Abridgement be very exactly done by so learned and eminent an Antiquary whose Name it bears yet through the carelesness of the Clerks who transcribed it I find here and there some mistakes in the Number roll and some omissions of material Words Clauses yea of the whole Parliament Rolls of Ed. 2.46 E. 3. with some two or three Rolls more yet extant not abridged in any Copy I have seen which the publishing or perusal of the Parliament rolls at large will easily supply I being unwilling to adde any Appendix of mine own to this deceased Authors surviving industry Besides in one particular of moment I find both a mistranslation of the French and a mistaken Inference grounded on it by the Compiler of this Abridgement of which I thought necessary to give the Reader special Notice to rectifie his mistake which hath seduced many especially being since seconded therein by Sir Edw. Cook In the Abridgement of the Parliament Roll of 6 E. 3. n. 5 6. whereas it is translated The Bishops and Proctors of the Clergy went by themselves to consult therein And THE LORDS AND COMMONS BY THEMSELVES The LORDS AND COMMONS RETURN c. The word there translated Commons is in the Roll and French GRANTZ with a dash or GRANDEES in both placesâ— and should be thus rendred in English The Lords Barons and other GREAT MEN not Commons by themselves And the said Earls Barons et autres Grantz AND OTHER GREAT MEN not Commons by the mouth of Sir Henry Beaumont c. The Knights of Shires and Commons being twice together distinguished from the Earls Barons and Great men in this very Number-Roll which I shall transcribe to clear this mistake and the inference grounded thereonâ— Et les ditz Countz Barons et auters Grantz per eux mesmes Les quex Countz Barons et auters Grantz puis revindrent et respondient touz au Roy par la bouch de Beaumond c. Les quels choses issint ordainiez per le ditz Countz Barons et auters Grantz luez devant nostre Seiur le Roy et les Prelates Chivalers des Countees et les Gentz de Comune here put in contradistinction to the Earls Lords and Great men and not present with them at their private debates but severed from them as well as the Bishops and Clergy and present only when they made their report to the King Prelates Knights Commons and whole Parliament assembled together upon this occasion in one place fueront plaisantz a eux touz et per nostre Seiur le Roy Prelates Countz Barons et auters Grantz et auxint per les Chivalers des Countees et GENTZ DES COMUNE here again distinguished from the Lords and Great men fueront pleinment assentuz accordez c. Now mark the inference thence made by the Abridger n. 10. By the 5. and 6. Titles before may appear THAT AT THIS TIME THE LORDS AND COMMONS WERE OF ONE HOUSE and that then there was no Speaker for the Commons That the Commons had then no Speaker I conceive is an undoubted truth since we find not any Speaker they had mentioned in the Rolls before the Parliaments of 51 E. 3. n. 89. and 1 R. 2. n. 16 17. But that the Lords and Commons were then of one House and sate and consulted together is a clear mistake directly contrary to this very record whereon it is grounded which expresly resolves That the Earls Barons and Great mâ—n went by themselves to consult as well as the Bishops and Clergy and that the Knights and Commons went not with them to consult but were called together to hear their report made by Sir Henry Beaumont to which they all gave their assents Sir Edward Cook in his 4. Institutes c. 1. p. 4â— hath propagated this mistake and thus backed it with some additions of his own CERTAIN IT IS THAT AT THE FIRST BOTH HOUSES of Lords and Commons SATE TOGETHER as it appeareth by Modus tenendi Parliamentum vide Rot. Parliamenti 5 E. 3. n. 3. and in other places of the same Roll and in 6 E. 3. in divers places it appeareth THAT THE LORDS AND COMMONS SATE TOGETHER But under the favour of this Reverend Judge as this Modus tenendi Parâ—iamentum he so much magnifies and insists on is a meer Spurious Forgery and Imposture full of gross errors absurdities not antienter than King Rich the 2. reign some part of it being taken out of 11 R. 2 and no such antient Record in the Confessors Conquerors or Henry the 2. reigns nor of such venerable Authority or Antiquity as Sir Edw. by many confident averrments without any colour of truth affirms it to be in his 4 Institutes p. 12.349 and elswhere as Mr. Selden manifests in his Titles of Honour part 2. p. 613 685 691 738. to 745 and I have further evidenced in My Levellers Levelled and third Part of A Seasonable Legal and Historical Vindication c. of the good old Fundamental Liberties Rights Laws of England p. 314. and the very Treatise it self will evidence to any person who is but meanly versed in Antiquities or Parliamentary Records So the Roll of 5 E. 3. n. 3. proves no such thing That both Houses then sate together but the contrary that the Lords and Commons sate and consulted apart by themselves and that certain Lords as a special Committee only not Lords House then treated consulted with them but no otherwise And the Roll of 6 E. 3. proves expresly that the Commons sate not together as one House with the Lords but apart from them To put this out of all further controversie Parl. 2.6 E 3. n. 3. is express That the Bishops by themselves THE LORDS BY THEMSELVES AND THE COMMONS BY THEMSELVES consulted and advised the King touching the War with Scotland The like you may read in 13 E. 3. n. 4 to 10.13 E. 3. Parl. 2. n. 5 6 7 8.14 E. 3. n. 6.7.17 E. 3. n. 9 10 11.18 E. 3. n. 10 11.20 E. 3. n. 10 11.21 E. 3. n. 4 5.25 E. 3. n. 6 7.36 E. 3. n. 6 7.40 E. 3. n. 8.42 E. 3. n. 7 4â— E. 3. n. 5 6.50 E. 3. n. 3 8 11 12. c. 51 E. 3. n. 18. and sundry other records throughout the reign of King Edward the 3d and in other Parliaments since Wherfore I wonder much at this gross confident mistake in Sir Edward Cook against so many express Records and that in his very Treatise touching Parliaments which is full of other mistakes To instance in other particulars for the Readers information Sir Edward Cooke in his 4 Institutes c. 1. p. 23. hath 5 or 6 gross mistakes together touching the Iudicature in Parliament which I have at large demonstrated refuted in my Plea for the Lords long since Particularly he there asserts Rot. Parl. 1 H. 4.79 is no Act of Parliament but an Ordinance when as you may see by this Abridgement of of it that it is neither an Act
Proctor to the Commonalty of England then assembled or represented by their Knights or Burgessesâ— in the Commons House of Parliament or distinguished from the Lords and Barons like that Deed of intayl by Sir Iohn Tiptoft their Speaker in 8 H. 4. as Sir Robert Cotton imports and others would thence inferr which I shall irrefragably evidence 1. By the beginning close and subscription of this very Letter printed in the Additamenta of Matthew Paris It begins thus Sanctissimo Patri in Christo Alexandro c. COMMUNITAS COMITUM PROCERUM MAGNATUM ALIORUMQUE REGNI ANGLIAE cum subjectione debita pedum oscula beatorum And it is thus joyntly subscribed and sealed by 6.

