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.

Quomodo stabit regnum c. The which text as to the realm of England he divided into two parts the one by way of admiration the other by way of question He noted causes three viz. want of Faith the which was the root of all vice Eò quod sine side impossibile est placere Deo the second the want of due Fear being the author of every good mind Nam qui nihil timet negliget the third for want of upright Justice being the pillar of every Kingdome namely ex Iustitia sequitur pax ex pace rerum abundantia maxime procreatur In place of which three vertues he shewed that within this realm three vices reigned namely Infidelity by errors and heresies Obstinacy instead of fear and Oppression in place of Justice Through Infidelity he shewed how Iean and the late Kingdome of Bohemia were destroyed Fear he divided into two parts the one spirituall and vertuous as fearing God and man for God the other carnall and vicious as whereby murmure and rebellion spring which procured destruction such as happened to Chore Dathan and Abiram Numb 16. He also proveth that for oppression ensued transferring of kingdomes according to Eccles. 10. regnum alienum in regnum transfertur propter inâ—usâ—icias injurias So farre to the first by way of admiration to the second by way of question He affirmed that if true Faith due Fear and upright Justice might be restored there was then no doubt but that this kingdome should flourish He further sheweth that as the Prince was bound to defend the Subjects and to keep peace so ought the Subjects to minister to the Prince liberally of their goods to the atchieving of the same to which end the same Parliament was called wherefore he willed the Commons to choose and to present their Speaker the next day unto the King Receivers of petitions for England Ireland Wales and Scotland Receivers of petitions for Gascoyne and other places beyond the seas and of the Isles Tryers of petitions for England c. as above Tryers of petitions for Gascoyne c. as above On Friday the second day of the Parliament the Commons by certain of their fellowes declared unto the Lords how they had chosen one William Allington Esquire to be their Speaker and required respite for presenting of him untill the Monday following which was granted On Monday the sixteenth of September the Commons presented before the king and Lords the aforesaid William whose excuse being refused he with the common protestation was allowed The twelfth day of December the Commons by the assent of the Bishops and Lords granted to the King one whole Desme and one fifteen to be levyed of the laity It was enacted that the King and his Councell should treat with the Duke of Burbon touching his ransome For that the King the sixth day of November in this present year in the day of Coronation had taken upon him the protection and defence of this realm It seemeth good to the Bishops and Lords upon good advise that the name and power of Protector and Defendor granted to the Dukes of Bedford and Gloucester should from the same day of Coronation utterly cease and that they the said Dukes should have the name of principall Counsellors any order to the contrary notwithstanding the which name of Protector and Defender as touching his own person the Duke of Bedford in full Parliament did release so alwayes as the same should not hurt the title of Duke of Bedford The twenty ninth day of December the Commons at the Contemplation of Henry Bishop of Winchester and new made Cardinall granted one other Desme and fifteen to be levied of the laity Note the title of the said Cardinall is as followeth Reverendissimus in Christo Pater Dominus Henricus permissione divina titl Sancti Eusebii Presbyterii Cardinalis de Anglia nuncupatus The same Commons do also grant to the King Tonnage and Poundage to continue unto the next Parliament The Chancellor by the Kings commandement declareth how that the King by the assent of the Bishops and Lords had prorogued the same Parliament from the said twentieth day of December unto the Monday next after the feast of St. Hillary then ensuing at Westminster aforesaid For that no Cardinall is to be of any Kings Councell but at his own pleasure the Bishops and Lords assented that humble request should be made to the said Cardinall to vouchsafe to be made of the Councill with this protestation that the said Cardinall should absent himself in all affaires and Councills of the King wherein the Pope or See of Rome was touched upon which request â—o made the Cardinall took upon him the same in form aforesaid The King by common consent hath given to the Lord Talbot being prisoner in France as towards his importable ransome Sir William Bircham Knight a French Prisoner if that the same Sr. William were not to be impeached for the death of the Duke of Burgundy And it

A time to all such as will exhibit any Petition Receivers of Petitions for England Ireland Wales Scotland Gascoin and other Forein Isles and Parts Tryers of the Petitions aforesaid Sir Thomas Drayton is appointed Clerk of the Parliament For that sundry of the Lords and Commons were not at this day come the Parliament was continued until Tuesday On which Tuesday for that knowledge was given that Sir Bartholmew de Burghurst Sir Iohn Darcy Lord Chamberlain Mr. Iohn Thoresby Clerk of the Privy-Seal and Mr. Iohn Charlton were arrived and come Messengers from the King at Callis and that they meant to be at the Parliament the Wednesday next the Parliament continued untill Wednesday On which day Declaration was made That since the King by his passing over the Sea and his attempt there was uncertain of his estate the Parliament was called according to the success of things there the like here might be established for the safety of the King the common peace of the whole Realm and for the avoiding of false money by which the whole Realm was damnified after which they shewed the Kings Letters Patents of credit the same being expressed by word and dated before Callice After the understanding of these Letters the same Bartholomew for and in the name of himself and of his Colleagues in the presence of the Keeper of England and of the whole estate declared the good success of the King since his arrival at Hoges in Normandie as in surprizing of many Towns and Castles of War as well at Cane as elsewhere and aso of the victory at Orestlie where the power of France was discomfited And further how the King was come before Callice from whence he meant not to depart untill by the help of God he gained the same after which he would pursue the enemies without return untill the wars were ended He further sheweth an Order between the Duke and Nobles of Normandie The Order aforesaid is particularly recited and is called The Ordinance of Normandie containing the effect following That the Duke of Normandy should passe as Chieftain with other Nobles of the same into England with forty thousand men at Arms Knights Esquires and men of good estate and forty thousand footmen An Order for bearing of their charges for keeping of the Sea and for the Duke to remain with his power in England ten weeks And it is agreed That in case the Realm of England be by the same voyage conquered that then the said conquest shall altogether be to the name and honour of the said Duke and all that which the King of England hath shall remain to the said Duke Knights and Lords And all the same which belongeth to the Nobles and secular persons of England shall be
