by our Kings and Privy Council without the Parliaments consent 8. That No Subsidies Aydes Tonnage Poundage Impositions or new Customs whatsoever lawfully might or could be granted imposed or levied on the Subjects but only in and by their Free Grants and Consents in Parliament upon urgent necessities on such conditions cautions limitations and for such ends uses purposes in such moderate proportions as our Parliaments thought fit to limit and prescribe And that all Customs Impositions New Taxes Extortions not thus granted imposed by Parliament were constantly complained of punished redressed by the next ensuing Parliaments 9. That our Kings usually returned the Lords and Commons special thanks for their Aids Subsidies though in Cases of publick Defence for their own and the Kingdoms safety and likewise gratified them with the Grants of general Pardons the answer of all their just Petitions Relief of their common Grievances Confirmations of their Liberties and enacting of wholesom New necessary Laws 10. That the first thing the Lords and Commons usually Petitioned for and our Kings Parliaments enacted in every Session was the Confirmation of the Great Charter the Charter of the Forest with other good Laws and publike Liberties and for redress of all Grievances Imprisonments and restraints repugnant thereunto which they still obtained 12. That our Parliaments in former ages have been very carefull to resume all the lands and revenues aliened from the Crown and to reunite them thereunto for the better support of our Kings defraying the publike expences of the Kingdom and the easing of the Subjects from Subsidies and Taxes as 1 R. 2. n● 48. 1 H. 4. n. 100. 6 H. 4. n. 14 15. 8 H. 4. n. 29. 52.1 H. 5. c. 9. 28 H. 6. n. 54. 29 H. 6. n. 17. 31 H. 6. c. 7. 35 H. 6. n. 47. 4 E. 4. n. 39 40. 7 E. 4. n. 8. 8 E. 4. n. 26. 13 E. 4. n. 6. and other Records here evidence Neither is this a practice peculiar unto England both in these Parliaments and in former ages but Universal through the world All Monarchs and States having held it for a general and universal Law That the publike Revenues should be holy sacred and inalienable either by Contract or prescription to the end that Princes should not be forced to overcharge their Subjects with Imposts or to seek any unlawfull means to forfeit their goods to supply their necessities most Kings and Princes being for this reason specially sworn and taking an Oath when they come to the Crown in no wayes to sell or make away the Revenues or Lands of the Crown and more particularly the Kings of France England Spain Poland Hungary The which is also observed in Popular and Aristocratical estates as in Venice the Cantons of the Swissers the Senate of Lucern even in later times and at this very day and in Athens and Rome it self in antient times where Themistocles and Cato the Censor caused all the publike Revenues to be seized on which through tract of time and sufferance of Magistrates had been sold unto or usurped by private men saying in their Orations That mortal men could never prescribe against the immortal God nor private men against the Common weal. Upon which grounds the Parliaments of France Poland and other Realms have frequently resumed the Crown Lands and Revenues sold● or given away to Princes of the blood Nobles and private persons such Sales and Gifts being meerly void in Law and destructive to the publike as you may read at large in Iohn Bodin his Common-wealth l. 6. cap. 2. Dr. Crakenthorps Defence of Constantine p. 169. to 172. The second Part of my Soveraign Power of Parliaments and Kingdoms p. 12. to 16. and the severall Authors there cited to this purpose All which particulars of late years discontinued and almost quite abandoned are now fit to be revived in all succeeding Parliaments 12. It is observable that our Parliaments now and then either out of hatred envy passion or compliance with some potent ambitious popular swaying Lords and Grandees have most unjustly illegally condemned executed banished fined sentenced oppressed sundry Innocent some well deserved persons without just cause trial or due conviction of any real Crimes whose Sentences thereupon have been justly questioned damned reversed in succeeding Parliaments not only out of Grace and Favour but Justice and common Equity of which you may finde sundry presidents in this Abridgement 13. That all such Parliaments and ambitious self-seekers in them who under a pretence of publike Reformation Liberty the peoples ease or welfare have by indirect surmises policies practices force and new devices most usurped upon the Lawfull Prerogatives of their Kings or the Persons Lives Offices Estates of such Nobles Great Officers and other persons of a contrary party whom they most dreaded maligned and which have imposed New Oaths or Engagements on the Members to secure perpetuate and make irrevocable their own Acts Iudgments and unrighteous proceedings have alwayes proved most abortive successeless pernicious to themselves and the activest Instruments in them the Parliaments themselves being commonly totally repealed nulled and the Grandees in them suppressed impeached condemned destroyed as Traytors and Enemies to the publike in the very next succeeding Parliaments or not long after witness the Parliaments of 15 E. 3.11 21 R. 2.38 39 H. 6. 1 H. 4. 1 E. 4. 1 R. 3. and some others here abridged 15 E. 3.

