How the King understood that the Pope for the homâ—ge that King Iohn did to the See of Rome for the Realm of England and Ireland and for the tribute by him granted meant by process to cite the King to Rome to answer thereto wherein the King required their advice what was best for him to doe if any such thing were attempted The Bishops by themselves required respite of an answer untill the next day so did the Lords and Commons every one of them by themselves The same next day the whole Estate came together and by common consent enacted in effect following Viz. Forasmuch as neither King Iohn nor any other King could bring his Realm and Kingdom in such thraldom and subjection but by common assent of Parliament the which was not done And therefore that which he did was against his Oath at his Coronation besides many other causes If therefore the Pope should attempt any thing against the King by process or other matters in deed that the King with all his Subjects should with all their force and power resist the same At this present day the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge and Fryers of the four Orders Mendicants in the said Universities made long complaint one against the other to the King in Parliament and in the end submitted themselves to the Kings Order After which the Lords upon full digesting tâ—e whole matâ—er by assent of Parliament took order That as well the Chancellor and Schollers as the the â—riars of those Orders in the said Universities should in all Graces and other School-Exercises use each other in friendly wise without any rumor as before And that none of those Orders should receive any Scholar into their said Orders being under the age of eighteen years That the Friars should take no advantage nor procure any Bull or any other Process from Rome against the said Universities or proceed therein That the King have power to redress all Controversies between them from henceforth and the offenders to be punished at the pleasure of the King and of his Council The Parliament continued until Monday the 11. of May The Chancellor then declared how the King had married the Lady Isabel his daughter to the Lord Cowcy who had fair living in England and elswhere and that it were for the honor of the King to create him an Earl which all the Lords thought good but for that the King was not determined of what name there was no more therein done At this time Sir Thomas Ludlow Chief Baron of the Exchequer shewed to the whole Estate how William the son and heir of William Stevens who held diversly of the King in chief as of the Crown had by Writ of Aetate probanda sued out Livery out of the Kings hands whereas the said William the son for long time should be within age as by a long Schedule may appear Whereupon the whole Estate upon sight of the said William the son adjudged him to be within age and therefore took order that all his hereditaments so sued out of the Kings hands should be eftsoons reseised into the Kings hands untill his full age and that all Obligations Charters Statutes Recognisances and all other Writings made by the said William the son should be void Note the Judgment is strange This done the King gave thanks to the whole Estates and licensed every one to depart and so the Parliament ended Anno Quadragesimo secundo Edwardi Tertii Rex primogenito suo Edwardo Principi Aquitaniae Walliae c. apud Westmonasterium primo die Maii.

Saviours in Normandie while he was Captain there and of the Town of Brotherel in Brittain and of other Towns and Forts The same Lord was accused as a partaker of all the evils of Richard Lyons aforesaid particularly Whereunto the said Lord Latimer saving the tryall of his Peers offered to answer any particular persons but that would not the Commons do but generally as is aâ—oresaid Whereupon the said Lord answered every Objection and as it should seem very well avoided them in open Parliament notwithstanding there was the judgment of him in form following For that the Lord Latimer is found in full Parliament in default by his singular Councel and government against the profit of the King and Realm and namely for divers Chevisances to the Kings losse for grants procured to the destruction of the Staple and of the Town of Callis and for divers Impositions laid upon Wools he was awarded in full Parliament by the Bishops and Lords to be in prison in the keeping of the Marshall and to make fine and ransom at the Kings pleasure whereupon the Commons required that he might lose all his Offices and no longer be of the Kings Councel which the King granted And the said Lord Latimer in Parliament found certain Lords and others his Mainprisors for the forth coming of his body during the Parliament as by a Schedule doth appear and by this Mainprize the Marshall of England so offered him to be at large In the Schedule are his Mainprisors viz. one Archbishop three Bishops one Prior of S. Iohn three Earls fifteen Barons and thirteen Knights all their degrees of best renown William Ellis of great Yarmouth was accused of sundry extortions by him done while he was Farmer of the Kings petit customes there and Deputie to Richard Lyons for the Subsidie of sixpence in the pound granted to the King as by the Parliament it doth appear To which Accusation is seemeth that the said William Ellis sufficiently answered notwithstanding judgment was that he should be committed to prison and make fine at the Kings pleasure Iohn Peach of London was accused for procuring a license under the Great Seal that he only might sell sweet Wine in London and that by colour thereof he took four shillings four pence of every man for every Tun thereof sold the which