AN EXACT ABRIDGEMENT OF THE RECORDS IN THE TOWER of LONDON From the reign of King Edward the Second unto King Richard the Third of all the Parliaments holden in each Kings reign and the several Acts in every Parliament Together with the Names and Titles of all the Dukes Marquesses Earls Viscounts and Barons summoned to every of the said Parliaments COLLECTED By Sir ROBERT COTTON Knight and Baronet Revised rectified in sundry mistakes and supplied with a Preface Marginal Notes Several Omissions and Exact Tables both of the Special Matters Great Officers Speakers Nobles and other Persons therein conteined By WILLIAM PRYNNE Esquire a Bencher of Lincolns Inne LONDON Printed for William Leake Stationer at the Crown in Fleetstreet between the two Temple Gates 1657. The Preface to the Reader COURTEOUS READER HAving already published to the World a Chronological Epitome or Summary Collection of all the extant Parliamentary Councils Synods and publike State-Assemblies held within the Realm of Great Britain upon several Occasions from the Britons first arival in it under King Brute as our old Historians generally assert till the Coronation of King William the Norman Anno Dom. 1066. conteining the space of 2390 years or thereabouts after the computation of the Chronicle of Bromton and others And having likewise an intention if God shall vouchsafe me life health liberty opportunity and encouragements to collect and publish an Exact Chronological History of all the Great Councils Synods Parliaments State Assemblies and the several Consultations Debates Acts Edicts Laws Statutes Ordinances Iudgements Petitions Proceedings in them and Writs of Summons to them extant either in Histories or Records all other usefull Records from the crowning of K. William the first Anno 1066. till the end of the reign of K. Charls 1648. A most necessary profitable useful Work never yet undertaken by any to my knowledge tending much to the Honour of our English Nation the Dignity of our Parliaments and Great Councils the advancement of our Laws and Learning the information instruction of the present times and future ages in our Parliamentary and State affairs of greatest concernment the enabling Members of Parliament both to know discharge their Duties and maintain their antient Privileges Jurisdictions better than in former times the preservation of our usefullest Parliamentary Rolls Journals and other Records from Suppression Embezlement Oblivion to rectifie sundry Gross mistakes both in our printed Statutes Law-books and Vulgar Historians The compleating of which vast undertaking requiring more toylsom Study Cost expence and time than yet I can bestow thereon I thereupon apprehended that I could not in the Interim perform a more profitable Service to my Country conducing towards the furtherance of that great Undertaking than at the earnest importunity of the Stationer and some special Friends to contribute my best directions assistance towards the printing and publishing of this Exact Abridgement of the Parliamentary Records in the Tower of London from the reign of King Edward 2. unto King Richard the 3. collected as is generally voiced believed by that most eminent industrious Collector of our best rarest English Antiquities Manuscripts Leger-books Records of all sorts Sir ROBERT COTTON whose famous Name and Memory alone are sufficient to adde more praise and lustre to this Abridgement than any Panegyrical Epistle I am able to prefix thereto This Exact Abridgement being licensed for the Press before the Stationer brought it me to peruse I thereupon diligently read over the Copy belonging formerly to a person of quality curiously bound up gilt and written in a very fair hand wherein I corrected several verbal mistakes of the Clerk in the Transcribing and comparing it with another Transcript of mine own supplyed some blank spaces in it together with the Abridgements of the whole Parliaments of 21 E. 3. 4. 16. Rich. 2. the explanation of the Charter of the Stanneries in the Parliament of 50 E. 3. the Abridgment of the beginning of the 1. Parliament of 5 R. 2. to numb 14. with the end of 15 R. 2. n. 36. c. wholly omitted in the Stationers Copy without any alteration except in the Clerks misprisions in or addition to the Text it self to avoid the Censure of being an over-officious Critick in another deceased honourable persons Posthumus Work After which perusal of the Copy finding neither Notes of direction in the Margin nor Tables in the end of this Abridgement to direct the Reader readily to finde out the principal things or Names of persons therein comprised I thereupon supplyed these defects with such Marginal Notes and Tables thereto annexed as might render it most usefull to the Buyers comprizing the Principal matters therein contained together with the Names of the Nobles and other persons mentioned therein in Alphabetical Tables with the names of the Admirals Chancellors Constables Marshals Iudges Protectors Privy Seals Speakers of Parliament Stewards of the Kings House and other Great Officers mentioned in it in a Chronological Order with the years Sections Pages wherein they are recorded Which additional Supplements will render it much more usefull and beneficial to the Reader upon all occasions than it would have been without them The Subject matter of this Exact Abridgement consisting wholly of Records or Rolls of Parliament and the principal matters of greatest publike and private concernment in Peace or War debated adjudged transacted in this supremest Court of the Realm both for Iudicature Consultation with the Names of all the Nobility summoned to or created in our Parliaments never formerly published in print and generally unknown to most Judges Lawyers Historians Gentlemen Bookmen of all Professions will sufficiently blazon and proclaim its Eminency Utility Excellency Complacency and Desirableness to every intelligent Reader beyond all other late publications and uncertain Reports of private Persons or Cases lately