A59386	Rights of the kingdom, or, Customs of our ancestors touching the duty, power, election, or succession of our Kings and Parliaments, our true liberty, due allegiance, three estates, their legislative power, original, judicial, and executive, with the militia freely discussed through the British, Saxon, Norman laws and histories, with an occasional discourse of great changes yet expected in the world.	Sadler, John, 1615-1674.	1682 (1682)	Wing S279; ESTC R11835	136,787	326

by Commune assent in special of the Clergy And for this Walsinghams Neustria may be added to others in the Road and at his return he is again Crowned before the People as well as the Lords Consilio Procerum Yet Polydore with others is bold to charge his Reign with great exactions on the Clergy in special for his ransome but himself yeilded that the King did send the Bishop of Salisbury into England that by the consent of Parliament Regii Senatus Authoritate he might get his Ransome And himself yeilded that at his return there was a Parliament wherein the King thanked his People for their Faith to him and for that they had helped him in his Wars and Imprisonment And that Ejus Nutu Archiep. Cantuar. was conferred on the said Bishop of Durham and that the Chalices c. were again restored to the Churches and that the Laws with weights and measures were then also corrected or amended K. Iohn's Election must be discussed in another place Of his Military Aids Paris with Wendover is clear that they were granted in and by Parliament Convenerunt ad Colloquium apud Oxoniam Rex magnates Angliae ubi concessa sunt Regi Auxilia Militaria de quolibet scuto duae marcae dimidium Nor are the Records wholly lost of his Parliament summoned about a War with the French or rather defence against them and his Writs are known enough They speak consent of Parliament provisum est de communi assensu Archiep. Comitum Baronum omnium Fidelium nostrorum Angliae quod novem Milites per Angliam inveniant decimum bene parat ad defensionem Regni Besides the Rolls this is found in the 9th part of the great Reports and in divers others His Charter is now so well known in Print that I need not cite any clause thereof No not that so clear for the Militia Nullum scutagium vel Auxilium ponam in regno nostro nisi per commune Consilium Regni nostri Yet I may add that the Aides there excepted and called Reasonable being such by Common Law were afterwards assessed and ascertained by Parliament For which the first of Westminster may be compared with the 25 th of Ed. 3d. and in the 14 th of that King his Aides were remitted by Parliament because for his Wars he had taketh other Assistance than was due by Law which was much excused by himself and divers other Kings And for this I might cite the 48 th of H. 3d. the 25 th and 31 th of Edw. 1st the 10 11 12 and 13 of Edw. 2d the 19 th and 20 th Edw. 3 d. who did buy Souldiers rather than Press them as the Roman Historian of the declining times of that Empire Of the Barons Wars I must not speak a syllable they do deserve a discourse by themselves and it may be possible er'e long to see it Now I shall only observe that our great Charter was rather the Cause or occasion than the Effect of those Wars For had it been so kept as it was made the Crown might have rested in peace enough They which perswade others that this Charter was first created by King Henry and extorted from him only by a prevailing Sword seem not to consider so much as its Title as it now is printed where we find it granted in his 9 th year Although it was so ill performed that it needed confirmation afterwards Matth. Paris is very clear and plain in this that it was wholly the same or exactly agreeing with that of K. Iohn in nullo dissimilis Nay he speaketh of K. Iohns Charter quas sponte promisit Baronagio Angliae and again in K. H. 3 d. sponte liberaliter concessit And the Popes Letters tell us of K. Iohns Charter granted most freely Liberaliter ex mera spontanea Voluntate de Communi consensu Baronum suorum c. Besides the very words in one of those Charters spontanea voluntate nostra dedimus concessimus pro nobis Heredibus nostris Libertates has subscriptas Nor were these new priviledges then first Created by him But the old Rights of the People by long and ancient Custom as we may find at large also in Wendover with Matthew Paris where they are not only Antiquae Leges consuetudines Regni but we are also told they did present the great Charter of H. the first with his Laws and St. Edward's And to these the Barons sware as the King had also done before For so we read their Covenant was that if the King would break his Oath a juramento proprio resilire which they had some cause to believe or suspect propter suam duplicitatem yet they would keep theirs and would do their best to reduce him to keep his Virgil is also clear in this who telleth us K. Iohn's Troubles and proceedure from his not restoring K. Edw. Laws as he had promised And that the Barons urged him ut promissas tandem aliquando Lege daret and again they ask for their Antient Customes vetera instituta quibus olim Reges Pop. Angl bene rexissent and the close is quae ille prius recepisset se sanctissime observaturum And for Henry the Third the same Author affirmeth that instead of his granting ought that was new the People granted him that grand Prerogative of Wardships which that King accepted with many thanks adding also that the People did not intend it for his Successors But of this I may speak in another place I shall now only adde that if there be not yet enough said from all the Saxon Laws and Histories with the first Norman Confirmations and Explications to assert the Great Charter to be more Antient for its matter than K. Henry or K. Iohn I shall only desire those that are yet unsatisfied they would please to peruse the 2 d. part of the Great Institutes or at least so much of it as speaketh of H. 3 d. and Edw. 1st And it may be they will not wonder that at the Prelates motion that Bastards might inherit the Parliament at Merton cryed out so loud nolumus Lages Angliae mutate c. To which also besides the late Declarations of this Parliament and the Petition of Right may be added the Learned arguments of those Grave and Honourable Judges to whom we shall ever owe so much for standing up in an evil day for Truth and Common Justice in the Case of Ship-money Sir Richard Hatton Sir George Crook and Sir Iohn Denham with the truly Noble Oliver St. Iohn Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas. Their Arguments are now in Print by publick Command Nor may I presume to add a word in that subject Nor shall I speak of the times following the great Charter which was confirmed more than thirty times in full Parliament with many special Provisions for the Militia It being most just and reasonable that what did so much concern all should be considered by all Quod omnes tangit
