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.

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-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

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

E. 3. tit 1. and which there cannot be read are contained at large The same Objections laid against the said Earl are to be engraven in the hearts of all Councellors about a Prince For this Earl being condemned of certain points wherefore he deserved commendations for others altogether untrue surmises as the half blind may see and for other some being true yet of no moment may teach Councellors to see themselves and thereby know that their well-doing not being well taken doth purchase death where the Princes wrath supplieth equity The Lords and Judges of the Parliament by the authority of the King for the objections laid against the said Earl adjudged him to be drawn and hanged which was there done with post speed This Bill requireth that the Judgment aforesaid might be revoked for errors in all points of the same viz. for as much as the said Earl was put to death without any accusation or being brought to Judgment or Answer The same Judgment is revoked and the same Roger restored to the blood and to all the Hereditaments of the said Earl The Judgment of the Lords made in 4 E. 3. tit 1. was so strange as they having Conscientias mille testes knew themselves so gauled thereby as in sundry Parliaments after they sought by all means to have an Act that no Peer should be put to death but by open answer by his Peers in full Parliament but long they laboured in vain but at last they obtained as before it doth appear Richard Earl of Arundel by petition sheweth How at the Parliament holden at Candlemas in the 1 E. 3. nothing was done touching the attainder of Edmond the Earl of Arundel his Father albeit he was thereupon put to death he prayeth now that he may be taken as Heir to his Father The Record and Act aforesaid fully agreeth with the recital of the said Earl Upon the view of which Record the said Richard alleadgeth that therein is nothing contained wherefore the said Earl should be put to death without Judgment or due process of Law after which the whole Estates adjudged the said Earl unjustly put to death they undo the said process and restore the said Earl to all benefits of the Law It is enacted by common assent that all the Ordinances made in the last great Councel assembled at Westminster touching the Staple be confirmed to continue for ever Petitions of the Commons with their Answers It is enacted that the Justices of the peace shall be of the best in every County that upon the displacing of any of them others be placed at the nomination of the Knights of the same County that they sit four times at the least every year that none be displaced without the Kings special commandment or testimony of their fellows That the surplusage of the Fines of the Statute of Labourers may be entirely distributed amongst the poor of the whole County and not to poor Towns only It shall be parted among the poor Towns only That the Writ of Estreat may lie in every action where the party shall recover damages of Estreats after the Writ purchased The old Law shall be continued The Print touching the shew of Woolls cap. 14. agreeth with the Record That remedy may be had in such cases where the King receiveth the profits of the Wards Lands as well of Socage as otherwise where no part of the same is holden of him The Law heretofore used shall continue The print that none be out-lawed without due process of Law cap. 3. agreeth with the Record That it may be ordered whether the Tenants of such as hold by Barony and are summoned to the Parliament shall contribute to the Payment of Knights Fees coming to the Parliament As heretofore so the same shall be The present pay be made of all Purveyances being under twenty shillings and of greater within one quarter of a year and that Purveyance be made without malice the print cap. 1 12. agreeth with it It is good to make payment accordingly to the first point and to redress the second That all Sheriffs be charged to make present payment for all purveyances for Callice The demand is reasonable The print touching errors and misprisions in the City of London cap. 10. agreeth with the Record That any one of many attainted upon a Writ of Oyer and Terminer may bring his attaint hanging his suit against the other The Lords will not alter the order of the Law The print touching the confirmation of all Statutes not repealed cap. 1. agreeth with the record That the Lords Marchers of Wales do suffer no distresses to be made on any English man coming into Wales for any other mans debts if he be no debtor trespassor or Surety As heretofore the Law shall be That no Inquest upon Conspiracy Confederacy Maintenance or such like be returned but by the Sheriff of the most lawful men and nighest in that part of the Country where such acts are laid that all evidences therein be given openly
into the Parliament before the King and Lords bringing in Sir Iohn Gildesbrough knight whom they had chosen then to be their Speaker who making his Protestation required that whatsoever he should speak and be taken in evill part might be imputed to his ignorance and not unto the Commons And if that happily he should speak contrary to the expectation of the said Commons that they then at all times amend the same He saith then that the Commons suppose that if the King were reasonably governed in his expences within and without the Realm that he should little need to charge his Commons being already much impoverished And therefore they require the King to discharge the Lords of the great Councel and to appoint about him only five Councellors being his chief Officers viz. the Chancellor Treasurer Keeper of the Privy Seal chief Chamberlain and the Steward of the Houshold whose names they would knowâ— and that they should not be removed without Parliament but for death sickness or such like causes Finally he requireth that it would please the King to appoint by Commission certain such as should enquire by all means of the Kings charges as well of Houshold as otherwise and of all his Officers beyond the Seas as on this side and to appoint redresse for defaults since his Coronation The King after that granteth to such Commission and to the persons therein named according to the form following his estate and regality always saved The whole form and Commission it self with the Names of the Commissioners very large and worthy the noting The Lords and Commons do grant to the King one fifteen and a half to be taken out of the Cities and Towns and one Desme of Fifteenth and a half to be taken within Cities and Towns by way of a Loan untill the next Parliament and to be levied according as the last were so as the same be only imployed upon the Warrs They also grant unto the King the Subsidie of wools woolfels and skins from the Feast of S.