published or any Histories yet set forth without any other Proemial Encomiums yea the manifold discoveries it makes of the Variances of sundry printed Statutes from the Parliament Records both in form and substance and of divers bastard Statutes put in print never extant on Record which Sir Edward Cook hath gleaned out of this Abridgement and inserted into his 4 Institutes p. 50 51 52. though he there assumes the first discovery and honor of it to himself alone will undeniably demonstrate how worthy it is the most serious perusal of the greatest as well as meanest Professors of the Law who commonly take all printed Statutes and Reverend Sir Edward Cooks oft mistaken Records for undoubted Oracles without comparing them with the original Records themselves out of over-much laziness or credulity If any supercilious persons shall disdain or slight it because it is but an Abridgement and so not comparable to the Records themselves at large or object out of Sir Edward Cooks Reports and Institutes who oft forgot this lesson himself inculcates Satius et tutius est petere fontes quam sectari rivulos I answer That though
the Numbers Titles in this Abridgement many times to exceed the Numbers Titles and Membranaes in the Rolls themselves and some times to differ from them in the number 2ly I shall desire him to take Notice for his better information touching Parliamentary records That the Writs of Summons to our Parliaments for the Nobility Clergy Knights Citizens Burgesses with the Writs for Knights and Burgesses wages are not extant in the Parliament or Statute-Rolls but for the most part they are entred in the Dorse of the Clause Rolls sometimes though rarely on the Dorse of the Patent Rolls kept in the Tower of London where all who please may peruse them at their leisure they sometimes differing one from another in form as well as in the names of the persons summoned and sometimes in material Clauses though Sir Edward Cook asserts the contrary as is most evident by the writs of Rot.

E. 3. none of which are here Abridged Only I find in the Clause Patent Charter and Fine Rolls of King John Henry 3 Edward 1 and 2. some writs of Summons and some mâ—morials of Acts Ordinances made and Aydes Subsidies Disms Quindisms Customs granted in Parliaments held during their reigns the Rolls whereof are perished and quite lost either through the Negligence of the Record-keepers or the Injury Iniquity of the times during the Civil wars between the King and Barons in the reigns of King Iohn and Henry the 3. and betwixt the two houses of Lancaster and York for the Title to the Crown wherein it is very probable the prevaâ—â—ing Kings parties by their instruments embezelled suppressed such Parliamentary Records and Proceedings as made most against their Interests Power Prerogatives Titles or through the Default of our Kings Great Officers and Atturneys who sending for the Parliament Rolls out of the Tower upon special occasions never returned them again for reasons best known to themselves By means whereof these Parliament Rolls being no where to bee found their defects must be supplyed only out of such Fragments and Memorials of them as are extant in our other Records and antient Historians especially in Matthew Paris Matthew Westminster William of Malmsbury Henry Archdeacon of Huntingdon Roger de Hoveden Simeon Dunelmensis the Chronicle of Bromton Radulphus de Diceto Ranulphus Cistrensis and Thomas of Walsingham who give us some account of their Proceedings and Transactions which else had been utterly buried in oblivion as well as their Rolls wherâ—n they were at large recorded as is evident by the Parliament Rolls yet extant exactly relating all the Parl. Acts Judgments Proceedings as you may discern by this Abridgement But more clearly by the Rolls at large made up and engrossed by the Clerk of the Parliament with the assistance or supervising of the Lords Iudges and Commons too when there was occasion 4ly I shall recommend unto you these generall Observations touching our Parliaments and their proceedings in former ages which I shall desire the Readers more carefully to observe in their perusal of this Abridgement for their better satisfaction 1. That it was the Common Custom in former ages the first day of every Parliament by special Proclamation to inhibit the wearing of any Arms or weapons under severe penalties within such Cities and places where the Parliament sate to prevent all disturbances quarrels intimidations over-awings of the Members by Fear or Force A practice now fit to be revived after so many late armed Guards Forces not only over-awing disturbing enforcing but dissolving Parliaments and secluding securing their Members at their pleasure 2. That our Parliaments were alwayes usually adjourned and put off till some further day when any considerable Number of the Lords or Commons were absent or not come appearing at the first day of Summons and the Declaration of the Causes of summoning the Parliament adjourned till all the Members were come and the Parliaments full 3. That the Lords some times and the Commons were all frequently called by Name the first day of the Parliaments sitting and all of them admitted yea commanded to sit in and attend the Parliament and such as were absent without just cause both blamed and fined 4. That in all former ages no Acts were made Judgements pronounc'd Ayds or Subsidies granted nor ought else debated or conlcuded but only in full Parliament when all or most of the Members were personally present and none forcibly secluded or suspended but only by senâ—ence of the Houses themselves See the Table Full Parliament 5. That No Members of Parliament could be arrested imprisoned or taken in execution for Debt or any other occasion sitting the Parliament but only for Treason Felony or Breach of the Peace and if any were arrested or taken in execution against their privileges they were upon complaint released to attend the publike service of their Country in Parliament 6. That our Kings themselves did usually by their Chancellors or Chief Justices when they declared the Causes of summoning every Parliament to the 3. Estates most commonly grant and declare of their own accords That all Estates should enjoy their Privileges belonging to them as Members and likewise That the Church with all Corporations and other persons whatsoever should enjoy their antient Liberties Rights Customs and Franchises which was one chief end of summoning Parliaments and the Great Charter of their Liberties of the Forest and all other good Laws and Statutes due observation and to have the violations of them redressed punished 7. That Matters of Warr Peace Leagues Defence against Enemies both by Land and Sea were constantly propounded to debated consulted concluded of in and by our Parliaments yea one chief cause of their Convention and not ordered