Earls Barons and Great men joyntly signed and sealed it Vice totius Communitatis as joynt Proctors to this whole Community of the Baronage of England not ten of them as Proxies to the Earls Nobles and Great men and Peter de Montfort the 11. as Speaker or Proctor to the Commons in or out of Parliament as is erroniously surmised 2ly It is most evident by the words of Mat. Paris who placeth this Letter in Anno 1458. or 41 H. 3. whereas Sir Robert Cotton and Rishanger referr it to Anno 1260. or 44 H. 3 Destinantur Nuncii solennes ad Dominum Papam ex parte Regni ET TOTIUS ANGLIAE UNIVERSITATE c. Causam autem Itineris eorum et SCRIPTUM A BARNAGIO TRANSCRIPTUM audire qui cupit in libro Additamentorum invenire praevalebit Which compared with his Istud detestabile factum Romano erat Pontifici PER BARONES significatum in this very Letter his Magnates Nobiles terrae c. And his Tale iniit Consilium UNIVERSITAS BARNAGII will undeniably manifest That the Barons and Universality of the Baronage only not the meer Commons of England writ and sent this Letter and were the tota Communitas mentioned and intended in it in whose behalf these 11 Earls and Grandees subscribed and sealed it not the UNIVERSITAS REGNI POPULARIS ETSI NON NOBILES whom Mat. Paris distinguisheth from them by this very expression in the same year and upon the same occasion who Pictavienses obsiderent et Castra eorum funditus dissiparent Wherefore neither the signing nor sealing of this Letter by them Vice totius Communitatis nor this Clause in it Etsi Dominus Rex et Magnates hoc vellent COMMUNITAS tamen ipsius ingressum in Angliam nullatenus sustinerent meant only of the Vulgar Rable or Uiversitas Regni popularis as Mat. Paris stiles them who were much inraged against him being the same in substance with that phrase in King Henry the first his Letter unto Pope Paschal not in but out of Parliament Et si ego quod absit in tanta me dejectione ponâ—rem Optimates vero et TOTUS ANGLIAE POPULUS ID NULLO MODO PATERETUR can be any convincing or probable evidence at all that this Bishop elect of Winchester was then judicially banished by the joint consent of the King Nobles and Commons in Parliament as is suggested he being forced to fly thence through fear of their arms alone not banished by their judicial sentence as they thus expresly inform the Pope in another Letter sent to him with the former to inhibit his return Maxime CUM IPSE A REGNO EXPULSUS NON EXTITERIT SED SPONTE CESSERIT non ausus exhibitionem Iustitiae quae singulis secundum Iuramenta Regis Procerum debebatur expectare Much lesse is it any proof that the Commons in that age had a Voice and consent in Parliament Iudgments of all Natures since they never had it in succeeding ages unlesse it were by way of Bill as the whole Commons House acknowledged in the Parliament of 1 H. 4. n. 79. and I have manifested at large in my Plea for the Lords no more than that they had then a Speaker or House of Commons which is clear by subsequent Parliaments in this Abridgement they had not till many years after 44 H. 3. and after the Parl. of 6 E. 3. 3ly This will most evidently appear by the Barons Letter sent to King Henry the third to Lewes Anno Dom. 1264. the 48 year of his reign from their Camp Barones alii fideles sui c. subscribed only by the Earl of Leicester and Gilbert de Clare ad Petitionem aliorum And by the Letter of Richard King of Romans Prince Edward the Kings eldest son caeterique Barones omnes Milites praedicto Regi Angliae constanter adhaerentes fide sincera opibus sent to the Barons in answer thereunto thus subscribed Rex Alemanniae Edwardus filius Regis nomine suo aliorum Regi adhaerentium Omnes nos contenti sumus praedictorum Dominorum sigillis In both which Letters the two Earls and the King of Romans and Prince Edward joyntly signed and sealed in the Name of all the Barons Knights and others of either party and not one of them as a Proctor or Speaker to the Commons and the other as Proxie to the Barons and Lords both Letters being writ from their Camp not Parliament and neither of them relating to the Commons House or Judicature in Parliament just like this Letter concerning Bishop Adomar Therefore no inference can be thence deduced to prove the Commons had either any House Speaker or Judicature in the Parliaments of 42 or 44 of Henry the third The first expresse writ I find of any Knights of Counties by name summoned to our Parliaments as Members is that of Claus. 49 H. 3. dors 10 11. requiring Sheriffs to summon 2. Knights out of every County to the Paâ—liament which was presently after the battel of Evesham the same year the Earl of Leicester was slain the Barons totally routed by Pr. Edward and King Henry rescued out of their hands when Sir Robert Cotton affirms and that most truly as I conjecture THESE VVRITS BEGAN The writs of Rot. Claus. 15.

to Paâ—liament being conceived by some upon good grounds not to be a direct summons of any Commoners or Knights of Shirâ—s to Parliament as Members but in another kinde when as we find VVrits of Summons to Parliament directed to Bishops and the Temporal Lords and Barons before 49 H. 3. without any such VVrits for â—nâ—ghts or Burgesses In what place the Commons usually assembled at first is uncertain but most likely it was in the Chapter House of of the Abbot of Westminster as is clear by 50 E. 3. n. 8. and other records How unable and unwilling the Commons were at first of themselves to advise in maâ—ters of Peace or Warr referring themselves usually herein to the King and Lords alone and desiring a special Committee of Lords to advise and direct them in most things else and how they got a Speaker and House of their own at last in the dotage of King Edward the 3. and nonage of Richaâ—d the 2. and then proceeded by degrees to meddle with the greatest affairs of the State Court and Crown being set on by some ambitious Lords to promote their designes thereby you may observe throughout this Abridgement of which the Table will render you a more particular account What use the Lords made of the Commons and their Speakers to curb the King and his greatest Officers Minions Favourites you may here read at large in the Parliaments of 50 E. 3. of 1 3 5 7 10 11 R. 2. 1 H. 4.28 33 38 39 H. 6. And how King Rich. 2. made use of them to suppresse his Domineering Lords and King Edward the 4. used them as his Instruments to curb suppress both King Hen. the 6. and the Lords that were opposite to him you may observe in the Parliaments of 21 R. 2 33 39 H. 6. 1 Ed. 4. especially n. 38 39. in his Speech there made unto the Commons By whose assistance he was restored to the Crown and soon after to all the Lands and Revenues alienated from it by Acts of Resumption Whereupon he promised the Commons in Parliament with his own mouth To live of his own without charging them and left off all gathering of money and Impositions on them as the only thing which withdraws the hearts of the English from their Prince receiving onely Tonnage and Poundage and but some 3. or 4. Disms and Quindisms of small value which they freely granted him towards his wars during all his 23 years reign A president worthy present and future imitation for the oppressed peoples ease especially after so many yeares uncessant heavy Taxes of all sorts extorted from them rather for private ends than the publike Interest and Welfare of the Kingdom What other particulars of Note touching the Commons Lords or Parliament affairs occurr in this Abridgement the Table will more punctually inform the Reader I shall only further observe that in all the Parliaments of King Ed. 3. R. 2. H. 4 5 6. Ed. 4 and R. 3. here abridged the Commons House never claimed nor exercised any such Jurisdiction as hath been usurped by it of late years in some particulars of moment 1. They never presumed nor pretended to make print or publish any Act Ordinance Order whatsoever relating to the people Kingdom or own Members without the Kings and Lords precedent approbation and concurrence 2. They never attempted to impose any Tax Tallage Charge Impost Excise or Duty whatsoever on the people without the Lords and Kings assent 3. They never adventured to appoint any special Committees or Sub Committees to hear examine determine any particular businesse or complaint before without any Report thereof to the whole House of Commons nor without the privity and assent of the House of Lords by way of transmission or impeachment to their Superiour Authority and Judicature An intollerable Grievance of puny times 4. They never attached fined imprisoned or censured any Person by their own authority without the Lords as they have done hundreds of late years 5. They never presumed to seclude or secure any of their own Members nor yet finally to judge of the Legality or Illegality of their Elections nor of the breach of their Privileges by imprisonment or otherwise of which the King and Lords were antiently sole Iudges as is evident by 16 R. 2. n. 6. 12 R. 2. n. 23. 1 H. 4. n. 79. 4 H. 4. n. 19 20. 5 H. 4. n. 71.78 c. 5. 8 H. 4. 13.

