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

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

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

Wool After which Feast of St. Iohn Baptist the Staple shall be kept in such Towns upon the Sea Coast as to the Lords of the Councell shall seem good The Commons for the great affiance which they repose in the King granted that he by the advice of his Lords might make such toleration touching the Statute of Provision as to him should seem good untill the next Parliament so as the Statute be repealed in no Article thereof nor none disturbed of his lawfull possession so also as they may disagree thereunto at the next Parliament with this Protestation that this their assent being in very deed a Noveltie be had or taken for no example It is enacted that no man from henceforth shall be compelled to appear or answer before the Counsell of any Lord or Lady of any thing reall or personall appertaining to the Laws of the Land The Lords and Commons granted to the King one half Desme and the like Fifteen and one whole Desme and one Fifteen conditionally that if the King went not personally into France or Scotland against his enemies or that Peace were taken before with his said enemies that then the same they grant should remain to be imployed upon other defence of the Realm The King at the request of the Commons granted that between this and the next Parliament no Eyire or Trayle le baston should be kept nor no generall Commission of Oyer and Terminer granted without urgent necessity It is to be remembred that the grant of the Subsidies in the last Parliament shall stand in force The second day of December the Lords and Commons require the King that he would as largely injoy his Prerogative as any of his Progenitors did notwithstanding any Statute and namely the Statute made at Gloucester in the time of King E. 2. the which Statute they utterly repeal for which their tender affection the King giveth them thanks and granteth thereunto The print touching recognizance taken before the Mayor of the Staple cap 9. agreeth with the Record The Commons in open Parliament declared that if any treatie of peace or league were to be taken with the Kings enemies that it were expedient that the Duke of Guienne as the most honourable should go to the same treatie The King answered that he would the same if the Duke so pleased whereunto the said Duke did say that he was very ready The Prior of Holland in Lancashire complaineth of a great Ryot done by Henry Treble of Throngaston William his Brother Robert Gisseldon Robert Grubber Richard Sprat Iohn Greenbow and others for an entrie made by them into the Parsonage of Whitewick in the Countie of Leicester whereupon Iohn de Ellingham Serjeant at Arms by verue of a Commission to him made brought into the Parliament the said Henry Treble and Iohn Greenbow who were principall misdoers who upon examination confessed the whole matter and were therefore committed to the Fleet there to remain at the Kâ—ngs pleasure and after they made Fyne in the Chancery and agreed with the said Prior and found suertie for their good behaviour and so were delivered The Abbot of St. Oseches in Essex complained against Iohn Rechell for diverse imbraceries by him done and namely that the said Iohn should refuse the Order of the Duke of Lancaster therein where he had comprimitted himself thereto whereupon the said Iohn was caused to come into the Parliament where the Duke affirmed his Award there entred by word the which the Chancelour was charged to see the same Iohn accomplish The Stile of the said Duke was Iohn the Son of the King of England Duke of Guiene and Lancaster Earl of Derby Lincoln and Leicester Steward of England For that Sir William Bryan Knight had purchased from Rome a Bull directed to the Archbps. of Canterbury and York to excommunicate such as had broken up his house and had taken away

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
have also seduced Egypt even they that are the stay of the Tribes thereof The Lord hath mingled a spirit of Perversenesse in the midst thereof and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof as a drunken man staggereth in his vomit Neither shall there be any work for Egypt which the head or tail branch or rush may doe So as we may justly conclude with that of Psal. 118 8 9. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in Princes yea or Parliaments Wherefore Put not your trust in Princes in Parliaments nor in any son of man in whom there is no help yea Cease ye from man whose breath is in his nostrils for wherein is he to be accounted of For although usually in a way of ordinary providence In the multitude of Counsellers there is safety yet God many times in justice Leadeth the greatest Counsellers yea Parliaments themselves away spoyled and maketh the Iudges fools so that though they associate themselves together they shall be broken in pieces and though they take Counsel together yet it shall come to naught when God is not with but against them whereof we have seen many late sad domestick experiments to wean us from Deifying Idolizing of or over-much confiding in or