to Paâ—liament being conceived by some upon good grounds not to be a direct summons of any Commoners or Knights of Shirâ—s to Parliament as Members but in another kinde when as we find VVrits of Summons to Parliament directed to Bishops and the Temporal Lords and Barons before 49 H. 3. without any such VVrits for â—nâ—ghts or Burgesses In what place the Commons usually assembled at first is uncertain but most likely it was in the Chapter House of of the Abbot of Westminster as is clear by 50 E. 3. n. 8. and other records How unable and unwilling the Commons were at first of themselves to advise in maâ—ters of Peace or Warr referring themselves usually herein to the King and Lords alone and desiring a special Committee of Lords to advise and direct them in most things else and how they got a Speaker and House of their own at last in the dotage of King Edward the 3. and nonage of Richaâ—d the 2. and then proceeded by degrees to meddle with the greatest affairs of the State Court and Crown being set on by some ambitious Lords to promote their designes thereby you may observe throughout this Abridgement of which the Table will render you a more particular account What use the Lords made of the Commons and their Speakers to curb the King and his greatest Officers Minions Favourites you may here read at large in the Parliaments of 50 E. 3. of 1 3 5 7 10 11 R. 2. 1 H. 4.28 33 38 39 H. 6. And how King Rich. 2. made use of them to suppresse his Domineering Lords and King Edward the 4. used them as his Instruments to curb suppress both King Hen. the 6. and the Lords that were opposite to him you may observe in the Parliaments of 21 R. 2 33 39 H. 6. 1 Ed. 4. especially n. 38 39. in his Speech there made unto the Commons By whose assistance he was restored to the Crown and soon after to all the Lands and Revenues alienated from it by Acts of Resumption Whereupon he promised the Commons in Parliament with his own mouth To live of his own without charging them and left off all gathering of money and Impositions on them as the only thing which withdraws the hearts of the English from their Prince receiving onely Tonnage and Poundage and but some 3. or 4. Disms and Quindisms of small value which they freely granted him towards his wars during all his 23 years reign A president worthy present and future imitation for the oppressed peoples ease especially after so many yeares uncessant heavy Taxes of all sorts extorted from them rather for private ends than the publike Interest and Welfare of the Kingdom What other particulars of Note touching the Commons Lords or Parliament affairs occurr in this Abridgement the Table will more punctually inform the Reader I shall only further observe that in all the Parliaments of King Ed. 3. R. 2. H. 4 5 6. Ed. 4 and R. 3. here abridged the Commons House never claimed nor exercised any such Jurisdiction as hath been usurped by it of late years in some particulars of moment 1. They never presumed nor pretended to make print or publish any Act Ordinance Order whatsoever relating to the people Kingdom or own Members without the Kings and Lords precedent approbation and concurrence 2. They never attempted to impose any Tax Tallage Charge Impost Excise or Duty whatsoever on the people without the Lords and Kings assent 3. They never adventured to appoint any special Committees or Sub Committees to hear examine determine any particular businesse or complaint before without any Report thereof to the whole House of Commons nor without the privity and assent of the House of Lords by way of transmission or impeachment to their Superiour Authority and Judicature An intollerable Grievance of puny times 4. They never attached fined imprisoned or censured any Person by their own authority without the Lords as they have done hundreds of late years 5. They never presumed to seclude or secure any of their own Members nor yet finally to judge of the Legality or Illegality of their Elections nor of the breach of their Privileges by imprisonment or otherwise of which the King and Lords were antiently sole Iudges as is evident by 16 R. 2. n. 6. 12 R. 2. n. 23. 1 H. 4. n. 79. 4 H. 4. n. 19 20. 5 H. 4. n. 71.78 c. 5. 8 H. 4. 13. Brook Parl. 11. 8 H. 6. n. 57. 23 H. 6. n. 41. 31 H. 6. n. 36 27 28. 14 E. 4. n. 55. 17 E. 4. n. 36. with other Presidents cited in my Plea for the Lords 6. They were always Petitioners to the King Lords for publike Laws Grievances and private Persons but very seldom petitioned unto upon any occasion as you may observe throughout this Abridgment some of the first Petitions to them being those of the Upholsters and Merchant Adventurers of London whereon Acts were made mentioned in the printed Statutes of 11 H. 7. c. 19. 12 H. 7. â— 6. since the Parliaments here abbreviated 7. Though they had the free Election of their Speakers granted them yet they alwayes of course presented their Speakers to the King and Lords at their appointed time who had power to allow of them and their excuses or to disallow and discharge them when elected yea to enjoyn them to elect present another Speaker when the former through sicknes imprisonment or other impediment was disabled or discharged as is evident by 1 H. 4. n. 62 63 64 1 H. 5. n. 9 10 11.15 H. 6. n. 10.27 28 H. 6. n. 6 7. 