The same William surmised that the said Sir Iohn being of power sent for him to London where he by duress of Imprisonment enforced the said William to surrender his Estate to him And by Recognizance therefore the same Sir Iohn excuseth himself for that the Grant was made unto him the which was not allowed for that the said VVilliam was not put out by due process of Law Another matter was objected against the said Sir Iohn for that during such time as he was Steward of the Kings House he should cause sundry men to be attached and to come before him as before the Kings Councel in places where he pleased where being out of Councel he caused men to answer as to things before the Councel That he as Steward having thereby authority onely within the Verge did notwithstanding cause sundry to be attached out of the Verge as Iohn Goddard and others making them to answer in the Marshalsâ—y of things done out of the Verge and other-some committed to the Tower of his own Authority as Iohn Sibill Edmond Urdsales and others That he had of his own authority against the Justices commandment discharged out of Newgate Hugh Lavenham Purveyor who had appealed sundry men of Felony That he bargained with Sir Nicholas Lovayn for the keeping of the Mannor of Rainham in Kent the which the same Sir Nicholas claimed to hold during the minority of the Son and Heir of Iohn Saunton where the said Iohn of Lee knew that the said Mannor was holden of the King in chief as of the Castle of Dover Of all which points for that the same Sir Iohn could not purge himself he was commanded to the Tower of London there to remain as prisoner until he had made Fines at the Kings will And commandment given to Sir Allen of Buxhal Constable of the Tower to keep him accordingly And so the Lords and Commons departed After that the said Sir Iohn being brought to Westminster before the Kings Councel and being there demanded of the same William Lattimer made answer that as freely as the King had granted to him the Wardship aforesaid so freely did he surrender the same into the Kings hands Whereupon by the same Councel it was ordered that the Wardship aforesaid should be reseised into the Kings hands and delivered unto the said William Lattimer according to the Grant made to the said Bishop and that all Recognizances and conveyances made by the said William to the said Sir Iohn should be void saving the Kings right Anno Quadragessimo Tertio Edwardi Tertii The Parliament holden at Westminster in the Octaves of St. Trinity in the 43.

But because Love had the day before confessed the contrary before two Knights of the House he was committed to prison To the receiving of wages the same Lord fully cleereth himself notwithstanding judgement of Imprisonment and losse of lands and goods and offices was given of him as on others before and that he should make restitution of the ninety five pounds to the Executors of the said Ladie The King ordaineth that from thenceforth no woman should for maintenance pursue any matter in the Kings Courts and namely Alice Perrers upon losse of all that they have and banishment for ever out of the Realm An Order that the Prior of Ecclefield an alien should exhibit his Bill of Complaint against the Lord Latimer for the Parsonage of Ecclefield which the said Lord had wrongfully caused to be recovered against the said Prior.

have also seduced Egypt even they that are the stay of the Tribes thereof The Lord hath mingled a spirit of Perversenesse in the midst thereof and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof as a drunken man staggereth in his vomit Neither shall there be any work for Egypt which the head or tail branch or rush may doe So as we may justly conclude with that of Psal. 118 8 9. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in Princes yea or Parliaments Wherefore Put not your trust in Princes in Parliaments nor in any son of man in whom there is no help yea Cease ye from man whose breath is in his nostrils for wherein is he to be accounted of For although usually in a way of ordinary providence In the multitude of Counsellers there is safety yet God many times in justice Leadeth the greatest Counsellers yea Parliaments themselves away spoyled and maketh the Iudges fools so that though they associate themselves together they shall be broken in pieces and though they take Counsel together yet it shall come to naught when God is not with but against them whereof we have seen many late sad domestick experiments to wean us from Deifying Idolizing of or over-much confiding in or depending upon Parliaments which have been so subject to Errors Deviations Abortions in former and later times Touching the Original of electing and sending Knights Citizens and Burgesses to our Parliaments it is very obscure and dubious Sir Robert Cotton the Author of this Abridgment In his brief Discourse concerning the Power of the Peers in Parliament in point of Iudicature affirms and proves That the Generale Placitum Universalis Synodus Magnum Commune Concilium of the Realm now stiled a Parliament was held Ceram Episcopis Magnatibus suis Or Coram Episcopis Principibus Regni in praesentia Regis This Great Court or Council consisting of the King and Barons ruled all affairs of State and controlled all Inferiour Courts Causes being referred and transferred out of the County and other Courts unto it propter aliquam dubitationâ—m quae emergit cum Comitatus nescit dijudicare as Glanvil in King Henry the seconds reign informs us and Bracton Britton with sundry Statutes and Records of later date with the antient presidents of Ethelwold Bishop of Wilton his sute against Leoftine and Q Edgin against Goda in the time of King Ethelredâ— the sute between the Bishop of Winton Durham in the time of St. Edward and one in the 10. year of the Conqueror evidence The power of the Peers in this Courtt and of certain Officers as the Steward Constable and Marshal fixed upon Families in fee for many ages was so transcendent that it seemed to be set to bound in the execution of Princes wills and grew fearfull to Monarchy Hereupon King Henry 3. when the daring Earl of Leicester was slain at the battel of Evesham by the dear experience himself had made at the Parliament at Oxford in the 40. year of his reign and the memory of the many streights his Father was driven unto especially at Runny-mead near Stanes wisely began to lessen the strength and power of his great Council weakning that hand of power which they carried in the Parliaments by commanding the service of many Knights Citizens and Burgesses to that Council NOW BEGAN saith he THE FREQUENT SENDING OF WRITS TO THE COMMONS THEIR ASSENTS not only used in Money Charge and making Laws For before ALL ORDINANCES PASSED BY THE KING PEERS but THEIR CONSENTS IN JUDGMENTS OF ALL NATURES WHETHER CIVIL OR CRIMINAL For proof whereof he produceth some succeeding presidents out of records When Adomar that proud Prelat of Winchester the Kings half Brother had grieved the State with his daring power he was exiled by the joynt consent of the King the Lords and Commons and this appeareth expresly by the Answer to the Letter sent by Pope Alexander the 4th expostulating a Revocation of him from Banishment because he was a Church-man and so not subject to Lay Censures In this the Answer is Si Dominus Rex et regni Majores hoc vellent COMMUNITAS TAMEN IPSIUS INGRESSUM IN ANGLIAM JAM NULLATENUS SUSTINERENT The Peers subjoyn this answer with their names and Petrus de Montford VICE TOTIUS COMMUNITATIS as SPEAKER or PROLOCUTOR OF THE COMMONS For by this stile Sir Io.
