To the Ingenuous Readers, especi­cially those of the Long Robe, and more Noble or Generous Eng­lish Extraction.

THere are 5. grand Defects of very publike concernment, highly ten­ding if not to the dishonor, yet certainly to the great disservice, prejudice of our Kingdom, Par­liaments, great Officers of State, Nobility, Gentry, Nation, and more especially of the Professors and Profession of the municipall Laws, which I have for many years last past, not only much admired at, and exceedingly de­plored, but also used my best endeavors to get supplied, so farr as there was [...]ny probability to effect it.

The 1. is the irreparable losse of all the Par­liament [...]olls during the Reigns of our antient [...]t Kings, from William the 1. till 5 E. 2. [...] the first [Page] Roll of that kind now extant) and of many o­ther of those Rolls since, during the Reigns of Edw. 2. and 3. with the not publishing in Print those Parliamentary Rolls and Records yet extant by pub­like Order, for the benefit of Posterity, to prevent their suppression, destruction, Embe­zelling by fire, warr, casualties, t [...]e negligence, or present malice of some Iesuitical Furies, or il­lit [...]rate Animals, instigated thereunto by Hugh Peters his misintituled Pamphlet, Good work for a good Magistrate, printed 1651. p. 96. Where after his proposal of a short new Modell for the Law, he sub­joyns, This being done, I [...] IS VERY ADVISA­BLE TO BURN ALL THE OLD RECORDS, YEA EVEN THOSE IN THE TOWER, THE MONVMENTS OF TYRANNY: Which des­perate bedlam advise of his, I haveThe 2. p [...]rt of a short De [...]urrer to the lews long discontinued Remitter into England, p. 136, &c. elsewhere at large refuted, as most pernicious to the publike, and to all Corporations and Landed men.

The 2. is the great want of an Exact Collection out of the Clause, Parliament, and Statu'e Rolls, of all Statutes, Ordinances and Acts of Parlia­ment made before the use of Printing them im­mediately after the Parliaments conclusion, or during their Sessions, came in fashion: all our Statutes at large, and the Abridgments of them, (even Ferdinando Pultons of Lincolns Inne Esq. the best & most refined) having sundrySee the Exact Abridg­ment of the Records in the Tower, and my Table there, to Ti­tle Sta­tutes. Spuri­ous Impostures printed in them, under the Titles of Acts, Statutes, and Ordinances of Parliament, which in ver [...]ty are neither of them, but only particular Writs or Instuctions of the King to the Iustices and other Officers by advise of his Coun [...]l out of Parliament: Such are the St [...] ­tutes, [Page] De circumspecte agatis, said to be made in 13. E. 1. (resolved to be no Statute, but made by the Pre­lates alone. M. 19. E. 3. Fitz. Jur. 28.) The Statutes of Protections, Champerty, and Conspirators, in 33 E. 1. De conjunctim feoffatis, in 34 E. 1. Ne rector prosternat arbores in caemiterio, in 35 E. 1. The Statute for Knights, 1 E. 2. of Gavelet, 10 E. 2. with sundry others, as the very form, words, & penning of them demonstrate, being transcribed only out of the Clause or Patents not Parliament or Statute Rolls. Besides these there are some forged Acts and Statutes printed in these Sta­tute Books not extant in the Statute Rolls that remain intire: yea, there are sundry misprisions in printed Statutes, varying both in form & substance from the Statute Rolls wherein they are recorded, omitting some material words and clauses, adding and altering o­thers; most of the publishers of our Statutes taking them upon meer trust, as they found them transcribed by others, but never examining them by the Statute Rolls & Original Records, as is most apparent by their See the fi [...]st part of my short Demur­rer to the Iews long dis­continued Re­mitter into England, p. 36, 37, 49. 53, 54, &c. mistakes of the very times and dates of some Statutes, by their printing others of them without any date, as See Pul­tons Statutes at large, Lond. 1618. p. 115. Rastals kalen­dar of Sta­tutes in the end of his A­bridgment; and Tottles Magna Char [...]ta, out of which they transcribed them. made during the reign of King H. 3. Ed. the 1. or 2. BUTUNCERTAIN WHEN, ORIN WHICH OF THEIR TIMES, & by the manifold variances between their Printed Books, and the Statute Rolls, of which I have given you a particular account in my Table to the E [...]act. Abridgement of the Records in the Tower; the Compiler whereof was mistaken in this, That the Statute of 2 R. 2. c. 5. touching tellers of News (or Lyes) of Noblemen, or Counsellors, is not in the Record, nor any mention thereof; it being recorded at large in French in the Statute Roll of the first Par­liament that year, wherein it is printed, though not in the second, as I can attest upon my own view [Page] of the Statute Roll it self. Besides these Impostures, and Variances, there are many useful Acts in the Parliament and Clause Rolls totally omitted out of all our Printed Statute-Books, some whereof I have heretofore published in my Irenarches Redivivus.

The 3. is the Grand deplorable Deficiency of such an Exact Chronological History of all the Great Councils, Synods, Parliaments of England, with their several Canons, Acts, Ordinances, Proceedings, as I have formerly mentioned in the Epistle to my Plea for the Lords, my Preface to an Exact Abridge­ment of the Records in the Tower; and in a prin­ted Title three year since, by which I endeavoured to promote it; which would supply all the three precedent Defects.

The 4. is the great lack of diligent faithfull Collections and Publications of all the choicest Records, Proclamations, Writs, Letters, Char­ters, Patents, Commissions, &c. in the Tower, or elsewhere, which concern the Liberties and Pro­perties of the Subject; The just antient Duties, Customs, Revenues, Jurisdictions of the Kings and Crown of England in times of Warre and peace; the Coin, Merchandize, Manufactures, Trade, Government, Navy, Forts, Militia of En­gland and Ireland; and the Negotiations, Leagues, Treaties with forein States: or at leastwise the want of an Exact Table, Repertory to them, whereby they might be readily found out, and made u [...]e of upon all emergent occasions.

The 5. is a Compleat Register or Kalendar of all Parliamentary Writs extant in our Records, which those who have formerly written Discour­ses touching our English Parliaments, were either [Page] totally ignorant of, or not well acquainted with, or else took no care or pains at all to communicate to others, though the very foundations of all our Parliaments and their proceedings; The omis­sion or ignorance whereof hath made most of their Treatises of this subject very imperfect, un­satisfactory, and full of gross misprisions, which pass for current Truths.

It seemed very strange and monstrous to me, that none of our Kings, Parliaments, Great Offi­cers of State, Nobles, but especially none of our reverend Iudges, learned Lawye [...]s, nor any of the M [...]sters of the Rolls (to whose beneficial Office, care, diligence, it most prope [...]ly appertained) in so large a tract of time since Printing first grew common, have not hitherto put to their own helping hands, nor incouraged others by Honorary Salaries, to supply these depl [...]rable, prejudicial Defects, (especially the 3. first) which so much concern the publike Government, Justice, Ho­nor, welfare, Laws, Interest of the whole Eng­lish Nation; when as forein Kings Parliaments, Statesmen, Lawyers, Advocates (especially in France, Spain, Germany, Denmark) have been very diligent and laborious in later ages, in searching out, transcribing, publishing to posterity all the Antiquities, Records, Councils, Parliaments, Laws, Edicts, Ordinances, Histories, Transacti­ons of th [...]ir Predecessors, and encouraged their learnedest Scholars by great Offices, Honors, Sa­laries, and bountiful rewards, to collections and publications of this Nature, to their eternal ho­nor. VVhereupon I endeavoured the last long [Page] Parliament by an Epistle to the Lords to excite them to contribute their best assistance towards the speedy Publication of all our Parliamentary Rolls and Records, profering my best endeavors to promote it; but I neither then nor since recei­ved the least incouragement from them or others towards this beneficial publike undertaking, from which soon after I was both discouraged and disabled by near 3. years close Imprisonment in 3. remote Castles, under armed, strictest guards by Mr. Iohn Bradshaws and his Whitehall Associates warrant, without any accusation, hea­ring, or particular cause either then or since ex­pressed, of purpose to debarr me from publishing any thing of this Nature, or against their New Tyrannical usurpations, transcending all in former ages. After my enlargement from these 3. years expensive, as well as tedious restraints, (superad­ded to my former Imprisonments and Losses un­der the Prelates and Army-Officers,) I endeavored to revive this Heroick work, and to encourage all publike-Spirited Noblemen, Gentlemen, Lawyers to promote it; both by the publicati­on of many unknown rare Records, in the second Part of my Demurrer to the Iews long discontinued Remitter into England; and Discoveries therein of the Vsefulness and excellency of our Records in general, and of those relating to our Parliaments, Laws, Liberties, Properties in particular: Since which, by a printed Paper, I proposed a way, how, in what manner, and by what time this usefull Design might probably be effected with no loss at all, but certain gain to those who [Page] should contribute only 10 [...] a piece towards it, for a year or two at most, and should then cer­tainly receive their principal again, together with Books in the interval amounting to treble the interest; which, though some of my friends to whom I communicated these papers, highly ap­proved of, seeming forwards to contribute to­wards it, yet I found such a general lukewar [...]nness, or rather absolute coldness (in others) really to advance it, as caused me totally to desist from any further prosecution thereof; Whereupon to supply those defects in some degree as much as in me lay, I did with no little pains and cost up­on my own private account alone, (without the least assistance, contribution from any others) collect, compile, print and publish to the world, in the 3. First Parts of my Seasonable Historical Vin­dication, and Chronological Collection of the good old Fundamental Liberties, Rights, Franchises, Laws [...] all English Freemen; an Exquisite Epitome of all the Parliamentary Councils, Synods, and State-assem­blies held within our Realms upon several Occasions, extant in our Historians, from the Britons first a­rival therein, till the Coronation of King Willi­am the first Anno 1066. conteining the space of 2390. years. Which though very usefull, sea­sonable, profitable, containing sundry rarities in them; were looked upon by most men with con­tempt, like old Almanacks, Clothes or Fashions quite out of d [...]te; whence most of them lye moulding in Warehouses for want of sale. After which in pursute of these beginnings; I freely contributed my labors, to the publishing of A [...]xact Abridg­ment [Page] of the Parli [...]ment Rolls and Records in the Tower of London; from King Edward the 2. till 1 R. 3. rectifying sundry mistakes, supplying divers de­fects therein, adorning it with a necessary Pre­face, usefull Tables and Marginal Notes, without which it had been in a manner altogether use­less▪ Since which, I much enlarged and reprin­ted [...]pon my own Account alone (for want of as­sistance by others) my Plea for the Lords and House of Peers; Wherein I have communicated to the world out of Records and Histories, more Presi­dents, knowledge, touching the Judicature, Ju­risdiction and Proceedings of our Great Coun­cils and Parliaments in former ages, and more fully vindicated the just, antient Privilege and Hereditary right of the Lords and Barons of this Realm, to sit, vote, judge in all our English Parliaments, than any others have done in for­mer ages, without the least incouragement, ayde, or retribution from any of their Lordships, not­withstanding my manifold sufferings by, from, and under some of them and their ancesters here­tofore both in person and estate, without the smallest voted recompence.