32 H. 6. n. 6.25 26 27 28 29. and Cookes 4 Instit. p. 8. 8. They alwayes stood bare-headed when they repaired to the Lords House upon the first day of the Parliament Conferences Passing of Bils Messages or any other Occasions when as the Lords sate covered 8 R. 2. n. 2. which custome continued so long as the Lords House sate even till 1648. 9. They never did nor could of right administer an Oath to Witnesses or others examined by the whole House or Committees as the Lords House usually did 7 R. 2. n. 14. Plac. Coron 1 H. 4. n. 10. They had no Vote Iudicature in Writs of Error brought in Parliam returnable only before and tryed in and by the Lords House alone nor yet in Criminall Causes upon Impeachments wherein the Lords alone were Iudges in cases both of Peers and Commoners as I have proved at large in my Plea for the Lords Which the Commons themselves acknowledged 1 H. 7. n. 79. and you may here observe throughout this Abridgement To close up this Preface I dare affirm that the several Treatises of our English Parliaments formerly published by Sir Tho. Smith Iohn Vowel Hotinshed Statham Fitzherbert Brook Mr. Richard Crompton Mr Cambden Doctor Cowel Minshew and Sir Edward Cook with
Parliament before his Peers The King made answer That he would attend to the common affairs and after hear others The Articles of the Commons First That the great Charter may in all points be observed so as such persons as are neither appealed indicted or followed at the suit of the party and yet have their goods and lands and possessions taken from them may be restored thereto again That the Chancellor and other Officers there named shall upon their entries into their offices be always sworn to observe the Laws of the Land and points of the great Charter That every man for debts due to the Kings Ancestors may have therefore Charters of pardon of course out of the Chancery That certain by Commission may hear the accounts of all such as received wooll aid or other money for the King and that the same may be enrolled in the Chancery That the Ordinances made at Northampton That men of evâ—l life and name should be attached whereby sundry honest men by colour thereof have been arrested may be repealed That many Commissions whereby sundry men have been fined by the Commissioners outragiously may be revoked and new granted to others That the Chancellor and all other Officers there named may be chosen in open Parliament they also there openly sworne to observe all Laws as aforesaid And the meaning of the Lords and Commons by one assent is That all things in the Statute wherein the Ninths are granted should be kept otherwise they think themselves not bound to pay any where if the King should grant those things in the Petitions they will then make him reasonable answer They also pray that till the Wednesday then ensuing their Articles may be committed to certain Bishops Earls Barons and other wise men there named by them to be amended the which the King granted The Articles of the Clergy The same day the Archbishop of Canterbury and other Bishops exhibited to the King certain Petitions viz. First they shew how sundry Clerks were imprisoned by the Kings Officers without due Process That the liberties of the Church and all liberties granted to any estate may be kept and that the Great Charter may be newly proclaimed and by oath confirmed That such Clerks and Lay-men as are imprisoned against the order of the Great Charter may be delivered That the Justices upon the Sheriffs return that a Clerk hath no Lay-fee awardeth a Capias without any Writ to the Bishop and so upon a Condemnation against a Clerk causeth the same to be levied without any Writ to the Bishop against the priviledge of the Church That sundry of the Kings Officers and others have entred into divers Religious houses and Parsonages and by force taken away their goods and further upon oaths extorted upon those persons have enquired of things within their houses and them so found have carried away That the Justices have punished Usurers and impeached the Officers of the Church for taking money for Corporal pain Probate of Wâ—lls solemnizing of Marriage That the Kings Officers have levied of Parsons of the Churches the Ninth of their Corn Wooll and Lamb where they ought to pay their Tenths Touching the Petitions of the Clergy the Kings Answer was openly read in the Parliament the which because the Clergy liked not they desired a Copy of the same to deliberate thereupon which was granted In the end the Answer was as followeth The Answer to the Clergy The Kings meaning is not that any Clerk should be attached against Law To the second He would the observation of the Great Charter and other Liberties which being exemplified under the Great Seal he thinketh may suffice and that there needeth no other swearing thereto considering that within the Realm there are already too many forsworne To the third He is ready to hear if any be imprisoned against the Law or Statute of Northampton To the fourth The Process and order therein are avowable by Law and neither would the King that any man should enter into the Churches Fee against their liberties The King would not that any of his Officers should enter into any of the Kings Churches lands or to take any their goods but if Lay-men to defraud the King do bring their goods thither the King thinketh himself to be wronged To the seventh The King will have the punishment of dead Usurers and the Ordinaries of living Usurers And touching money for pains pecuniary Probate of Wills solemnity of Marriage and such like the King would not his Officers to have any Cognisance To the eighth He would not the Ninths or Tenths to be paid otherwise then the same was granted viz. of such as hold by a Barony or use to be summoned to the Parliament But if any of the Church have appropriated any possessions heretofore not taxed