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.

Michael next ensuing 47 E. 3. tit 7. An Order devised by the Commons that the King should have at least ten or twelve Councellors without whom no weighty matters should pass and for smaller matters at least six or four of them whereunto the King granted provided that the Chancellor Treasurer and Keeper of the privy Seal should by their selves end all matters belonging to their Offices and that these Councellors should take no rewards That no other of the Kings Officers or Ministers do take any reward for any matter touching their offices That report of matters of Council shall be made to the King by some one or two of the Council appointed and none others That all Ordinances made by the King and his Council shall be by all the Kings Officers executed That the Ordinances forbidding any man within London or elswhere to sell Sweet Wine by retail are repealed and that every Freeman may sell such Wines in London by retail So always that the Lord Mayor have the disposing thereof the price of the same The Commons afterwards in full Parliament making protestation of their due allegiance to the King declared That if he had faithful Councellors and Officers he could not but have passed all other Princes in treasure considering that the Ransoms of the Kings of Erance and Scotland were to him paid besides the great Subsidies here And therefore they require that falshoods and crafts of certain of the Kings Council and other persons may be tryed and punished which would long maintain his wars without any charge to the Commons And namely by trying of three points First of such of the Council as convey Staple-ware and Bullion to other places then to Calice for their own private turn Secondly of such as made shifts for money for the King deceitfully Thirdly of such as of Covin between certain of the Council and them bought of sundry the Kings Subjects debts due to the King to them for the tenth or twentieth penny Richard Lyons Merchant of London was accused by the Commons of divers deceits extortions and other misdemeanors as well for the time that he repaired to certain of the Kings Council as for the time that he was Farmer of the Kings Subsidy and Customs and namely obtaining Licences to convey over great Faizons of Wooll and Staple-ware for procuring new Impositions upon Staple-ware for devising the Change of Money for making the King for one Chevizance of Twenty marks to pay Thirty pounds for buying debts of divers men due to the King for small values for

Spain whereto all men should much the more be encouraged and have good hope considering that by two Croiseris the one granted to the Duke of Lancaster against Spain the other to the Bishop of Norwich against the Anti-Pope and all his accomplâ—ces the Pope hath thereby granted to all such as went sought or dyed in the quarrell full remission of all their sins The Commons having this their charge departed towards their place in the Abbey at Westminster but before they did any thing therein they made request to have certain especiall Lords by name assigned unto them with whom they might consult the which was granted their names then appearing After this the Lords and Commons granted to the King one fifteenth and one Tenth out of the Cities and Towns to be levyed in such wise as the last grant was and no otherwise to be imployed upon the defence of the Realm as to the King by the advise of his Councell and Lords of the Realm should seem good Thomas Feedon Richard Moory and Richard Dell as principall doers in the late insurrection and namely for burning and destroying the house and Mannours of the Order of St. Iohn of Ierusalem in England are excepted out of the pardon and therefore their names were delivered into the Kings Bench that the like process might be made against them as against other Traytors Iohn Hene of London Iohn Battail and Thomas Battail with Sir Michaell Dagworth Kt. do in the Parliamemt wholly submit themselves to the order of the King and his Councel touching their long suit sustained in the Kings Bench for the mannour of Bradwell in Essex The King by assent of the Parliament for the fine of a thousand Marks having granted to the Citizens of York pardon of all Treasons Felonies c.

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.