he justified as lawfully he might notwithstanding judgment was given that he should be committed to prison at the Kings will besides recompence to all parties grieved The Lord Iohn Nevil was accused that during the time that he was of the Kings Privy Councel he should buy certain debts due by the King namely of the Lady Ravâ—nsham and Simon Love Merchant far under the value and for receiving of the King more wages and for a longer time for a hundred souldiers in Brittain then was due Of the Ladies own good will for the obtaining her debt he confesseth to have received ninety five pound which was not disproved Of Love he denied any such to be Love being thereupon brought into the Parliament wholly excuseth the same Lord. But because Love had the day before confessed the contrary before two Knights of the House he was committed to prison To the receiving of wages the same Lord fully cleereth himself notwithstanding judgement of Imprisonment and losse of lands and goods and offices was given of him as on others before and that he should make restitution of the ninety five pounds to the Executors of the said Ladie The King ordaineth that from thenceforth no woman should for maintenance pursue any matter in the Kings Courts and namely Alice Perrers upon losse of all that they have and banishment for ever out of the Realm An Order that the Prior of Ecclefield an alien should exhibit his Bill of Complaint against the Lord Latimer for the Parsonage of Ecclefield which the said Lord had wrongfully caused to be recovered against the said Prior. For that Adam de Bury was accused of divers deceits and wrongs done by him while he was Major of Callice and Captain of Bellingham as hereafter may appear and was sent for to come unto the Parliament and came not nor yet could be found It was agreed that all his Goods and Chattels should be arrested and so they were The Bishop of Norwich supposeth an erronious Judgment to be given against him in the Common Place for the Archdeaconry of Norwich belonging to his Presentation and prayeth that those Errors might be heard and redress thereof whereunto Answer was made that Errors by Law in the Common place are to be corrected in the Kings Bench and of the Kings Bench in the Parliament and not otherwise As well at the complaint of the men of Leistock as the pursuit of the Commons the grant late made by the King to the Town of great Yarmouth that one place in the Sea called Kirklerode annexed to the Port of Yarmouth should be utterly repealed saving all other their Liberties On Wednesday the day after S. Iohn at the request of the Commons came into the open Parliament before the Lords and Commons Richard Burdeaux the son and heir of Edward late Prince of Wales and heir apparent to the Realm of whom after the Archbishop of Canterbury had spoken words of commendation the Commons with one voice prayed that the Lords would make him Prince of Wales as his Father was who said it laid not in them but in the King only so

Burnell Willielmo Zouch de Harringworth Rogero de Clifford Almarico de Sancto Amando Anno Qunquagesimo primo Edwardi Tertii The Parliament holden at Westminster the Fifteen of S. Hilary in the One and fiftieth Year of Edward the Third IN the Fifteen of S. Hilary being Tuesday next after the Conversion of S. Paul the year aforesaid was the first day of the Parliament At what time the noble and puissant Richard Prince of Wales Duke of Cornwal and Earl of Chester together with the Bishops Lords Justices Commons and others summoned to this Parliament assembled to the Palace at Westminster in the Painted Chamber where the Prince sitting in the Kings own place in the absence of the King being partly diseased the King sent thither his Letters-Patents to the said Prince to begin the Parliament The Commission or said Letters-Patents made to the said Prince After the reading of which Commission the Bishop of S. Davids being Chancellor at the commandment of the said Prince then and there President continued the said Parliament until the next day at nine of the clock in the morning for that divers of the Lords and Commons were not then come The next day the Prince Bishops Lords
and Commons assembled in the place aforesaid where the said Chancellor began his long Oration with S. Paul viz. Libenter suffertis insipientes and applied it That being wise desired to hear him the contrary He proceeded with Scripture as that every Messenger bringing joyful news is welcomed Thereby proving that he should be so for that he brought joyful news of the Kings good recovery of a dangerous sickness By the which he shewed that God loved the King and Realm The King for that quos diligo castigo The King by the Psalmist saying Uxor tua sicut vitis abundans in lateribus and thereby sheweth that for children no Christian Prince was so happy and confirmeth the said happiness by the above saying Et videas filios filiorum which the King saw That God thereby loved the Realm he proved by the recovery of so renowned a Prince and that his recovery to be the Fiftieth year of his Reign the year of Jubile the year of joy for that he would thereby impart to his said Subjects as well spiritual as temporal or bodily comforts He then by the similitude That if the head be sound and some particular member of the body diseased that the said infected member can receive no vertue or salve from the head inferreth that as the King being the sound head and willing to shew grace and favor to the Subjects the members the infected with vice cannot receive the same And therefore perswaded such as would be partakers thereof to conform themselves thereafter by having love without which he proveth by S.