They were always Petitioners to the King Lords for publike Laws Grievances and private Persons but very seldom petitioned unto upon any occasion as you may observe throughout this Abridgment some of the first Petitions to them being those of the Upholsters and Merchant Adventurers of London whereon Acts were made mentioned in the printed Statutes of 11 H. 7. c. 19. 12 H. 7. â— 6. since the Parliaments here abbreviated 7. Though they had the free Election of their Speakers granted them yet they alwayes of course presented their Speakers to the King and Lords at their appointed time who had power to allow of them and their excuses or to disallow and discharge them when elected yea to enjoyn them to elect present another Speaker when the former through sicknes imprisonment or other impediment was disabled or discharged as is evident by 1 H. 4. n. 62 63 64 1 H. 5. n. 9 10 11.15 H. 6. n. 10.27 28 H. 6. n. 6 7. 32 H. 6. n. 6.25 26 27 28 29. and Cookes 4 Instit. p. 8. 8. They alwayes stood bare-headed when they repaired to the Lords House upon the first day of the Parliament Conferences Passing of Bils Messages or any other Occasions when as the Lords sate covered 8 R. 2. n. 2. which custome continued so long as the Lords House sate even till 1648. 9. They never did nor could of right administer an Oath to Witnesses or others examined by the whole House or Committees as the Lords House usually did 7 R. 2. n. 14. Plac. Coron 1 H. 4. n. 10. They had no Vote Iudicature in Writs of Error brought in Parliam returnable only before and tryed in and by the Lords House alone nor yet in Criminall Causes upon Impeachments wherein the Lords alone were Iudges in cases both of Peers and Commoners as I have proved at large in my Plea for the Lords Which the Commons themselves acknowledged 1 H. 7. n. 79. and you may here observe throughout this Abridgement To close up this Preface I dare affirm that the several Treatises of our English Parliaments formerly published by Sir Tho. Smith Iohn Vowel Hotinshed Statham Fitzherbert Brook Mr. Richard Crompton Mr Cambden Doctor Cowel Minshew and Sir Edward Cook with

IT is agreed that Sir Thomas Drayton shall be Clerk of the Parliament The Articles contained in the third Title of the last Parliament are proclaimed in Westminster Hall Receivers of Petitions for England Ireland Wales Scotland Gascoin and of the Isles Tryers of Petitions as aforesaid For that sundry of the Lords and Commons were not come the Parliament was continued from day to day untill Thursday ensuing The same day the cause of the Parliament was declared to be how the King might be answered of the grant of the ninth which was to him given in consideration that he should passe in person against the enemy Philip de Valois who had taken away part of the Dutchy of Guienne much part of which grant was kept from the King by evill Officers Another cause how more plenty of money might be had and whether Florences were to be currant with the Sterling Declaration was also made that such as found themselves grieved with the King or his Officers should upon complaint find remedy From this Thursday untill Thursday after the Parliament was continued from day to day on this point that the Nobles of this Land should not be put to answer but in open Parliament by their Peers whereupon are named four Bishops four Earls and four Barons to draw the Plot.

After which he subjoyns Rot. Parl. 2. H. 5. n. 13. Error assigned that the Lords gave judgement without petition or assent of the Commons when as there is no such Error therein assigned and the judgement there alleged to be erroneous was confirmed by the Lords as you may read in this Abridgement and more fully in my Plea for the Lords To pretermit many more of his Mistakes in his very Chapter of Parliaments which this Abridgement will both discover and rectifie I shall touch but upon one more In his 4. Instit. p. 10. he hath this passage Walsingham saith that in Anno Domini 1404. which was Anno 6 H. 4 in the writs of the Summons of Parliament there was added by the King a Commandement in the Writ THAT NO LAWYER SHOULD BE RETURNED KNIGHT OR BURGESSE But the Historian was deceived FOR THERE IS NO SUCH CLAUSE IN THOSE WRITS but it was wrought by the Kings Letters by pretext of an Ordinance in the Lords House in 46 E. 3. In which passage there are three mistakes together 1. A misrecital of Thomas of Walsinghams words That no Lawyer or Apprentice should be elected Knight of the Shire without any mention of Burgesses Direxit ergo Rex writes he BREVIA Vicecomitibus NE QUOSQUAM PRO COMITATIBUS ELIGERENT QUOVISMODO MILITES QUI IN JURE REGNI VEL DOCTI FUISSENT VEL APPRENTICII Sed tales omnino mitterentur ad hoc negotium quos conslat ignorare cujusque Iuris methodum FACTUMqUE EST ITA Whence he stiles it in his Margin PARLIAMENTUM INDOCTORUM To which he subjoyns in his Ypodigma Neustriae this observation In hoc Parliamento concessa fuit Regi taxa insolita et incolis tricabilis et valde gravis Cujus modum praesentibus inseruissem nisi Concessores ipsi Authores dicti Tallagii in perpetuum latere posteros maluissent Nempe sub ea tantum conditione concedebatur ne traheretur posterius in exemplum nec servarentur ejus evidentâ—ae in the sauraria Regia nec in Scaccario sed Scripturae vel recordationes ejusdem protiÌ„nus post datum compotum cremarentur nec emitterentur Brevia seu Commissiones contra Collectores vel Inquisitores hujus negotii de melius inquirendo A good president for the burning abolishing of all late records of illegal excessive Taxes Excises imposed and levied on the English Nation for so many years together without intermission 2ly A charging of Walsingham who lived in those times and knew them better than Sir Edward Cooke with a direct mistake and untruth That there is no such clause in the writs then issued as he recites when as it is most apparent by the writs themselves remaining on Record in the Tower in the Clause Roll of 5 H. 4. pars 2. m. 4 Dorso which I have perused with mine own eyes for my own and others satisfaction and by diverse Notes and Transcripts thereof which I have seen in Manuscripts that there was this clause inserted into all the writs of Summons then issued to exclude the Sheriffs themselves with all Apprentices and Men of the Law from being elected Knights Citizens or Burgesses Nolumus autem quod tu seu aliquis alius Vicecomes regni nostri aut APPRENTICIUS SIVE ALIQUIS ALIUS HOMO AD LEGEM ALIQUALITER SIT ELECTUS Et habeas ibi nomina praedictorum Militum Civium Burgensium hoc Breve Teste Rege apud Lichefield 25 die Augusti on which day the writs of Summon both to the Archbishops Bishops and Temporal Lords bear date all entred together in the same Roll. I wonder therefore upon what ground or misinformation Sir Edward Cook could so confidently averr the contrary and tax this Historian for a mistake in this wherein he was most right and himself alone so palpably mistaken whose confidence made me of his opinion till I sifted out the truth by a more diligent search of the Record it self not mentioned in this Abridgement 3ly In averring that this was wrought by the Kings Letters by pretext of an Ordinance of the Lords House in 46 E. 3. when that he stiles an Ordinance of that the Lords House was an Ordinance or Act of Parliament Ordinances and Acts of Parliament being both one and the same as â— have elsewhere unanswerably proved againsâ— Sir Edward Cooks new mistaken Doctrine made by the whole Parliament not Lords House alone excluding all Practising Lawyers all Sheriffs from being elected Knights of Shires or receiving wages for their Service in that Parliament for the reasons therein mentioned which Ordinance I shall here insert at large out of the Parliament Roll of 46 E. 3. num 13.