depending upon Parliaments which have been so subject to Errors Deviations Abortions in former and later times Touching the Original of electing and sending Knights Citizens and Burgesses to our Parliaments it is very obscure and dubious Sir Robert Cotton the Author of this Abridgment In his brief Discourse concerning the Power of the Peers in Parliament in point of Iudicature affirms and proves That the Generale Placitum Universalis Synodus Magnum Commune Concilium of the Realm now stiled a Parliament was held Ceram Episcopis Magnatibus suis Or Coram Episcopis Principibus Regni in praesentia Regis This Great Court or Council consisting of the King and Barons ruled all affairs of State and controlled all Inferiour Courts Causes being referred and transferred out of the County and other Courts unto it propter aliquam dubitationâ—m quae emergit cum Comitatus nescit dijudicare as Glanvil in King Henry the seconds reign informs us and Bracton Britton with sundry Statutes and Records of later date with the antient presidents of Ethelwold Bishop of Wilton his sute against Leoftine and Q Edgin against Goda in the time of King Ethelredâ— the sute between the Bishop of Winton Durham in the time of St. Edward and one in the 10. year of the Conqueror evidence The power of the Peers in this Courtt and of certain Officers as the Steward Constable and Marshal fixed upon Families in fee for many ages was so transcendent that it seemed to be set to bound in the execution of Princes wills and grew fearfull to Monarchy Hereupon King Henry 3. when the daring Earl of Leicester was slain at the battel of Evesham by the dear experience himself had made at the Parliament at Oxford in the 40. year of his reign and the memory of the many streights his Father was driven unto especially at Runny-mead near Stanes wisely began to lessen the strength and power of his great Council weakning that hand of power which they carried in the Parliaments by commanding the service of many Knights Citizens and Burgesses to that Council NOW BEGAN saith he THE FREQUENT SENDING OF WRITS TO THE COMMONS THEIR ASSENTS not only used in Money Charge and making Laws For before ALL ORDINANCES PASSED BY THE KING PEERS but THEIR CONSENTS IN JUDGMENTS OF ALL NATURES WHETHER CIVIL OR CRIMINAL For proof whereof he produceth some succeeding presidents out of records When Adomar that proud Prelat of Winchester the Kings half Brother had grieved the State with his daring power he was exiled by the joynt consent of the King the Lords and Commons and this appeareth expresly by the Answer to the Letter sent by Pope Alexander the 4th expostulating a Revocation of him from Banishment because he was a Church-man and so not subject to Lay Censures In this the Answer is Si Dominus Rex et regni Majores hoc vellent COMMUNITAS TAMEN IPSIUS INGRESSUM IN ANGLIAM JAM NULLATENUS SUSTINERENT The Peers subjoyn this answer with their names and Petrus de Montford VICE TOTIUS COMMUNITATIS as SPEAKER or PROLOCUTOR OF THE COMMONS For by this stile Sir Io. Tiptoff Prolocutor affirmeth under his Arms the Deed of entail of the Crown by King Hen. 4. in the 8. year of his reign for ALL THE COMMONS By which passage and president it is apparent that in Sir Robert Cottons Judgement the Commons were not usually summoned to our Parliaments by writs till after 40 of King H. 3. and that purposely to curb and lessen the power of the Lords in Parliament This President he cites of Bishop Adomar out of the Leiger book of St. Albans falls in 44 H. 3. full 5 years before the Earl of Leicester was slain in which year Adomar died at Paris as he was posting from Rome into England to recover his Bishoprick Pope Alexander also dyed the same year 1260. in which I read there was a Parliament held but no mention of any Commons in it neither is there in our Records any Writ of Summons for electing Knights or Burgesses to repair to it in this year Onely I find there was a great difference then begun between King Henry and his Magnates Barones about the Ordinances made in the Parliament at Oxford which the King refused to observe contrary to his Oath from which he gained an absolution from the Pope I likewise read in William Rishanger his Continuation of Matthew Paris that this 44. year Magnates the Nobles not Commons sent quatuor Milites satis facundos qui Epistolam Sigillis suis firmatam Papae Cardinalibus exhiâ—erent containing many grievous accusations against this Bishop elect of Winton to hinder his promotion and return into England which Letter was sent from them sitting rather in a Military Councel at Oxford than in a true and real Parliament where Simon de Montsord Earl of Leicester Richard de Clare Earl of Gloucester MULTIQUE NOBILES IPSIS ADHAERENTES CONVENERUNT OXONIIS EQUIS ARMIS SUFFICIENTER INSTRUCTI finaliter statuentes in animo aut mori pro pace patriae aut pacis eliminare a patria turbatores as Rishanger relates Praeceperuntque omnibus qui eisdem servitium militare debuerant quatenus cum insis venirent parati veluti ad corpora sua contra hostiles insultus defensuâ—i Quod et fecerunt palliantes talem adventum eo quod in Walliam contra hostes Regis viderentur collectis viribus profâ—cturi as Matthew Paris himself records Neither was this Letter signed and sealed by Peter de Montsord as Speaker or