These last publications, together with my Soveraign Power of Parliaments and Kingdoms, my Historical Collection of the Great Councils and Parlia­ments of England; and new published Argument of the Case of the Lord Magwire, having in some measure (though not so fully as I desire) suppli­ed the 4. first premised De [...]ects, I have endeavo­red by this present [...] Brief Regist [...], [...] and Survey of the s [...]veral [...], [Page] (the only Basis whereon Parliaments are foun­ded, by which they are supported, directed, as well as convened) and by my usefull Observations on them, more compleatly to supply the 5. de [...]ect, than any of the former, so farr as my present leisure and ability will extend, without supplies from others; wherein I have with no little pains and diligence, given you a most exact and faith­full Account of all the Writs of Summons to Parliaments, Great Councils, and most Convo­cations in England, extant in the Clause Rolls and Records of the Tower, from the 5. year of King Iohn, till the 23. of Edward the 4th, that I have hitherto met with upon my best search after them, digested into several Sections in a Chro­nological method, with usefull Observations on them; Wherein you have a compendious, yet full and satisfactory Account of all the several Forms and Varieties of writs of Summons du­ring all this tract of time issued to Archbishops, Bishops, Abbots, Priors, Masters of Religious Orders, and all Spiritual Lords; to the Prince of Wales, Forein Kings, Dukes, Earls, Marquesses, Vi­counts, Barons, Temporal Lords and Great men; to the Kings Counsil, Judges and other Assistants to the House of Lords; the Sheriffs of Counties, and particular Corporations made Counties, for electing Knights, Citizens and Burgesses to serve in Parliament, and to the Constable of Dover Castle, Warden of the Cinque-ports, and Ports themselves for electing Barons of those Ports; with the particular Rolls, membranaes, dorses, wherein every of these summons are re­corded: [Page] Together with a general Account in gross summ [...], how many Bishops, Abbots, Pri­ors, Earls, Barons, Great men, and Assistants of the Kings Counsil were summoned to every of these Parliaments and Great Councils, & 4 most usefull, acurate, short Alphabetical & Chrono­logical [...]ables, inserted into my Observations on the 3. first Sections of these Different writs: 1. Of the Names of all the Abbots, Priors, Ma­sters of Religious Orders, and other Clergymen (except Bishops) summoned to any Parliament or Great Council from 49 H. 3. till 23 E. 4. with the years, rolls, dorses in each Kings reign, wherein you shall find them summoned, and how oft any of them were summoned, and con­sequently when omitted out of the lists of sum­mons. 2ly. Of the Names of all the Dukes, Earls, Marquesses, and Princes of Wales. 3ly. Of all the Temporal Viscounts, Lords, Barons, Peers, and Great men. 4ly. Of all the Kings Counsil, Judges, Justices, and other Great Officers sum­moned as Assistants to the Lords, in every Parlia­ment and Great Council held in England from 49 H. 3. to 23 E. 4. with the particular Roll, year, dorse in every Kings reign, wherein you may find their names and summons entred, and when and how oft any of them or their posteri­ty were thus summoned. Which Tables, as they were very painfull and troublesom to me ex­actly to collect, being inforced to transcribe most of them three times over, before I could digest them into that form as here you find them, con­sisting of very many figures (which I examined near five times over, to prevent mistakes in any [Page] of them) so being thus compleated, will be the most usefull and delightfull Kalender to all An­tiquaries, Heraulds, Law [...]ers, Noblemen, Gen­tlemen and others delighting in Antiquities, or Pedegrees, ever yet communicated to the English Nation; rectifying all those mistakes in names, & supplying those manifold defects in my Table of this nature to the Exact Abridgement of the Re­cords in the Tower. If any Noblemen. Lawyers, Gentlemen, or others, would find out and know in a moment, when or how often, or in what Roll and dorse any of their Ancestors, Family, Name, were summoned to any Parliament or Great Council; or when or how often any Ab­bot or Prior (whose lands they or their Clients now enjoy) were summoned to Parliaments, or of what Order they were, these Tables, com­pared with the printed Lists before them, will presently resolve them, better than all the Ta­bles and Kalendars to the Records in the Tower, which are very defective, and if they have cause to make use of the Records upon any occasion, these Tables will punctually direct them both to the Number Roll and Dorse too wherein they are recorded, without further search: So as I may conclude them to be greatly beneficial, as well to the Keepers of those Records, as to all those who shall have future occasion to make use of them in any kind.

For the extraordinary writs of summons and others here published at large, I dare averr, that most of the Nobility, Gentry, Lawyers, and Parliament men of the English Nation▪ never [Page] so much as once saw, or heard of most of them before this publication; and those few Antiqua­ries, Lawyers, Gentlemen, who have gottena­uy transcripts and Collections of the writs of summons in the Tower, shall meet with many memorable rare writs in this Abridgement, which are totally omitted out of their Folio Volumes, col­lected to their hands by others; which I have here supplied by my own industry, and likewise digested into method: all those large Coll [...]cti­ons of writs which I have yet seen, being both de­fective, confused, fraught with a tedious repe­tition of those names of Abbots, Priors, Dukes, Earls, Lords, Barons, which I have contracted into four short Tables in an orderly method. So as I may justly stile this Register, Kalendar and Survey, a rich Cabinet, and Compendious Treasury of the chiefest, and most precious Parliamentary Iewels, Rarities, Records, ever yet presented to the world in print.

As for my Observations on, and Collections from these writs, I dare affirm without vain­glory, they are for the most part such, as were never yet known nor communicated to the world; and will be of excellent use, not only for the searching, but understanding of Records, and of the true constitution, proceedings, Privileges, Affairs, Ends of the Great Councils and Parlia­ments of England, and duties of their respective Members; wherein I have discovered, refuted many oversights and mistakes in Sir Edward Cook, and other pretended Antiquaries, who have writ­ten of our English Parliaments, and given clearer [Page] evidences of the original, beginning, use of the name Parliament in England; of the Authority, Power, use of the Kings Counsil, Iudges in Parlia­ments; of the Kings general writs of Summons to Temporal as well as Spiritual persons who held not by Barony, not making themselves, nor their Successors, nor posterities, Lords or Barons, and of sundry other materiall particulars, rela­ting to the Freedom, Fulness, Summons, Affairs & Proceedings of our Parliaments, than any hither­to have done; out of an unfeigned desire of com­municating more knowledg to the present & suc­ceeding Generations, touching our Parliaments, and their affairs, than former times have been publikely acquainted with, that thereby I might restore our Parliaments to their primitive insti­tution, use, splendor, freedom, Honor, that so the [...] may be made medicinal Restoratives, Blessing not Grievances, or Diseases to our [...] Church and State, or [...] Physicians of no value. We read of [...] a woman in the Gospel, which had a [...] issue of bloud for 12 years, and had suff [...]ed many thi [...]gs of many Physicians, and spent all that she had upon them, even all her living, and yet was nothing better, but rather worse, and could not be heated by any of them. This woman is a true Emble [...] of England, ly [...]g for so many years, or more, si [...]k of a bloudy issue under the hands of several Physicians, under the Name and Disguise of Parliaments of several Forms and Modells, who (with their armed sup­porters) have put her to infinite expences, suffe­rings, and exhausted all she hath; and yet they have neither healed nor amended her in any [Page] kinde, but left her in a [...]arr worse condition then they found her, [...]er. 30. 13. for want of healing skil, or medicins; applying nothing but new corrosives & causticks of steel, instead of astringents and incar [...]natives to her bleeding wounds: yea those very Physici­ans are now so full of man [...]fold infirmities, di­stempers, if not gross corruptions, that we may surely say unto them this Proverb, Lu. 4. 23. PHYSICIAN HEAL THY SELF, before we can possibly expect any publike healing from them either in Church or State. If these few leaves, through Gods bles­sing on them, shall becomeRev. 22. 2. like to the leaves of the tree of life, for the healing of these Physicians, & our Nations, (one prime end of their publicati­on) I shall bless God for it, and deem my cost and labour well bestowed; however this shall be my comfort;Propertius p. 134.

One chief means to make our future Parlia­ments beneficial, medicinal and restorative to our Nation, is, to restore them to their antient freedom, and secure them and their Members from all future force and violence; which may be easily effected, 1.7 E. 1. Ra­stal, Armor 1. By removing all armed Forces, and Souldiers a good distance from the places where they shall be kept, and prohibiting them under severest penalties, not to approach near unto them during their Sessions. 2ly.Cook 4. In­stit. p. 14. By defending the wearing of any offensive arms or weapons in or near the Cities where the Parlia­ments convene. 3ly. By inhibiting all tumul­tuous popular addresses to them, under colour of [Page] Petitions or otherwise, and ordering, that no Petitions or Addresses shal be tendred unto them from any County, City, Corporation, or Fraternity upon any occasion by above 12. grave selected persons at most, under pain of being que­stioned and proceeded against as tumultuous. 4ly. By declaring and enacting all Persons what­soever to be actual Traytors, and Enemies to the Nation, (as they are by4 E. 3. rot. Parl. n. 1. 21R. 2. c. 12. 31H. 6. c. 1. 3 [...]ac. c. 1, 2.

Law) and to be effectual­ly proceeded against as such; who shall offer any force, violence, assault to the Parliament, or any Member or Members thereof during their attending therein, or in going to or returning from the same, or violently interrupt their pro­ceeding [...]. And that all who shall hereafter be peccant in this kind, &21 R. 2. c. [...]. their heirs males shall be for ever hereafter disabled to sit in Parliament, or bear any Office whatsoever, Civil or military, or to purchase or re-ceive any Lands, Cha­ttels, Gift, Legacy or bequest whatsoever, or to enjoy the privileges of an English Freeman.

My chief design in this & other late publica­tions, hath been to inform the English Nation of the true Original constitution, uses, ends, Rights, Privileges, Judicarure, and Proceedings of the Great Councils and Parliaments held within our Island, from its original plantation by the Britons, till the Normans ruling in it, which I have already published in a Brief In my Sum­mary Col­lections, &c. and Breviate, Chr [...]nological manner, and from thence to the end of King Ed­ward the 4th his reign, which I have likewi [...]e in a good measure accomplished in my late inlar­ged Plea for the Lords and House of Peers; where­in [Page] I have given the Readers a large account of most of the Great Councils held under King Henry the 1. and 2. proving, there were no Knights, Citizens or Burgesses summoned to them in their reigns, as they have been of later times; which may be further evidenced by these Histo­rical Passages and Great Councils which I there omitted.

In the year of Christ 1109. in aEadmerus Hist. Novor. l. 3. p. 67, 68. Great Council of the Archbishops, Bishops, Abbots, ET PRINCIPVM totius Regni, there was this Canon made amongst others; Vt nullus Archidiaconus Presbyter, Diaconus, Canonicus uxorem ducat, vel ductam retineat, &c. Vt Presbyter quamdiu illicitam conversationem mulieris habuerit, non sit legalis, nec missam celebret, nec si celebraverit, ejus miss a audiatur: After Anselms banishment very many Priests re­teining or resuming their wives contrary to these Decrees,Eadmerus l. 4. p. 83, 84, 85. King Henry the 1. thereupon cau­sed his Ministers to indict, and prosecute many Priests for this contempt, only to extort monies from them: but their fines not amounting to so great a summ as the King expected, there was a general Sentence given against all the Priests, as well innocent as nocent, and a fine set upon eve­ry Parish Church, which the Priest thereof was to redeem; which some Priests having no mo­ney, and others refusing to pay, because it was an unjust innovation, they were thereupon contu­meliously seised upon by force, imprisoned and tortured; and when neer 200 of them in their Surplisses and Priests habits came all together to the Kings place in London barefoot, imploring [Page] him with one voice to take pity on them, Ille ad preces [...]orum nulla miseratione permotus est, vel saltem quavis eos, sicut homin [...]s omnis religionis expertes, re­sponsi honestate dignatus, suis obtutibus festine abegi praecepit: whereupon they repaired to the Queen, who only wept in pity towards them, but could not relieve them. Anselm upon the other Bi­shops Letter to him, writ an Epistle to the King touching this proceeding of his, as an innovati­on, Quod hactenus inauditum et inusitatum est in Ec­clesia Dei de ullo Rege, et de aliquo Principe. No [...] enim pertinet secundum legem Dei hujusmodi culpam vindicare [...]isi ad singulos Episcopos per suas parochias, [...]ut si & ipsi Episcopi in hoc negligentes fuerint, ad Archiepiscopum & Primatem, &c. Adding, Dico enim vobis quod valde timere debetis, quod pecunia ta­liter accepta, ut taceam quantum noceat animae, non tamen cum expendetur, adjuvabit terrena negoti [...], quantum postea perturbabit. To which the King returned this answer.

To pretermit the Parliamentary Councils un­der King [...] Richard the 1. of which I have given you some account in my Plea [...]or the Lords, p. 234. to 242. I shall proceed to those in the beginning of King Iohns reign.

