other Office Curiosity in some particular occasion swayed more in it than any Custom Although we admit those before mentioned for true which may well be doubted in regard of the frequent fraud and ignorance in committing it which in the elder times possess'd the Church-men But for the Confessor's Seal that was without scruple certain and thence may we confidently derive the Great Seal of England III. Testimonies of the Chancellorship and Keepership joyned in times neer after the Norman Invasion AS in the Monuments of the Confessor Rembald is named Chancellor so under the first William Maurice Bishop of London and in the succeeding times others Old Stories of the Monks sufficiently mention them But little appears of the Office till the time of H. 2. under whom one writing the life of Thomas Beckett that was Lord Chancellor hath this most ancient testimony of it and of Keeping the Seal also Cancellarii dignitas est ut secundus à Rege in regno habeatur ut altera parte Sigilla regii quod ad ejus pertinet custodiam propria signet mandata ut Capella Regia in illius sit dispositione et cura ut vacantes Archiepiscopatus Episcopatus Abbatias Baronias cadentes in manum Regis ipse suscipiat conservet ut omnibus Regis assit consiliis etiam non vocatus accedat ut omnia Sigilliferi Clerici regii sua manu signentur Item ut suffragantibus ex Dei gratia vitae meritis nòn moriatur nisi Archiepiscopus vel Episcopus si voluerit Inde est quod Cancellaria non emenda est And another of the same time Cancellarius sicut in Curia sic ad Scaccarium magnus est adeò ut sine ipsius consensu vel consilio nihil magnum fiat vel fieri debeat verum hoc habet officium dum residet ad Scaccarium Ad ipsum pertinet custodia Sigilli regii quod est in Thesauro Sed indè nòn recedit nisi cum Praecepto Justiciarii that is Chief Justice of England that was a Viceroy ab inferiore ad superius Scaccarium à Thesaurario vel Camerario defertur ad explenda solum negotia Scaccarii quibus peractis in loculum mittitur loculus à Cancellario consignatur sic Thesaurario traditur custodiendus Item cùm necesse fuerit signatus sub omnium oculis Cancellario offertur nunquam ab ipso vel ab alio alias offerendus Item ad ipsum pertinet rotuli qui est de Cancellaria custodia per suppositam personam Another about the time of Edw. 1. Officium Cancellariae viro provido discreto ut Episcopo vel Clerico magnae dignitatis debet committi simul cum curâ majoris Sigilli regni cujus substituti sunt Cancellarii omnes in Anglia Hibernia Wallia Scotia Omnesque sigilli regii custodes praeter Custodem Sigilli privati IV. Of the Division and Conjunction of Lord Chancellor and Lord Keeper till an Old Act made that they should be One. BUT for that of Cancellaria emenda nòn est an example not long after was not only in truth to the contrary but entred also in Publique Records For Walter de Gray of the Family of the Greyes of Rotherfeld in Oxfordshire in 7th of King John Dat. Domino Regi quinque millia Marcarum pro habendâ Cancellariâ Domini Regis totâ vitâ suâ pro habendâ inde Charta Domini Regis So are the words of the Roll and the dayes of Payment are set down also and in the Rolls of the same year occurrs Hic recepit W. Gray Cancellaria Yet had he not alwayes the Custody of the Seal for in the Charter Roll of that Year after the taking his Chancellorship there is but one Patent or Charter dated by him as the fashion then was with Dat. per manum W. de G. Cancellarii nostri or the like Those that both follow and precede are Dat. per manum Hugonis de Welles Archidiaconi Wellensis who it seems kept the Seal and therefore he is expresly called the King's Chancellor in some Monks that writ of that time as others are for the same cause Neither was it ever heard of them to have the Chancellorship granted yet the Seal still to Remain in another hand For also while this W. de Gray was Chancellor Richard de Marisco whom Matthew Paris calls Chancellor too and others misreckon him for one had the keeping of the Seal the Roll is nono die Octobris anno regni Domini Regis 15. Liberavit Magister Richardus de Marisco Archidiaconus Richmond Northumbr Domino Regi Sigillum apud Ospring and then on the 22. of Decemb. following apud Windlesores liberatum fuit Sigillum Domino R. de Nevill deferendum sub Domino P. Wintoniensi Episcopo that was Peter de Roches or de Rupibus Chief Justice of England But this here out of the infallible testimony of Records touching W. de Gray differs not a little in time from the relation of the Monk notwithstanding the Seal thus committed to Ralf de Nevill who had it also under H. 3. in the beginning of his Raign totius Regni ordinante consensu consilio yet the Patent and other Charters and close Letters of the time are for the most part Per Rectorem Regni or Teste P. Wintoniensi Episcopo or T. H. de Burgo Chief Justice of England under H. 3. Per eundem or Per P. Wintoniensem Episcopum or the like And yet also in Rolls of that time where Nevill never at all makes the Teste or hath his name added mention is of him for other uses as belonging to the Office of Chancellorship as the delivery of the Counterbriefs to him and Fines c. mittend ' in Scaccarium according to the use of that age But although both Records and Story thus make R. de Nevill Lord Keeper from King John unto H. 3. yet had not he any Patent of either Chancellorship or Keepership till 11. H. 3. where both a Patent of the Keeping of the Seal for life either by himself or Deputy and another of the Chancellorship of England toto tempore vitae suae were made to him both bearing the same Date Yet after this also through divers oppositions in State against the goodness and Noble Carriage of this Ralf de Nevill the Seal was after unjustly taken from him and restored again as his former right And in 20 H. 3. the King would have had it from him Sed idem Cancellarius saith the Monk hoc facere renuit videns impetum Regis modestiae fines excedentem dixitque se nulla ratione hoc facere posse cum illud communi consilio Regni suscepisset Quapropter nec illud similiter sine communi assensu Regni alicui resignaret Yet in 22 H. 3. the King violently took it from him and committed it to one Godfrey a Templar and John of
