Stockenhame Nicholas 103 Meynill Lord of Wherleton and John 104 Paynell Lord of Otteleye Devoutly Kiss your Holyness 's Feet The Holy Mother Church of Rome by whose Ministry the Catholick Faith is directed doth proceed as we firmely believe and hold with that Maturity of Counsel in her determination that she not prejudice any but like a Tender Mother is willing to preserve the Rights of every particular person inviolable as well in other places as within her own precincts Wherefore a full Parliament being Call'd by our Soveraign Lord Edward by the Grace of God the Renowned King of England at his City of Lincoln He our said Soveraign did cause to be Publickly produc'd and faithfully Interpreted to us certain Apostolical Letters received from You concerning some affairs relating to the Condition and state of the Kingdom of Scotland Which having heard and well understood we found that contained such things as seem'd very strange to us and such as were never heard of before For we know that from the very most Holy Father and 't is well known throughout this Realm of England and not unknown to other places that from the very begining of the Realm of England the Soveraign and Direct Dominion of the Kingdom Scotland has been injoyed by the Kings of England both in the times of the Britains and also of the English And that they have been in the possession or as Good of the Supremacy and direct Dominion of the said Kingdom of Scotland in all succeeding Ages Neither hath the said Kingdom at any time in Temporals belonged or doth belong by any manner of Right unto your Church of Rome aforesaid but in truth the said Kingdom of Scotland hath belonged unto the Ancestors of our aforesaid Soveraign Lord Kings of England and of old time hath been Feudatory to them alone Neither have the King and Kingdom of Scotland been subject or usually under any one else but the Kings of England Neither have the Kings of England given in any Answer or ought to give in any Answer in reference to their Rights in that Kingdom OR ANY OTHER THEIR TEMPORALATIES before any Judge Ecclesastical or Secular by reason of the Boundless Preeminence of their State and Royal Dignity and Custome Irrefragably observed throughout all Ages Wherefore after a serious Debate and Consideration of the Contents of your aforesaid Letters The Common Joynt and Unanimous consent of all and every of us was is and by the help of God shall be Resolutely for ever That our aforesaid Soveraign Lord the King Ought in no wise to give in any Answer in Judgment before you touching His Rights in the Kingdom of Scotland OR ANY OTHER HIS TEMPORALITIES nor by any mean to submit to your Jurisdiction or so much as to yeild that his said Rights be brought into Question or to send any Proctor or Messenger to appear before you in this Business Especially since the doing of the Premisses would manifestly tend to the disinheriting of the Rights of the Crown of the Kingdom of England and of the Royal Prerogative and to the notorious subversion ot the State of this Realm and likewise to the Prejudice of the Liberties Customs and Laws of our Progenitors All which we are bound by Oath duely to Observe and Defend and which we will Maintain with the utmost of our Power and by the help of God with all our Might and Main Defend Moreover we do not Permit or in the least will Permit for 't is not in our power neither ought we that our said Lord the King should do or in the least wise attempt to do any of the premises so strange so unlawful Prejudicial and otherwise unheard of though He would himself Wherefore we with Reverence humbly beseech your Holyness that you would Gratiously permit the said Soveraign Lord our King who is as good a Catholick and as much devoted to the Church of Rome as any Prince of Christiandom Peaceably to Injoy His Rights Liberties Customes and Laws aforesaid without my Trouble or Diminution and so to remain untoucht for the future In Witness whereof we have set our Seals to these presents as well for our selves as for the whole Commonalty of the Kingdom of England aforesaid Dated at Lincoln the 12 day of February in the year of our Lord One Thousand Three Hundred A breif account of 〈◊〉 popes Pretences of a Civl Right to the Crown of England and the Answer thereunto THat the Pope of Rome hath for sume Ages last past pretended to a Soveraign Right over Christan Kings and Princes cannot be unknown to any who are acquainted with the writings of their most approved Authors the Decrees of their Councils or the Instanccs of such usurped authority recorded in Histories for these Five Hundred years The judgment of their Licenced Authors their Councils and their Laws in this Case is excellently published by the Learned Pen of the Right Reverend Bishop of Lincoln and that the same Doctrine hath been by them generally received I can bring no greater proofs than their common practise recorded in History How many Emperours Kings and Soveraign Princes have been de Facto deposed by them how many great Massacres and private Murders have been Encouraged and Defended how many Tortures and unheard of Cruelties how many Treasons and Damnable Conspiracies to the subversion of whole Kingdoms have been contrived and some executed by Jesuits and other Emissaries of Rome would require a large Volumn to relate I shall refer the Reader to a few

Sir Thomas Moor who could not want all advantages of informing himself in affairs of this nature denies it his words are these Some Writers say that King John made England and Ireland Tributary to the Pope by the grant of a thousand Marks we dare surely say again that this is untrue and that all Rome neither can shew such a grant nor ever could and if they could it were right nought worth For never could any King of England give away the Realm to the Pope or make the land Tributary if he would nor no such money is there paid nor never was These are the words of that great States-man who was no enemy to the Popes Authority But granting there was something done to this purpose in the prese 〈…〉 Peers and without the Consent of Any as Mat. Paris a Monk of Saint Albans who lived at that time acquaints us I shall take my Second Argument to invallidate this Title from the words of Sir Thomas Moor before cited for if they could at Rome shew any such grant yet it were right nought worth for never any King of England could give away the Realm to the Pope nor make the Land Tributary if he would And herein agree the Learned Grotius Bodinus and other Lawyers and the Barons of this Realm were obliged by their Oaths g Lambert Apx. p. 170. lib. 50. de obsequiv erga Regem lege 59 p. 171.
