Barons of the Realm the rather because that speech is accompanied with the words Common-Councell and for that also the selfe same Author doth afterward use the words Comunis assensus Baronagii when he intendeth to signifie a just Parliament Ingulphus who died before 1109. saith Rex Eldredus convocavit magnates Episcopos proceres optimates ad tractandum de publ negotiis Regni Howbeit since I labour not with any penurie of proof I wil relinquish the advantage of this matter desiring only that they may be called to memorie which Polydore Virgil hath before acknowledged concerning the restitution of the form of the Parliament made by this very same King of whom also the Saxon Chronicles of Peterborough Abby do testifie that in the yeare after Christ 1123. he sent his writers over all England and bad his Bishshops Abbots and all his Theignes which signifie asmuch as Barons before that they should come to his Witena Gemote on Candlemas day to Glocester But to leave him and to leap over Stephen because he hath striven longer for the Crown then he enjoyed it King Henry the second saith Mathew Paris in the year of our Lord Christ 1185. Convocavit Clericos Regni populum cum omni nobilitate apud fontem Clericorum And yet again to passe over his two sons Richard and John whereof the one spent the most part of his Raign in battell abroad and the other in Civill warrs at home I read in the same Author that King Henry the third did in the year of our Lord 1225. call together Omnes Clericos laicos totius regni Which assembly the same writer also in some places expresseth by the words Vniversitas regni but what need I to hang long on the credit of Historians seeing from this time downward the authentique writers of the Parliaments themselves do offer mee present help The great Charter of England which passed from this King about this time and for which the English men had no lesse striven than the Trojans for their Helena beareth no shew of an Act of Parliament and yet I will prove by the Depositions of two sundry Parliaments That it was made by the comon assent of all the Realme in the time of King Henry the third for so saith the statute called Confirmatio Chartae Anno. 25. E. 1. in flat Termes and the statute made at Westminster Anno. 25. E. 3. Cap. 1. saith that it was made by the King Peeres and Commons of the land in the 20. year of the same King Henry the statute of Mert●n was published which saith thus Provisum fuit consessum tam a praedictis Archiepiscopis Episcopis Comitibus Baronibus quam ab ipso rege aliis And in the 52. yeare of his raign was the statute of Marle-bridge made provideat as it self speaketh ipso domino rege ac convocatis discetioribus eiusdem Regni tam majoribus quam minoribus provisum est statutum c. The statute of Westminster the first which was made in the third yeare of E. 1. hath this title The establishments of King Edward made by this Councell and by the Assent of the Archbishops Bishops Abbots Earles Barons and all the Comonalty of the land thither sumoned The statute made at Gloucester in the 6. year of the same Kings raign is there said to be thus made Purrelant le Roy apelles le pluis discretes de son Royalme auxibien des greinders come des meindres establie est concordantment ordenie To draw to an end King Edward the second held a Parliament in the 14. year of his raign wherein are these words Le Roy per assent des Prelates Counts Barons tout le Comunaltie de son Realme en le Parliament c. and the like speech hath he in another statute that he made Ne quis occasionetur pro morte Petri de Gaveston I do not think that I shall need to speake for further proofes amongst the Records of Parliaments after this time for they do from henceforth not only shew themselves in such store and plenty but also set forth the severall states themselves the duty of their presence the paines of their default or departure and sundry other circumstances so particularly and plainly that as I might well be charged if you would stand upon them in a matter not doubtfull to have used speech nothing at all needfull and yet least any man should suspect that any of the two estates of this Assemblie derived his voice in Parliament from the authority of any of these later lawes I must leave him to understand that in one short Statute of Parliament holden in the 5 year of King Richard 2. statute 2. ca. 4. he may reade it 4. severall times plainly spoken that this was done anciently and of old time So that here again also Prescription is ready to serve the turne and to say the truth this one law may stand for an Interpreter of all the rest for whether they be said to be made by the King and his Barons or by the King and his Clergie and Laytie or by the King and his discreeter men both great and small or by the common Assent of all the Realme as I have already shewed or by the King and his Wisemen or by the King and his Councell or his Comon-Councell or by the King Earles Barons and other Wisemen or after such other like phrases whereof you may meet with many in the volumes of Parliament it cometh all to this one point namely that the King his Nobilitie and Commons did ordaine them And which is more if you shall find any act of Parliament seeming to passe under the name and authoritie of the King only as some have that shew indeed yet you must not by and by judge that it was established without the Assent of the other estates To take one example for the rest The statute of Gloucester made the 6. E. 1. speaketh thus Our soveraigne Lord the King for the amendment of the land hath provided the statutes under-written c. But yet the statutes made at Westminster in the 13 year of that King and the statute of Quo Warranto set forth in the ●0 year of that King also ●eciting that statute of Gloucester do plainly acknowledge the one that it was provided by the more discreet men of the Realme aswell of the high as of the low degree being called together and the other that it was made by the King calling together the Earles Prelates Barons and his Councell And therefore it was well noted by Judge Brook That though magna Charta and sundry other old statutes do run in the name of the Prince only yet the other estates are supplyed in all good understanding Againe whether the forme of an Act be thus The King with the Assents of the Lords and Commons doth establish or thus It is enacted at the request of the Lords and Commons whereto the King assenteth or thus by the