Meces in Iennes came as an Ambassador to the King under the Kings letters of safe conduct for alliance to be had between the King and the Duke and Commonalty of Iennes the aforesaid Iean so being under the Kings protection was murthered in London by some of the Kings Subjects That such act and stroak was Treason and a fault of the Kings royal Majesty impaired William de Mountagne Earl of Salisbury cometh into the Parliament in proper person and by petition sheweth the whole matter contained in the last Parliament tit 19 20 21 22 23 24. and sheweth how long he had sued and that day was given him until this present time requireth that Sir Iohn Cavendish Knight there present before whom the matter was might bring before them the old Process and Record and that he might assign the Errors and they proceed to Judgment Whereupon Sir Iohn Bishopstone Clerk and servant to the Earl of March in the absence of the said Earl then being in Wales in preparing himself towards Ireland where he was appointed to be the Kings Lieutenant sheweth the Kings protection made to the said Earl of March for one half year The words of the protection being read as it is there word for word and allowed and the said Earl of March to go without day Philip Darcy knight sheweth that whereas King Edw. 3. granted to Iohn Darcy knight the reversion of the Mannors of Temphurst and Templemeston and to his heirs males which was the said Philip The Prior of S. Iohn of Ierusalem in England upon the Order of 17 E. 2. had sued a Scire facias against the said Philip where the said Philip prayed in aid of the King as in reversion and that the said Prior sued in the Chancery for a Procedendo which he requireth to be stayed The said Philip sheweth a Deed in the Parliament whereby the Predecessor of the said Prior granted those Mannors of Flaxfleet being then in the Kings hands together with the Mannors of Dennis and Stroud next Rocestre all being parcel of the Lands of the Temple to King E. 2. in fee the which Deed the same Prior seemeth to deny But the same being so shewed before was delivered to the Treasurer and Barons of the Exchequer as appertaining to the King and order taken that no proceedings should be granted until Michaelmas after that in the mean time search might be made for the Kings title Iohn Earl of Pembroke being in the Kings custody and William la Zouch of Harringworth Cousins and heirs of William Cantlow shew that where Thomas the son and heir of Sir Robert Roos of Ingmanthorp sued them for certain lands in the Shire of York which late were the said Williams supposing certain Feoffments to be made by the said William without Condition for the advantage of this Complaint And for that the said Thomas sought to come to the trial of the Country which he had corrupted they required redress and trial by the Parliament The matter was committed to Iohn Knevit and Iohn Cavendish Chief Justices and to Robert Belknap Chief Justice of the Common-Pleas to examine and make report who did so at large whereby it falls out that the said Feoffments were made upon Condition as may there appear Petitions of the Commonsâ— with their Answers The print touching the liberties of the Church cap. 1. and observation of Laws cap. 11. in effect agreeth with the Record but not in form besides in the Record are contained the Great Charter and the Charter of the Forrest Sundry Counties lying upon the Sea-coasts by name require that all Chieftains of Soldiers do recompence the harms done to the Subjects by any of their Soldiers while they lay for passage over The King granteth so as the parties do make complaint to such Chieftains before their departure out of the Realm The Counties of Northumberland Cumberland and Westmerland require consideration of a Warden and Garrisons to lie on their Marches and that it may be commanded to all such as have Castles Forts or Lands as well within those Countries as upon all the Sea-coasts that they dwell upon the same To the first the King will provide To the second it is so commanded That no meer Welsh-man do purchase or procure any Lands or Lease in any of the Counties between the River of Severn and Wales on pain to lose the same to such on

