that they might doe it All which he promiseth in the commons names that they shall not abuse but haue such regarde as most faithfull true and louing subiectes ought to haue to their prince The Chauncelor answereth in the princes name as apperteyneth And this is all that is doone for one day sometime two Besides the Chauncelor there is one in the vpper house who is called Clarke of the Parliament who readeth the bils For all that commeth in consultation either in the vpper house or in the neather house is put in writing first in paper which being once read he that will riseth vp and speaketh with it or against it and so one after another so long as they shall thinke good That doone they goe to an other and so another bill After it hath bin once or twise read and doth appeare that it is somewhat like as reasonable with such amendment in wordes and peraduenture some sentēces as by disputatiō seemeth to be amended In the vpper house the Chauncelor asketh if they will haue it engrossed that is to say put into parchment which doone and read the third time and that eftsoones if any be disposed to obiect disputed againe amōg them the Chauncelor asketh if they will goe to the question and if they agree to goe to the question then he sayth here is such a lawe or act concerning such a matter which hath béene thrise read here in this house are ye content that it be enacted or no If the not contentes be moe then the bill is dashed that is to say the lawe is annihilated and goeth no further If the contentes be the more then the Clarke writeth vnderneath Soit baille aux commons And so when they see time they send such bils as they haue approued by two or three of those which doe sit on the woolsacks to the commons who asking licence and comming into the house with due reuerence sayth to the speaker Master speaker my Lordes of the vpper house haue passed among them and thinke good that there should be enacted by Parliament such an act and such an act and so readeth the titles of that act or actes They pray you to consider of them and shew them your aduise which doone they goe their way They being gone and the doore againe shut the speaker rehearseth to the house what they sayde And if they be not busie disputing at that time in an other bill he asketh them streightwaie if they will haue that bill or if there be mo one of them In like maner in the lower house the speaker sitting in a seate or chaire for that purpose somewhat higher that he may see and be seene of them all hath before him in a lower seate his Clarke who readeth such bils as he first propounded in the lower house or be sent down from the Lords For in that point ech house hath equal authoritie to propounde what they thinke meete either for thabrogating of some law made before or for making of a newe All bils be thrise in three diuerse dayes read and disputed vpon before they come to the question In the disputing is a meruelous good order vsed in the lower house He that standeth vppe beareheadded is vnderstranded that he will speake to the bill If moe stande vppe who that first is iudged to arise is first harde though the one do prayle the law the other diswade it yet there is no altercation For euerie man speaketh as to the speaker not as one to an other for that is against the order of the house It is also taken against the order to name him whom ye doe confute but by circumlocution as he that speaketh with the bill or he that spake against the bill and gaue this and this reason And so with perpetuall Oration not with altercation he goeth through till he do make an end He that once hath spoken in a bill though he be confuted straight that day may not replie no though he would chaunge his opinion So that to one bill in one day one may not in that house speake twise for else one or two with altercation woulde spende all the time The next day he may but then also but once No reuiling or nipping wordes must be vsed For then all the house will crie it is against the order and if any speake vnreuerently or seditiouslie against the Prince or the priuie counsell I haue séene them not onely interrupted but it hath béene moued after to the house and they haue sent them to the tower So that in such a multitude and in such diuersitie of mindes and opinions there is the greatest modestie and temperance of spéech that can be vsed Neuerthelesse with much doulce and gentle termes they make their reasons as violent and as vehement the one against the other as they may ordinarily except it bee for vrgent causes hasting of time At the afternoone they kéepe no parliament The speaker hath no voice in the house nor they will not suffer him to speake in any bill to moue or diswade it But when any bill is read the speakers office is as brieflie and as plainely as he may to declare the effect thereof to the house If the commons doe assent to such billes as be sent to them first agréed vpon from the Lords thus subscribed Les commons out assentus so if the Lordes doe agrée to such billes as be first agréed vppon by the Commons they sende them downe to the speaker thus subscribed Les Seigneurs out assentus If they cannot agrée the two houses for euerie bill from whence soeuer it doth come is thrise reade in each of the houses if it be vnderstoode that there is any sticking sometimes the Lordes to the Commons somtime the Commons to the Lords doe require that a certaine of each house may méete together and so ech part to be enformed of others meaning and this is alwaies graunted After which méeting for the most part not alwaies either parte agrées to others billes In the vpper house they giue their assent dissent ech man seuerallie by himselfe first for himselfe and then for so manie as he hath proxie Whē y e Chaunceler hath demanded of them whether they will goe to the question after the bill hath béene thrise reade they saying only content or not content without further reasoning or replying and as the more number doeth agrée so it is agréed on or dashed In the neather house none of them that is elected either Knight or Burges can giue his voice to an other nor his consent nor dissent by proxie The more parts of them that be present onely maketh the consent or dissent After the bill hath béene twise reade and then engrossed and eftsoones reade and disputed on ynough as is thought the speaker asketh if they will goe to the question And if they agrée be holdeth the bill vp in his hande and sayeth as many as will haue this bill goe forwarde which is