that then they pay the Ninth by the equity of the Statute The Saturday after the King answered the Demands of the Lords in manner following The King granteth for him and his heirs That if any person commit any act against the form of the Great Charter or any other good Law that he shall answer in Parliament or else where he ought to answer according to the Law And to the Commons Petitions an Answer was made as followeth To the first He will as in the Answer to the Lords To the second for the Oath of his Officers He would the same To the third for pardoning of Debts He granteth To the fourth he granteth so as the Treasurer and Chief Baron may be adjoined To the fifth He revoketh the Statute made at Northampton To the sixth the King willeth the same be done in the presence of him of the Lords and certain of the Commons To the seventh The King liketh that if any such Officer dyeth or otherwise shall fall void that in the choice of a new Officer he shall have the assent of the Nobles and that such Officer shall be sworne at the next Parliament according to the Petition And at every Parliament the King shall reassume into his hands all such Offices so as the said Officers shall answer unto all objections Hereupon at the request of the whole Estate these Articles were Statutes as on the back of the Roll doth appear the which Statutes with the conditions were after read before the King the Chancellor Treasurer Justices of both Benches Steward of the Kings Chamber and others all who were sworn upon the Crosse of Canterbury to perform the same only the Chancellor Treasurer and certain of the Justices refused the same Oath as repugnant to their former Oath and Laws of the Realm The which Statutes and Conditions together with the Commissions for the enquiry of oppressions were exemplified

The King will foresee the defence aforesaid That strangers enemies of the Realm and remaining now in Newgate may be judged during the Parliament They shall remain there till further order That no Charter of Pardon may be granted since the Kings last passage Advice shall be taken It is enacted That Lumbards and other Merchants shall receive gold for their ware without any other compact or pain of Fine or imprisonment That all Alien Monks do avoid the Realm by Michaelmas and that their livings be disposed to yong English Schollars The persons being spiritual cannot be tryed by Parliament their livings being in the Kings hands and without him cannot be disposed That the King may take the profits of all other strangers livings as Cardinals and others during their lives The King taketh the profits and the Councel hath sent their Petition to the King That such Aliens enemies as be advanced to livings they being in their own Countries Shoomakers Taylors or Chamberlains to Cardinals may depart before Michaelmas and their livings disposed to poor English Schollers As Tit. 3.

That whereas recovery is had in Wapentakes Hundreds Court Barons in debts covenant and other actions there pleadable the Bailiffs of those Courts do fount distress de Chatull de viss in lien of Execution according to the usage of the County which so remain oft-times very long before greement be made with the Plaintiff that if gree ' be not made with the plaintiff within fifteen dayes after judgement the Bailiffs of such Courts by the Oath of three or four des mientz homes de la ville ou lezecution serra in the presence of the plaintiff shall apprize the goods so taken by force of the judgement to the very value and sell them and if they cannot find such as will buy then to deliver the same to the Recoverer at that value Let the ancient Law be held untill it please the King by his Councel otherwise to ordain That whereas it was lately ordained and assented by the King and his Councel that the men and horses of the Kings houshold should not be harbinged in any part of the County but by Bill of the Marshal of the house and that they should deliver those Bills to the Constables of Towns and should be harblnged by them and that the Constables should cause them to have such sustenance for themselves and their horses as shall be meet and should cause their victuals to be prised by men of the same Towns sworne and that they before their departure thence should pay the parties of whom their victuals were taken And also it was assented that the horses and harness might be arrested untill they did pay for their victuals But now they go from Town to Town and harbinge themselves without any Constable and take mens goods without payment or apprising And if perhaps they bring Bills to the Constable therein is no mention made for how many horses or for how long So as they charge the Country at their own pleasure and depart without making paiment That in every Bill mention be made for how many horses Livery shall be made and that no horse have more then one Garson The Bill to be delivered to the Constable and he to make the price by men sworne of the Town so as the parties make paiment from day to day for such victuals according to the price without other delays according to the Statute The King is pleased that this Article and every point in it comprised be kept in all points according to the form of the Statute That Writs of Attaint be granted in Writs of Debt and in all other Writs and Bills where the Demands or the Damages do amount unto Forty shillings as well in Enquest past as to pass The antient Laws shall remain until the King be better advised Whereas divers Ministers of the King and others do sue tam pro Domino Rege quam pro seipsis whereas the whole Principal and Damages recovered doth go to themselves and not to the King in which case a man cannot have an Attaint or a Writ of Error That in such case Writs of Attaint may be granted as well for Enquests past and Judgments given as for Enquests to pass and Judgment to be given Touching Writs of Error let them be granted And as for Writs of Attaint the same was never ordained That a Writ of Scire facias may lie in case