Paris who placeth this Letter in Anno 1458. or 41 H. 3. whereas Sir Robert Cotton and Rishanger referr it to Anno 1260. or 44 H. 3 Destinantur Nuncii solennes ad Dominum Papam ex parte Regni ET TOTIUS ANGLIAE UNIVERSITATE c. Causam autem Itineris eorum et SCRIPTUM A BARNAGIO TRANSCRIPTUM audire qui cupit in libro Additamentorum invenire praevalebit Which compared with his Istud detestabile factum Romano erat Pontifici PER BARONES significatum in this very Letter his Magnates Nobiles terrae c. And his Tale iniit Consilium UNIVERSITAS BARNAGII will undeniably manifest That the Barons and Universality of the Baronage only not the meer Commons of England writ and sent this Letter and were the tota Communitas mentioned and intended in it in whose behalf these 11 Earls and Grandees subscribed and sealed it not the UNIVERSITAS REGNI POPULARIS ETSI NON NOBILES whom Mat. Paris distinguisheth from them by this very expression in the same year and upon the same occasion who Pictavienses obsiderent et Castra eorum funditus dissiparent Wherefore neither the signing nor sealing of this Letter by them Vice totius Communitatis nor this Clause in it Etsi Dominus Rex et Magnates hoc vellent COMMUNITAS tamen ipsius ingressum in Angliam nullatenus sustinerent meant only of the Vulgar Rable or Uiversitas Regni popularis as Mat. Paris stiles them who were much inraged against him being the same in substance with that phrase in King Henry the first his Letter unto Pope Paschal not in but out of Parliament Et si ego quod absit in tanta me dejectione ponâ—rem Optimates vero et TOTUS ANGLIAE POPULUS ID NULLO MODO PATERETUR can be any convincing or probable evidence at all that this Bishop elect of Winchester was then judicially banished by the joint consent of the King Nobles and Commons in Parliament as is suggested he being forced to fly thence through fear of their arms alone not banished by their judicial sentence as they thus expresly inform the Pope in another Letter sent to him with the former to inhibit his return Maxime CUM IPSE A REGNO EXPULSUS NON EXTITERIT SED SPONTE CESSERIT non ausus exhibitionem Iustitiae quae singulis secundum Iuramenta Regis Procerum debebatur expectare Much lesse is it any proof that the Commons in that age had a Voice and consent in Parliament Iudgments of all Natures since they never had it in succeeding ages unlesse it were by way of Bill as the whole Commons House acknowledged in the Parliament of 1 H. 4. n. 79. and I have manifested at large in my Plea for the Lords no more than that they had then a Speaker or House of Commons which is clear by subsequent Parliaments in this Abridgement they had not till many years after 44 H. 3. and after the Parl. of 6 E. 3. 3ly This will most evidently appear by the Barons Letter sent to King Henry the third to Lewes Anno Dom. 1264. the 48 year of his reign from their Camp Barones alii fideles sui c. subscribed only by the Earl of Leicester and Gilbert de Clare ad Petitionem aliorum And by the Letter of Richard King of Romans Prince Edward the Kings eldest son caeterique Barones omnes Milites praedicto Regi Angliae constanter adhaerentes fide sincera opibus sent to the Barons in answer thereunto thus subscribed Rex Alemanniae Edwardus filius Regis nomine suo aliorum Regi adhaerentium Omnes nos contenti sumus praedictorum Dominorum sigillis In both which Letters the two Earls and the King of Romans and Prince Edward joyntly signed and sealed in the Name of all the Barons Knights and others of either party and not one of them as a Proctor or Speaker to the Commons and the other as Proxie to the Barons and Lords both Letters being writ from their Camp not Parliament and neither of them relating to the Commons House or Judicature in Parliament just like this Letter concerning Bishop Adomar Therefore no inference can be thence deduced to prove the Commons had either any House Speaker or Judicature in the Parliaments of 42 or 44 of Henry the third The first expresse writ I find of any Knights of Counties by name summoned to our Parliaments as Members is that of Claus. 49 H. 3. dors 10 11. requiring Sheriffs to summon 2. Knights out of every County to the Paâ—liament which was presently after the battel of Evesham the same year the Earl of Leicester was slain the Barons totally routed by Pr. Edward and King Henry rescued out of their hands when Sir Robert Cotton affirms and that most truly as I conjecture THESE VVRITS BEGAN The writs of Rot. Claus. 15.

