General Denomination of Commons as the Case plainly was in the Petition just now produc'd which is enter'd in the Rolls among the Petitions of the Commons tho' the Clergy joyn'd in it and as it probably was in that mention'd by Mr. Elsyng pag. 275. but with false Numbers where the Archbishops Bishops Earls Barons Et autres Gens de la Cominaltie d'Engleterre pray that they may let out to Farm the Wasts of Mannors held of the King in capite without his License which being the Case of many Inferior Clergy-men who held such Mannors of the Crown it is to be suppos'd that they also joyn'd in the Petition and are under the Autres Gens de la Cominaltie included But more express to this purpose is the Statute of the Clergy 18 E. 3. which recites * I take the words of it from Rastal with the more assurance because Pryn says he has compar'd the Print with the Record and that they agree Abridg. of Rec. p. 44. That the Prelates Great Men and Commons had advis'd and aided the King and afterwards the Great Men aforesaid grant so and so and the said Prelates and Procurators of the Clergy grant so and so whereas there is no Previous Mention of the Procurators of the Clergy but under the Title of Commons To these many other Records might be added which mention the Convocation-Clergy as of the Parliament and in it But that I may not load the Reader a few of these taken from the Beginning the Middle and the End of that Period we are considering shall suffice The rest will find as proper a place in another part of these Collections and thither therefore I shall refer the Reader for an account of them In the 10 E. 3. a Writ issu'd to the Archbishop of York reciting that the Clergy of Canterbury-Province had given the King a Tenth in Parliamento nostro Westminster and exciting Him and his Clergy to follow their Example † Cl. 10 E. 3. m. 36. dors The like Recitals are to be met with often in latter Writs as particularly in 43 E. 3. Cl. m. 6. Dors. which begins Rex Arch o. Cant. salutem Qualiter negotia nostra tam Nos Statum Regni nostri quam necessariam defensionem ejusdem concernentia ac onera nobis per hoc incumbentia Vobis Aliis in ultimo Parliamento nostro existentibus plenius exposuimus vos non latet Ad quorum onerum supportationem absque adjutorio fidelium nostrorum non sufficimus sicut scitis propter quod aliquod subsidium congruum in supportationem tantorum onerum à Vobis Aliis de Clero Dioeceseos Provinciae vestrarum in dicto Parliamento tunc existentibus nobis concedi petivimus c. And the same Passage in Terms recurs in another Letter of the same kind to the Archbishop two years afterwards Cl. 45 E. 3. m. 35. Dors. The Great Deed of Entail in the 8 Hen. 4. by which the Crown was setled on his Heirs male and which was witness'd by the Great Men and by Sir I. Typtot the Speaker in behalf of the whole Body of the Commons recites Quòd in Parliamento nostro apud Westminster 7 o. Die Iulii Anno Regni nostri 7 o. per nos de consensu avisamento omnium Praelatorum Magnatum Procerum ac Cleri Communitatis regni nostri Angliae fuerit Statutum Ordinatum And proceeds to make void what had been so ordain'd in these Memorable words Nos igitur ad instantem Petitionem eorundem Praelatorum Magnatum Procerum Cleri Communitatis supradictae de eorum omnium singulorum Voluntate Assensu expressis nec non nostrâ praesentis Parliamenti nostri auctoritate Statutum Ordinationem praedictam cassamus adnullamus Nec non ad eorundem Praelatorum Magnatum Procerum Cleri Communitatis praedictae Petitionem Rogatum ac de E●rum Consensu concordi auctoritate c. And this too Pryn has abridg'd * See Abr. of Records p. 454. in his way without taking notice of these Passages which are so Material and Instructive The Original Record with all its appendant Seals intire tho' the Deed it self be cancel'd is preserv'd still in the Cottonian Library † Inter Chartas in Pyxide Galba and affords a manifest Proof of the Interest which the Convocation Clergy at that time had in Parliament for it would be ridiculous to imagin that by Clergy in this Instrument thus plac'd between the Lords and Lay-Commons any other than the Convocation-Clergy are intended For near 140 years afterwards the Language I find continu'd the same in the Bishops Mandates to their Archdeacons for the Collection of Subsidies for thus speaks one of Bonner's ⸫ In Registro Cum Praelati Clerus Prov. Cant. in Parliamento hujus regni Angliae nuperrimè apud Westminster tento celebrato quoddam Subsidium sub certis modo formâ tunc expressis Illustrissimo c. Ex nonnullis rationabilibus causis dederint concesserint c. Oct. 10. 1543. And if I should beyond all this affirm that the Convocation attended the Parliament as One of the Three States of the Realm I should say no more than the Rolls have in express Terms said before me where the King is mention'd as calling Tres Status Regni ad Palatium suum Westm. viz. Praelatos Clerum Nobiles Magnates nec non Communitates dicti regni * Rot Parl. 9 H. 5. n. 15. And when more than Three States are mention'd as in the Antient Piece of the Manner of Holding Parliaments the Inferior Clergy is still reckon'd as one of them Judge Thirnyng therefore thus addresses himself to Richard the IId at his Deposition † See the Roll of Parliam Printed at the End of X. Script p. 2760.