In the 1. year of King Iohn Anno Dom. 1199. there was a Great Council of the Spiritual and Temporal Lords and Barons summoned to his Coronation, thus related byFlores H [...]st. pa [...]s 2. Anno 1199. p. Matthew Westmin­ster, though there be no writs of Summons there­unto extant on record; Dux Normanniae Johan­nes in vigilia Ascensionis Domini London venit, ibi CONGREGATIS ANGLIAE NOBILIBVS, ab [Page] H [...]b [...]rto Cantuariensi Archiepiscopo coronatus est, die [...] Ascensionis Domini; whichAnnalium pars posterior Ann. 119. p. 793. Roger de Hov [...]den thus relates, ‘Congregatis igitnr apud Lundo­nias in advent [...] praedicti ducis Huberto Cantu­ariensi, Johanne Dublinensi, et de Raguse Ar­chiepiscopus, Willielmo Lundoniensi, Gil­berto Roffensi, Johanne Norwicensi, Hugone Lincolnensi, Eustachio Eliensi, Godfrido Wintoniensi, Henrico Exoniensi, Sefrido Ci­cestrensi, Gau [...]rido Coventrensi, Savarico Ba­thoniensi, Hereberto Salesburiensi, Philippo Dunelmensi, Rogero de sancto Andrea in Sco­tia, Henrico de Landas Episcopis, Roberto de Leicestre, Richardo de Clare, Willielmo de Tutesburie, Hamelino de Warenne, Williel­mo de Salisbirie, Willielmo de Striguil, Wal­ranno de Warewic, Rogero Bigot, Willielmo de Arundel, Ranulfo de Cestre Comitibus, & Baronibus multis: Hubertus Cantuariensis Archiepiscopus coronoavit, et consecravit in regem Angliae prefatum Johannem ducem Normanniae, in Ecclesia sancti Petri Apostoli Westminstriae, sexto Calen [...]. Iunii, feria 5. die Ascensionis Domini; Philippo Dunelmen­si Episcopo appellante, ne coronatio illa fieret in absentia Gaufridi Eboracensis Archiepisco­pi, totius Angliae Primatis.’ H [...]st. A [...]g p. 1 [...]9. 1 [...]0. Matthew Paris thus records the manner of his Coronation more fully. ‘CONGREGATIS ita que in adventu ejus, Archiepiscopis, Episcopis, Comitibus et Baronibus atque aliis omnibus, qui ejus co­ronationi interesse debuerant, Archiepisco­pus staus in medio omnium, dixit; Audite u­niversi. [Page] Noverit discretio vestra, quod nullus praevia ratione alii succedere habet regnum, nisi ab universitate Regni unanimiter, invoca­ta Spiritus gratia electus, & secundum morum suorum eminentiam praeelectus, ad exemplum et similitudinem Saul primi Regis inuncti, quem praeposuit Dominus populo suo, non Re­gis filium, nec de Regali stirpe procreatum. Similiter post eum David Sem ei filium: hunc quia strenuum et aptum dignitati regiae, illum quia sanctum et humilem, ut sic qui cunctos in regno supereminet strenuitate, omnibus praesit et potestate et regimine. Ve­rum si quis ex stirpe Regis defuncti aliis prae­polleret, pronius et promptius in electionem ejus est consentiendum. Haec idcirco diximus pro inclyto Comite Iohanne, qui praesens est, frater illustrissimi Regis nostri Richardi jam defuncti, qui haerede caruit ab eo egrediente, qui providus et strenuus & manifeste nobilis, qnem nos, invocata Spiritus sanctigratia, ra­tione tam meritorum quam sanguinis Regii unanimiter elegimus universi. Erat autem Ar­chiepiscopus vir prosundi pectoris, et in regno singularis columna stabilicatis et sapientiae in­comparabilis. Nec ausi erant alii super his ad­huc ambigere; scientes quod sine causa hoc non sic diffiniverat. Verum Comes Iohannes et omnes hoc acceptaban [...], ipsumque Comitem in Regem eligentes et assumentes, exclamant dicentes: Vivat rex. Interrogatus autem postea Archiepiscopus Hubertus, quare haec dixisset? respondit se praesaga mente conjecturare, et [Page] quibusdam oraculis edoctum & certificatum fuisse, quod ipse Johannes Regnum & Coro­nam Angliae foret aliquando corrupturus, & in magnam confusionem precipitaturus. Et ne haberet liberas habenas hoc faciendi, ipsum electione non successione haereditaria, eligi de­bere affirmabat. Archiepiscopus autem impo­nens capiti ejus coronam, unxit eum in regem ap [...]d Westmor a [...]t [...]rium, sc. in Ecclesia princi­pis Apostolorum, Dominicae ascensionis die, sexto kalendas Junii, Philippo Dunelmensi E­piscopo appellante, sed non obtinen [...]e, ne coro­natio illa fieret in absentia G. Archiepiscopi Eboracensis. In hac coronatione Rex Iohannes triplici involutus est sacramento: Quod vide­licet sanctam Ecclesiam et ejus ordinatos dili­geret, et eam ab incursione malignantium in­demnem conservaret: et quod perversis legibus destructis, bonas substitueret, et rectam justiti­am in regno Angliae exerceret. Deinde adjura­tus est ab eodem Archiepisc opo ex parte Dei, et districte prohibitus, ne honorem hunc acci­pere praesumeret, nisi in mente habeat opere, quod juraverat, adimplere. Ad hoc ille respon­dens, promisit se per auxilium Dei, bona fide, ea quae juraverat, servaturum. In crastino au­tem, homagiis et fidelitatibus acceptis, beatum Albanum Protomartyrem Angliae, orationis gratia, devotus petivit. Et sic brevissimam in Anglia moram faciens, ea quae statuenda erant in regno, cum consilio Magnatum rite pere­git.’

In the 2. year of (d) King Iohn, Anno 1200. [Page] Hub [...]rt Archbishop of Canterbury and Chancel­lor of England, Generale celebravit Concilium Londini apud Westmona sterium, contra prohibitionem Gawfri­di silii Petri, Comitis Essex, tunc temporis summi Iusticiarij Angl [...]ae; In which many Laws and Canons were made touching Ecclesiastical persons and businesses, recorded at large inAnnal. pars post [...]rior P. 806. to 810. Roger de Hoveden. And in the same year the samePag. [...]803. Au­thor writes, the long su [...]e between William de Stu­tevil, and William de Moubray, touching the Ba­rony of Moubray, was compremised and ended by an agreement made between them CONSI­LIO REGNI, & VOLVNTATE REGIS. In which Council of the Realm, it is most proba­ble, Statuta quaedam Johannis Regis, concerning the prises of Wine, registred byIbid. p. 795, 796. Hoveden, were made. Sed hoc PRIMUM Regis STATU­TUM vix inchoatum, statim est adnihilatum, quiae Mercatores hanc Assisam sustinere non poterunt, & data est eis licentia vendendi sextertium de vino albo pro octo denariis, & vini rubri pro sex denariis, & sic repleta est terra potu, & potatoribus. The Writs of Summons for these two General Councils of the Church and Realm this year, are not found extant on record.

The Patent Roll in the 5 ofPat. 5. Johan Regis m. 1. n. 3. Seldens Title of Honor p. 707. King Iohn, makes mention of an Assise of Beer and Wine, made per Commune Consilium Baronum nostrorum, held the year before at Winchester.

‘Rex, &c. sciatis, Nos Communi Cons [...]lio Ba­ronum nostrorum constituisse, Quod albus pa­nis factus in Civitate nostra Winton. fit ponde­ris 3 c Sol. &c. Et unusquisque Pistor sigil­lum [Page] suum pani suo apponat, &c. Et volumus et firmiter praecipimus, quod haec constitutio firmiter teneatur. Facta est autem haec con­stitutio ad Pascham proximam post obitum Alienorae Reginae matris nostrae, anno regni nostri quinto, Teste G. fil. Petri Com. Essex. apud Freitemnel 15 die Aprilis.’

This Ordinance for the Assise of Bread, with the Proclamation and proceedings thereupon, is more at large recorded in Matthew Paris Hist. Angl. Anno 1262, Editione Tyguri 1589. p. 200. where you may peruse it at leasure.

In the 5th. year of his reign (as [...]ist. Ang. p. 204. Met. Paris relates) Rex Johannes in COMITES & BARO­NES occasiones praetendens, quod ipsuminter hostes re­liquerant in partibus transmarinis, unde Castella, & terras suas pro eorum defectu amiserat, caepit ab eis sep­timam partem omnium mobilium suorum (by grant, as I conceive in a Parliamentary Council) nec etiam ab hac rapina in Ecclesiis conuentualibns manus coercuit violentas. Yet I find no Writ of Sum­mons to this Council in the Rolls of this year.

In the 6 year of his reign, Mat. Pa­ris, p. 201. Ma [...]. Westm. p. 83. An. 1204. In cra­stino circumcisionis venerunt ad Colloquium apud Ox­oniam Rex & MAGNATES Angliae, ubi con­cessa sunt Regi auxilia militaria de quolibet scuto, scil­cet duae marcae & dimidia. Nec etiam Episcopi & Abbates, sive Ecclesiasticae personae, sine promiss one recesserunt.

In the 8 year of his Regality, asMat. Paris p. 204. M [...]t. Westm. p. 83. King Iohn celebrated the day of our Saviours Na [...]ivity at Oxford; So it appears he likewise held a Par­liamentary [Page] Council there, which granted him an ayd toward the recovery of his lands in France, and defence of the Realm of England, by these two Records that year.

This same year the Arch-bishops, Bishops, Ab­bots, Archdeacons, and Clergy of England by command from Pope Innocent, without the Kings Writ or consent, were called to, and resolved to hold a Council at Saint Albans, to pay Romescot in an unusual manner, and many other unaccustomed exactions, to the great pre­judice of the Kingdom, and oppression of the people; whereupon the King upon the general complaint of the universality of the Earls, Ba­rons, Knights, and other Subjects against those exactions & this Council, issued forth this memo­rable Writ and Prohibirion, in preservation of the rights of the Crown, Kingdom, People, against this Papal usurpation and innovati­on.

I shall trouble you with no more Presidents or Records of this nature, by way of Preface to this first part of my Register, Kalender and Sur­vey of Parliamentary Writs: In which I have pre­sented you onely with the several Writs of Sum­mons directed to the Spiritual and Temporal Lords, and Kings Counsil (their ordinary Assistants) in­termixed with some other Writs, and several forms of Procurations, in my Observations on them; which relate wholly, or principally to the House of Lords, Convocations, and Clergy, a­mounting to a just vendible Volume. The several forms, varieties of Writs issued to Sheriffs of Coun­ties, Wardens, or Officers of the Cinque-Ports, Dukes of Lancaster, their Lieutenants, or Chancellors, and Sheriffs of particular Cities, Towns, Boroughs [...]made Counties within [...]emselves) for electing Knights, Citizens, Burgesses, and Barons of the Ports (pecu­liar to the House of Commons) with all sorts of Writs for proroguing, continuing, adjourning [Page] Parliaments, or superseding them after summons to them upon extraordinary occasions, (relating equally to both Houses of Parliament, and their Members) together with some special Writs of Summons to the Kings, Prelates, Nobles, Barons, Great Officers, and others of the Realms, Lands of Scotland and Ireland, to appear in, at, or be­fore the Parliaments, Great Councils, Kings, or Privy Counsil in England, concerning the af­fairs, or defence of Scotland and Ireland onely: as likewise to particular Merchants, Masters of Ships, Forresters, Lawyers, learned men of both Universities, and other Persons upon spe­cial occasions, to attend the Parliament, King, Counsil; with my particular Observations on them, (which I at first intended to have publish­ed in this Piece) I shall (if God send health, life, oportunity, and incouragement by a grate­ful acceptance of these First-fruits) with all con­venient speed, communicate to the World in A Second Part. After which, I shall in two or more distinct Volumes, present unto publick view several other kinds of Writs, relating to the Parliaments, Great Councils, Convocations and Clergy of England, to all sorts of proceedings in them, Cri­minal, or Civil; the assessing, levying of the expences of Knights, Citizens, and Burgesses of Parliament: of Dismes, Quidismes, Aids, Subsidies, Customs, Imposts, granted by them; with the disposing, releasing of them; the de­fence of the Realm by Land or Sea in times of danger; the proclaming, observing of the Great Charters, Laws, and Liberties of England; and [Page] of Acts and Ordinances of Parliament newly enacted; with sundry other Rarities, which all former Writers of our English Parliaments have either totally omitted, or but briefly touched, and that very slightly; though of excellent use, and most ne­cessary to be insisted on, for the information of their Readers, and benefit of Posterity.

Not to detain you with any longer Preface, I shall now leave you to the perusal of this First Part, distinct from those Parts I intend shall follow it; if embraced with that re­spect, affection, and desire as it may justly ex­pect and hope for from the Nobility, Gentry, Lawyers, Antiquaries and Heralds of the En­glish nation. But if slighted, vilified, neglected, like old Almanacks or fashions grown quite out of use and request (though meer Novelties in their discovery & communication to the world, hither­to unacquainted with them) I shall then resolve to cast no more such precious ancientMat. 7. 6.

From my Study in Lincolns Inne, Ian. 26. 1658/1659.

A Brief Register, Kalendar, and Survey of the severall kinds of all Parliamentary Writs; with usefull Observations on them.

THat all Great Councils of State, Parlia­ments, Synods, Convocations held in Eng­land, under the British, Saxon, Danish, Norman, English Kings successively reigning therein, were summoned by their Royal Writs, precepts, and held by their Authority alone, is a Truth irrefragable, which I haveAntiquity triumphing o­ver Novelty, p. 8. to 109. The 2, & 3. Part of a Sea­sonable, Hi­storical & Le­gal Vindicati­on, &c. my Plea for the Lords, and House of Peers. A Bre­viate of the antient Great Councils and Parliaments of England. elswhere abundantly evidenced by Histories and Records, though all the Writs whereby they were summo­ned till the reign of King Iohn, be no where extant, be­ing consumed by the all-devouring jawes of time. The Writs of Summons to Parliaments and Great Councils of State, being the Corner-stones whereon they are founded, and best discovering the causes, ends for which they were summoned; instead of that Folio Register of them at large which I once intended to have published, I shall present you only with a Brief Register and Kalendar of some of the antientest and rarest of them, full of excellent variety and delight; and such Observations on and from [Page 2] them, as may best instruct the Readers, rectify the mi­stakes of some pretended Antiquartes who have written of our English Parliaments, writs of summons to them, and supply their defects, especially concerning the several forms and various kinds of Parliamentary writs, which they have rather touched than handled, being all very maimed and incompleat in this particular.

To avoid Confusion, I shall Marshall these Writs into several Squadrons, according to the quality of the per­sons to whom they were directed, and that in a Chronolo­gical Series, digesting them into distinct Sections, begin­ning with those issued out to our Archbishops, Bishops, Abbots, Priors and Spiritual Lords or Barons of the Realm.

SECTION I.
Concerning Writs of Summons to Parliaments, Great Councils, Convocations, issued out to Archbishops, Bi­shops, Abbots, Priors, and other Ecclestastical Barons of the Realm, who were Peers and Members of our Par­liaments.