Justice neither for the Great Seal Letter or other Commandment Item It is enacted That Sir William Montacute and all others with him at the apprehension of the Earl of Maâ—ch and others in Nott. being done by the Kings commandment shall be acquitted thereof and all other Murthers and Felonies there done It is also enacted That one Recognisance of Two thousand pounds which the Bishop of Winchester stood bound to pay to King Edward the Second should be void Anno Quinto Edwardi Tertii In the same Roll are contained the Remembrances of the Parliament at Westminster the morrow after S. Michael in the Fifth year of King Edward the Third THe Bishop of Winchester being Chancellor sheweth that the Parliament was called to treat of affairs touching the Land of Guienne and for Peace and other issue to be had between the King and the French and for the affairs of Ireland and for the Kings expedition thither The King by the Chancellor asketh Whether it were best to treat with the French by way of Amity or Marriage according to the offer of the French The Commons think the way of marriage to be the best after which certain Lords there named are appointed to treat therein Touching the affairs with Ireland it is fully accorded That the King shall passe thither in person and that in the mean time a power be sent thither and commandment given that all such as have any Lands there do repair thither for defence of the same It is agreed That all feats of Arms shall be defended as well by the Justices as others untill the King and his Councel do otherwise appoint It is accorded that such learned in the law as shall be sent as Justices or otherwise to serve in Ireland shall have no excuse That search be made among all the Kings Records to see what hath been for the amendment of the Irish. Sir Eâ—ball le Strange and eleven other Mainprisors to bring forth the body of Hugh the son of Hugh le Despencer the younger to answer in this Parliament who brought him forth accordingly and shew the Kings pardon to him made whereof they pray allowance and discharge of themselves which was granted It is agreed That Queen Isabel the Kings mother shall have yearly Four thousand pounds in rents or lands All the Estates in full Parliament do agree That none of them shall retain sustain or avow any Felon or other common breaker of the Law It is enacted That no Purveyance be made but for the King Queen and their children and that by good warrant and ready payment The King shall appoint certain persons to determine the Office of Thomas de Ferrers and other his brothers of the Parsonage of Marlston in the County of Leicester Commandment is given to the Abbot of Crowland and Sir Thomas Wake of Liddle between whom debate had been to keep the Peace The like Commandment was given to Sir William dâ— la Zouch of Ashby and to Sir Iohn Grey of Rotherfield The Bishop of London shall be in Councel attendant upon the King with others of the Councel The whole Estate moveth the King to be gracious to Edward the son of the late Earl of March the King asked what they would have done sith King Edward the Second was murthered by the procurement of the said Earlâ— they answer for certain Lands intailed the Kings answer was That the same should be done at his pleasure At the request of the whole Estate the King dischargeth Sir Thomas Berkley and his Mainprisors and day given to him to appear at the next Parliament By this and the eighth title before it appeareth that the old usage was That when any person being in the Kings displeasure was thereof acquitted by tyral or pardon yet notwithstanding he should put in twelve of his Peers to be his sureties for his good behaviour at the Kings pleasure Whereas Sr Henry Piercy for the yearly Fee of 500 Marks stood bound to serve the King with a certain number of men as well in Peace as in War The King in release of the same Fee granteth to the said Earl in Fee the Castle of Workworth in Northumberland and the Mannor of Rochbury In the backside of the lame Roll. Robert of Benhall Knight William of Clapton and Iohn of Clapton being convicted before the Justices of Assize in Norfolk and Suffolk of certain riots with sundry Knights and Esquires their sureties appeared in full Parliament and were severally fined and further bound with sureties to their good behaviour Sundry Merchants of Brabant were arrested by the English Merchants for Wools taken up to the use of the Duke of Brabant at which Dukes request the King requireth that all the English Meâ—chants do appear before the Councel and abide further Order therein Anno Sexto Edwardi Tertii The Parliament holden at Westminster the Monday next after the Feast of S. Gregory in the Sixt year of King Edward the Third AT this day these two Articles were read before the King and Councel and after proclaimed in Westminster and London and more was not this day for the Archbishop of Canterbury and others were not come The first was that no man upon pain to lose all he had should use or wear any coat of Plate or other weapon in London Westminster or the Suburbs of the same The second was That no games or other plays of men women or children should be used in VVestminster to the disturbance of the Parliament After that the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of London Chancellor of England by way of Oration sheweth how the French King went to take a voyage to the Holy Land and desired the Kings Company which caused the King to call the same Parliament That being said Sir Ieffery le Scroop in the presence of the King by his commandment declared That the same was called as well to redress the breach of the Laws and Peace as for the Kings going to the Holy Land The Bishops answered That it did not properly appertain to them to councel in matters of peace and to prescribe for the punishment of evils and therefore they and the Proctors of the Clergie went by themselves to consult therein and the Lords and the Commons by themselves The Lords and the Commons return and by the mouth of Sir Henry Beomont think it best to treat of matters of Peace namely that certain Justices should be appointed in every County and of their power to determine that in every shire certain Officers with the Constables be appointed for apprehending of the evill

with this adjunct that for as much as Clerks cannot have their remedy therefore as the Statute would that therefore they shall have their Actions against such Purveyors by way of Trespass and thereby recover treble damages mentioned in the Statute The Sheriffs and Escheators with their Wives and Servants and horse do over-charge poor religious houses and over that do exact great sums of money of them The Statutes therefore made shall be observed The print touching Tithes and Oblations cap. 13. doth in part agree with the Record but not altogether quod nota That upon consultation granted of a pension brought by one person against another all depending before the Ordinary that the same Ordinary may fully decide the cause onely The King will charge the Justices to search forth the old Records and to do thereafter That no prohibition be granted before the whole circumstance of the matter be fully examined in the Chancery No prohibition shall be granted other then heretofore hath been and what ever was appointed in the last Parliament shall stand The Print touching tythes and Averments ca. 14. doth not altogether agree with the Record quod nota That the Ordinary may freely discuss every conditional consultation Let it be as it hath been That upon a prohibition for Tythes of Sylva cedua there may be readily granted a consultation and that neither the Judge neither the party pursuant be impeached therefore It shall be as it hath been That all men flying to the Church-yard or other holy places may enjoy the priviledge thereof without any temporal Watch or Ward No man shall make any ward but one of the Chancery The Print touching Arrests in Churches c. cap. 15. much swerveth from the Record which note Petitions for the City of London That all their Liberties with this clause Licet 2. any Statute notwithstanding may be confirmed To the first the King granteth to the second he will view the contraries and do thereafter They require that no stranger within the same Liberty do buy or sell any Merchandize of another stranger in pain of forfeiture The King willeth the same between Merchant and Merchant onely saving the Liberties of the Merchants of Aquitain That they attend upon no commandment of any the Kings Officers but onely at the Kings suit being sealed with the Great Seal or Privy except the Kings Justices according to their Charter Let it be continued as heretofore hath been It is enacted that the Citizens of London shall by their selves enquire of Customs Impositions and purprestures happening or arising within the City of London It is enacted that the Mayor and Chamberlain of London for the time being shall have the