Prynne A Legall and Historicall Vindication of the Fundamentall Rights and Laws of England CHAP. III. I Have in the two precedent Chapters fully proved That the Kingdome and Freemen of England have some antient hereditary just Rights Liberties Franchises Laws and Customes properly called Fundamentall together with a Fundamentall Government no wayes to bealtered undermined subverted directly or indirectly to the publick prejudice underpain of high Treason in those who shall attempt it especially by fraud force or armed power and given you likewise the heads of the chiefest of them in X brief Propositions I shall now in the third place proceed in a Chronologicall way to present you with a large Historicall Catalogue of the severall Nationall Parliamentall Legall Martiall publick and private contests great Charters Lawes Statutes Votes Declarations Remonstrances Claimes Records Evidences Writs Oathes Vowes Protestations Covenants Excommunications Confirmations Judgments Resolutions and principall Authorities in all ages both under the antient Britons Saxons Danes Normans and English Kings till our present times plentifully undeniably evidencing declaring vindicating asserting establishing perpetuating these Fundamentall Hereditary Rights Liberties Priviledges Franchises Customes Lawes and abundantly manifesting the extraordinary zeal courage wisdome and vigilancie of our Ancestors to defend preserve and perpetuate them to posterity without the least violation or dimin●tion I shall begin with the highest Antiquities extant in our Histories pertinent to my Theame and so descend to those of punier times relating all of them for the most part except here and there where the identity of the subject matter and desire of brevity occasion me to vary somewhat from this intended method according to their Antiquity and Chronologicall series of time referring such particulars of them as relate to each of the forementioned X. Propositions in the second Chapter only with figures in the margin designing the severall Propositions unto which they have more immediate reference without reducing these Historicall Collections to distinct heads under every Proposition in order as I have proposed them which course would have interrupted my Chronologicall Method and caused a frequent repetition of sundry passages Charters Acts Oathes Records relating to severall of these Propositions for the most part not to one of them alone which I shall now avoid by affixing the number of single Proposition whereunto they refer in the margin eachwherewith the Reader may easily compare them with more delight and as much satisfaction as if I had marshalled them all in rank and file under those distinct Propositions whereunto they have relation As for those Historicall passages which contain the severall publick Parliamentall or Martiall contests of our Ancestors with their Kings and other invading Nations for their Liberties Rights Laws Customes and great Charters in the generall I have annexed no figures unto them every of them for the most part referring to all or most of these Propositions in grosse though not particularly specified in these contestations for them And because I intend for the better confirmation of our antient Fundamentall Liberties Priviledges Freedomes Rights Lawes Government and greater benefit of Posterity briefly to passe through the severall successive Reigns and Dominions of the Britons Romans Saxons Danes Normans as well as of our English Kings since the Conquest as we usually style it whereon I shall principally insist as of greatest nearest concernment to us of this generation I shall for order sake divide this Chapter into distinct Sections the rather because the largenesse of it may occasion the Stationer to publish it as he did the two first Chapters in severall parts as they shall be Printed the compleating of the whole requiring longer time in respect of my remotenesse from the Presse and the largenesse thereof then the present usefulnesse of each part and the longing desires of some Readers after it would willingly allow for its publication in one whole volume which every mans purse who desires it cannot so easily purchase in these necessitous times as it may do in parcels SECTION I. Concerning the Ancient Britons contests for their Liberties and Lawes against Tyrants and Invaders of their Fundamentall Government Rights and of their great Councels till the Romans Couquest IT is agreed by all our Historians that the Britons were the originall known Inhabitants of this Iland from whom it was stiled Britain but from what forrain Nations the Britons descended our Antiquaries differ in opinion our later writers herein dissenting from those of former ages with whom I must begin Most of our antient Historians and the whole famous Parliament held at Lincolne Anno 28 E. 1. in the learned Letter therein compiled and agreed to be sent by the King to Pope Boniface to prove the subjection and homage of the Kingdome and Kings of Scotland from time to time to the Kings of England Iure Dominii as Supreme Lords thereof by Historicall precedents in former ages collected out of all Histories and Records then extant unanimously record That the Britons originally descended from the Trojans that they arrived here in Britain about the dayes of Ely the Priest under Brute their first King who divided it at his death into three distinct parts and Kingdomes between his three Sons leaving that part thereof now called England then Loegria to Loerinus his eldest Son and his Heirs as an hereditary not elective Kingdome according to the custome of the Trojans Petebal enim Troana consuetudo ut dignitas Hereditatis primogenito perbeni●et as our Historians and that whole Parliament of 28 E. 1. resolve So that an Hereditary Kingdome and Monarchicall Government by Kings was the originall Fundamentall Government setled in this Iland by Brute and that as well in those parts thereof since called Scotland and Wales as England which all our Historians asserting this originall of the Britons unanimously attest with that answer which Diana gave unto Brute before his arrivall in Britain when she directed him to come and seat himself therein further evidenceth if we may give any credit hereunto Brute sub occasu Solis trans Gallica Regna Insula in Oceano est undique clausa mari Insula in Oceano est habitata Gigantibus olim Nunc deserta quidem Gentibus apta tuis Hanc pete namque tibi sedes erit illa perennis Hic fiet natis altera Troja tuis Hic de prole tua reges nascentur ipsis Totius terrae subditus orbis erit With this concurreth the more authentick testimony of Cornelius Tacitus The Britons heretofore were governed by Kings now they are divided by petty Princes into Parties and Factions with that of Pomponius Mela Britain bringeth forth Nations and Kings of Nations The very first act that made their first King Brute most famous before his arrivall in Britain was his delivering of 7000 Trojans his native Countrymen with their wives and children from their Servitude and Bondage under King Pandrasus and the Graecians whom he vanquished and took Prisoner in Battle