of garnishment which issueth out of a Judgment or of a Recognisance as well of debt as of damages as in case touching Land and in every other case where garnishment lieth where the thing whereof Execution is demanded amounteth to Forty shillings as well of Execution awarded as to be awarded Let the antient Law be kept until the King shall be pleased otherwise to ordain That Judgments given in the Exchequer may be redressed and reversed if therein be Error in the Kings Bench as well as Error given in the Common-Pleas and not before themselves that gave the same for it is not likely that a man will have a good conceit against his own opinion The King is pleased that when any man complaineth of Error given in the Exchequer the Chancellor and Treasurer and two Justices shall be assigned by Commission to cause the Record to be brought before them in the Exchequer and the Process of the Plea wherein Error is supposed and the same to correct as shall appertain The Merchants of Cities and Boroughs and the Commonalty of the Land shew that the Merchants are disturbed to buy and sell the Commodities of the Land as Tin of Cornwall may now be bought by no Merchant but by one stranger Tidman of Limberghe who buyeth all and sendeth over the Sea And pray that no such Merchandise be sold in gross but to the Commonalty of Merchants That is a profit belonging to the Prince and every Lord may make his profit of his own That no person by the voluntary suggestion or Certificate of an Accuser be by Writ sent for to come before the Kings Council where they are often inforced to make Fines or to lay down great sums of money or otherwise adjournez outre le meer as hath been heretofore often done but that such grievances be not afterward done The King is pleased that hereafter such things be not done against reason That all men may freely pass Wooll over the Seas at their pleasure paying the antient Custom of half a mark which thing was ordained by the Kings Charter That Subsidy was granted for a time yet enduring within which time the King will advise with his Council what shall be best to be done therein for the good of the people That the Statute whereby it is ordained that Sheriffs and Escheators shall be sufficient persons within the County and they not to remain longer then one year may be kept The King is pleased that the Statute shall be kept but when a good Sheriff is found his Commission shall be renewed and he newly sworne That the new Custom lately set viz. upon every Cloth carried forth by English Merchants 14 d. and by strangers 21 d. and upon every Worsted cloth 1 d. and of strangers 1 d. ob and of every Lit. 10 d. and of strangers 15 d. may be taken away The King Prelates Counts autres Grantz will that this Custom shall stand for it is good reason that such a profit be taken of Clothes wrought within the Realm and carried forth as of Wools out of the Land rateable the Cloth as the Sack That the Statute of Winchester and other Statutes made by the King and his Progenitors be kept and that the people be not grieved contrary to these Statutes The King is pleased that the Statute of Winchester and the other be kept Whereas the Aviners of the King Queen and
in the Common Pleas may pass under the Seal of the Chief Justice as in cases of Eyer so as the charges of the Great Seal may cease The motion seemeth unreasonable That no pardon be granted to any Murtherer or Felon but where the King may save his oath The King granteth thereunto That the Statute of Edw. 3. tit 20. may be observed The Answer is in an Act made hereafter therefore Answ. It is enacted that the Statute of Westminster made against the destruction of Salmons may be kept and that all Mills set on Rivers be thrown down That the Fines of the Chancery Writs may be abated That the King would the Chancellor should consider the state of the person That no Purveyor of Timber do take away trees about any mans house and that exceptions thereof be in all their Commissions The King granteth thereunto That no Writ de Excommunicato capiendo before a Scire facias be directed to cause the party to answer The same cannot be granted That the partie may answer to the cause after Letters of Excommunication Answer as next before That the Merchants may be paid their Loans in every Sack of Wooll Walter of Chirton the Kings Farmer of his Customs hath not yet accompted It is Enacted that the Justices of Oyer and Terminer shall cease and take the Fines of the parties in their presence and by their own accord No pardon shall be granted to bringers in of false money That remedy may be had against the oppressors of Ordinaries and â—heir Officers The Laws of the Land and of the Church shall be observed A complaint for taking of forty six shillings eight pence Custom for every three hundred Wooll Fells where the old Custom was three shillings four pence for every hundred The old Custom recieved ought not to be withdrawn That a Standard of all manner of measures may be in every Country If there be not there shall be That no Statute be altered for any private cause Let a more explanation be made against the next Parliament A motion touching the Alnage and measure of Cloth answered by a special Statute made thereof in this year The Print touching those that were born in the parts beyond the Seas cap. 1. agreeth with the Record The Print touching the measure and content of Woollen Clothes Cap. 1. agreeth with the Record The print touching Merchandizes to be sold by Merchants strangers Cap. 2. agreeth with the Record The print against Forestalling Cap. 3. agreeth with the Record The print for pulling down of Mills set upon Rivers Cap. 4. agreeth with the Record It is to be noted that the next four Statutes above in the print were noted to be made at the Utaves of St. Hillary in the 25. where the same was nothing so as may appear Along Statute called the Statute of Provisions being an Act against the Popes tyrannous oppressions and detestable enormities agreeth with the print Cap 1 2.