1 THe first writ of Summons to Parliament of this (of any other) kind extant in History or Record, that I have seen, is in the 6. year of King Iohn, running in this Form of words.

Claus. An. 6. Johann. Rs. m. 3 [...] dorso. Mr. Seldens Titles of Ho­nor, Book 2. ch. 5. §. 20. p. 708. Mandamus vobis Rogantes quatenus omni occasione & dilatione postposita, sicut nos & honorem nostrum diligitis, sitis ad nos apud London die Dominica proxima ante Ascen­sionem Domini, nobiscum tractatur [...] de magnis & arduis ne­gotiis nostris & Communi regni utilitate. Quin super his quae à Rege Franciae per nuncios nostros & suos nobi [...] mandatae sunt, unde per Dei gratiam bonum speramus provenire, ve­strum expedit habere consilium et aliorū Magnatum terrrae [Page 3] nostrae quos ad diem illum & locum fe [...]imus convocari. Vos [...]tiam ex parte nostra & vestra Abb [...]tes & Priores Conven­tuales totius Diocaesis citari faciatis ut Concilio prae [...]icto inter­sint, sicut diligunt nos & communem regni utilitatem. T. &c.

The 2. writ of this kinde extant on Record, is that 2 in 26 H. 3.

Claus. An. 26 H. 3. m. 13. dorso; Sel­dens titles of Honor, p. 717. Henricus, &c. ven [...]rabili in Christo patri Wal [...]ero Eboracensi Archiepiscopo salutem. Mandamus vobis qua­tenus sicut nos & honorem nostrum paritèr & vestrum diligi tis, & in fide qua nobis temmini, omnibus aliis negotiis omissis, sitis ad no [...] apud London à die sancti Hillarii in XV dies, ad tractandum nobiscum, una cum cae [...]eris magnatibus nostris quos similiter fecimus convocar [...], de arduis negotiis nostris statum nostrum & totius Regni nostri specialitèr tangenti­bus & hoc nullatenus omittatis. T. me ipso, apud Windle­soram XIV die Decembris.

There are some writs directed to the Archbishops, and Bishops in 38 H. 3. which seem much like a writ of Summons of the Clergy to a Convocation, which I shall here insert.

Claus. An. 38 H. 3. m. 7. dorso. Rex, R. Cantuar. Archiep [...]scopo, totius Angliae Primati, salutem. Cum Rex Castellae nullo jure sed potentiae sua confisus, terram nostram Wasconiae cum multitudine Christianorum et Saracenorum in aestate prox. futura hostiliter sit ingressurus, prout alias vobis significavimus, quam quidem terram in tanto peri­culo constitutam contra tam potentem Principem sine communi Regni nostri Angliae auxilio defendere non va­lemus; dolentes si regnum praedictum, quod inter caete­ros mundi Principatus probitate gentium florere sole [...], propter virium impotentiam aut segnitiem propriam suis viribus destitutum succum [...]eret.

Proviso, quod aliqui viri discreti ex parte prae­dictorum certificent CONSILIUM NOSTRUM apud Westm. in quindena Pasch: prox. futur. de modo et quan­titate subsidii memorati. Salvis nobis promissionibus tunc solvendis ibidem a viris religiosis vestrae Diocaesis nobis factis in quindena sancti Hilarii prox. praeteriti. Et quia ordinariam Jurisdictionem exerceatis vacante sede in Episcopatu Lincoln, vos requirimus affectuose, quate­nus Officialibus vestris ejusdem Episcopatus scia [...]is at­tente, quod tempestive convocent coram eis Capitulum Cathedralis Lincoln. Archidiaconos, viros religiosos & Clerum ejusdem Episcopatus ad certos diem & locum. Inducentes eos modis omnibus quod in hac necessitate no­stra consimilem Nobis faciant subventionem, et quod certifi­cent CONSILIUM NOSTRUM apud Westm. in prae­dicta Quindena Pasch. per viros discretos ejusdem Epis­copatus de modo & quantitate praedicti subsidii. Salvis no­bis promissionibus a viris religiosis praedicti Episcopatus nobis factis in quindena sancti Hillaerii prox. praeteriti si­cut praedictum est. In cujus, &c. T. A. Regina nostra, & R. Com. Cornub. fratre nostro, apud Windlesor 11 die Febr.

Eodem modo mandatum est Archiepiscopo Eborum, & singulis Episcopis totius Angliae, & Officialibus Bathon. & Wellen, Episcopi, nulla facta mentione de Episcopatu Linc.

This writ is no summons either to a Parliament, Coun­cil, or Convocation of the Clergy, as it may seem to some men, but a special writ directed to the Archbishops and Bishops in their several Diocess, to summon their Chap­ters, Archdeacons, Clergy, and the religious persons in their respective Diocesse before them, and to excite them to a free, voluntary, and liberal contribution to sup­ply [Page 5] and [...]elieve the Kings necessities, for the defence of Gas [...]ig [...], against the intended invasion of the King of Castell, as the whole frame thereof demonstrates, and their several certificates of the manner and quantity of their aids, and the sums they would contribute in this necessity, required to be certified from every Bishoprick and Dioce [...]s to the Kings Council at Westminster by cer­tain discreet men; with distinct promises by religi­ous persons mentioned therein, do manifest beyond contradiction; Every Bishop, with the Clergy, and re­ligious in every distinct Diocesse, being to meet and act apart herein by themselves, and not summoned to meet all together to advise and resolve concerning this aid re­quested from them: Therefore though a writ fit to be inserted into this Register, yet I shall not enumerate it amongst the writs of summons to a Parliament, Councel, or Convocation.

The 3. Writ is that of 49 H. 3.3

Teste Rege apud Wigorn. 14. die Novembris.

The like writs (as appears by the Roll) were direct­ed to the Archbishop of York, and 11 more Bishops; to 101 Abbots and Priors, to the Master of the Knights of the Temple in England, and to the Deans of York, Exon, Wells, Sarum and Lincoln.

4 The 4. writ is that of 23 E. 1. m. 9. Dorso.De Parliamen­to tenendo. Edwar­dus, &c. Venerabili in Christo Patri R. eadem gratia Can­t [...]ar. Archiepiscopo, totius Angliae Primati salutem.

Et hoc nullo modo omittatis. Teste meipso apud Album Mo­nasterium XXIIII. die Julii. Per Breve de Privato Sigillo.

The like writs then issued to the Archbishop of York and 18. other Bishops; to the Master of the Order of Semplingham, the Master of the Knights of the Temple, the Prior of the Hospital of St. Iohns Ierusalem in England, and to 53. Abbots and Priors, whose names are recorded in the Rolls, over tedious to transcribe at large.

The same year 23. E. 1. there was another Parliament summoned by this memorable writ, the 5. I find upon Record.

5 Claus. 24 E. 1. m. 7. dors. DeParliamen­to tenendo. ‘Rex venerabili in Christo Patri R. eadem gratia Cantuar. Archiepiscopo totius Angliae Primati, salutem.

The like Writs were then issued to the Arch Bishop of York, and 13 other Bishops there named, only with this diversity, Praemunientes Decanos et Capitula Ecclesia­rum, Archidiaconos totumque Clerum suorum Dioc. facien­tesque quod iidem Decani & Archidiaconi in propriis personis suis, & dict a Caepitula per unum, idemque Cl [...]rus per duos Pro­curatores idoneos, plenam & sufficientem potestatem ab ipsis Capitu [...]is & Clero habentes, &c. as before.

The like Writs were then sent to 66 Abbots and Pri­ors there named [...]omitting the whole clause of Praemu­nientes, &c.) and to the Masters of the Knights of the Temple, and of the order of Semplingham, and to the Pri­or of the Hospital of St. Iohn Ierusalem in England.

6 The 6 writ is that of Claus. 24. E. 1. m. 7. Dorso.

[Page 9] The like writs issued. Custodi Archiepiscopatus Ebo­rum, sede vacante; Electo Menevensi, vel ejus vices geren­ti ipso agente in partibus transmarinis: et Electo Landa­vensi; and to 17. Bishops more: It being usual then, and in succeeding times, to issue out writs to Bishops elect, and so to Abbots and Priors elect, before their consecrations or installments; and to Bishops Vicars, or Vicegerents, in case of their absence in forein parts.

The like writs were then directed to 68 Abbots, but not to one Prior, except of the Hospital of Ierusalem, and to the Masters of the Knights of the Temple, and Order of Semplingham: differing only in the Praemunientes, &c. and this close of the writs, Ad tractand. ordinand. & fa­ciend. Nobiscum & cum caeteris Prelatis et Proce [...]ibus, et a­liis Incolis regni nostri, qualiter sit hujusmodi periculis et excogitatis malitiis obviand. Teste ut supra.

The like writs were directed to 6. other Bishops, 17. Abbots, 4. Priors, the Prior of the Hospital of St. Iohns of Ierusalem, and Mr. of the Templers.

The 8. writ is thus recorded in Claus. 27 Ed. 1. m. 8 18. dorso.De Parlia­mento tenen­do.

The like writs were sent to the Archbishop of York Angliae Prima [...]i; to 17 other Bishops, 34 Abbots, and 5 Priors, and all others omitted, or not entred on the Roll.

9 The 9. VVrit is this in Clause Anno 27 E. 1. m. 16. Dorso.

The like writs are issued to 16 Bishops and 26 Ab­bots, without any Priors or other Ecclesiastical per­sons.

10 The 10. is this writ, in Claus. 27 E. 1. m. 9. dorso.

The like writs then issued to 4 more Bishops, 4 Earls, and 5 Lords only, and no more, without any other Bi­shops, Abbots, Priors, or Temporal Lords mentioned in the Roll. Whence I conceive it rather a summons to a private Consultation, than a Common Council or Parlia­ment, the frame of the whole writ importing as much, and that following it at the heels.

The 11. is a writ of Summons to a Parliament, recor­ded 11 in the dorse of the same Membrana.

The 83. (in the same Clause of Roll and Membr.) is this 83 special writ of Summons issued to the Archbishop of York and others, varying from all the rest in some obser­vable clauses concerning making Proxies in their ab­sence.

Rex, &c. W. &c. Archiepiscopo Eborum &c. Cum de avisamento, &c. ut supra, to habentur; then, Per quod mandaverimus diversis Praelatis, Comitibus, Baronibus, et aliis Proce [...]ibus regni nostri, quod consideratis dictorum ne­gotiorum arduitate et periculis imminentibus, cessante excu­satione quacunque, dictis die [...]t loco personaliter intersitis No­biscum, &c.

Priors: without any writs to Sheriffs, Assistants, or Warden of the Cinque Ports. It being a Summons to a Council, not Parliament, which the next writ demonstrates.

85 The 85. writ of Summons I finde in Claus. Anno 21 E. 3. part 2. m. 9. dorso, having a most observable clause to­wards the end of it, which would be very acceptable now (as no doubt it was then) to the overlong uncessantly taxed, and almost exhausted people.

Rex, &c. Summonitio Parliamenti. I. &c. Archiepiscopo Cantuar. &c. Quia pro quibusdam arduis negotiis tam Nos et Statum Regni nostri [Page 53] Angliae, quam communem utilitatem populi ejusdem regni nostri contingentibus, Parliamentum nostrum apud Westm. in crastino S.

Consim [...]lia Brevia diriguntur to 1 [...]. Bishops, Priori H [...]spitalis Ierusalem in Anglia, Abbati Westm. There being no more Priors or Abbots named in the Roll, but these 3. summoned by special writs.

But the writs to the Bishops of Exon, Bath and Wells, Coventry and Litchfield, St Davids, Rochester, Bangor, Assaven. Landaff and Carliol. have this clause in them, in which they vary from the former: Dictis die et loco per vos vel per Procur atorem vestrum ido [...]eum intersitis Nobis­cum, &c.

The 91. are these 3. special writs of Summons to ap­pear 91 before this Council, thus recorded in this Roll▪

Eodem modo mandatum est Priori Provinciali Ordinis beatae Mariae de Monte Carmeli in Anglia, de essendo co­ram dicto Consilio, die Iovis prox. post Assumptionem beatae Mariae virginis prox. futur. sub eadem data.

These I conceive were all summoned rather as private informers, than Members of this Council; being to ap­pear Coram Nobis et Consilio nostro: not to be Members thereof.

I shall close up this Section with the last writ of this Nature under our late King Charls.

Before I proceed to my Observations on the prece­dent writs, I shall crave leave to inform and satisfie the ingenuous Readers in 2. particulars, to prevent their causelesse censures.

1. That the usual writs in some Clause Rolls to the Spi­ritual Lords were for Brevitie sake purposely omitted, and in the Consimiles literae, and eodem modo, &c. after the transcripts of the writs of Summons here inserted (especially those of King Edward the 2.) the paticular [Page 95] Numbers of the Bishops, Abbots, Priors, and Spiritual Lords then summoned to those Parliaments mentioned in the Eodem modo &c. were casually left out (though en­tred by their names in the Clause Rols) by reason of an, &c. and vacant spaces in the written Copy for their numbers; through hast forgotten to be filled up, before they were printed off; which caused some Errors and Omissions of the true number of Bishops, Abbots & Priors in the Eodem modo, &c. from p. 14. to 32. which I think necessary here to rectifie and supply, rather than in an Errata at the end of this Breviate; and that in this brief manner.