in Scotland be not delivered for ransom or faith so as if the Wats do cease within three years that then their Grant might cease so as all other their Petitions ensuing be granted and these their conditions enrolled and exemplified Petitions of the Commons with their Answer That the falshoods of such as were appointed to gather the Two thousand sacks of Wooll lent to the King may be determined by some of the Parliament and that all Acquittances to any such made be repealed This was answered it the last Parliament and therefore commandment to execute the same That commandment be given to the Nobles in no wise to maintain a common Robber or Theif that two Knights in every Shire-town and two learned in the Law be appointed Justices to determine all offences and to enquire of false money they to have some Fee The same was answered in the last Parliament That all Petitions in this present Parliament may be presently answered After Easter the same shall be answered That all Wooll and other Merchandizes may freely pass without any Loans or other Subsides over the due Customs The passage shall be free saving to the King his due That no Eyres of the Forrests or other enquires other then of peace be kept during the Wars The King is to do his pleasure therein That none of the Nobles nor other Captains of Scotland being the Kâ—ngs prisoners be in any wise delivered The King will do more if need shall be That such aid as is levied beyond Trent may be imployed on the Wars in Scotland That no Appeals be received of any Felonies done in any other Counties then where the Appeals were taken The King is not advised to make such new Laws That redress may be had for that the men of Bridges in Flunders have forbid all Merchants strangers to buy any staple Ware here The King will talk with the Flemish Ambassador and further to the good of the towns there That all enquires of Nineths granted may cease The King will be advised That the Order made that all Merchants for every Sack of Wooll should bring in two marks of Bullion may be repealed for that carrying over of Bullion is forbidden in Flanders The King will learn the truth of the Ambassador here It is agreed that the Customers at Easter next stay the receipt of two shillings of every Sack of Wool That remedy may be found that no Accomptant in the Exchequer do run in issues before he be warned The Proces shall be first a Venire fac then a Distringas and after a Writ out of the Chancery to the Treasurer and Barons That the Common Law may stand to the Bill of the Navy exhibited in the last Parliament The King will be advised The like motion for three years as before tit 9. It seemeth good for the ease of the Subjects if great necessity do not otherwise cause That the Marshal letting to Bail or at large any person committed to him for the peace do answer damages The King will be advised That no man be barred by non claim A Law cannot so suddenly be made That the Jurors in every Inquest and great assize may say the verity of the fact as in assize of Novel Disseisin The Law shall be kept as heretofore That the Purveyors for all victualls with two honest men where they shall purvey do take by Indenture The Laws heretofore made do suffice That none coming to the Parliament by summons be appointed a Sessor or a Receiver of the Fifteens triennial The King wlll appoint such men as he shall like That the erroneous judgâ—ments in the Exchequer be reversed in the Kings Bench. This was answered in the last Parliament A long complaint against Forresters for Afforresting of mens Purleus for undue tryal and for extortions A request that the great Charter may be kept and that all men may injoy the purlieus according to the perambulation made in the time of King Edward the first The King would the Charter to be kept and such as will complain in the right of their purlieus may have Writs out of the Chancery Whereupon Surry and other Countries shewed that they could not upon suit have such Writs The Order made at the last Parliament shall be kept and general Writs or special shall be granted to all such as will sue therefore so as right be had to the King to the Subjects They pray that the petitions declared by them in the last Parliament whereunto the King and Lords had agreed may be kept and not altered by any new coloured Bill or practice The King by the assent of the Lords made answer then that Laws and process heretofore used could not be altered without making of new Statutes which as yet they could not attend but shortly would On the Backside of the same Roll. The Worsted Weavers of Norwich and the Merchants of the same pray that such Letters Pattents as the King had granted to Robert Poley one of his Valects of assay and one of the Alnage of Worsted in Norwich and elsewhere in Norfolk during the life of the said Robert might be revoked and that they might have the same whereto was answered as followeth It seemeth to the Councel that the same ought to be granted for the common profit of all Estates Anno Vicesimo quinto Edwardi Tertii Rex c. dilecto fideli suo Henrico Com.
