Jews Matth. Westm as so many locusts had before commanded whilst beyond the seas that the parts of Aquitain should likewise be swept of them Thus I have proceeded as an Historian keeping close to that way according as I am informed by our Writers And hereupon I am not ignorant that some there are and that not without reason who may deny their assent to what is said concerning their expulsion being induced to believe the contrary by greater authority then this report The Oracle of Law in his time pronouncing no Statute to have been made for their banishment Judge Cook in the second part of his Institutes upon the Statute De Judaismo affirms there was none but onely that which was for the taking avvay their Usury upon vvhich they left the Land as he conceives being so deprived of their Trade or way of life I have not arrived at that height of arrogance as to oppose so great a man especially in his own way but yet shall tender something to consideration as I am warranted by History whereby I hope I shall escape the hazard of being thought to break the bounds of modesty being found onely in that way in which at first I set forward Our Historians all with joynt consent affirm them to have been actually banished or expelled many of whose words I shall first set down and then see onely what they might seem further to hint unto us Matthew of Westminster Vide Balec●n descript Ang. an approved * Augusti 31. Judaeorum exasperans multitudo quae per diversas urbes castra fortia habitabat per retroacta tempora confidenter jussa est cum uxoribus parvulis suis unà cū bonis suis mobilibus cedere circa festum omnium Sanctorum quod eis pr● termino ponebatur quem sub poena suspendii transgredi non est ausa quorum numerus erat ut credebatur 16511. Exierat antea tale edictum à laudabili rege Anglorum in partibus Aquitaniae à quâ omnes Judaei pariter exulabant Author in his Flores Historiarum at the 1290. year of our Lord hath these words Aug. 31. Judaeorum exasperans multitudo c. On the third day of August the exasperating multitude of Jews which in times past had lived confidently in divers Cities and strong Towns is commanded with their wives children and moveables to depart England about the Feast of All-Saints which is set as the utmost limit of their continuance which under pain of hanging they durst not pass the number of whom was thought to be 16511. Such a Decree had gone out before from the commendable King of England in the parts of Aquitain out of which in like maner the Jevvs vvere banished So he Thomas Walsingham in his Hypodigma Neustriae writes thus Rex Angliae reversus de Wasconia c. * Rex Angliae reversus de Wasconia Londoniis solemniter reeipitur à clero omni plebe Qui Judaeos omnes eodem anne expellens de Anglia datis expensis in Gallias bona corum reliqua confiscavit The King of England being returned out of Gascoign is solemnly received by the Clergy and all the people at London who the same year expelling all the Jews out of England giving them to bear their charges over into France confiscated the rest of their goods and Polydor. Virgil in his seventeenth Book at the 1290. year of Christ delivers the matter thus Anno deinde qui c. * Anno deinde qui insecutus est Concilium Lond●● ad Westmonasterium ●a●e ●a● in qu● imgrimis agitata est Judaenum ejectio quorum erat per omn●m Angliam ing●● multitudo qu●●● oves ab●ae●●ts segregarentur Itaque publico edicto jussum est ut ●atra 〈◊〉 dies ●mpe● abi●ent cum bonis illi jussis concilii parent● ali●●●● dis esserunt Then in the year which followed a Council was held at Westminster in which first of all is debated the ejection of the Jews of which there was throughout England a great multitude that so the sheep might be separated from the goats Therefore it is commanded by a publique Edict that within a few days all should depart with their goods they obeying the command of the Council went divers ways thus far Polydor who useth the word Concilium for that we call Parliament it with other words being as a great * 〈◊〉 R. Cotton Antiquary observes an usual term in ancient Authors for that thing Polychronicon lib. 7. cap. 38. saith the Jews were put out of England and never came again Stow in his Annals writes that this year all the Jews were banished this Land for which the Commons gave a fifteenth In like manner writes Hollnshead expresly that they were banished by act of Parliament and that a Fifteenth was granted to the King to have them expelled that all their goods not moveable were confiscate with their Tallies and Obligations all their other moveables of gold and silver the King licensed them to convey with them that they could never since obtain a priviledge to return and with these concurreth Speed who tels us that the King to purge England whither he was now returned from such corruptions and oppressions as under which it groaned and not neglecting therein his particular gain banished the Jews out of the realm confiscating all their goods leaving them nothing but money to bear their charges * Florilegus Dunstable Others might be brought who testifie the same thing neither is there any Historian that I know who denies it Now strange it is that all these should be misacquainted and mistaken that those of the near adjoyning times to their departure should so grosly erre and that those who lived in the same time should deliver to posterity so great a falshood For if any had reported their departure to have been voluntary it might have been found out by some of those who succeeded and had their gatherings from them Matthew of Westminster sets down the day the Act should be made for their expulsion mentions the time set as the utmost bound of their continuance and withall the penalty or punishment they were to suffer even hanging if found hereafter and that the King had made such a decree before for banishing them the parts of Aquitaine a strange thing that he should so grosly erre in so many circumstances Walsingham writes that the King returned home that he was met by the Clergy and all the people and that this year they were expelled Polydor * Illi jussis concilii parentes alii aliò discesserunt saith it was by Parliament by its publike Edict and that they obeying its commands departed hinting unto us the end that so the sheep might be separated from the Goats Polychyronicon saith they were put out of Stow that they were banished out of England Holinshead and Speed use the same term this last adding also the Kings design which was to purge the Land from such corruptions