Claus. 30 E. 1. m. 12. dorso. Consim: literae diriguntur I: Karliol: Episc. 14 Bishops more, and 44 Abbati­bus.

[Page 100] These are the only Omissions, in the writs to the Bishops, Abbots, Priors and Spiritual Lords, and mi­stakes in the numbers of them in the Eodem modo, Consi­miles literae, and Consimilia Brevia, omitted casually in the premises.

The 2. thing I shall acquaint the Readers with, are the reasons inducing me to recite so many writs to the Archbishops and Prelates, running all in the self-same form; which may seem to many a meer Tautology and super [...]uity, which might have been better expunged, than inserted into this Breviat, though in truth not so. For I recited them all in this manner upon these consi­derations. 1. To inform the Readers in what Clause Rolls in the Tower all the writs of Summons are ex­tant, and in what Membranaes and dorses they may readily find them upon all occasions; A very usefull, & hitherto unpublished, yea generally unknown part of Antiquity and learning. 2ly. To inform the Readers of the exact numbers of these writs of Summons, their several dates, and the particular places, days of all Parliaments and great Councils meetings extant on Record, from 49 H. 3. to 23 E. 4. and the numbers of the Spiritual Lords and Prelates of all sorts summoned to them, not hither­to published by any. 3ly. Because the beginnings and recitals of all or most writs in these Rolls to the Tem­poral Lords, Sherifs, Council of the King, and Warden of the [...]inqueports, cited by me in the ensuing Secti­ons, referr for the most part to the writs to the Arch­bishops and Bishops, (usually entred at large in every Roll) and to their respective dates, with an, &c. ut supra, Teste ut supra, and the like, and must be compared with them by the Readers to make them compleat. 4ly. Because the stiles of some Bishops who were Patriarchs, Cardinals, Bishops elect, or elected and confirmed; and the writs to such; yea, to the Gardi­ans of Bishops Spiritualties during the vacancy of their Bishopricks, and to their Vicar Generals during their absence in forrein parts; and to the Administrators of [Page 101] Bishopricks, are for the most part recorded only in the Eodem modo, Consimiles literae, or Consimilia brevia, sub­joyned to those usual writs here abbreviated; there­fore it was absolutely necessary to repeat them, to evi­dence and clear up those hitherto unknown, uncommon particulars and rarities. All which reasons duely pondered, will, I hope, absolve me from the guilt of a­ny Tautologies, or super fluous recitals in the premised Writs, and adjuncts annexed to them.

Vsefull Annotations and Observati­ons upon the precedent Writs to the Archbishops, Bishops, Abbots, Priors, Ecclesiastical Barons, and Clergy.

FRom the precedent Writs of Summons issu­ed to the Archbishops, Bishops, Abbots, Priors. Ecclesiastical Barons, and Clergy, wherewith I have presented you in a Chro­nological Series according to their Antiqui­ties, I shall here, for the information of such Lawyers, Gentlemen, and other Readers unversed in Records of this nature, recommend these ensuing parti­cular Observations to them, before I proceed to the Writs of Summons to the Temporal Lords; reserving my General Annotations and Observations concerning Parliamentary writs for the Close of the first Part of this Brief Register, Kalendar and Survey; when they have taken a full view of all the several kindes and varieties of Parliamentary writs of Summons, whereon they must be grounded.

[Page 102] 1. That as the Spiritual Lords and Barons, are men­tioned in allSee Spel­mann [...] Conci­lia, Ingulphi Historia, The Prologues to the printed Statutes of H. 3. Ed. 1, 2, 3, 4. R. 2. H. 4. 5, 6, 7, 8. Great Councils, Parliaments, Prologues, and Acts of Parliament before the Temporal Lords and Barons: So generally for the most part, the writs of Summons directed to them are first entred, recorded in the Dorse of the Clause Rolls, before the writs to the Temporal Lords, though now and then the writs to the Prince of Wales, and some other Temporal Peers, are first enrolled, but yet very rarely.

2. That when there was an Archbishop of Canter­bury in being, the first writ of Summons to, or Proroga­tion of Parliaments entred in the Rolls, is generally that which issued unto him, as Primate of all England; if within the Realm, or to his [...] ab­sence out of it; But when there was no Archbishop of Canterbury living; the first writ [...] in the Ro [...]s issued to the Archbishop of [...] ▪ as Primate of England: yetHere, p. 28, 29 36. now and then the first writ of Sum­mons entred, is directed to the Archbishop of York, when both are living; and the writ to the Gardian of the Spiritualties of Canterbury [...] of that See is some [...]imes first entred before the writ to the Archbishop of York: Yea, if the Archbishop of York was a Cardinal▪ and Canterbury none ye [...] of Summons, as appears by Cl [...]s 25 H. 6. m. 16. & 24 dorso, and 29 H. 6. m. [...] [...]orso, and other Rolls.

3. That when both Sees of Canterbury and York were void, the first writ entred was directed to theHere, p. 55. Bi­shop of London (as in 22 E. 3. where the Archbishop of Canterbury was elected and confirmed, but not in­stalled, and York quite void) and sometimes to some other Bishop, without any certain method therein ob­served.

4. That in Claus. Here, p. 3. 6 Iohannis (the first writ of Sum­mons extant) there is only one single writ of Summons without the Bishops name to whom it was issued, and in Claus. 26 H. 3. only one single writ of Summons to [Page 103] the Archbishop of York, without mention of any writs to other Bishops, which yet no doubt had writs of Sum­mons as well as he, though not entred, as some clauses in the bodies of both these writs do intimate.

5. That in the Summons of 49 H. Here, p. 5, 6. 3. the first, and only writ registred is directed to the Bishop of Dur­ham, and 18 Abbots and Priors are listed in the Eodem modo mandatum est, before the Archbishop of York and other Bishops.

6. That the writs directed to the Archbishops of Canterbury always stiled them▪ Venerabili in Christo Patri eadem gratia Cantuariae Archiepiscopo, totius Angliae Primati: That the writs issued to the Archbishops of York ever use this stile; Venerabili in Christo Patri ea­dem gratia Eborum, Archiepiscopo, Angliae Primati, lea­ving out totius: And the writs sent to all other Bishops run thus, Venerabili in Christo Patri eadem gratia Epis­copo, &c. (But i [...] any Archbishop or Bishop were made a Cardinal, then the stile was, Cardinali et Archiepisco­po Eborum, et Cardinali et Episcopo Wynton: as in Claus. 25 H. 6. m. 16, 24 dorso. 29 H. 6. m. 21. dorso, and other Clause Rolls of Hen. 6. when York and Winchester were both Cardinals; and Winchester is still placed whiles a Cardinal next after York. The writs to Abbots, Priors, Gardians of Spiritualties of Bishops, and other Ecclesiastical persons, usually run in this form, Dilecto sibi in Christo Abbati Sancti Augustini, &c, or Priori de Lewes, &c. which I have here omitted in their writs for the most part, with an, &c. to avoid frequent Re­petitions, and p [...]olixity.

7. That in the Eodem modo, and Kalendar of the Bi­shops names to whom writs were directed, the Arch­bishop of York is for the most part first named, yet som­times he and his Suffragans are listed after all the Bi­shops of the Province of Canterbury, sometimes before them, sometimes intermixed with them. In the en­tring of the Bishops names, there is no certain order or method observed; for sometimes the Bishop of Dur­ham [Page 104] is first named, other times the Bishop of London, elewhere the Bishop of Winchester: sometimes the Bi­shop of Rochester, otherwhiles Chichester: Now and then all the Welsh Bishops are named together after all the rest of the Province of Canterbury, yet in some Rolls they are named promiscuously, & intermixed with the English Prelates, as the writs came first to the Regi­sters hands, and not according to the Antiquity of their Sees or consecrations, for ought I can discern by com­paring their entries; Only it is observable, that An­thony See God­wins Cata­logue of Bi­shops, p. 520, 521. Seldens Titles of Ho­nor, p. 720. Beak Bishop of Durham (a very wealthy Prelat) procuring himself to be made Patriarch of Ie­rusalem by the Pope, was summoned by the Title of A. Patriarch. Ierusalem. et Episc. Dunolm. in the Summons of 1, 2, 13 of Edward 2. Here, p. 15, 16. and entred next after the Archbishop of York in the Rolls.

8. That the Bishops for the most part are named in the Rolls, and entred by themselves before the Abbots and Priors, yet now and then (but very rarely) they are intermixed with the Abbots and Priors, as in 49 H. 3. dors. 11.

9. That all the Archbishops and Bishops were usu­ally summoned to all our Parliaments, but not to Coun­cils of State, and that in person, if in England, or alive. But when anyHere, p. 11, 19, 20, 21, 22, 27, 28, 37, 40, 41, 42, 43. 46, 51, 64, 65. &c. 95, 96, 97. Archbishop or Bishop was absent in forein parts, the King usually sent writs of Summons to their Vicars Generals: and when their Bishopricks were void by their deaths, or translations to another Bishoprick, to the Guardians of their Spiritualties, to supply their places.

10. That when any Archbishop, Bishop, or Abbot, was elected only,Here, p. 9. 16. 42, 46, 50, 55▪ 59, 71. 96, 97. before his confirmation or install­ment; the writ of Summons issued to him by the name of I. Electo Cantuanae, electo Hereford, &c. If elected and confirmed, but not installed; then Electo Cantua­riae, or Hereford▪ confirmato: By which it is evident, that Archbishops, Bishops, and Abbots only elected, or elected or confirmed, might be and were usually summo­ned [Page 105] to [...] likewise in their absence beyond the Seas; Yea, in 2 E. 2. dors. 14. There is a writ issued R. Electo Dublin Episcopo, in the Eodem modo, registred amongst the Bi­shops of England, next after the Patriarch of Ierusalem, and Bishop of Durham:

12. That the chief reason why sometimes there are more Bishops summoned to one Parliament than ano­ther, is only the vacation of their Sees by their deaths or translations: what the number of them was summo­ned to each Parliament, I have mentioned in the grosse where I find them entred in the Rolle at large, to avoid the repetition of their names, which those who please may peruse in the rolls themselves.

1 [...] That the first writs to the Archbishops of Can­terbury, York, or any other Bishop in the Clause Rolls, be they writs either of Summons to a Parliament, Council, or Convocation, or of Adjournment, or Pro­rogation, are usually entred at large: which I have abbreviated with an, &c. where the form and clauses are the same with those I transcribe at large. And the writs which follow the first issued to the rest of the Bi­shops, are but briefly entred for the most part, with an Eodem modo mandatum est subscriptis, or Consimiles Literae, or Consimilia Br [...]via diriguntur subscriptis, viz. &c. unless it be where there are different Clauses in some of the writs varying from those to the first Bishops; which Clauses (recited at large) I have here print­ed, when they occurre in the Rolls.

13. That the writs of Summons to Parliaments di­rected to the Archbishops and Bishops are of various forms, differing very often one from the other, not only in their recitals of the particular causes of summoning them; but in sundry special and unusual clauses, as I have touched in the recital of them, and shall more largely insist on in my General Obs [...]rvations in the close of this Part of my Register. That the writs of [Page 107] Summons to Councils and Convocations, issued to the Archbishops and Bishops are usually different one from another, not only in form and special [...] Clauses, but likewise from the writs of Summons to Parliaments, unless where the word Concilium is used for a Parlia­ment: There being no Praemuni [...]ntes, &c. in any writs of Summons to Councils of State, but only to Parlia­ments, and that not alwayes, but a [...] the Kings pleasure: and no general Summons of all the Archbishops, Bish­ops, Abbots, and Priors holding by Barony to all Coun­cils of State; but only of such and so many of them as the King and his Counsil thought meet, when as they were usually all summoned to Parliaments.

14. That the writs of Summons to Convocations of the Clergy, were directed only to the two Archbi­shops or their Vicars Generals, to summon all the Bi­shops, Abbots, Priors and Clergy of their respective Provinces to them, not alwayes on a certain day or place as in writs for Parliaments and Great Councils, but at such time (or place) as they deemed most convenient, without any particular writs at all issued to any other Bishops, Abbots, Priors, or Clergy men, as in Summons to Parlia­ments and Great Councils: where though they had all particular writs of Summons, yet the King oft times issued special writs to the two Archbishops, to summon all the Bishops, Abbots, Priors and Clergy, within the several Diocesses of their Provinces to appear at the Parliaments, Councils, and Convocations, to prevent all negligence, defects, or faylers in their Summon [...], and excuses for not appearing, whereby the affairs of the King and kigdom might be prejudiced.