Quomodo stabit regnum c. The which text as to the realm of England he divided into two parts the one by way of admiration the other by way of question He noted causes three viz. want of Faith the which was the root of all vice Eò quod sine side impossibile est placere Deo the second the want of due Fear being the author of every good mind Nam qui nihil timet negliget the third for want of upright Justice being the pillar of every Kingdome namely ex Iustitia sequitur pax ex pace rerum abundantia maxime procreatur In place of which three vertues he shewed that within this realm three vices reigned namely Infidelity by errors and heresies Obstinacy instead of fear and Oppression in place of Justice Through Infidelity he shewed how Iean and the late Kingdome of Bohemia were destroyed Fear he divided into two parts the one spirituall and vertuous as fearing God and man for God the other carnall and vicious as whereby murmure and rebellion spring which procured destruction such as happened to Chore Dathan and Abiram Numb 16. He also proveth that for oppression ensued transferring of kingdomes according to Eccles. 10. regnum alienum in regnum transfertur propter inâ—usâ—icias injurias So farre to the first by way of admiration to the second by way of question He affirmed that if true Faith due Fear and upright Justice might be restored there was then no doubt but that this kingdome should flourish He further sheweth that as the Prince was bound to defend the Subjects and to keep peace so ought the Subjects to minister to the Prince liberally of their goods to the atchieving of the same to which end the same Parliament was called wherefore he willed the Commons to choose and to present their Speaker the next day unto the King Receivers of petitions for England Ireland Wales and Scotland Receivers of petitions for Gascoyne and other places beyond the seas and of the Isles Tryers of petitions for England c. as above Tryers of petitions for Gascoyne c. as above On Friday the second day of the Parliament the Commons by certain of their fellowes declared unto the Lords how they had chosen one William Allington Esquire to be their Speaker and required respite for presenting of him untill the Monday following which was granted On Monday the sixteenth of September the Commons presented before the king and Lords the aforesaid William whose excuse being refused he with the common protestation was allowed The twelfth day of December the Commons by the assent of the Bishops and Lords granted to the King one whole Desme and one fifteen to be levyed of the laity It was enacted that the King and his Councell should treat with the Duke of Burbon touching his ransome For that the King the sixth day of November in this present year in the day of Coronation had taken upon him the protection and defence of this realm It seemeth good to the Bishops and Lords upon good advise that the name and power of Protector and Defendor granted to the Dukes of Bedford and Gloucester should from the same day of Coronation utterly cease and that they the said Dukes should have the name of principall Counsellors any order to the contrary notwithstanding the which name of Protector and Defender as touching his own person the Duke of Bedford in full Parliament did release so alwayes as the same should not hurt the title of Duke of Bedford The twenty ninth day of December the Commons at the Contemplation of Henry Bishop of Winchester and new made Cardinall granted one other Desme and fifteen to be levied of the laity Note the title of the said Cardinall is as followeth Reverendissimus in Christo Pater Dominus Henricus permissione divina titl Sancti Eusebii Presbyterii Cardinalis de Anglia nuncupatus The same Commons do also grant to the King Tonnage and Poundage to continue unto the next Parliament The Chancellor by the Kings commandement declareth how that the King by the assent of the Bishops and Lords had prorogued the same Parliament from the said twentieth day of December unto the Monday next after the feast of St. Hillary then ensuing at Westminster aforesaid For that no Cardinall is to be of any Kings Councell but at his own pleasure the Bishops and Lords assented that humble request should be made to the said Cardinall to vouchsafe to be made of the Councill with this protestation that the said Cardinall should absent himself in all affaires and Councills of the King wherein the Pope or See of Rome was touched upon which request â—o made the Cardinall took upon him the same in form aforesaid The King by common consent hath given to the Lord Talbot being prisoner in France as towards his importable ransome Sir William Bircham Knight a French Prisoner if that the same Sr. William were not to be impeached for the death of the Duke of Burgundy And it