Thorp by his late Chief Justice caused the same openly to be read before the Nobles of the Parliament to hear every of their advises all whom affirmed the Judgment to be rightly given considering that he had against his Oath received Bribes and therefore it was agreed by the whole Parliament that if the like case should hereafter happen the King might take to him such Nobles as he should best think and therein do according to his pleasure Petitions of the Commons with their Answer It is Enacted that the great Charter and other Statutes be observed and the King in consideration of the great dearth of Corn releaseth the half of his provision appointed to be taken up by the Purveyors That remedy may be had against Labourers The answer doth appear hereafter in a Statute made heretofore That remedy may be had against the Popes reservations by which Broakage and means the Pope receiveth the first fruits of all Ecclesiastical dignities a more destruction to the Realm then all the wars The Answer doth appear in a Statute hereafter made therefore That the like remedy may be had against such as in the Court of Rome pursue to undo any Judgment given in the Kings Court as if he enforced to undo the Laws of the Realm There is a sufficient remedy provided by Law That the Statute made for the peace may be kept It pleaseth the King That no man be put to answer of his Free-hold or of any thing that toucheth life member or fine by opposite before the Councel but by due process of Law Touching Free-hold the King agreeth and of the rest will be advised That no Merchant other then for your Merchants for their great necessity do carry over the good money The King will be advised That the fines of Laborers may be paid to the chief taxes of this Fifteen in aid of the poor The surplusage thereof shall be imployed as hereafter may appear That the Steward and Marshal and their Deputies do make no other Process then was used in the time of King Edward the Second and limited by the Statute therefore provided The King would the Statute to be kept and the Complaint to be heard That no Purveyance be made for Hay or Oats for Horses The Statute shall be observed That the payment of Merchants for wafting over their goods may cease The King will be advised Such payments in short time grew to be a custom called Tonnage and Poundage That the Subsidy of Wool viz. of every Sack may cease The same was granted to the King for a time yet enduring That Sheriffs Escheators and Coroners may have sufficient in their Counties The Statutes made shall be kept That remedy may be had against Sheriffs not paying the Kings duties The Treasurer upon complaint shall pay the same That every Judgment

Saviours in Normandie while he was Captain there and of the Town of Brotherel in Brittain and of other Towns and Forts The same Lord was accused as a partaker of all the evils of Richard Lyons aforesaid particularly Whereunto the said Lord Latimer saving the tryall of his Peers offered to answer any particular persons but that would not the Commons do but generally as is aâ—oresaid Whereupon the said Lord answered every Objection and as it should seem very well avoided them in open Parliament notwithstanding there was the judgment of him in form following For that the Lord Latimer is found in full Parliament in default by his singular Councel and government against the profit of the King and Realm and namely for divers Chevisances to the Kings losse for grants procured to the destruction of the Staple and of the Town of Callis and for divers Impositions laid upon Wools he was awarded in full Parliament by the Bishops and Lords to be in prison in the keeping of the Marshall and to make fine and ransom at the Kings pleasure whereupon the Commons required that he might lose all his Offices and no longer be of the Kings Councel which the King granted And the said Lord Latimer in Parliament found certain Lords and others his Mainprisors for the forth coming of his body during the Parliament as by a Schedule doth appear and by this Mainprize the Marshall of England so offered him to be at large In the Schedule are his Mainprisors viz. one Archbishop three Bishops one Prior of S. Iohn three Earls fifteen Barons and thirteen Knights all their degrees of best renown William Ellis of great Yarmouth was accused of sundry extortions by him done while he was Farmer of the Kings petit customes there and Deputie to Richard Lyons for the Subsidie of sixpence in the pound granted to the King as by the Parliament it doth appear To which Accusation is seemeth that the said William Ellis sufficiently answered notwithstanding judgment was that he should be committed to prison and make fine at the Kings pleasure Iohn Peach of London was accused for procuring a license under the Great Seal that he only might sell sweet Wine in London and that by colour thereof he took four shillings four pence of every man for every Tun thereof sold the which he justified as lawfully he might notwithstanding judgment was given that he should be committed to prison at the Kings will besides recompence to all parties grieved The Lord Iohn Nevil was accused that during the time that he was of the Kings Privy Councel he should buy certain debts due by the King namely of the Lady Ravâ—nsham and Simon Love Merchant far under the value and for receiving of the King more wages and for a longer time for