that the King will be pleased that the same charge may be let fall and to write his Letters to the Collectors thereof that it cease All Charges supposed in this Article are laid down except Two shillings upon the Sack which is to endure until Easter next And forasmuch as these Charges were ordained for safe Conduct of Merchandises into the Realm and forth to Foreign parts upon which Conduct the King hath spent much which before Michaelmas cannot woll be levied it seemeth that the levying of it for so small a time to come should not be grievous That where the Plaintiff in Writs of debt or trespass doth record he may have execution of the Land which the Defendant had the day of the Writ purchased This cannot be done without a Statute upon which the King will advise with his Councel and will do that which he shall think best for his people Whereas in a Statute made Anno primo of the King it is contained that none of the Lords Councellors or Ministers shall maintain any plea or quarrel depending in Court or elsewhere within the Realm in which Statute no pain is in certain ordained for the Offendors that in such case certain pain may by Parliament be proved Of some Articles comprised in this Petition certain names are ordained and where no pain is provided in certain by Law is intended fine and ransome to the King according the quantity of the trespass That whereas some Justices have lately adjudged matters before them to be Treason and accroachment of royall power that it may be be declared in this Parliament what incroachment of royall power shall be whereby the Lords shall lose the profit of forfeiture of their Tenants and the partie arraigned the benefit of Clergy In case where such Judgements are given the points of such Treason and accroachment are given or declared by the same judgement Whereas in the Parliament holden in the 17 year of the Kings reign and in the Parliament next before this it was accorded and granted by the King and his Councel that for the great charges which the Commons did bear yearly as by Fifteenths Ninths and Wools Commissions should not go out of the Chancery as for hobeleries archeries taking oâ— victuals nor Commissions to extend the Lands dez certeniz getz beyond the sum of a certain value nor to levie other charges upon the people if the same were not granted in Parliament which Ordinances are holden for nothing whereby the people are wholly impoverished wherefore they prayed the King to be pleased to take pitty of his people and to affirm and hold those Ordinances made to his people in Parliament And that if such Commissions go forth of the Chancery without assent of Parliament such as find themselves grieved may have Writs to â—urcease according to the said Ordinance and that the people be not bound to obey such Commissions If any such imposition be made the same was made upon great necessity and with the assent of the Prelates Counts Barons auters grauntz and some of the Commons then present notwithstanding the King will not that such undue Impositions be drawn into consequence but will that the Ordinances in this Petition mentioned be well kept And as touching the taking of Victuals saving the Kings prerogative his will is That agreement be made with such of whom the same are and shall be taken Because of Franchises have for time past been so largely granted by the King that almost all the Land is infranchised to the great arereisement estenysement of the Common Law and to the great oppression of the people That the King will restrain such grants hereafter The Lords will take Order that such Franchises as shall be granted shall be with good advice That Letters granted at the request dez gentz and others de sautz le large nostre le Roy be not hereafter granted that yet the Law be done according to the Statute The King is pleased that the Statute of Northampton shall be kept Whereas false money of Bursborns doth daily increase by reason of the Justices of Assize appointed to try find out and determine such falsity come so late and keep Assize so short that they cannot try find out and determine the said falsity That the King will provide remedy therefore and that the offendors may be drawn and hanged as falsifiers of money as in the last Parliament was ordained and that such Ordinance may hold as well for time past as time to come and that the King will gant no pardon for such falsifying and Treason and if any be granted that the same may be disallowed before the Justices The King is pleased that Gentz de la terre which Justices and others to them called shall be assigned to enquire hear and determine the points contained in the Petition and to do therein rightâ— and to keep the Peace in the Countries where they shall be assigned que les guerres inquisitionse facent de temps passe de temps pius And it is not meant that such Charter shall be granted hereafter le greement and if any have in time past been granted the Justices before they shall be granted may advise with the King before they allow thereof That whereas divers Tallages and Subsidies have been granted to the King in aid of his business in divers business for levying whereof three or four of the best in every County have by good Councel been assigned who have done the same in good manner according to their Commissions and have their accounts fully in the Exchequer according to Law and afterwards evill Berrectors have suggested to the Court and have caused some of the Collectors to come again into the Exchequer to receive the accounts before given and allowed not fuffering them to acquit themselves nor to take issue according to Law but do there keep them from day to day and from Term to Term and do restrain them by Mainprise contrary to Law not suffering them to make Attornies as the Statute willeth that all men may make Attornies in all cases where there is appeal wherefore the Commons pray that such accusers be not heard in Court to accuse and keep men without due Information or Indictment and that they may make Attornies in such cases If Account be given in which by Information of good and lawfull persons concealment or other default or recitation is It is reason that it shall be recited And the Lords will that hanging such retainment they may make Attornies so as the Attorney be answerable to the Lords and all others that complain to the end that if such concealment or other default be found the Atturnies Client may have the penalty anciently used
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.