That our Parliaments in former ages have been very carefull to resume all the lands and revenues aliened from the Crown and to reunite them thereunto for the better support of our Kings defraying the publike expences of the Kingdom and the easing of the Subjects from Subsidies and Taxes as 1 R. 2. nâ— 48. 1 H. 4. n. 100. 6 H. 4. n. 14 15. 8 H. 4. n. 29. 52.1 H. 5. c. 9. 28 H. 6. n. 54. 29 H. 6. n. 17. 31 H. 6. c. 7. 35 H. 6. n. 47. 4 E. 4. n. 39 40. 7 E. 4. n. 8. 8 E. 4. n. 26. 13 E. 4. n. 6. and other Records here evidence Neither is this a practice peculiar unto England both in these Parliaments and in former ages but Universal through the world All Monarchs and States having held it for a general and universal Law That the publike Revenues should be holy sacred and inalienable either by Contract or prescription to the end that Princes should not be forced to overcharge their Subjects with Imposts or to seek any unlawfull means to forfeit their goods to supply their necessities most Kings and Princes being for this reason specially sworn and taking an Oath when they come to the Crown in no wayes to sell or make away the Revenues or Lands of the Crown and more particularly the Kings of France England Spain Poland Hungary The which is also observed in Popular and Aristocratical estates as in Venice the Cantons of the Swissers the Senate of Lucern even in later times and at this very day and in Athens and Rome it self in antient times where Themistocles and Cato the Censor caused all the publike Revenues to be seized on which through tract of time and sufferance of Magistrates had been sold unto or usurped by private men saying in their Orations That mortal men could never prescribe against the immortal God nor private men against the Common weal. Upon which grounds the Parliaments of France Poland and other Realms have frequently resumed the Crown Lands and Revenues soldâ— or given away to Princes of the blood Nobles and private persons such Sales and Gifts being meerly void in Law and destructive to the publike as you may read at large in Iohn Bodin his Common-wealth l. 6. cap. 2. Dr. Crakenthorps Defence of Constantine p. 169. to 172. The second Part of my Soveraign Power of Parliaments and Kingdoms p. 12. to 16. and the severall Authors there cited to this purpose All which particulars of late years discontinued and almost quite abandoned are now fit to be revived in all succeeding Parliaments 12. It is observable that our Parliaments now and then either out of hatred envy passion or compliance with some potent ambitious popular swaying Lords and Grandees have most unjustly illegally condemned executed banished fined sentenced oppressed sundry Innocent some well deserved persons without just cause trial or due conviction of any real Crimes whose Sentences thereupon have been justly questioned damned reversed in succeeding Parliaments not only out of Grace and Favour but Justice and common Equity of which you may finde sundry presidents in this Abridgement 13. That all such Parliaments and ambitious self-seekers in them who under a pretence of publike Reformation Liberty the peoples ease or welfare have by indirect surmises policies practices force and new devices most usurped upon the Lawfull Prerogatives of their Kings or the Persons Lives Offices Estates of such Nobles Great Officers and other persons of a contrary party whom they most dreaded maligned and which have imposed New Oaths or Engagements on the Members to secure perpetuate and make irrevocable their own Acts Iudgments and unrighteous proceedings have alwayes proved most abortive successeless pernicious to themselves and the activest Instruments in them the Parliaments themselves being commonly totally repealed nulled and the Grandees in them suppressed impeached condemned destroyed as Traytors and Enemies to the publike in the very next succeeding Parliaments or not long after witness the Parliaments of 15 E. 3.11 21 R. 2.38 39 H. 6. 1 H. 4. 1 E. 4. 1 R. 3. and some others here abridged 15 E. 3.