15. That [...]he number of Abbots and Priors summo­ned to our Parliaments, was somtimes more, somtimes less, as I have briefly touched, relating their number in the grosse for brevity sake; where I find them parti­cularly mentioned in the Rolls. The names of those Abbots and Priorr who were ordinarily or extraordina­rily summoned to Parliaments and Parliamentary [Page 108] Councils, with the reasons of this incertainty in their numbers by subsequent exemptions, because they held no Lands by Barony or Knights service from the King, but only in Frankalmoigne, or by act of special grace, or through vacancy by death, or otherwise; those who please may read at large in Mr. Seldens Titles of Honor, Book 2. ch. 5. Sect. 22, 23, 25. p. 732. to 735. and more particu­larly in the ensuing Alphabetical Table of their names and Summons.

I shall here only present the Readers with 3. Kalen­dars of their names out of the Clause Rolls, as I finde them there recorded.

The 1. List is that in the Clause Roll of 49 H. 3. m. 11▪ dorso in Cedula. where the writ at large being di­rected to R. &c. Episcopo Dunolm, &c. (as it is here tran­scribed, p. 5, 6.) immediately after the writ, this Cata­logue of the Bishops, Abbots, Priors, and Deans names summoned to it follows, in this form.

Here you see 36 Priors, in [...]ermixed promiscuously with 65 Abbots, (one of them only Abbot Elect, but not installed) the Bishops and Deans in [...]erposed be­tween them, most of which Priors, and some of which Abbots, were never after summoned to any other Par­liaments, nor yet these Deans in this manner.

The 2. is that of Clause 23 E. 1. m. 4. dorso, and 24 E. 1. m. 7. dorso: where the Abbots and Priors sum­moned to those 2. Parliaments are thus registred and distinguished by their several Orders in both these rolls alike, and in no Summons else besides these: though they are again all summoned and entred almost in this [Page 110] Order in Clau [...]e 28 E. 1. dors. 17. and 3. and some Rolls in E. 2.

16. That in the writs of Summons to Abbots and Pri­ors, the writs are very seldom recited at large to any of them, unless in 27 E. 1. d. 9. and towards the latter end of the reign of King Edward the 3. where some writs to the first Abbot named in the lists of Summons, are entred at large; the rest only recited with an, &c. or not mentioned at all, but only thus, Eodem modo mandatum est, &c. or Consimiles Literae, or Consimilia Brevia diriguntur Abbatibus et Prioribus subscriptis; entred in the Roll, with a Catalogue of their names subscribed under it.

17. In antient times the first writ that is entred, for the most part issued to the Abbot of S. Augustines in Canterbury, (in which Rolls there is no certain order observed in the Abbots and Priors names and summons.) sometimes the Abbot of S. Albans, now and then the Abbot of Glastonbury; sometimes some other Abbots are first named in the List of Summons, and one name frequently praeponed, & then postponed after another, as the Register was pleased to enter them in the Rolls: But from 1 H. 4. to the end of King Ed. 4. the first writ entred is, Abbati de Burgo Sancti Petri. As for the Priors, they are for the most part registred after the Abbots; now and then but rarely, before the Abbots, and frequently intermixed with them: sometimes one Prior is placed before another in some Summons, which was named last in other Lists: few Lists agreeing in the order of their names, unlesse that of 23 E. 1. d. 4. and 24 E. 1. d. 7. which exactly accord in all things, from which that of 28 E. 1. d. 3. & 17. doth somwhat vary in the order, though not in the number of their names.

[Page 112] 18. That the absence of the Archbishops, Bishops or other Great men from, and no [...] coming to Parliaments an [...] Great Council [...] when summoned, did many times hinder the proce [...]dings in them, and caus [...] them to be prorogued or adjourned, to the publike prejudice▪ yet upon particular nec [...]ssary occ [...]sions for the kingdomes defence and [...]afety, their personal presence was dispen­sed wi [...]h, and their Summons superseded; wi [...]nesse this memorable writ to the Bishop of Durham, Claus. 6 E. 2. m. 12. dorso.

And this other observable writ of Supersedeas to the Bishops of Durham, and Karliol, with other Lords and Great men summoned to Parli [...]m [...]nt, thus recorded, in Claus. 12 R. 2. m. 42. dorso.

Of which see more in my Observations on the next Section, and here p. 51, 52.

19. That some writs to particular Bishops, varied in certain special clauses now and then from those issu­ed to other Bishops at the self same time, upon special occasions, and in theSee p. 7, 8. 51, 52. form of the Praemunientes, &c.

20. That as there are some single writs of Summons to Bishops, or Archbishops entred in the Clause Rolls now and then, without any to the Temporal Lords or Barons registred together with them; So there are some writs of Summons to and prorogations of Parliaments iss [...]ed to Temporal Lords in some Rolls, without any to Archbishops, Bishops, Abbots, Priors or Ecclesiasti­cal Lords entred with them, though no doubt they had the like writs of Summons and Prorogations, although not registred, as the bodies of the writs do manifest.

21. That the writs issued to the Archbishops, Bi­shops [Page 114] Abbots, Priors and Clergy, run usually in this form▪ Vobis mandamus quod in fide et dilectione quibus nobis tenemini, &c. not in fide et homagio. But the writs to the Earls, Barons and Temporal Lords: though they sometimes retain the self same words in fide et diloctio­ne, yet for the most part they run thus; quod in fide & homagio, or ligeantia, quibus nobis t [...]n [...]mini, &c. or in ho­magio, [...]id [...] et dilectione: or in homag [...]o et lige [...]ntia; ho­magio, or ligeantia being put in the place of dilection [...], or added to fide et dilectione quibus nobis tenemini.

22. That the writs to the Archbishops, Bishops, Ab­bots and Priors, for the most part, observe this stile; Vobiscum, ac cum caeteris Praelatis, Magnatibus et Proce­ribus, &c. in all clauses of the writ; The writs to the Earls, & Temporal Lords, Vobiscum, ac cum Praelatis et cae­teris Magnatibus et Proceribus, or caeteris Magnatibus, or Proceribus, only: cae [...]eris being ev [...]r placed before Praela­tis, in the writs to the Bishops, Abbots, but after Praelatis, and before Magnatibus or Proc [...]ribus, in all writs to the Tem [...]oral Lords, because of different Orders▪ the Pre­lates no [...] being Magnates or Proc [...]r [...]s by birth, or in their own right, but only the Temporal Lords; and they being not Praelati, or Eccl [...]s [...]astical Peers by order or function, but only the Bishops, Abbots, Priors, and other Ecclesiastical▪ Barons.

23. That the number of Archbishops, Bishops, Ab­bots, Priors and Ecclesiastical persons summoned by writs to our Parliaments, was for the most part equall to, and many times farr exceeding the number of the Temporal Lords, & Barons; as you may easily discern by computing and comparing their numbers in this, with those of the Temporal Lord in the ensuing Section. In the Parliamvnt of 49 H. 3. the number of the Prelates, Abbots, and Spiritual persons summoned by writ, was 120. the number of Temporal Lords, but 23. Anno 23 E. 1. d. 9. the number of the Spiritual Lords sum­moned was 77; of the Temporal Lords but 63. And dors. 3, 4. the Spiritual Lords summoned to another [Page 115] Parliament that year, amounts to 90. the Temporal Lords only to 50. In 24 E. 1. d. 7. the Spiritual Lords summoned, were in all 91. the Temporal but 43. yet in other Parliaments the Temporal Lords exceeded the Spiritual, as in 27 E. 1. d. 18. the Spiritual Lords were 58. the Temporal 90. but in the next Parliament 28 E. 1. m. 3. the Spiritual Lords summoned were 102. the Temporal only 89. Their differences in number in other Parliaments I shall for brevity sake omit, only in most summons under King H. 4, 5, & 6. during these Kings absence and wars in France, (when most of the Earls and Temporal Lords were in actual service in the wars) the Spiritual Lords were neer double to the Tem­poral.

24. That the first writ wherein I finde any mention of, and provision for the Defence of the Church of Eng­land, is in 6 E. 2. here, p. 20. the next is in 11 E. 3. p. 39, & 40. 12 E. 3. p. 42. & 14 E. 3. p. 46. After which in the writs of 18 E. 3. p. 50. 31 E 3. p. 60, 61, 62. 46 E. 3. p. 67. 49 E. 3. p. 69. 1 R. 2. p. 69, 70, 72. and in most succeding them, Defensionem Ecclesiae An­glicanae, Salvationem et defensionem Ecclesiae Sanctae; Et [...]oc sicut salvationem et defensionem Ecclesiae Sanctae diligi­tis, were usually inserted into the writs of Summons, as well to Parliaments as Convocations, and in writs to the Temporal Lords and Sherifs, as they were in writs to the Clergy, it being one principal end of sum­moning Parliaments and Convocations.

25. That sometimes the Archbishops, Bishops, Ab­bots, Priors wereHere, p. 20, 27, 29, 33, 35, 36, 41, 55, 56, 62, 64, 65, 71, 72, &c. authorized by the writs themselves to make Proctors, or Proxies to supply their places; other times prohibited to make any Proctors or Proxies at all, but peremptorily injoyned to appear in person, without any excuse, or Proctor to supply their absence. But the Deans, Chapters, Archdeacons, Priors and Cler­gy of every Diocess by a special clause of Praemunientes, &c. in the writs to the Archbishops and Bishops, and by second writs to the Archbishops, were summoned [Page 116] the Deans, Pri [...]rs and Archdeacons by themselves, their Chapters by one, and the Clergy of each Diocess, Quod per duos Procuratores idon [...]os p [...]enam et sufficientē potestatē ab ipsis Capitulis et Clero habentes, dictis die et loco inter­sint, ad fac [...]end. & consentiend. hiis, quae tun [...] ibidem de Com: Consilio regni nostri, divina favent [...] clementia co [...]tig [...] ­rit ordinari. Amongst others, the Bishop ofHere p. 7, 8. Bath and Wells was particularly injoyned Praemunientes Priorem et Capitulum Bathon. et Decanum et Capitulum Wellen▪ Ecclesiarum suarum, &c. quod idem Prior et D [...]canus in propriis personis suis, & dicta Capitula per unum Procura­torem idoneum, &c. una nobiscum inter sint, ad▪ &c. Here­upon the Prior of Bath when sick appeared not in per­son, but by a Proctor, and the Chapter of Bath by one or more Pr [...]ctors, specially chosen and authorized by their Letters of Procuration under their Seals; Which Let­ters of Procuration, I find entred in the antient Parch­ment Leiger Book of the Priory of Bath in sundry forms in the reign of King Edward the 1. which I shall here in­sert, for their rarity; and because they will inform us, what [...]ull and sufficient power other Priors, Deanes, Chapters, and the Clergy of each Diocess, (as also the Spiri [...]al Lords when absent, and authorized to make Proxies,) gave to their Procurators; and in what forms other Letters of Procuration were made in former times, of which I find only one printed inTi [...]les of Honor, p. 731, 73 [...]. Mr. Selden.

The first of these Procurations runs in this manner, being directed to the King himself:

Serenissimo Domino suo, Domino Edwardo, Dei gra­tia, illustri Regi Angliae, Domino Hiberniae, et Duci A­quitan [...]ae, sui devoti Thomas Prior, et Capi [...]: Bathoniensis Ecclesiae, salutem, et debitam cum orationibus assiduis reverentiam et fidelitatem. Ad tractandum▪ ordinan­dum et faciendum una Vobiscum et caerer [...]s Praelatis et Proceribus, et aliis Regni incolis, in praesenti Convo­catione Generali ap [...]d Westm. die Dominica proxima post festum S. Martini, pro diversis Regni negotiis con­venientibus, dilectum in Christo Con [...]ratrem, et Con­professum [Page 117] nostrum Fra [...]rem W. de Hampt [...]n, [...]ostrum faci­mus, ordinamus, et constituimu [...] PROCURATO­REM per praesentes, plenam et liberam po [...]estatem ei­dem in hac parte conceden [...]es. In cujus rei testimo­nium sigillum, Capituli nostri praesentibus est appensum. Datum in Capitulo nostro Bathon: die Mercurii prox. ante festum S. Martini. Anno grat. 1295. (A [...]. 23 Ed. 1.)

There is another Letter of Procuration to this W. d [...] Hampton, made by the Sub Prior and Chapter of Bath the same year in the same words with the former, ex­cept in this variation and addition; Et aliis Regni in­colis in hac instanti Convocatione generali apud Westm. die Dominica prox. ante festum Sancti Andreae Apo­li, &c. PROCURATOREM LEGITIMUM per prae­sentes: Dan [...]es eidem, &c. (as before) omnia nostro nomin [...] facienda quae Nos faceremus si in Convocatione memora [...]a praesentes esse possemus. In c [...]j [...]s, &c. ut supra. Datum in Capit. nostro Bathon: die Sanctae Celi­ciae Virginis & Martyris. Anno gr. 1295.

Anno 24 E. 1. I find this form of Procuration by the Sub-Prior and Chapter of Bath directed to the Archbi­shop of Canterbury.

Reverendae Sanctitatis Patri in Christo, Domino C. Dei patientia Cantuar: Archiepiscopo, totius Angliae Primati, sui filii humiles et devoti Frater Philippus Sub­prior. et Capitulum Bathoni [...]nsis Ecclesiae Cathedralis devotos obedientiae et reverentiae Spiritus cum salute.