keeping of all the Lands and Goods of such Orphans as happen within the said City Saving to the King and other Lords their right of such as hold of them out of the same Liberty That the interpretation of any word or sentence touching their said Liberties which may severally be taken may be taken according to the intent and claim of the said Citizens Interpretation of Charters belong unto the King wherein if any doubt shall arise the King by advice will make interpretation according to reason That the City of London may enjoy all such Liberties as any other Town in the Realm if they have any other then the said Citizens have Let them declare the especial matter and they shall have answer That no protection Royal be allowed in debt account or Trespass wherein a Free-man of London is ten pounds For victual bought after the voyage or service whereof the protection mentioneth or for debt or contract after the date of such protection purchased the King granteth That no man condemned and laid in Newgate for any debt to any Citizen be removed to answer to the King in the Exchequer unless that the Kings debt be first to be due The King hath appointed the Barons and Officers of the Exchequer so to deal It is to be required that for any answer here given the Kings will is that the Citizens of London be in no wise restrained of any their Liberties or ancient Customs approved The Commons the last day of the Parliament by mouth required the Lords to have good regard that the King might have all such Lands as his Grandfather purchased to the ease of the Commons and also all the goods and Jewels of his said Grandfather considering what had been heretofore done in other Kings days in the like whereunto was made no other Answer but that the Lords wished the same for the Kings part and the soul of his said Grandfather The Parliament continued from day to day from the first day being the 13. of October this present year until the 18. of November in the same viz. in the whole 47 days At the which 18 day the Bills were read and the answers as aforesaid And so the King giving thanks to the Lords and Commons for their expedition and consideration of aid willed the Knights and Burgesses to sue forth their Writs for their Fees and so to depart And so ended this Parliament Anno Secundo

the Bishops and Lords were then absent the Parliament by the Kings appointment was continued untill the next day The Wednesday following being the 27. of April the King with most of the Bâ—shops and Lords came into the Parliament into the Painted Chamber into the which the Commons were called before whom Sir Richard le Scroop Chancellor of England by the Kings appointment declared the causes of the Parliament vizâ— First was for the maintenance of the liberty of the Church Again for that in the end of the last Parliament the King had according to the order taken elected sundry Lords and others to be of his continual Council but for the sudden breaking up of the same Parliament he was not advised of the number which being chosen and sworn togethâ—r with the Nobles consulted about the Affairs of the Realm and the great dangers wherein the same was and weighing the great charges which the same needed would not fully determine the same without Parliament

Luke the Evangelist in the Second year of King Richard the Second THe same Wednesday being the 20. day October and the first day of the Parliament certain of the Nobles met in a Chamber appointed in the Abby of S. Peters of Gloucester where for that divers of the Lords were not come nor the Sheriffs then returned their Writs the Parliament was adjourned until the next day by the Kings commandment The same Thursday after the King with his three Uncles of Spain Cambridge and Buckingham the two Archbishops and divers other Nobles assembled in the Great Hall of the Abby of Gloucester and there appointed where the L. B. of Davids by the commandment of the King declared the cause of the Parliament as followeth viz. First for the liberties of the Church maintenance of the Laws and observations of the Peace Secondly for that it was enacted that a Parliament should yearly be holden Thirdly for that the King desired to see and to consult with them so honorable an Assembly there gathered in Gods name which he commendeth willing unity and concord among them to be according to the resemblance of the Church Another great cause was for that the King being left in the midst of great Wars could not endure and maintain the same without their Aid He sheweth further that since the great villany and damage done by the Scots at Roxburgh at Truce thereupon taken for a time they the same Scots have allied themselves with the French to the end to depart from the same Truce and by all means to annoy the King and his friends All which to recite and the charges thereof to bear he willeth them deeply to consider One great mischief in the Commonweal he remembreth them viz. That the Law of the Land and the Law of Arms do not concur together by certain similitudes he wisheth them of those two Laws to make a Relative so as they may stand with the other Another mischief he noteth to wit Slanderers and sowers of discord between Nobles Gentlemen and Neighbours the which kind of men he resembleth to Dogs that eat raw flesh so applying them to eat and consume living men For all which enormities he wisheth them to seek redress and to be there the next day by eight of the clock to hear further Declarations and the Commons to keep the Chapter house within the great Cloister of the Abby aforesaid Receivers of Petitions for England Ireland Wales and Scotland Receivers of Petitions for Gascoyne and other places beyond the Seas and for the forein Isles Tryers of petitions for England c. as above Tryers of petitions for Gascoin c. as above The Friday after the two and twentieth of October the Lords and Commons assembled in the said great Hall where Sir Richard le Scroop Steward of the Kings Houshold declaring his own unworthiness there to speak shewed them how they were invironed with enemies and the King importably charged for keeping possession beyond the Seas namely that Callis cost him yearly twenty thousand pounds Brest twelve thousand marks besides Ireland Cherburgh Burdeaux and Bayn he sheweth that the old grant of the last Parliament was onely dispended in the Wars as the Officers could declare he wisleth them to consult for the rescue and the mean how to levie the charges After that the Commons came before the King where Sir Iames Pickering knight Speaker of the Parliament for the Commons maketh his Protestation as well for himself as for the whole House And first for the Commons That if he should speak any thing which happily might be ill taken it might be as as nothing so as the Commons at any time might amend the same And so much for himself He therefore rehearseth the whole charge of the Parliament pronoun the Chancellor and to the first points touching the liberties of the Church maintenance of the Laws and observations for the Peace the Commons making low curtesies rendred therefore most humble thanks and pray God for the execution of the same To the aid required for the King he sheweth how in the last Parliament upon the like motion to the Commons repeating the great charges of the King by the Treasurer they then made answer that they saw no such cause of aid whereunto for the King it was then replyed that the Kings Coronation was chargeable and that if the Commons would grant such reasonable aid whereby the King might thereby provide an army that they nothing doubted but that the King of himself might continue the same without charging them of long time upon which promise and hope the Commons did then grant the same large aid and being now unable to do the same require pardon thereof thinking that a great part of the same grant remained yet in the Kings Treasury The said Sir Richard le Scroop not knowing any such promise of discharge made in the last Parliament charging them with unâ—ruth for surmising any rest of the last grant to be And thereto calleth for witness William Walworth and Iohn Philpot Citizens of London and Treasurers appointed and sworn Thereupon the Commons make request to know how and in what manner the same sums were defraied whether some were not therefore indebted and who should be Councellors and great Officers