might not be put off to shew cause from day to day which rather increaseth trouble and charges than either furthereth the suit for the hearing or benefits the parties in their cause Which thing whether it might be more couvenient than the present manner of motions I will leave to the judgement of such as have more wisdom to devise and power to execute And will sum up the rest of our Courts and make an end The Court of the Dutchy or County Palatine of Lancaster which is by a late Act of Parliament committed to the custody of a Commissioner grew out of the grant of King Edward the third The Court formerly called The Dutchy Court the jurisdiction whereof is now committed to a Commissioner or Commissioners County Palatine of Lanc. erected in Parliament 50 E. 3. and Iustices of Assises Gaole delivery and of the Peace have been since the erection of it Cook lib. 4. f. 204. 205. who first gave that Dutchie to his Son John of Gaunt and endowed it with such royall rights as the County Palatine of Chester had And forasmuch as it was afterward extincted in the person of King Henry the 4th by reason of the union of it with the Crown of the Realm the same King knowing himself more rightfully Duke of Lancaster then King of England determined to save his right in the Dutchy whatsoever should befall the Kingdom And therefore he separateth his Dutchy from the Crown and setleth it so in the naturall persons of himself and his heirs as if he had been no King or Pollitique Body at all in which manner it indured during the reign of King Henry the first and of King Henry the 6th that were descended of him But when King Edward the 4th had by recovery of the Crown recontinued the right of the House of York he feared not to appropriate that Dutchie to the Crown again And yet so as he suffered the Court and Officers to remain as he found them And in this manner it came together with the Crown to King Henry the 7th who liking well of that policy of King Henry the fourth by whose right he also obteined the Kingdom made by separation of the Dutchie as he hath done and so left it to his posterity It appeareth in our Books of the Tearms of King Edward the 4th The Star Chamber and the Report of cases happening under the usurpation of Richard the third This Court was in being before 28 E. 3. Cook lib. That sometimes the King and his Counsell And sometimes the Lord Chancellour and other great personages did use to sit Judiciall in the place then and lately called for that it is decked with certain Stats the Star Chamber But forasmuch as be like that Assembly was not ordinary therefore the next King Henry the 7th and his Son Henry the 8th took order by two severall Laws That the Chancellour assisted with others there named should have power to hear complaints against Reteinors Embraceries misdemeanours of Offices and such other offences which through the power and countenance of such as do commit them do lift up the head above other faults and for the which inferiour Judges are not so meet to give correction And because that place was before time dedicated to the like service it hath ever since also been so used untill it was taken away in the late King Charls his reign The Court of Requests The Court of the Requests being of the same nature as I said with the Chancery took beginning by Commission from King Henry the 8. before which time the Masters of the Requests had no warrant of ordinary Jurisdiction This Court had no warrant by act of Parliament or prescription to establ shit Cook lib. 4. fol. 97. but travailed between the Prince and Petitioners by direction from the mouth of the King The same King also established one Court of President and Counsell in the Marches of Wales 34. 35. H. 8. The Court of the Marches of Wales and that of the North parts were taken away in the late K Ch. his reign Anno 17. Car. And another like Court of President and Counsell in the North parts which Court in Wales was a Court of Law in its principall Jurisdiction although it did withall exercise other powers of equity by vertue of other severall Commissions that did accompany the same and the Court of York was in its principall Jurisdiction Equity and did exercise other powers by vertue of other Commissions Court of Wards The Court of Wards began about the 32th year of the reign of King Henry the 8 who also in the next year after added thereto the office of the Masters of the Liveries and withall conjoyned the names ordaining that it should be called The Court of his Wards and Liveries The same King likewise had erected one Court of the generall Surveiours of his Lands and one other of the Augmentations and Revenues of his Crown and a third Court of the first fruits and Tithes of Benefices But all these were afterwards dissolved and by Queen Mary united to the Court of Exchequer Thus having run along these Courts deriving them from the Crown I might proceed yet further to shew the originall and beginnings of some Courts erected by the late Parliament and the nature and beginning of the High Court of Justice that was erected in Westminster Hall Anno 1648. but they being so fresh in the memory of this age I shall not need to make mention thereof FINIS