That Kings created and set up meerly by Parliaments and their own power in them without any true hereditary Title have seldom answered the Lords and Comons expectations in the preservation of their just Laws Liberties and answers to their Petitions yea themselves at last branded for Tyrants Traytors Murderers Usurpers their posterities impeached of High Treason and Disinherited of the Crown by succeeding Parliaments and King as you may here read at large in the Parliaments of King Henry 4. 1 H. 5. m. 8. 39 H. 6. 1 3 E. 4. 1 Rich. the 3d. and 1 H. 7. c. 6. From these 3. last Observations we may discern that as Parliaments are the best of all Courts Councils when duly summoned convened constituted ordered and kept within their legal Boundsâ— so they become the greatest Mischiefs Grievances to the Kingdom when like the Ocean they overflow their banks or degenerate and become through Sedition Faction malice fear or infatuation by divine Justice promoters of corrupt sinister ends or accomplishers of the private designs ambitious Interests of particular Persons under the disguise of publike Reformamation Liberty Safety Settlement according to that of Isay 19.13 14 15.

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.

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.

Prince severally do come yearly and assess Towns severally at Ten Quarters of Oats more or less at their pleasure and the same do cause to be carried away without paying for the same That such Tallages and Purveyance may be taken away The King hath and will forbid it and that no man take contrary to such prohibition saving to him the Queen his Companion and their Children their rightful takings That whereas the four great Rivers of England viz. Thames Tese Ouse and Trent were wont from Antiquity to be open and free for every Ship to pass with Merchandises and now of late daily the said Rivers are stopped and turned aside by Goors Mills Piles and Pales erected by every Lord against his own Land so as Ships cannot pass without danger That Justices may be assigned in every County to enquire of this business and to remove the oppression The King is pleased that such and so many Commissions shall be granted as reasonably shall be needful and that every man shall be heard that will complain for himself and the King That whereas a man is indicted and appealed of Felony and doth render himself at the Exigent although he be afterwards acquitted of the Fâ—lony yet his Chattels are forfeited without enquiry whether he did flie or withdraw himself Forasmuch as a man may be indicted in a forein Country being ignorant of it That therefore no man hereafter lose his Chattels but where it is found by Verdict that he withdrew himself Let the antient Law be kept until the King by advice of his Councel shall otherwise ordain That from henceforth no franchise Royal Land Fee or Advowson which belong or be annexed to the Crown be given or severed from the Crown The King will advise with his Councel that nothing shall be done in such case but to the honour of him and his Realm Whereas the Horses of the King the Queen and the Prince do wander into divers parts doing much hurt and damage to the people by taking of Hay Oats c. contrary to Ordinances already made That the King will ordain that those Horses may abide in some certain place of the County where they are and that purveyance may be made for them in convenient time of the year by the Depuâ—ies as may be agreed between them and the owners of these goods and that enquiry may be of all the ill behaviour of those takers before this time and that by Commissions the Plaintiff or parties grieved in this kind as well of wrongs heretofore done or hereafter to be done may be heard and determined The King is pleased that the Ordinances already made shall be kept and that purveyances may be made for his best profit and ease of the people Whereas it hath been ordained That all men may passe freely with their Wools and other Merchandise certain Merchants that have of the King the Custome and Subsidie for a certain sum yearly by colour of a bargain or purchase which they have made of the Kings Wools will suffer no man to passe over Wools but only thâ—ir proper Wools except they pay two Marks for a sack of Wool above the Custom and Subsidy to the great damage of the people and abâ—sement of the price of Wools whereof they desire remedy and that the Merchants may answer in this Parliament for such their out-rage done to the people Let the Merchants be called into the Parliament and Answer The poor Merchants shew That whereas Wools were taken at Dordraghe to the Kings use for which by Parliament allowance was made to the Merchants for their debts out of the Subsidy and Custom granted to the King Viz. twenty shillings for every sack carried over Sea And whereas a great part of the rich Merchants are satisfied of the Subsidie and Custom aforesaid and the poor Merchants yet behind of that which to them belongeth by reason that the rich Merchants have sued to the King that they and no other puissent a chatre les dits debts des poures merchants and to take allowance of the King and pay little to the poor Merchants but at their own will so as the rich Merchants are satisfied