and Commons assembled in the place aforesaid where the said Chancellor began his long Oration with S. Paul viz. Libenter suffertis insipientes and applied it That being wise desired to hear him the contrary He proceeded with Scripture as that every Messenger bringing joyful news is welcomed Thereby proving that he should be so for that he brought joyful news of the Kings good recovery of a dangerous sickness By the which he shewed that God loved the King and Realm The King for that quos diligo castigo The King by the Psalmist saying Uxor tua sicut vitis abundans in lateribus and thereby sheweth that for children no Christian Prince was so happy and confirmeth the said happiness by the above saying Et videas filios filiorum which the King saw That God thereby loved the Realm he proved by the recovery of so renowned a Prince and that his recovery to be the Fiftieth year of his Reign the year of Jubile the year of joy for that he would thereby impart to his said Subjects as well spiritual as temporal or bodily comforts He then by the similitude That if the head be sound and some particular member of the body diseased that the said infected member can receive no vertue or salve from the head inferreth that as the King being the sound head and willing to shew grace and favor to the Subjects the members the infected with vice cannot receive the same And therefore perswaded such as would be partakers thereof to conform themselves thereafter by having love without which he proveth by S. Paul that nothing doth avail He then turneth his speech to the Lords enlarging the cause whereby they were to think that the King dearly loved them forasmuch as at their requests since the last Parliament the King had advanced Richard there present to be Prince of Wales He then shewed what cause they had to embrace the said Prince by offering to him as the Princes of Cullen did to Christ all honor by throwing abroad money according to the order of the Pagans at the coming of their Prince by offering gold in token of riches and renown and myrrh in token of his honorable scepter He further sheweth that the same Prince should in their hands and hearts without all rancor be embraced and no otherwise then Simeon did Christ for that they had now seen that which long they had longed for and therein shewed how they should obey him as the Vicar and Legat of God that they might see the true peace in Israel viz. in England the inheritance of God whereof after so great victories was great hope The cause of the Parliament he sheweth to be for that the French under colour of Truce granted by the King at the mediation of the Pope and yet enduring had allied himself with the Spaniards and Scots the Kings enemies and had prepared puissant and great Armies thereby conspiring to blot out the English tongue and Nation wherein the King willed to have their faithful counsel Wherefore the Chancellor willed them to go together and give a speedy answer After this Sir Robert de Ashton the Kings Chamberlain declared That he was to move them from the King for the profit of the Realm The which words percase lay not in the Bishops mouth for that they touched the Pope viz. By protesting first that the King was ready to do all that ought to be done for the Pope But for that divers usurpations were done by the Pope to the King his Crown and Realm as by particular Bill in this Parliament should be shewed the King requireth them to seek redress Receivers of petitions for England Ireland France and Scotland Receivers of petitions for Gascoin and other places beyond the seas and of the Isles Tryers of petitions for England c. as above T ryers of petitions for Gascoin c. as above After this the Commons were willed to repair to the Chapter house of the Abbey of Westminster to treat of these matters and how money might be best levied thereto and certain Lords there named were appointed from time to time to confer with the Commons for their better help The Lords and Commons grant to the King towards his great charges Four pence of every poll man or woman passing the age of fourteen years only Beggers excepted The Commons request that the King would appoint two Earls and two Barons to receive as well their Subsidy as the Subsidy of the Clergy and the Subsidy of Woolls granted the last Parliament so as the same be imployed upon the Wars and that the High Treasurer do in no wise meddle therewith Afterwards when it was declared to how great a sum the wages of those four Treasurers would amount unto the Commons then required that the High Treasurer might then be doer therein to the use of the Wars After the two and twentieth of February certain Bishops and Lords the Chancellor Treasurer and Keeper of the Privy Seal and all the Justices by the Kings appointment went to Sheen where the King lay sick and there in their presence the Articles of the Kings general pardon as ensueth were read with other answers made to the Petitions of the Commons as hereafter follow whereunto the King agreeth and willed that they should the next day be read in the House and to make the same the last day of Parliament the which was done the next day being the three and twentieth day of February by authority of the King and of the said President Petitions of the Commons with their Answers The Print touching the Liberties of the Church the great Charter and the Charter of the Forrest cap. 1 2 3. agreeth with the Record in effect but not in form The Print as touching the general Pardon cap. 3. agreeth with the Record Divers Articles of pardon which are comprised in the Pardon aforesaid That all persons and Corporations may have the pardon freely without paying any thing for the Great Seal Such as for Felonies are to sue shall do the same before the Nativity of S. Iohn and pay the Fees onely That such as owe unto the King may upon their Account be allowed of all such Loans as are due to them or to any of their Ancestors The Treasurers and Barons shall make allowance of due debt That title of prescription of any liberties may as well be allowed as if it were by grant and that prescription may be from the Coronation of the King The King by advice will do herein as he shall think best That the Justices of Peace do not enquire of any Articles which are to be redressed in any Lords Leet but only of the peace and of Labourers and that they hold their Sessions four times a year The Statutes heretofore made cannot stand if this be granted That the Patent of
