Philipps, Fabian, 1601-1690.	1664 (1664)	Wing P2011; ESTC R36674	82,806	136

to reckon it to his Landlord and demand an allowance for it The Counties and Places which did pay most towards the furnishing of the Kings Household provisions being those which abound most with them and were the greatest gainers by their neighbourhood to the constant residence of the King and his Courts of Justice And those which were more remote had but little charged upon them as all the 13 Shires of Wales but three hundred sixty pounds per annum Herefordshire One hundred eighty pounds per annum and that large County of York as big as three others but four hundred ninty five pounds per annum And may tell us how irrationall and uneven it will be for the people of England to rank with or above the care of their souls and Religion their endeavours to preserve their Liberties Customes and Privileges some of which are hard and severe enough as the forfeiture of the Widows Estates for life in their deceased Husbands Copyhold Estates of Inheritance for marrying a second Husband unless they shall come into the Court Baron of the Lord of the Manor riding upon a Black Ram and acknowledge such a fault committed or the custome of the Manor of Balshale in the County of Warwick where the Lord of the Manor was to divide the Goods and personall Estate of the deceased with his Wife and Children the custome of the Manor of Brails in the same County not to marry their Daughters or to make their Sons Priests without licence of the Lord of the Manor or of the Manor of Brede in the County of Sussex where the Widows are not to be endowed or have dower of any of the Lands of their first Husband if they shall marry again The custome of some Manors that the Copiholder shall not sell his Lands unto a Stranger untill he shall have first offered it unto the next of Kin or Neighbour ab oriente solis dwelling on the East side of him who giving as much as others would do for it are to have it or where the Copiholder is to give his Lord a certain summe of money towards his charges in the time of Warre or to forfeit his land if summoned unto the Lords Court doth wilfully make default or that the Lord or Lady of the Manor of Coveny in the County of Cambridge should have for every Fornication or Adultery committed in the Manor a Lecherwyte or penalty of 5 s. and 2 d. for selling a Hog without licence of the Lord of that Manor and five shillings for a Licence for any one of the Tenants Daughters to be married And yet do all they can to infringe and abolish those iust ancient and legall Rights and Privileges of the Kings which should protect and defend them and theirs and being rationabilia legitimè praescripta most reasonably and lawfully prescribed ought to be inviolabilia quia nec divino juri nec legibus naturae Gentium sive municipalibus contradicunt inviolable when they contradict not the Laws of God Nature and Nations and the Laws of the Land as if all that is to be found in our Laws and reasonable Customes should be only to protect the peoples Rights and Liberties and the inferiour Members of the Body Politique and to diminish and abrogate that of the Kings the superiour more noble and therefore the more to be respected or as if the power of a Prince should be the better when it is weakest a blind or decrepit pennyless Captain or Generall more usefull for their Warres then a Sampson a David or a Solomon as full of Riches as W●sdome and a Wooden Sword more for that purpose then one of Iron and Steel or that of Goliah How unjust as well as unreasonable it would be for the People of England to rack and raise the Rents and rates of their Lands and Commodities increase their own Revenues and prices of victuals and houshold provisions five or six to one more then it was when the Compositions for the Pourveyance was agreed upon in the third or fourth year of the Reign of Queen Elizabeth and lay the burden thereof only upon the King make him to be as an Amorite or Stranger in our Israel and his own dominions paying an enhaunced and oppressing Rate and Interest for food and provisions for himself and his houshold and to receive his rents and other monies due unto him after the old rate and buy at the new take little more then four pence instead of a shilling in every summe which is paid him and pay twelve pence for every groats worth which he hath occasion to buy and drive or inforce him by buying all by the penny and being left to the mercy of the Sellers to such a prejudiciall necessity or custome as would certainly undoe and ruine all the Nobility Gentry Clergy Tradesmen Mechanicks and People of England if they should but imitate him And would without the help of our S●●taries or Levellers have ere now destroyed and ruined the two famous Universities of Oxford and Cambridge those great Lights and Fountains of Learning in our Nation and have brought their Towring Colledges Halls and glorious Buildings into their Rubbidge or little more then a story to talk of as Travellers sometimes do of the heretofore University or Publique School of Stamford if the Act of Parliament in 18 Eliz had not better provided for them and ordained that a third part of the rents of the Lands belonging unto them should be for ever reserved and paid in Corn Malt and other Provisions at their election Or now to deny it him when as if he or his Father or Royall Progenitors could have foreseen any dislike or complaining of such an ancient and unquestionable Right of the Crown he or they might by a restraint of their Bounties and Indulgencies have made themselves not only savers but gainers by it or reserved more then that in their multituds of Grants and Fee-Farme Rents And did never as Cromwell that dissembling and devouring Hiena or Wolfe of the Evening dig or teare up by the roots as many of our Laws and Liberties as he could upon a pretence of defending and protecting them call our Magna Charta in the worst Latin that ever Brewer or Englishman spake Magna Fartae imprison the Lawyers that pleaded for the Peoples liberties and was so little sensible of their being tired or impoverished with Taxes as he could when he was lieutenant Generall of the Army of Reforming Harpies give some Gentlemen of the County of Bedford who complained of their heavy burdens and the poverty of that County no better an answer or ease then that he would never believe they were unable to pay Taxes as long as they could whistle when they did drive their Plows and Carts Nor did after the horrid Murder of his Father and his own Exile and sufferings by an almost twenty years Rebellion of the greatest part of his Subjects grown rich with the plunder and spoyl of