Hilary in the Third year of Richard the Second THe same Monday being the 17. of Ianuary as well the King in proper person as sundry Bishops Lords and Commons came to Westminster where for that divers Lords were not come by reason of great rain late before fallen nor sundry Sheriffs returned their Writs the Parliament by the Kings commandment was adjourned untill the next day and thereof open declaration made in the Chamber de Pinct with charge that all men do return the same next morning The Tuesday following the King with divers Bishops Lords and Commons came into the said Chamber de Pinct where the Knights and Burgesses were called After which Sir Richard le Scroop Knight Chancellor of England by the Kings commandment declared the causes of the same Assembly First for the liberties of the Church maintenance of the Laws and preservation of the Peace Secondly for that the Regality of the Kings Crown was greatly impaired by sundry means as well by the Court of Rome as otherwise wherein the provisions therefore made were as well to be executed as further remedy to be provided for Thirdly to consult how to resist not only the Enemies of France Spain and Scotland who had raised hot wars but also to suppress the Rebels of Ireland and Gascoin and how to defend the Kings dominions beyond the seas All which for that the same could not be accomplished without their aid he willed them to be advised thereof shewing them further that the Lords of the Great Council should when they would make them privy as well to the receipts of the last Grant and Subsidies of Staple-ware as of the disbuâ—sing of the same Receivers of Petitions for England Ireland Wales and Scotland Receivers of Petitions for Gascoin and other places beyond the seas and of the Isles Tryers of Petitions for England Ireland Wales and Scotland Tryers of Petitions for Gascoin c. as above After which the Lords and Commons were eftsoons assembled in Parliament where the Chancellor made further declaration of the causes of their Assembly shewing of the Grant made by them at Gloucester of the new increase of Woolls and Six pence of every Twenty shillings in merchandise or wares and the revocation of the same at the next Parliament upon grant of singular persons which was promised to have been able to have furnished Twenty thousâ—nd men of Arms and so many Archers where the charge of the Soldiers came to Fifty thousand besides many other charges there declared for the which the King stood indebted whereof he willed them to have due consideration After their charge given to the Commons they returned
require therein requiring due consideration of the Commons poor estate being sundry wayes greatly impoverished Whereupon was delivered unto them by the Kings great Officers and Councel a Schedule containing divers particular charges amounting to the sum of one hundred and fifty thousand pounds The Commons after came before the Lordsâ— requiring a moderation of the same sum and that it would please them to consult how the same might be levied After long debate betwixt the Lords and Commons for the levying of this sum as by sundry particular devices doth there appear the Commons offered to give an aid so as the Clergy who had the third part of the Realm would thereof pay one third part which was fifty thousand marks and the Commons an hundred thousand marks The Clergy answered That they were not to grant any aid by Parliament but of their free wills and therefore willed the Commons to do their duties and they would do their own Hereupon the Lords and Commons granted to the King of every person being man or woman passing the age of 15 years and being no begger twelve pence to be levied of every person of every parish according to their estate so as the rich doth bear with the poor and that the richest for him and his wife be not set above twenty shillings and the most poor for him and his wife no lesse then one groat They also grant to the King the Subsidies of Wools from the Feast of S. Martin then ensuing unto the Feast of the Nativity of our Lady then following in such wise as was granted in the last Parliament Sir Ralph of Ferriers knight who was arrested by the Duke of Lancaster on the Marches of Scotland for suspition of Treason as adhering unto the French the Kings enemies was brought into the Parliament before the Lords to answer thereto Divers Letters under the hand and seal of Arms of the said Sir Ralph and sent to sundry French Lords as to the Lord de la River the Earl of Longvile the Lord de Clisson the Lord Admiral and others were openly shewed and read in Parliament before the said Sir Ralph The contents of the Letters were humble commends and certification how that he in the behalf of the French had taken league and confirmed alliance with the Scots and to c. made the first payment requiring them to make the second payment occurrences touching the preparation of the English against the French request to remember his Fee and to give credit to the bearers of these Letters who were to say much and also touching the delivery of the Infants of Bois The Letters to the French Admiral willed him about Michaelmas to arrive about London where he should have a fair day to lay up Clerks the bearer of the same Letter for that he had discovered his Councel had it not been for the promise of 2000 Franks The bearers of these Letters and Entents were his said Clark one Iohn Fry and another but the most faithful were Frier William and Cannon who were often Liegers in France The Letter of Frier William to the same Sir Ralph sheweth how he sped well with the whole Councel of France that a way was found for Clark that he would bring the ransoms of the Infants of Boys and his annuity or see of the French The same Sir Ralph being brought into the Parliament by the Marshal of England required Councel which was denied him he then being willed to answer to those Letters beginneth a long circumstance of his acquaintance in France of his service there in King Edward the thirds time at which time he kept holds when others did not how he was Captain of Callis In which times he might have done hurt and did not he therefore alledged the same to prove innocency and the unlikelihood of this Whereupon the said Sir Ralph was remanded to prison and divers of his familiers being called into the Parliament house as the Parson of Brington and others together with the Beggar who first found these letters beside London the whole matter was examined and for that it appeared that certain of the Letters sent by the same Sir Ralph to the parties beyond the Seas were sealed together with other Letters senâ— from thence to the same Sir Ralph also sealed all of one hand and for that also that the seal was larger then the seal of the said Sir Ralph it seemed forged by some of his enemies for his overthrow In the end the same Sir Ralph being once or twice urged to answer whether these Letters were his or no answered That he did not remember that they were his own letters and that he was ready to approve as they should think good before which his last answer he offered the combate with any that would where from he was put And therefore as otherwise the Lords thought the same Sir Ralph to be thereof innocent wherefore he was committed to the custodies of the Earls of Warwick Stafford Salisbury Northumberland to Reynold Grey of Ruthen and the Prior of S. who became pledges body for body for the said Sir Ralph to answer when he should be called between that and the next Parliament and so the said Sir Ralph was set at large the said Letters and his Seal being of silver were delivered into the custody of Sir Iohn Cavendish chief Justice of England The Beggers being thought to be privy to this falsehood was committed to prison the Parson of Brington and other the friends of the same Sir Ralph being delivered Petitions of the Commons with their Answers That the great Charter and Charter of the Forrest and other Statutes of the

whom Master Robert Braybrook Bishop of London and Chancellor of England by the Kings Commandement declared the cause of the Parliament to be for maintenance of the Liberties of the Church and preservation of the Laws and peace of the Realm He then remembring them of that their ayde granted in the last Parliament and of the Kings purpose to go into Flanders for the voyage of the French sheweth that since the last Parliament heavy tydings came how that the French King had subjected to himself the whole Countrie of Flanders except the town of Gaunt and that upon the same tydings the King called a great Councell at Westminster by which it was determined that the King should pass in person to the rescue of the town of Gaunt if safely with his honour he might so do And that now therefore the Parliament was called for them to consult whether it were best for the King to go in person or to send an Army and for mony to maintain the same with the Circumstances thereto belonging the which he willed them fully to digest and to make speedy answer Receivers of Petitions for England Ireland Wales and Scotland Receivers of Petitions for Gascoyn and other places beyond the Seas and of the Isls. Tryers of Petitions for England c. as above Tryers of Petitions for Gascoyn c. as above After the Commons had debated two daies of the same charge they besought the King to assign to them certain Lords there named to consult with them which was granted albeit it were at the election of the King to assign these Lords or others at his pleasure This