a hundred souldiers in Brittain then was due Of the Ladies own good will for the obtaining her debt he confesseth to have received ninety five pound which was not disproved Of Love he denied any such to be Love being thereupon brought into the Parliament wholly excuseth the same Lord. But because Love had the day before confessed the contrary before two Knights of the House he was committed to prison To the receiving of wages the same Lord fully cleereth himself notwithstanding judgement of Imprisonment and losse of lands and goods and offices was given of him as on others before and that he should make restitution of the ninety five pounds to the Executors of the said Ladie The King ordaineth that from thenceforth no woman should for maintenance pursue any matter in the Kings Courts and namely Alice Perrers upon losse of all that they have and banishment for ever out of the Realm An Order that the Prior of Ecclefield an alien should exhibit his Bill of Complaint against the Lord Latimer for the Parsonage of Ecclefield which the said Lord had wrongfully caused to be recovered against the said Prior. For that Adam de Bury was accused of divers deceits and wrongs done by him while he was Major of Callice and Captain of Bellingham as hereafter may appear and was sent for to come unto the Parliament and came not nor yet could be found It was agreed that all his Goods and Chattels should be arrested and so they were The Bishop of Norwich supposeth an erronious Judgment to be given against him in the Common Place for the Archdeaconry of Norwich belonging to his Presentation and prayeth that those Errors might be heard and redress thereof whereunto Answer was made that Errors by Law in the Common place are to be corrected in the Kings Bench and of the Kings Bench in the Parliament and not otherwise As well at the complaint of the men of Leistock as the pursuit of the Commons the grant late made by the King to the Town of great Yarmouth that one place in the Sea called Kirklerode annexed to the Port of Yarmouth should be utterly repealed saving all other their Liberties On Wednesday the day after S. Iohn at the request of the Commons came into the open Parliament before the Lords and Commons Richard Burdeaux the son and heir of Edward late Prince of Wales and heir apparent to the Realm of whom after the Archbishop of Canterbury had spoken words of commendation the Commons with one voice prayed that the Lords would make him Prince of Wales as his Father was who said it laid not in them but in the King only so
about the Kings person for this year The said Sir Richard le Scroop by the Kings commandment answered that albeit there never was account of Subsidies in or out of Parliament yet notwithstanding the King would that the said William and Iohn with others of the Kings Council should shew them the same so as the same should be taken for no example Touching any of the Kings debts the Exchequer used not to forget them Touching the Kings Officers and Councellors the King will chuse them according to his pleasure and thereafter make them prevail He therefore willeth the Lords as knowing the necessity to have due and speedy consideration thereof The Commons require longer day for the exhibiting of theâ—r Petitions which was granted They also require the Enrollment of the Aids and Subsidies granted the last Parliament the which was granted at the Kings pleasure and not at their request The Commons then require that five or six of the Lords might be appointed to come to discourse with them the Lords denyed that saying the same was the guise of two or three Parliaments before but theirs was that the Lords should among themselves chuse a certain number and the Commons the like and that they should confer together which they would do for if the Commons would not dissever themselves neither would they the Lords to which Order the Commons agreed After the Commons had reviewed the Enrollments of the receipts and expences about the Wars they eftsoon returned into the Parliament and commended the same as very honourable only they said that touching the forty six thousand pound defraied about the Marches of Callice Brest and other places of Gascoign and certain ransoms of prisoners should not run in their charge considering those defences were out of the Realm Thereunto was answered that those places were the very Barbicans and Propugnacles of the Realm the which being well defrauded and the Sea kept we should then enjoy peace at home and not otherwise The Commons then thought the goods of King E. 3. able to serve the turn Whereto was answered that the same goods were justly praised and delivered to certain his Creditors except certain implements of houshold wherefore the King stood bound to pay the value to certain of his Credâ—tors The Archbishop of Canterbury came before the King and Lords and required audience giving first most lowly thanks for the confirming of the liberties of the Church He then required that the great villany done in the Abby-Church of Westminster may be revenged viz. for that Robert Hamley Esq. and one other were murthered in the Church of Westminster by the high Altar at high Mass time And so beseecheth that the King may be vertuously brought up in his youth and have good Counsel The Temporal Lords on the contrary wished for the like bringing up of the King in vertue â—nd pray the King that where