In the 27. year of King Edward 1. there is this Pro­curation made in another form.

Sancto Patri ac Domino, Domino C. Dei gratia Ar­chiepiscopo Cantuar. totius Angliae Primati, Frater Thomas, Prior Ecclesiae Bathon. salutem, subjectionem, honorem et reverentiam debitam tanto Patri. Sanctae Congregationi Patrum Reverendorum Dominorum E­piscoporum, Abbatum, Priorum, caeterorumque Praela­torum ac Cleri Provinciae Cantuar. in vestra praesentia reverenda post instantem commemorationem Anima­rum London faciendae, ob debilitatem nimiam nostri cor­poris, non valen [...]es personaliter interesse; vestrae Pa­ternitati supplicamus attente, quatinus tunc ibidem hanc no [...]ram excusationem habere dignemini benignius excusatam.

There is another Procuration of the self-same date made by the Sub-Prior and Chapter of Bath, directed to the said Archbishop with the self-same Preface, to tanto Patri: and then Vestrae Sanctae Paternitati notum fa [...]mus per praesentes, quod Nos ad tractandum, providen­dum, [Page 119] ordinandum super ut [...]litatibus Ecclesiae promovendis, e [...] aliis [...]rtioulis de quibus in vestrae Paternitatis mandato plenior fit ment [...]o, et ad consentiendum hiis quae oportuna et expedientia videbuntur; dilectum nobis in Christo Fra [...]rem Rober [...]um de Clapcote nostrum Commonachum nostrum Procuratorem facimus et constituimus loco nostri, ad facien­dum omnia [...] singula quae verus et legitimus Procurator fac [...]r [...] d [...]bet et consuevit. Ratum habi [...]uri et gra [...]um, quic­quid idem Proourator, &c. (as in the next before.) Da­tum in Capitulo nostro Bathon: 4 Kal. Novembr. Anno Dom. 1299.

The same year on the first Lords day in Lent, I meet with another Procuration of this Prior in a different form from the precedent.

Universis sanctae Matris Ecclesiae [...]iliis [...]rater Thomas Prior E [...]clesiae Bathon: salutem in Domino sempiternam. Quia IN PARLIAMENTO DOMINI REGIS HA­BENDO LONDON secunda die Dominica Quad [...]a­gesimae OB NIMIAM CORPORIS NOSTRI DE­BILITATEM ADESSE PERSONALITER NON VALEMUS, dilectum Nobis in Chri [...]o Fra [...]rem Wil­lielmum de Hampton, nostrum Commonacum, NOS­TRUM PROCURATOREM FACIMUS ET CON­STITUIMUS, ad faciendum pro Nobis ibidem quae­cunque facere deberemus, secundum tenorem mandati Regis si in propria nostra persona tunc praesentes esse­mus, et consentiend [...]m sicut justum fuerit et canonicum hiis quae de Communi Consilio pro utilitate Domini Regis et Regni, favente Domino tunc ordinand. con [...]i­gerit, vel [...]tiam provideri.

Datum B [...]thon: die Dominica pri­ma Quadragesimae. Anno Dom. 1299.

There is the like Procuration of the s [...]me date made to him by the Prior and Chapter of Bath in all their names, and in the same words.

[Page 120] About the same year, the Sub Prior and Chapter of Bath made this form of Procutation, entred in their Le [...]ger Book.

26. That it appears by theHere, p. 3, 4, 78. 34, 35. 40. 54, 62, 70, 72, 73. Clauses and contents of sundry Praemised Writs, as likewise by theSee an Exact Abridg­ment, p. 18. 189.

Yet notwithstanding all the Clergy procured special Absolutions from this Po [...]e, from that Excommunica­tion they conceived they had incurred by this their Ayd granted to the King against his Constitution, though done only through force, and such fear as might hap­pen even to a constant man, as I observe by certain In­struments of Absolution, remembred by none of our Hi­storians, but registred in the Leiger Book of the Priory of Bath; out of which I have transcribed them, as not unworthy publike knowledge.

[Page 119] There is another absolution from this excommuni­cation granted almost in the like form and words by the Archbishop of Cant. to Iordanus Vicar of W [...]ston, who made a Procuration to another Clerk to request and receive it in his behalf; quia gravi corporis agritu­dine perpetua detentus ad v [...]stram venerabil [...]m praesentiam accedere non valens. By which it is evident, that every Clergyman and religious person whatsoever from the highest to the lowest, who through force or fear contri­bu [...]ed any aid to the King, against this Antimonarchical Constitution of Pope Boniface the 8. was excommunicated, interdicted for it, and forced to Peti [...]ion the Pope and his Penitentiaries, to be absolved from the same; and that only upon their Oaths and caution given to yeeld obedi­ence alwayes to the Popes and Church of Romes manda [...]es for the future, and to undergo such penance as the Pope should please to i [...]flict upon them for what was past; yet thi [...] is sti­led, a dealing mercifully with them.

By this Alphabetical exact Table it is apparent,

1. That the total Number of the Abbots at any times summoned to Parliaments and Great Councils of State by special Writs and Memorials entred in the Clause Rolls, was 122. And the total summ of Priors and Masters of Religious Orders thus summoned, 41. in all 163. besides the 5 Deans, and the Official of the Court of Canterbury and Dean of the Arches.

2. That of all this numerous multitude of Abbots, Priors, and Masters of Religious Orders thus summo­ned at several times upon particular reasons and occasi­ons, there were only 25 Abbots constantly summoned towards the latter end of King Edward the 3. his reign, and the beg [...]ning of Richard the 2d. to the end of King Edward the 4th, and the dissolution of Monasteries; to wit, the Abbots of Abingdon, St. Albans, St. Augustines Canterbury, Bardeny, de Bello, de Burgo Sancti Petri, Ciren­cester, Colecester, Croyland, St. Edmonds Bury, Evesham, Glaston, Gloucester, Hida, Hulmo, Malmesbury, St. Ma­ries of York, Rading, Ramesy, Salop, Seleby, Thorney, Wal­tham, Westminster and Winchecombe; And two Priors only, namely of Coventre, and of the Hospitall of S. Iohn of Ierusalem in England.

3. That 13. of these 122. Abbots, and 27. of these Priors, were summoned only but once; 4. of these Ab­bots and 1. of these Priors but twice; 3. of these Ab­bots and 3. Priors only thrice; 6. Abbots and 2. Pri­ors but 4. times; 17. Abbots but 5. times, others 6. 7. 8. 9. or 10. times summoned, and no more, then totally omitted out of the Summons ever after.

4ly, That some Abbots and Priors summoned to ve­ry many Parliaments, and Great Councils, were yet afterwards omitted out of the Summons, and never called by writ unto them afterwards. For instance, the Abbots of St. Augustines Bristoll were summoned to 16. of Barlinges to 25. of Cumbe to 21. the Abbots of Crox­ton [Page 142] to 22. D [...] [...]ontibus to 25. Of [...]urneyes to 23. Of Hales to 21. Of Melsa to 23. Of Mira Valle to 21. Of Osency to 39. Of Thornton to 43. the Master and Prior of the Order of Semplingham to 29. the Prior of Lews or Lewes to 61. and the Prior of Spalding to 41 Parlia­ments and Great Councils under Henry the 3. Edward 1. 2. or 3. and yet they were never summoned to any Parliaments after King Edward the 3. The Prior of St. Iames Northampton summoned once under Henry the 3d. being Summoned Ann. 12 E. 2. was (upon his Petition prosecuted by his Proctor) discharged from any future summons, and lest out of the Rolls after 14 E. 2. because Non tenet de Rege per Baroniam, nec [...] Capite; sed tantum in puram et perpetuam eleemosynam, nec praede­cessores sui unquam in Cancellaria i [...] rotulati fuerunt, nisi ad stimulationem aliquorum malignorum▪ possent alias, p [...]r casum irrotulari [...], et per consequens citari▪ as you may read at large inTitles of Honor. p. 731. to 735. Mr. Sclden. The Prior of Bridlington was summoned 9. times under Henry the 3. and Edward 2. and then in 14 Ed: 2. there was this entry made in the Roll, Nihil tenet de Rege, and no future Summons issued to him afterwards: The Abbot of Leicester was summoned to no less than 50 Parliaments and Great Councils under Henry 3. and Ed. 1, 2, 3. before 25 E. 3. yet after all these Summons there is this entry made upon his 51 summons, Ann. 25 E. 3. (Here, p. 6.) Abbas Leicestr, cancellatur, quia habet Cartam Regis quod non compellatur venira ad Parliamentum: The Grounds of which discharge are thus expressed in the Charter of his exemption from future summons gran­ted upon his Petition in Parliament.

The Abbot of Tavistock was summoned to 5 Parlia­ments and Parliamentary Councils under H. 3. Ed. 1. and Ed. 3. the last whereof was in 23 E. 3. but never after; yet King Henry the 8. in the 5. year of his reign, created Richard Banham Abbot of Tavistocke and his successors, to be one of the Spiritual and Religious Lords of the Parliament, of himself his heirs and successors; yet withall pardoned their absence at any time from Par­liament, by reason of their great distance from it, pay­ing only the fine of 5. marks for every time they should be personally absent into the Kings Exchequer, as this Patent manifests.

Sir Edward Cooke in his 4. Institutes, p. 45. affirms this Patent to be void in Law; but upon such a poor rea­son, as will made all Temporal Lords, Barons, Earles, and Dukes Patents likewise void, if they hold not by Barony; and I conceive it to be good in Law, upon consideration of the premises, that our Kings did at their pleasure, without any special Patents of Creation, summon what Abbots and Priors they thought meet to their Parliaments, and omitted, discharged them at their pleasures, as the premises plentifully manifest be­yond contradiction.

5. It is most demonstratively and experimentally evi­dent by this Table: That the Kings bare writs of sum­mons of Abbots, Priors, Masters of Religious Orders, Deans, and other Clergymen not holding by Barony, and their sitting in Parliaments and Great Councils, and debating, consulting, advising with the King and the rest of the Abbots, Priors, Bishops, Earls, Lords and Barons of the Realm in Parliament according to the tenor of the writs of Summons (issued to them all in the self-same form) did neither really or actually ennoble either them, nor their successors (for then by4 Instir. p. 1. Sir Edward Cooks own doctrine) they ought, ex debito justitiae, to have been summoned constantly during life, and their Successors after them, when they had been called by writ, actually sate in one, two, much more if in three or four Parliaments; when most of them who were summoned sate only in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8. [Page 146] Parliaments and no more; and neither they nor their Successors were ever after summoned; yea some of [...]hem after above 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60. summons to, and Sessions in Parliaments under several Kings, have been afterwards discharged, or left out of the writs of Sum­mons, as no Barons nor Peers of the Realm, because they held not by Barony of the King: Therefore their writs of Summons and Session did only make them but momentany and quasi temporary Peers, or Spiritual Lords pro hac vice only, when and whiles they were summoned to, and sate in any particular Parliament or great Co [...]ncil amongst the rest of the Prelates and Lords, not after they were dissolved, when both their tempora [...]ie. Pe [...]ge and Lordships (if their writ [...] and Session [...] made them Lords or Peer [...] pro tempore,) expired with the Parliaments: And by the self-same ground, reason, the Kings summons of any Knights, Es­quires, or other Laymen to Parliament by a general wri [...], who held not by Barony, without any special Clause creating them Barons by writs or Parents, and their actual sitting in Parliament, can neither ennoble themselves, nor make them Lords, Barons, or Peers of the Realm for life, much lesse their heirs males in fee, or for perpet [...]ity after their deceases, but onely make them quasi Peers, or Great men, or rather Assistants to, and joynt Co [...]nsellors with the Lords in Parliament pro tempore, so long as the Parliaments to which they are summoned and in which they sit continue, but no longer; as I haveIn my Plea for the Lords, Epist. to the Rea­der, & p. 147. to 161. elsewher [...] proved, and shall further demon­stratively evidence in the next Section, against Sir Ed­ward Cookes and others mistakes therein.

8. That our Kings by their Prerogative and royall Authority alone did upon all extraordinary occasions summon what Abbots, Priors, Religious and Ecclesi­astical persons they thought meet, in the self same manner, and by the self same forms of writs, as they summoned the Bishops, Abbots, Peers and other Lords [Page 147] who were actual Peers and Barons of the Realm, in greater or smaller numbers as they and their Council thought mee [...]est; who sate, consulted, advised in Parlia­ment, together with the King and the rest of the Lords: which royal Prerogative and Jurisdiction was never questioned, oppugned, complained or voted against in any antient Parliaments to my knowledge; which be­ing our Kings Parliaments, yea the Grand Councils both of the King and kingdom, (as the writs of Sum­mons and all Prologues and Acts of Parliament stile them) they might thereupon lawfully summon to them what persons they deemed most fit and able to advise, assist them, and to promote, dispatch their publike affairs, for their own and the kingdomes benefit, safety, defence, and common welfare; though no actual Peers, Lords, or Barons of the Realm by Patent, or Tenure; as will more fully appear by the two next Sections.