done after long deliberation of the Commons of the rates aforesaid they came into the Parliament before the Kings presence and the Lords when Sir Iames Pickering Knight then Speaker after the Common Protestation made saith That albeit the same their consultation did properly appertain unto the King and Lords yet since it stood with their pleasures to charge the Commons therewith their conceit was that it had been best for the King in person to have enterprized a voyage which for that it could not for sundry reasons be they thought it best that the Bishop of Norwich having the Popes Crosary for persecuting the Anti-Pope his adherents should take upon him the quarrell against the French whereof was hope of good success he saith further that considering the Scots were so lusty that they would not agree to any reasonable league whereby we are like to have war which to us was accounted most dangerous they thought that the King or his Uncles of Lancaster Cambridge or Buckingham might not in any wise be spared out of the Realm untill with Scotland some certain order were taken the which they spake not by way of Counsell but to shew their advise whereto for the King was said a little difference to be between Counsell and advise The proffer of the Bishop of Norwich to the King and Lords in the beginning of the Parliament was so as the King would gâ—ant to him the whole 15 th and 10 th granted in the last Parliament with the 6 d. of every pound Merchandize and 2 s. of every Tun of Wine lately granted for the safe keeping of the Seas he would in seasonable time of the year furnish and send into France 3000. men at Armes and 3000. Archers of whom 500. men at Armes and 500 Archers should be appointed to keep the Sea and further that if he might have the West-Admirall to attend he would before March ensuing appoint for the defence of the Sea great Ships of War and Barges well appointed Petitions of the Commons with their Answers IT is enacted that the Liberties of the Church the great Charter and Charter of the Forrest be maintained That for the grant of vi d. of every pound of Merchandize and ii s. of every tun of Wine the Seas may be well kept The Chancellor and other Officers there named shall provide as speedie remedie as may be That the King will provide for the defence of the Marches of Scotland and namely for Barwick and Carlile and that some truce or peace may be taken The Duke of Lancaster and other Lords are sent thither of purpose to take order therein That the Statute of Purveyors may be observed and that ready payment may be made The Statute therefore made shall be observed That the most approved wisemen may be chose to be chief Officers for the governance of the Realm that their names might be known to the Parliament and they not removed without good cause The King by advise of his Lords shall appoint such Officers as shall like him whom he meaneth not to remove before the next Parliament The print touching the pardon Cap. 1. far swerveth from the Record That able men may be appointed to be of Counsell about the Kings Person and that an order may be taken for the Kings houshold so as he may live upon his own The King therein will be advised of his Lords and take such orders as may be for his honour At the request of the Commons it is enacted that the Citie of London shall injoy all such liberties as they had in the time of King E. 3. or as were to them confirmed by the King now saving to all Strangers their Liberties confirmed and saving that Victuallers should have no particular Liberties by themselves but to be under the rule of the Major In short time after the Bishop of Norwich had advised himself he came before the King and Lords and offeredâ— so as the King would allow to him the fifteenth last granted by the Commons he would serve the King one whole year in his wars within France with 3000. men at Armes and 2500. Archers well horsed and appointed the which offer was thought to be very good and for the Kings honour but for that the King would not adventure any of his Subjects unless he knew who should be Chieftain or Lievetenant considering the Bishops profession was to the contrary he required to know who they should be the Bishop would not that declare unless the King did assent to his offer saying that if it were his pleasure so to do they then should be as ready and worthy persons as any were within the Realm his own person and others of the bloud excepted The King accepteth his offer whereupon the Bishop gave him four names of them willing him to chose one such for his Lievetenant as he thought good After the view of whom the King would not seem to choose any Nobleman whereby it was assented that if the Bishop
could not of his own accord agree with any Nobleman for his Lievetenant that then the Bishop should take upon him the charge and generall lycense was granted to all men to pass on with the same Bishop except the retinew of the King and other Nobles After this the Commons desired the King to grant audience to the Lord de la War who was lately arrived from Spain and was to declare how the King might come to an honourable peace with Spain the which they much desired whereto was an answer made that the King would advise with his Councell and therein do what should appertain to his honour Anno Septimo Richardi Secundi Rex c.

thereof to the King and his Councell The Commons were urged to know whether they desired Peace of War for one must they chose They answered an honourable Peace for the King but for that in the Articles were contained many terms of the Civill-Law which they understood not and for that as they understood the Articles were that the King should have Guienne of the French by homage and service they knew not what to say only they hope that the King meant not to hold Callice and other Terrytories gotten by Sword of the French Whereto was said that otherwise Peace could not be granted and therefore willed the Commons to chose Peace or War who in the end rather desired Peace The Abbot of St. Edmonds Burie by a long Bill sheweth how the men of the same Town were pardoned for their late Insurrections so as they did find sufficient Sureties for their good Behaviour to the Abbot and his Successors and further sheweth that the Towns-men hitherto had shifted the same and prayeth that they may enter into Recognizance for the same which condition they in Record expressed The Prior and Covent of Montague being an Alien by their Petition declared how Sir William Seymor upon a Sciri Facias to execute a Fine for the Mannour of Omdu-Hall with the appurtenances in Somerset brought against the said Prior and Covent in the Kings Bench recovered there the said Mannour He sheweth further how the said Sciri Facias was purchased hanging a Writ of right against the said Prior to which Writ the said Prior appeared and that the said Prior was over ruled to plead further and no entrie thereof made he further sheweth matter and prayeth ayde of the King and it was over ruled without entrie thereof made whereupon he beseecheth that the roll may be newly made and amended due entries made as in the roll is mentioned which by the advise of the Justices and others their learned Counsell was granted and made wherein for the Prothonotarie or Bean-pleader are goodly forms and directions After which amendment and enrollment granted the said Prior and Covent by a Petition sheweth the old matter and Record and for certain errors therein contained prayeth the Examination and reversall of the said Judgment in Parliament and his Sciri Facias framed upon the said case to warn the said Richard to appear at the next Parliament to abide the order of the same and therein no protection be allowed for the said Richard and further that the old process and Record be at the same next Parliament all which were granted Petitions of the Commons with their Answers IT is enacted that the liberties of the Church the great Charter and the Charter of the Forrest be maintained That no Sherriff Under-Sherriff or Escheator do remain in the office above one year The Statute made therefore shall be observed That where the Aldermen of London are yearly chosen and returned at the feast of St. Gregory the Pope they require that free choice may be made of the most able men as well of such as were the year before as of others and that yearly The King granteth thereunto as long as thereby is good government in the City Sundry Countries pray the King to make an allowance to such as have been Sherriffs for such summes as they could not receive and that provision may be made for all such as shall succeed As in times past the Chancellor and Treasurer may make allowance and for the rest the King will provide They require that the Statute made against Ravishers in the 6 th year of this King may be revoked The Statute shall continue saving to the King and other Lords their forfeiture Anno Octavo Richardi Secundi Rex c.

