Resolved by the Commons that the Charge impos'd upon the subjects for the providing and furnishing of Ships and the A●●esments for that purpose commonly called Shipmoney are against the Laws of the Realm the Subjects right of property and contrary to former resolutions in Parliament and to the Petition of Right Resolved That the Extrajudicial opinions of the Iudges published in the Star-chamber and inrolled in the Courts of Westminster are in whole and in every part of them against the Laws of the Realm the Liberty of the Subject c. This was also so resolved by the Lords and by the Parliament ordered That a Vacat be brought into the Parliament-house of all those Records concerning Ship-money Which was accordingly done February 27. the same Year the 16 of the King Die Veneris 26 die Februarii 1640. UPon the report of the right honourable the Lords Committees appointed to consider of the way of vacating of the Iudgment in the Exchequer concerning Shipmoney It was ordered by the Lords spiritual and temporal in the High Court of Parliament assembled that the Lord Keeper or the Master of the Rolls the two Lord chief Iustices and the Lord chief Baron and likewise the chief Clerk of the Star-chamber shall bring into the Vpper House of Parliament the Record in the Exchequer of the Iudgment in Mr. Hambdens case concerning Shipmoney and also the several Rolls in each several Court of the Kings-Bench Common-Pleas Exchequer Star-chamber and Chancery wherein the Iudges extrajudicial Opinions in the Cases made touching Shipmoney be entred and that a Vacat shall be made in the Vpper House of Parliament of the said several Records And likewise the Iudgment of Parliament touching the illegality of the said Iudgments in the Exchequer and the proceedings thereupon and touching the illegality of the extrajudicial Opinions of the Iudges in the said several Courts concerning Shipmoney be annexed and apostiled unto the same And that a Copy of the Iudgment of Parliament concerning the illegality of the said Iudgment in the Exchequer and the said extrajudicial Opinions of the said Iudges concerning Shipmoney be delivered to the several Iudges of the Assize And that they be required to publish the same at the Assizes in each several County within their Circuits and to take care that the same be Entred and Enrolled by the several Clerks of Assizes And if any entry be made by any Custos Rotulorum or Clerk of Assize of the said Iudgment in the Exchequer or of the said Extrajudicial Opinions of the Iudges That several Vacats be made thereof per judicium in Paliamento by judgment in Parliament And that an Act of Parliament be prepared against the said Iudgment and extrajudicial Opinions in the proceedings touching Shipmoney Vacatur istud Recordum Judicium inde habitum per considerationem judicium Dominor spiritual temporal in Parliam irrotulamentum eorum Cancellatur The two Iustices Arguments also against it were likewise Printed and published They likewise ordered a Committee to draw up a Charge against the Archbishop of Canterbury which was done and delivered to the Lords by Mr. Hollis which was seconded with another from the Scots Commissioners upon which he was committed to the black Rod and ten weeks after voted guilty of High treason and sent to the Tower The Parliament having thus removed these men and growing every day more and more upon the affections of the people they began to hammer upon the Bill for Triennial Paliaments which soon after passed both Houses and to the universal content of the Kingdom was signed by his Majesty for which the Parliament by the Lord Littleton Keeper of the great Seal gave him their most humble and hearty thanks Some former Overtures and Propositions had been made by the Dutch Ambassadors of a Marriage between the Princess Mary the Kings eldest Daughter and William Prince of Aurange which upon the arrival of the said Prince was afterwards accomplished being well approved of by both Houses by the lower whereof a Vote passed against Bishops temporal jurisdiction which was afterwards framed into an Act passed the Lords and was confirmed by the King who in all things saving his Honour and Conscience complyed with the desires of this Parliament Now came the Earl of Straffords Tryal which after various debates about the Place was appointed in Westminster-Hall the King Queen and Prince had a place built for them the Nobility had seats at the upper end of the Court the Commons in a Committee sate below several of whom as Mr. Pym Mr. St. Iohn and others managed his Accusation the Earl of Arundel was Lord High Steward and the Earl of Lindsey Lord High Constable The Charge or Impeachment consisted of Twenty eight Articles all which he so learnedly and warily answered defending himself with such sinewy Eloquence and warded the points of his accusation so dexterously that the Lords could not find the guilt which the Commons so highly exclaimed against as the greatest treason imaginable Among other witnesses Sir David Fowles and Sir William Pennyman appeared against the Earl the first of whom the Earl declared was his enemy and the latter a Member of the House of whom it was observed that having testifyed against the Earl he could not abstain from weeping Anno Dom. 1641. THe Commons seeing they could not condemn him by this proceeding they betook themselves to another by Bill of Attainder which conceding the matter of Fact sufficiently proved against him at his Tryal and by the Testimony also of the Parliament of Ireland who had prosecuted him there for the said offences condemned him as guilty of high treason This Bill stuck for a while with the Lords till the Tumults coming down and stopping their Coaches and menacing to post up the names of those who favoured him under the name of Straffordians with an impetuous cry of Iustice frighted many of the Peers to assent to the Bill which yet passed but by the plurality of seven voices against him No sooner was it past there but the Commons presented it to the King for him to sign who very much declined it but being over-perswaded by the dangers that were represented as inevitable consequents of his refusal and being also desired by the said Noble Earl himself to give the Parliament content though through the mediation of his own blood His Majesty after advice with the Bishops did pass that fatal Bill which proved the Ax against his own life I cannot pass the Tragedy of

Nor was there any money in the Treasury onely 3000 l. destined to pay a publick debt in England was stopt for present use by which means a Regiment was raised for Sir Henry Titchburn to reinforce the Garrison of Tredagh into which the Lord Moor now Earl thereof had opportunely put himself with his Troop of Horse for the Townsmen were false and wavering Sir Henry arrived safe thither in two days march from Dublin November the 4th Another Regiment was raised for Sir Charles Coot who was to be Governour of the City now in great fear and despair for the Rebels were near it on every side this Regiment was made up mostly of those men who came stript and despoiled out of the North and who lived to see themselves revenged of the Irish.