That Kings created and set up meerly by Parliaments and their own power in them without any true hereditary Title have seldom answered the Lords and Comons expectations in the preservation of their just Laws Liberties and answers to their Petitions yea themselves at last branded for Tyrants Traytors Murderers Usurpers their posterities impeached of High Treason and Disinherited of the Crown by succeeding Parliaments and King as you may here read at large in the Parliaments of King Henry 4. 1 H. 5. m. 8. 39 H. 6. 1 3 E. 4. 1 Rich. the 3d. and 1 H. 7. c. 6. From these 3. last Observations we may discern that as Parliaments are the best of all Courts Councils when duly summoned convened constituted ordered and kept within their legal Bounds● so they become the greatest Mischiefs Grievances to the Kingdom when like the Ocean they overflow their banks or degenerate and become through Sedition Faction malice fear or infatuation by divine Justice promoters of corrupt sinister ends or accomplishers of the private designs ambitious Interests of particular Persons under the disguise of publike Reformamation Liberty Safety Settlement according to that of Isay 19.13 14 15.

Inthronization of our Soveraign Lord King Richard the Third a roll of Parchment containing in writing certain Articles of the tenor under-written on the behalf and in the name of the Three Estates of this Realm of England that is to say of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal and of the Commons by name and divers Lords Spiritual and Temporal and of the Commons by name and other Nobles and notable persons of the Commons in great multitude was presented and actually delivered unto our said Soveraign Lord the intent and effect expressed at large in the same roll to the which roll and to the Considerations and instant Petition comprised in the same our said Soveraign Lord for the publique weal and tranquility of this Land benignly assented Now for as much as neither the said three Estates neither the said persons which in their name presented and delivered as it is aforesaid the said roll unto our said Soveraign Lord the King were assembled in form of Parliament by reason whereof divers doubts questions and ambiguities been moved and ingendred in the minds of divers persons as it is said Therefore to the perpetual memory of the truth and declaration of the same be it ordained provided and established in this present Parliament that the tenor of the said roll with all the Contents of the same presented as is abovesaid delivered to our abovesaid Soveraign Lord the King in the name and in the behalf of the said three Estates out of Parliament Now by the said three Estates assembled in this present Parliament and by authority of the same be ratified enrolled recorded approved and authorized to the removing of the recasions of doubts and ambiguities and to all other lawfull effects that shall now thereof ensue so that all things said affirmed specified desired and remembred in the said roll and in the tenour of the same under-written in the name of the said three Estates to the effect expressed in the said roll be of the like effect vertue and force as if all the same things had been so said affirmed specified and remembred in full Parliament and by authority of the same accepted and approved the Tenor of the said roll of Parchment whereof above is made mention followeth and is such To the High and Mighty Prince Richard Duke of Gloucester PLeaseth it your Noble Grace to understand the Considerations Election and Petition under-written of us the Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons of this Realm of England and thereunto agreeable to give your assent to the Common and publique weal of this land and to the comfort and gladness of all the People of the same First we consider how that heretofore in time passed this land for many years stood in great prosperity honour and tranquility which was caused for so much as the Kings reigning used and followed the advice and counsel of certain Lords Spiritual and Temporal and other persons of approved sagenesse prudence policy and experience dreading God and having tender zeal and affection to indifferent administration of Justice and to the Common and publique weal of the land Then our Lord God was dread loved and honoured Then within the land was peace and tranquility and among the Neighbours Concord and Charity Then the malice of outward Enemies was mightily resisted and repressed and the Land honourably defended with many great and glorious victories Then the intercourse of Merchants was largely used and exercised by which things above remembred the land was greatly inriched so that as well the Merchants as the Artificers and other poor people labouring for their living in divers Occupations had competent gain to the satisfaction of them and their housholds living without miserable and intollerable poverty But afterwards when as such had the rule and governance of this land delighting in adulation and flattery and led by sensuality and concupiscence followed the counsel of persons insolent vicious and of inordinate avarice despising the Counsel of persons good vertuous and prudent such as above be remembred the prosperity of this land decreased daily so that our felicity was turned into misery and our prosperity into adversity and the order of policy and the Laws of God and man confounded whereby it is likely this Realm to fall into great misery and desolation which God defend without due provision of convenable remedy be had in this behalf in all godly haste Over this among other things more special we consider how that the time of the reign of Edw. the 4. late deceased after the ungracious pretended mariage as all England hath cause to say made betwixt the said King Edw. and Elizabeth sometimes Wife to Sir Iohn Gray Knight late naming her self and many years heretofore Queen of England the order of politique rule was perverted the Laws of God and of Gods Church c. also the Laws of Nature and of England and also the laudable customs and liberties of the same wherein every Englishman is inheritor is broken subverted and contemned against all Reason and Justice so that the Land was ruled by self-will and pleasure fear and dread all manner of Equity and Law laid apart and despised whereof ensued many inconveniencies and mischiefs as Murders Extortions and Oppressions namely of poor and impotent people so that no man was sure of his life land or livelyhood ne of his wife daughter or servant every good Maiden and Woman standing in fear to be ravished and deflowred And besides this what discords inward battels effusion of Christian mens blouds and namely by the destruction of the Nobles bloud of this land was had and committed within the same it is evident and notorious through all this Realm unto the great sorrow and heavinesse of all true English-men And here also we consider how that the said pretended Mariage betwixt the above-named King Edward and Elizabeth Gray was made of great presumption without the knowing and assent of the Lords of this land and also by Sorcery and Witchcraft committed by the said Elizabeth and her Mother Iaquet Dutchesse of Bedford as the common opinion of the people and the publique voice and fame is throughout all this land and hereafter if the cause shall require shall be proved sufficiently in time and place convenient And here also we consider how that the said pretended Mariage was made privily and secretly without