Incumbit nobis ordinare pro Regno and that is to say It is the Kings will to be governed by the Honorable Discreet and Sage of the Realm and by their common consent and not by his own will ne after his own fashion to rule the same And further enforced that this Realm of any under the Sun might best live of it self and for proof alledged this Authority quod inter Regna hoc principatum tenet 4 He further addeth that to every good government three things belong viz. Justice the Laws duely observed and every Estate in his vocation well governed and thereupon heaped many reasons whereof this Realm ought with all renown to be governed and said further that the King meant to observe those three points 5 He concluded that King Henry their Lord meant to be crowned the Monday ensuing and after that done wholly to addict himself to matters touching the Common-Wealth and prayeth of the Commons the continuance of the Parliament untill the Tuesday ensuing after which Henry de Percie Earl of Northumberland and Constable of England demanded of the Lords and Commons by the Kings commandment whether they would agree to the same continuance who all being severally examined agreed thereunto 6 Receivers of Petitions for England Ireland Wales and Scotland 7 Receivers of Petitions for Gascoin and other places beyond the Seas and of the Isles 8 Tryars of Petitions for England c. as above 9 Tryars of Petitions for Gascoin c. as above The Record of the renunciation of King Richard the Second and the acceptation of the same together with the deposition of the said King 10 On Monday the Feast of St. Michaell in the 23 year of the raign of King Richard The Archbishop of Canterbury the Bishop of Hereford Henry Earl of Northumberland Ralph Earl of Westmerland Hugh Lord Burnell Thomas Lord Berkley the Prior of Canterbury and the Abbot of Westminster William Thurming Knight William Markham Justice Thomas Stow Iohn Burâ—ach Doctors of the Law Thomas of Erpinham and Thomas Gray Knights William Forraby and Dennis Lopham publique Notaries by the assent of sundry of the Lords Spirituall and Temporall and other Lawyers of of all faculties gathered in Councell in Westminster in the place accustomed appointed to execute the Act here underwritten came to the presence of King Richard being in the Tower about nine of the clock 11 The Earl of Northumberland for and in the name of them all remembred the said King Richard of his promise made to the said Arch-Bishop and to him the said Earl at Conway in Wales at what time the said King Richard was at libertie How that he for certain defaults and inabillities in himself to rule would renounce and give up the Crowns of England and France with the whole rule of the same and that by the best advice that could be devised King Richard thereto mildly answered That he would willingly accomplish the same 12 After this the same day Henry Duke of Lancaster accompanied with the persons aforesaid with the Arch-Bishop of Canterbury the Lords of Roos Willoughby and of Burgaveny came into the Tower into the presence of the said King Richard where after familiar talk had between the King the Duke and Arch Bishop of Canterbury and sundry chearfull countenances In the end the same King calling all them that were present said openly That he was ready to make his aforesaid Renunciation and thereupon it was offered that the Instrument should be read by an Order The same King notwithstanding willingly and chearfully took and throughly read the same Instrument in effect following 13 The Instrument contained a clear absolution and discharge of all his Subjects Oaths and Obeysance with free renouncing of all Regiment and Rule and all things belonging thereto to all which he swore upon the Gospell never in thought word or deed to impugn but wholly to observe the same the which Scedule or Instrument he subscribed with his own hand 14 After which done the same King by word affirmed That if it had been in his power he would have appointed the said Duke of Lancaster to have succeeded him which sith it did not he required the said Arch Bishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of Hereford whom he made his Procurators to publish the same to the whol Estates and in token thereof pulled from his own finger a Ring of Gold of his own privy Signet and put the same on the Dukes finger 15 This company bidding the King farewell departed out of the Tower and came the next day into the great Hall of Westminster the place being honorably garnished for the Parliament where the said Arch-Bishop and Duke and other Bishops and Lords after named together with the Commons siting in their accustomed place where also the Kings Seat being very richly decked was void of any President Aâ— which time the Arch-Bishop of Canterbury and Bishop of Hereford caused the renunciation aforesaid to be openly read and declared with all other circumstances of which the Arch Bishop as chief was first demanded and so orderly of all others whether they would admit the same Confession or no all who particularly
admitted the same 16 After which admission it was thought good and expedient over and above the same to expresse by certain Articles the evill government of the King whereby he ought justy to be deposed 17 First was alledged the Kings Oath made at his Coronation 18 The Objections and Articles laid against the King Richard wherefore he was deposed are in the whole the number of 33 worth the noting and well marking 19 First for wasting and bestowing of the lands of the Crown upon unworthy persons and over charging the Commons with Exactions 20 For that the King by undue means procured divers Justices to speak against the Law to the destruction of the Duke of Gloucester and the Earls of Arundell and Warwick at Shrewsbury 21 For that the King against his promise procured the Duke of Ireland sundry Rebels about Cheshire where diverse murders by him were committed 22 For that the King against his own promise and pardon at the solemne procession apprehended the Duke of Gloucester and sent him to Callice there to be choked and murdered beheading the Earl of Arundell and banishing the Earl of Warwick and the Lord Cobham 23 For that the Kings retinue and rout gathered out of Cheshire about the apprehension of those Nobles committed diverse Murders Rapes and other Fellonies besides refusing to pay for their Victualls 24 For that the King condemned the Nobles aforesaid for diverse rodes made within the Realm contrary to his open Proclamation 25 For that the King doubly Fined men for their pardons 26 For that the King to oppress his whole Subjects procured in his lâ—st Parliament that the power thereof was committed to certain Persons 27 For that the King being sworne to minister right did notwithstanding enact in the last Parliament that no mediation should be made for the Duke of Lancaster contrary to his said Oath 28 For that the Crown of England being freed from the Pope and all other forraign power the King notwithstanding procured the Popes Excommunication on such as brake the last Parliament in derogation of the Crown Statutes and Laws of the Realm 29 For that the King banished the Duke of Lancaster for 10. years without any cause as the same King openly affirmed 30. For that the King unlawfully revoked the Letters Patents made to the said Duke of Lancaster as in An 21.

It farther sheweth the said Earl to be allyed in bloud to the King from Thomas Earl of Lancaster It also affirmeth the said Earl to be allied in bloud to the King by the line of the Earl of Arundell To all this Sr. Walter Beauchamp Knight being of the Councell learned of the Earl of Warr. answereth and by many authorities sheweth that Antiquitie hath had superioritie above the bloud royall and so enforced the title of the Earl of Warr. but chiefly he relyeth upon the possession of the Earl of Warwick Herein is to be noted that the affirmations answers and replications of both parties being very long contain many good reasons and sundry lines of Noble-men very delectable to be read The Councell for both these Earles were instant for Judgement in the end it was devised and the said Earl Marshall for pacifying of the same required that he might be restored to be Duke of Norfolk according to the Creation of Thomas his father as brother and heir to Thomas who died without issue son of the said Thomas his father the which for sundry considerations worthy the sight was granted On Friday the fifteenth day of May the Duke of Gloucester by the Kings Letters Patents there read proroged the Parliament from the same day unto the Thursday then ensuing Iohn Lord Talbot with other Lords there named were bound by recognizance in the Chancery that the said Iohn should keep the peace towards Hugh Wenlockward that he should appear at the next Parliament The Lords of the Parliament by name promised by their faiths to the Bishop of VVinchester that they will not hinder but further such assurance as shall be made to the said Bishop by the King for money to him lent The Commons by the assent of the Bishops and Lords grant to the King the Subsidie of wools for three years and Tonnage and Poundage for one year upon condition that Merchants Aliens should hardly be looked unto Touching the charge of Scotish hostages according to one Article of league it is enacted that the Wardens of the Marches shall not hereafter be impeached for attempting any hostage for the other but that upon their oathes they be discharged And further that they may take two or more hostages for one as of good will and no duty It is enacted that the quarrell and combat betwixt the Duke of Gloucester and Duke of Burgaine do in no case proceed but that the same by the Kings Letters Patents be committed to the old French King the Kings mother and to the regent of France and that the Duke of Burgain do deliver into indifferent hands the person of my Lord of Gloucester It is enacted that the Kings Councell shall have power to make assurances to the Bishop of Winchester and other of the