the Clergy hath incroached against the Laws that the same may be redressed They further say That the Judges and learned of the Law and certain Doctors of the Divine Civil and Common Law being examined and sworne before the King have thereby affirmed that no man ought to enjoy the Sanctuary in cases of Debt Accompt or Trespass but only in cases where the life or member of a man lieth in danger All which those Doctors and Clerks did after in this present Parliament defend and openly prove against the Bishops whereunto the Bishops could not then answer but required longer day which was granted Note in this Record are made certain reasons against Sanctuary for Debts about which priviledge it appeareth this Hurly-burly to have been The Lords and Commons grant to the King the like Subsidy of Wooll and Staple ware as was granted in 50 E. 3. tit 7. but expressed in 43 E. 3. tit 10. for one year over and above Which said subsidies they granted to the King as a new increase of the same subsidies Thirteen shillings four pence of every sack of Wooll Thâ—rteen shillings four pence for every twelve score Wooll-fells Twenty six shillings eight pence of every Last of Skins passing out of the Realm of all manner of persons for one year They also grant to the King six pence of every Twenty shillings merchandise passing or coming into the Realm They require the King to imploy their Grants to the maintenance of Wars and to appoint suffâ—cient and able Treasurers therefore as lately And to take these their Grants in good part for that by Plague War and Murrain they are able to do no more William of Montacute Earl of Salisbury rehearseth the old Petition contained in 1 R. 2. tit 28. 29.

this Bailiwick neither any Lands or Tenements to be warned thereby who was Sheriff of Shropshire Whereupon the said Earl of Salisbury required another Scire fac for to warn Edmund now Earl of March the son and heir of the said Roger to be and answer at the next Parliament which was granted The Lady Nevill of Essex complaineth and sheweth that where Iohn Brewes and others brake her house at London and violently took thereout Margery the daughter of Iohn Nerfourd son to the said Lady and carried her away unto the house of Robert Howard knight All who kept away the said Margery to the end she should not pursue in Court Christian adnullation of contract of matrimony against the said Iohn Brewes For which cause the said Robert was by the Council committed to the Tower and after delivered surety and promised to do his uttermost to bring forth the said Margery by Michaelmas ensuing or else to yield himself prisoner to the Tower again The said Robert at Michaelmas came before certain of the Council and shewed his travel about the expedition asore but that he could not meet with her To whom the said Council gave three moneths of longer respite Notwithstanding upon the said Ladies pursuit for that the said Robert not bringing forth the said Margery did not yield himself prisoner to the Tower the same Robert was therefore committed to the Tower again Sir William of Windsor and Alice his wife late called Dâ—me Alice Perrers pray the revocation of a Judgment made in the last Parliament tit 41 42 43. against the said Alice for Errors therein contained The Record was brought forth and Errors assigned But the Kings learned Council adjudged and the Kings favour they could not sue in such wise but require that by Aâ—torney they might sue therefore Whereupon the said William

On Wednesday the fifth of March the Commons coming before the King shew how that the States of the Realm might be well resembled to the Trinity viz. the King the Bishops and the Lords and Commons wherein ought to be unitie and therefore prayed the King to appease the Earl of Rutland and the Lord Fitz-Walter both of whom kneeling submitted themselves to the Kings order who promised an order 33. The same day the Commons first and the Lords after pray the King in consideration of the Earls of Rutland and Somerset in the Rebellions tryed to admit them to their Goods Names and Liberties and to his favour as fully as any other Lords notwithstanding the Judgement made against them primo Regis The which with thanks for their motion the King then doth 34. The Commons do grant that after a year and six months the King may reenter upon any of the Farmers for non payment of his Rent except for the Fee Farmes of Lordships Cities and Towns and that from thenceforth the King may make express mention thereof 35. The Commons pray the King that Sir Richard Clifford Keeper of the Privy Seal might enjoy the Bishoprick of Bath and Wells whereto he was commended by the Popes Bull notwithstanding the Statute of Provisors The King answered that could not be so for as much as Master Henry Bonnett was elected thereunto by the Laws of the Realm but otherwise he would remember the same Sir Richard in another time 36. At the request of the Commons it was enacted by the King that Dame Philip late the wife of Robert de Vere Duke of Ireland shall enjoy for her Dower all the Lands as she then had during the minoritie of the heir of Auberie de Vere late Earl of Oxford so as if the said heir at his full age doe confirme her estate that then she should have all the Hereditaments of the said Robert otherwise to forfeit the same and that the said Philip should then have her part during her life as of the Kings gift 37.