them to consult together Receivers of Petitions for England Ireland Wales and Scotland Receivers of Petitions for Gascoyn and other Countries beyond the Seas and of the Isles Tryers of Petitions for England Wales and Scotland with their places appointed Tryers of Petitions for Gascoyne c. as above The next day after Sir Richard le Scroop Steward of the Kings House by the Kings commandment in the presence of the King Lords and Commons rehearsed the whole matter of the Arch-Bishop and willed them to consult thereof The same day the Commons required sundry Lords and Nobles with whom they might confer and as chief of them the King of Castill and Aragon and Duke of Lancaster The same King and Duke kneeling before the King required to be exempted from the same choice for that the Commons had slandered him in manner of Treason in which his defence he there openly before the King demanded the Combate to any person whatsoever or what other order the King should appoint Whereupon the whole Lords and Commons with one voyce purged him and requested that he would use no more such words where to the said Duke seemed to be content but said that the same report to set the Nobles at debate was no better then treason After that Sir Peirce de la Mare Knight being Speaker of the Parliament making his protestation said that what he had to say was from the whole House and therefore required that if he should happily speak any thing without their consents that the same ought to be amended before his departure from the said place He commendeth the feats of Chivalry and sheweth how we were thereby of all Nations renowned and how by the decay of the same the honor of this Realm was and daily would much decrease He further sheweth that when Merchants were Masters of ships and had the free disposition of them that then one Town in the Realm had more ships that were good then now had the whole Realm The Commons by him make three Petitions considering the Kings tender age First that it will please the King to name in the Parliament seventeen sufficient persons of all estates to be continually resident about the Affairs of the King and Realm with others of the Kings Officers so as they may be ascertained of their names who shall have the disposition of such things as they shall grant towards the War That their names may be known who shall be about the Kings person bringing him up in vertue and that the Kings house may be born with the Revenews of the Crown and what now is to be granted to be imployed onely upon the Wars That the Common Laws and other Statutes and Ordinances of the Law may be observed and may not be defaced with Masterships or singularities To the first request the King assenteth so as the Chancellor Treasurer Keeper of the Privy Seal Justices of the one Bench and the other may execute their Offices without the assent of such Councellors The King also by the advice of the Lords in the same Parliament for that one year chose nine other the like Councellors viz. â—he Bishops of London Carlisle and Salisbury the Earls of Stafford and March Sir Richard Stafford and Sir Henry le Scroop Baronets Sir Iohn Deverose and Sir Hugh Segrave Batchelors so as well these nine as the other seven shall continue Councellors but one year and not to be chosen during two years after That no gift of the King of any thing shall be made to any of the said Councellors during the said year but by the common assent of all other Councellors or the most of them that they take nothing other then meat and drink of small value upon pain of losing double to the party and sixfold so taken to the King and that they maintain no quarrel and that the discussion hereof be onely to the King to his Uncles of Spain Cambridge and Bucks That all such as shâ—ll complain of such Councellors and not able to approve shall incur the dangers of Accusers made in the time of E. 3. That such Councellors shall be sworn in the Kings presence to observe these Orders at which time the aforesaid Nine were sworn accordingly For the appointing of such as should be about the Kings person the Lords would not intermeddle and for the consideration of the Kings Houshold the Lords would talk with the chief Officers of the same to do therein to the Kings honor And to the third request the Lords granted The Lords and Commons granted to the King two Fifteens out of Cities and Burroughs and two Tenths of Cities and Burroughs the Fifteens of all Lands whatsoever and Tenths of all manner of goods to be levied between that and Candlemas ensuing so as the same with the Subsidy of Woolls be imploied upon the Wars onely and that some might be appointed thereunto All which was granted saving to the King the Custom of the Woolls 15000 l. wherein he was indebted for the Wars And thereupon William Wallworth and Iohn Philpot Merchants of London were appointed the keepers of such sums to the uses aforesaid whereto they were sworn before the King in open Parliament William de Monteacute Earl of Sarum complaineth that whereas E. 3. gave to William de Monteacutâ— Earl of Salisbury his Father in general tail with warranty the Castle Town and Honour of Denbigh with the Contrades of Roos Rowenox and Kiderminster and the Comote of Dimnael with the appurtenances in Wales the which in the life of E. 3. was recovered in the Kings Bench from the said Earl by Roger of Mortimer Earl of March Father to Edward now Earl by the name of the Land of Denbigh and for that error was in the same recovery he prayeth the examâ—nation of the same Record and restitution vide 2 R. 2.41 31.

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

Spain whereto all men should much the more be encouraged and have good hope considering that by two Croiseris the one granted to the Duke of Lancaster against Spain the other to the Bishop of Norwich against the Anti-Pope and all his accomplâ—ces the Pope hath thereby granted to all such as went sought or dyed in the quarrell full remission of all their sins The Commons having this their charge departed towards their place in the Abbey at Westminster but before they did any thing therein they made request to have certain especiall Lords by name assigned unto them with whom they might consult the which was granted their names then appearing After this the Lords and Commons granted to the King one fifteenth and one Tenth out of the Cities and Towns to be levyed in such wise as the last grant was and no otherwise to be imployed upon the defence of the Realm as to the King by the advise of his Councell and Lords of the Realm should seem good Thomas Feedon Richard Moory and Richard Dell as principall doers in the late insurrection and namely for burning and destroying the house and Mannours of the Order of St. Iohn of Ierusalem in England are excepted out of the pardon and therefore their names were delivered into the Kings Bench that the like process might be made against them as against other Traytors Iohn Hene of London Iohn Battail and Thomas Battail with Sir Michaell Dagworth Kt. do in the Parliamemt wholly submit themselves to the order of the King and his Councel touching their long suit sustained in the Kings Bench for the mannour of Bradwell in Essex The King by assent of the Parliament for the fine of a thousand Marks having granted to the Citizens of York pardon of all Treasons Felonies c.
