That such Councellors shall be sworn in the Kings presence to observe these Orders at which time the aforesaid Nine were sworn accordingly For the appointing of such as should be about the Kings person the Lords would not intermeddle and for the consideration of the Kings Houshold the Lords would talk with the chief Officers of the same to do therein to the Kings honor And to the third request the Lords granted The Lords and Commons granted to the King two Fifteens out of Cities and Burroughs and two Tenths of Cities and Burroughs the Fifteens of all Lands whatsoever and Tenths of all manner of goods to be levied between that and Candlemas ensuing so as the same with the Subsidy of Woolls be imploied upon the Wars onely and that some might be appointed thereunto All which was granted saving to the King the Custom of the Woolls 15000 l. wherein he was indebted for the Wars And thereupon William Wallworth and Iohn Philpot Merchants of London were appointed the keepers of such sums to the uses aforesaid whereto they were sworn before the King in open Parliament William de Monteacute Earl of Sarum complaineth that whereas E. 3. gave to William de Monteacutâ— Earl of Salisbury his Father in general tail with warranty the Castle Town and Honour of Denbigh with the Contrades of Roos Rowenox and Kiderminster and the Comote of Dimnael with the appurtenances in Wales the which in the life of E. 3. was recovered in the Kings Bench from the said Earl by Roger of Mortimer Earl of March Father to Edward now Earl by the name of the Land of Denbigh and for that error was in the same recovery he prayeth the examâ—nation of the same Record and restitution vide 2 R. 2.41 31. Whereupon Sir Iohn Cavendâ—sh Chief Justice of the Kings Bench by appointment brought out the same Record into the Parliament there to remain until the next Parliament and a Scire facias awarded against the said Edmond Earl of March then to be there and to abide further Order Sir Iohn de Cobham Knight Son of the Countess Marshal sheweth that where he for seisin gave to King Edw. 3. a ring of gold or the reversion of his Mannors of Wenden-hill Pademore Chederoldsenry Hanshardzolt Wedon in the Vale Draiton Beauchampe Nesseworth Sandresdon Holpesthorp Rolvesham in the County of â—olsonâ—n â—n Norfolk the good Mannor of Adington in Bucks and Rowlston in the County of Leicester to have all the premises after his decease to the King and of his Heirs of the Crown he now prayeth that according to his intent the same may remain in the Crown Whereupon the same Parliament divers Lords and others were examined openly who approved the gift in form
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. and prayeth as there is redress The Writ of Scire facias whereby the Earl of March was willed to appear The Sheriffs return upon the same Scire facias that the same Earl of March was not found within 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 and Alice his wife late called Dame Alice Perrers by a new Bill required that they by Edmund Clay and Robert Brown their
whom Master Robert Braybrook Bishop of London and Chancellor of England by the Kings Commandement declared the cause of the Parliament to be for maintenance of the Liberties of the Church and preservation of the Laws and peace of the Realm He then remembring them of that their ayde granted in the last Parliament and of the Kings purpose to go into Flanders for the voyage of the French sheweth that since the last Parliament heavy tydings came how that the French King had subjected to himself the whole Countrie of Flanders except the town of Gaunt and that upon the same tydings the King called a great Councell at Westminster by which it was determined that the King should pass in person to the rescue of the town of Gaunt if safely with his honour he might so do And that now therefore the Parliament was called for them to consult whether it were best for the King to go in person or to send an Army and for mony to maintain the same with the Circumstances thereto belonging the which he willed them fully to digest and to make speedy answer Receivers of Petitions for England Ireland Wales and Scotland Receivers of Petitions for Gascoyn and other places beyond the Seas and of the Isls. Tryers of Petitions for England c. as above Tryers of Petitions for Gascoyn c. as above After the Commons had debated two daies of the same charge they besought the King to assign to them certain Lords there named to consult with them which was granted albeit it were at the election of the King to assign these Lords or others at his pleasure This done after long deliberation of the Commons of the rates aforesaid they came into the Parliament before the Kings presence and the Lords when Sir Iames Pickering Knight then Speaker after the Common Protestation made saith That albeit the same their consultation did properly appertain unto the King and Lords yet since it stood with their pleasures to charge the Commons therewith their conceit was that it had been best for the King in person to have enterprized a voyage which for that it could not for sundry reasons be they thought it best that the Bishop of Norwich having the Popes Crosary for persecuting the Anti-Pope his adherents should take upon him the quarrell against the French whereof was hope of good success he saith further that considering the Scots were so lusty that they would not agree to any reasonable league whereby we are like to have war which to us was accounted most dangerous they thought that the King or his Uncles of Lancaster Cambridge or Buckingham might not in any wise be spared out of the Realm untill with Scotland some certain order were taken the which they spake not by way of Counsell but to shew their advise whereto for the King was said a little difference to be between Counsell and advise The proffer of the Bishop of Norwich to the King and Lords in the beginning of the Parliament was so as the King would gâ—ant to him the whole 15 th and 10 th granted in the last Parliament with the 6 d. of every pound Merchandize and 2 s. of every Tun of Wine lately granted for the safe keeping of the Seas he would in seasonable time of the year furnish and send into France 3000. men at Armes and 3000.

Archers well horsed and appointed the which offer was thought to be very good and for the Kings honour but for that the King would not adventure any of his Subjects unless he knew who should be Chieftain or Lievetenant considering the Bishops profession was to the contrary he required to know who they should be the Bishop would not that declare unless the King did assent to his offer saying that if it were his pleasure so to do they then should be as ready and worthy persons as any were within the Realm his own person and others of the bloud excepted The King accepteth his offer whereupon the Bishop gave him four names of them willing him to chose one such for his Lievetenant as he thought good After the view of whom the King would not seem to choose any Nobleman whereby it was assented that if the Bishop