He took then for his Theame these words multitudo sapientum and thereby learnedly declared that by Councell every Realm was governed and resembled every man to the body of a man and applyed the right hand to the Church and the left hand to the Temporaltie and the other Members to the Commonaltie of all which Members and Estates the King being willing to have Councell had therefore called the same Parliament and that for sundry causes 3. First for the utter appeasing of Welch Rebellions for rebelling of the malice of the Duke of Orleance and the Earl of St. Paule who had bent themselves wholly against the King and the Realm and namely by their late arrivall in the Isle of Wight where they took the repulse To consider the imminent perill of the Marches of Callice Guienne and other like Dominions to remember the wars of Ireland and Scotland and not to forget to take an order touching the late Rebellions of Henry Percy and other their Adherents at the Battail of Shrewsbury and so willed the Commons to choose and the next day to present their Speaker 4.

On VVednesday the sixteenth of Ianuary the Commons came before the King and desired him to have regard to the charges for the repressing of the VVelch Rebels and keeping of the Sea to consult of the great charges of his House That the King and the Prince would give Liveries according to the Statute made 10. That the King would provide for the repayring of his Castles and Houses and namely for his Castle at Windsor which were greatly in decay and not to grant away the profits of those Castles and Houses and notwithstanding to stand to the repayring of the same without which he could not but run to the great charging of the Commons and to the subversion of the whole estate 11. On Friday the eighteenth day of February the Earl of Northumberland came into the Parliament before the King and the Lords and there by his Petition to the King acknowledged to have done against his allegiance and namely for gathering of power and giving of Liveries wherefore he prayeth pardon and the rather for that upon the Kings Letters he yeilded himself and came to the King into York whereas he might have kept himself away 12. The which Petition the King delivered to the Justices by them to be considered Whereupon the Lords made Protestation that the order thereof belonged to them And so they as Peers of this Parliament to whom such Judgement belonged in weighing the Statute of 27 E. 3. touching treasons and the Statute of Liveries made in this Kings time adjudged the same to be no treason nor Felonie but onely trespass fineable to the King 13. For which Judgement the said Earl gave great thanks to the King and Lords And at the request of the said Earl he the same Earl was then sworn to be true Liegeman to the King to the Prince the Kings eldest son and to the heirs of his body begotten and to every of the Kings Sons and to their issue succeeding the Crown of England according to the Laws and that done the King pardoneth the said Earl his Fine and Ransome 14.

And on this day the levying of War of the said Sir Henry Percie and others was adjudged treason by the King and Lords in full Parliament 16. At the request of the Commons the Lords accorded that four speciall persons should be removed out of the Kings House viz. the Kings Confessors the Abbot of Dore Master Richard Durham and Crosby of the Chamber Whereupon Saturday the ninth of February the said Confessor Durham and Crosbie came into the Parliament before the King and Lords where the King excused them saying that he then knew no cause wherefore they should be removed but onely for that they were hated of the people and therefore charged them to depart from his House according to the agreement and the like he would also have pronounced against the Abbot if he had been present 17. On the same Saturday the Commons gave great thanks to the King in full Parliament for the favour