and the poor undone That therefore the King will pay them part of their debts or make to them assignment of part thereof and they will lose to the King the other part of their said debt or that the King will make to them such allowance as he made to the rich Merchants The King is pleased that the poor Merchants that are not satisfied shall shew to the Treasurer their Obligations and Patents whereof the Treasurer shall inform the King and he by advice will take Order that gree be made unto them assoon as he well may That whereas Edw. 1. lately granted to the people Purlieu through all the Forrest of England and granted to every man that would his Charter containing the bounds of the Forrests according to such Purlieu And afterward Edw. â— confirmed the same by his Charter which hath so continued untill of late the Kings Ministers have and do daily afforrest that which was dis-afforrested and put into regard that which was out of regard contrary to the Purlieus and the Charters of the said King also that the Ministers do summon mâ—an folk of forrain places to Indict people at their pleasure and make them travell from place to place and threaten them until they make Indictments at their appointment and desire And these Ministers purpose to afforrest Towns neer Forrests where are no wilde Beasts and do often grieve the people by the often coming of Forresters without profit to the King And whereas a Forrest is in divers Counties the Kings Ministers take folk of the one and the other County and by force make men of one County to indict men of another County of matters whereof they are ignorant of which grievances a man can have no Writ nor other remedy in the Chancery whereof they pray remedy The King is pleased That the Charter of the Forrests be kept in all points As touching Purlieus if any man will complain let him shew his grievance and thereupon he shall have a Writ in the Chancery and right shall be done him That Inquiry may be by good men why the King taketh no profit of that which he hath in Ireland Come toutz ses auncestors avoint ad de bien de la come pur maintenance sa guerre Seeing he hath more in Ireland then any of his Ancestors had and if default be found in the Ministers that such other be put in their places which will answer the King of the reasonable profit thereof The King is pleased that it shall be so Whereas many upon an Inquest of Office found for the King are put out of their Lands

year of King Henry the Sixth AT the beginning of the Parliament before the King sitting in person in the chair of Estate in the painted Chamber there being the Lords and Commons the Bishop of Winchester Chancellor of England declared that the Kings will was that all Estates should enjoy their liberties and for his Theam he took these words Gloria honor pax omni operanti bonum the which he divided into three parts viz. bonum honestum as which consisted in due obeysance of the Subjectâ— bonum delâ—ctabile as which stood in giving good Counsell and bonum utile which was by free and willing sustentation or relieving the Prince and Commonwealth By the first God was most glorified by the second the Prince best honoured by the third the Subjects saâ—ety governed according to the saying of Luke Gloria in excelsis Deo in terra pax hominibus bona voluntas Glory is given to God by due obedience of the Subjects the Prince is honoured by sound Counsell the Subjects governed in peace by relieving the Prince wherein he affirmeth that Princes ought to be obeyed though they were evil according to the saying of Peter obedite praepositis for albeit they were not good yet for that they commanded many good things to be observed they ought to be obeyed and remembreth Sicut Princeps tenetur regere regaliter sic plebs obedire The second division touching sound Counsell he allegeth Sapient 12. Salus ubi multa consilia and therein shewing how the Elephant had three properties the one for that he wanted a gall the second â—or that he was inflexible and could not bow the third for that he was of a most sound and perfect memory the which properties by application he wished to be in all Counsellers First that wanting a gall they should thereby be free from all malice rancor and envy by being inflexible that they should worship no reward nor in Judgement respect any person of a ripe memory that they by remembring perils past might prevent dangers to come The third for relieving the King he proved that the same ought to be done with all readinesse of mind considering that God by the young Prince his chosen vessel had not only governed them in safety but also given to them honourable victories and great conquests all which ought to enforce them more willingly to offer than the same should readily be taken Wherefore he willeth the Commons by their assembling to choose their Speaker and the next day to present him Receivers of petitions for England Ireland Wales and Scotland Receivers of petitions for Gascoyne and other places beyond the seas and of the Isles Tryers of petitions for England c. as above Tryers of petitions for Gascoyne c. as above On Wednesday the second of May the Commons presented before the King and Lords Sr. Tho.

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