7. This Table doth undeniably convince the foreci­ted Memorandum (p. 34.) entred in Cl. 6 E. 3. m. 36. Istis Abbatibus et Prioribus subscriptis, non solebat scribi in aliis Parliamentis; viz. Abbati de Teukesbury, with 26 Abbots and Priors there named to be full of gross mistakes: For I find the Abbot of St. Augustines Bri­stol summoned no less than 5. times before, and 11. times after 6 E. 3. and the Abbot of Bardenay no less than 33. times sommoned before, and 80. times after it, being one of the Abbots constantly summoned till the 23 E. 4. and dissolution of Monasteries: the Abbot of Barlinges 25. times before it: the Abbot de Bello 30. times before, and 70. after it, being one of the 25 Ab­bots constantly summoned as a Baron: the Abbot of Burton upon Trent 12 times: the Prior of Bridlington 8. times, the Prior of Chester 4. times, the Abbot de Fon­tibus 26. the Abbot of Furneyes 23. times: the Abbot of Gerveux (Gervall, or Iorvall) 13. times: the Prior of Gis [...]urn thrice: the Abbot of Hayles 21 times: the Abbot of L [...]nes twice: the Abbot of St. Ositha 12. [Page 148] time [...], the Abbot of Per [...]hore 11. times the Abbot of Ryevall 14. times: the Master and Prior of the Order of Sempingham 29. times, the Abbot of Stratford 12. times, all of them before 6 E. 3. the Abbot of Tavistock. thrice before, and twice after i [...]: the Abbot of Tham [...] once, the Abbot of Teukesbury 5. times, and the Abbot of Wardon 4. times before it: Only to the Abbots of Boghland, Langedon and W [...]alley therein mentioned I finde no writs of Summons in any Rolls, unless Boghland, be meant of Bocland (as I conceive it is) who was twice summoned; and Langedon for Lavedon who was 5. times; and Whalley for Wave ley, who was 9. times summoned by writ before this Memorandum; entred by some ig­norant Clerk, who had not well examined the former Clause rol [...]s and lists of Summons.

8. That the Bishops, Abbots and Priors summoned constantly and of right to our Parliaments and Great Councils by writ, were thus summoned to them, not as they were Bishops, Abbots, or Priors, but in respect of theirModus te­nendi Parlia­mentum, Cooks 4 In­stit. c. 1.

By which demands and answers (not unsutable nor unseasonable for the consideration of our present times) it is apparent; that the Clergy ought not to be taxed by the Laity for their Ecclesiasticall Baronies and Tem­poral Lands in Parliament, but only by themselves, much less then for their Spiritualties and Benefices; and that their BARONIES held of the King, obliged them to sit and serve in Parliaments, yet did not bind them to serve the King in person in his wars; nor to foment any wars between him and his Subjects, but rather to advise him to maintain peace not wars. By Matthew Westminsters Flores Hi­stor. pars 2. p. 409. relation, That the Archbishop of Can­terbury who the year before had all his Temporalties and goods seised into the Kings hands for refusing to grant a Subsidy to the King, for fear of Pope Boniface the 8. his Constitution to the contrary; together with the rest of the Clergy being put out of the Kings protection upon this occasion, was this year restored to the Kings grace and fa­vor, atque REDDITA SIBI BARONIA SUA.

27, It is observable, that when any Archbishop di­ed, after the writ of Summons to Parliament issued to him with a Praemunientes, &c. and before the return and execution thereof; the King thereupon issued a new Writ of Summons to the Guardian of the Spiritu­alties of the Archbishoprick, with a Praemunientes to summon the Dean, Chapter, Archdeacon and Clergy of the Province, with a particular writ to the Dean and Chapter of his Church to appear at the said Parlia­ment; as is evident by these two memorable writs in Claus. 9 E. 2. m. 20. dorso.

28 That no private Prelates and Clergy men could grant a Subsidy to binde the rest of the Cler­gy for the necessary defence of the Church, King, kingdom, against invading Enemies, without the ge­neral Consent of the Archbishops, and all the Cler­gy [Page 154] summoned in Convocation within their respective Provinces; as is most apparent by this memorable writ to the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the like to the Gardian of the Spiritualties of the Archbishoprick of York, De Convoca­tione Clerifacta pro Sub­si [...]io Regri p [...]o gue [...]a fac. wherewith I shall close up this Section, and my Observations on it.

SECTION II.
Of the several writs of Summons to Parliaments and Great Councils, directed to the Tempo­ral Lords; as The King of Castel, the Prince of Wales, Dukes, Marquesses, Earls, Viscounts, Lords, Barons, and other Great men of the Lords House; whereof there are several forms and varieties; with Observations on them.

SOme pretended Antiquaries, not well versed in our Records, in their late printed Discourses of The Antiquity of the Parliaments of England, p. 22. 24. 88. 89. meeting with a Transcript of ancient writs issued to Earls, Barons and Great men holding lands of the King by Knight service, to repair to him at a certain time and place, cum equis et armis, for his de­fence against Enemies or Rebels in times of warrs, in­surrection, or danger, have injudiciously conceived these writs, to be Writs of Summons to Parliaments, or confounded them promiscuously with them; affirming; That they find these writs recorded AMONG THE PAR­LIAMENT ROLLS of 14. (or 15.) E. 3. and there­fore thought good to remember them. When as there are [Page 157] [...]o such writs extant in any Parliament Rolls in the Tower; nor any Writs of Summons to Parliaments or Great Councils, entred in our Parliament Rolls (as they ignorantly publish) but only in the Dorse of the Clause Rolls, quite different and distinct from the Rolls of our Parliaments, as the meanest Novice in Records can ascer­tain them.

Upon the like mistake some have conceited these ensuing writs of Claus. 45 & 47 H. 3. to be writs of Summons to Parliaments and Great Councils, when as the writs themselves declare the contrary, that they were only Summons, to assist the King against Enemies and Rebells, with horses and arms, and all their power; not to counsel, advise, or grant any aydes of money to him in Parliament.

Claus. 45 H. 3. m. 3. dorso. Rex Willielmo de Bello Campo de Aumel, salutem. Mandamus Vobis in fide et homagio quibus Nobis te­nemini firmiter injungentes, quod omnibus aliis praeter­missis ad Nos sitis London in craftino Apostolorum Simo­nis et Iudae absque dilatione ulteriori, CUM EQUIS ET ARMIS, ET CUM POSSE VESTRO, tam de servitio vestro Nobis d [...]bito, quam de subventione a­micorum vestrorum, pro quibusdam urgentibus [...]ego­tiis personam nostram specialiter et Statum Coronae no­strae tangentibus. Et hoc sicut de vestra fid [...]litate et di­lectione confidentiam gerimus speciale [...] [...]ullatenus omittatis. Quia SUBVENTIONEM qu [...]m Nobis et Coronae nostrae praeter servicium Nobis debitum ad praesens feceritis, in consequentiam trahi nolumus, nec vobis per hoc ullo tempore derogari. Taliter vos habe­atis in hac parte quod dicto die absque defalta ad Nos sitis, ita quod vobis exinde in perpetuo teneamus ad grates. Teste Rege apud Turrim London 18 die Octobris.

Eodem modo mandatum est Phil: Basset, and 107. Barons and great men holding by knights service, there registred by name. After which this writ ensues in the same Dorse.

Rex Abbati de Burgo Sancti Petri, salutem. Manda­mus [Page 158] vobis in fide et dilectione quibus Nobis tenemini firmiter injungentes, quod omnibus aliis praetermissis mittaris Nobis Servitium vestrum quod Nobis debetis; ita quod sitis ad Nos in crastino Sancti Martini absque defalto, pro quibusdam urgentibus negotiis personam nostram specialiter et statum regni nostri tangentibus. Et hoc sub debito fidelitatis qua Nobis [...]enemini nul­latenus omittatis. Teste ut supra.

Eodem modo mandatum est, to 36 Abbots more, whose names are there listed in the Roll: Then fol­lows this entry.

Isti subscripti vocati sunt ad crastinum Apostolorum Simonis & Iudae CUM EQUIS ET ARMIS; Tho­mas de Chauro: with 16. more there named after him.

Mandatnm est Vicecomiti Essex, quod summoneri faciat omnes illos de Honoribus de Redleg et Castro Baynard, et de Hundredo de Rochford, quod veniant ad Regem ad [...]undem diem cum servicio suo Regi debi­to.

The like writs issued to divers others in this and o­ther Membrana [...]s of this Roll of 45 H. 3. to ayde the King against the Barons then in rebellion against him, and reduce them to their obedience, as is evident by this writ to the Earl of Flanders, though not particular­ly expressed in the precedent writs.

Claus. 45. H. 3. m. 8. dorso. Rex Comiti Flandriae, salutem. Quiae Magnates nostri NOBIS ALIQUANDIU REBELLES EX­TITERINI, propter quod, nisi citius resipiscant, aliud consilium Nos opponere oportebit, dilectionem vestram requi­rimus et rogamus, quatinus taliter vobis providere velitis, quod ad Nos centum Milites et tot servientes ad arma bene munitos Nobis mi [...]tere possitis: Taliter vos habentes in hac parte, quod specialiter vobis teneamur ad gratias. Teste Rege apud Windesor. 22 die Augusti.

In 47 H. 3. there issued these ensuing writs to sundry Noblemen and others to aid the King against the Welsh­men then in rebellion against him, to suppress their Re­bellion, and reduce them to obedience.

[Page 159] Claus. 47 H. 3. m. 7. dorso. Rex, Rogeto de Bigot, Comiti Nor [...]: & Maris­callo Angliae, salutem. Mandamus vobis sub debito fide­litatis et homagii quibus Nobis tenemini [...] et sicut ea quae de n [...]bis t [...]n [...]tis, diligitis, quod in festo beati Petri ad Vincula prox. futur. sitis apud Wigorn. CUM EQVIS & AR­MIS, et cum servitio vestro Nobis debito: parati exinde Nobiscum proficisci in expeditionem nostram contra Lew­ellinum filium Griffini et complices suos REBELLES NOSTROS, et ita decenter in hac necessitate nostra ibidem v [...]niatis, ut dictorum NOSTRORUM REBELLIVM versutia adeò potenter reprimatur, quod Nobis et Vobis ce­dat ad honorem, et exinde vobis ad grates teneamur specia­les. Teste Rege apud Westm. 25. die Maii.

Eodem modo mandaium est to 133. Nobles and o­thers, whose names are there recorded.

TheSee claus. 24 H. 1. d. 2. cl. 25 E. 1. d. 3. 7, 8, 14. Schedula. cl. 28 E. 1. d. 11. 15. claus. 29 E. 3. d. 11, 12, 13, 16. claus. 8 R. 2. d. 3. like writs of Summons against the Scots, Welsh, French and other Enemies and Rebels, frequently oc­curre in the Clause Rolls of King Iohn, Henry 3. and Ed­ward 1, 2, 3. Rich. 2. and other Kings: which have no Analogy with writs of Summons to Parliaments or Great Councils, wherewith some Ignorant Antiquaries would conjoyn them as Homogeneal; which I thought [...]it to premise, to avoid all mistakes of this kinde.

It is evident by this Clause in the writs i [...]ued to the Bishops, Claus. An. 6. Iohannis Regis m. 3. dorso. ( [...]ore­cited, p. 2, 3.) vestrum expedit habere consilium et ALIORUM MAGNATUM terrae nostrae QUOS AD DIEM ILLVM ET LOCUM FECIMVS CONVOCARI: that King Iohn issued forth writs of Summons to the Temporal as well as Spiritual Lords, to summon them to the Parliamentary Council then held at London, though neither the form of the writs by which they were then summoned, nor any list of their names be entred in that or any other Roll now extant. And by this Clause in the writ of Summons to the Archbi­shop of York Claus. 26 H. 3. m. 13. dorso: ad tractandum Nobiscum una cum CAETERIS MAGNATIBUS NOSTRIS QUOS SIMILITER FECIMUS CON­VOCARI; [Page 185] it is most apparent, that the Temporal Lords and great men were likewise called to the Par­liamentary Great Council then assembled at London by writ, though there be no entry of those writs, nor ca­talogue of their names in that or any other Rolls to be found, but only the single writ to one Archbishop.

All the antientest writs of Summons of our Tempo­ral Lords to Great Councils being utterly lost through negligence, or perished through the rust or consumpti­on of time, the very first writ of Summons to them, and Kalendar of their names now remaining, is that of 49 H. 3. dors. 11. Cedula already recited at large, p. 5, 6. one and the self-same form of writ verbatim, being then directed both to the Temporal and Spiritual Lords, though they usually differed in after times in some spe­cial clauses. After the Eodem modo mandatum est; and Catalogue of the Bishops, [...]bbots, Priors, Deans, and Ec­clesiastical persons names then summoned to that Par­liamentary Council by the self-same writs, there followed this list of the Temporal Lords and Barons.

Item in forma praedicta mandatum est COMITIBUS et aliis subscriptis: dat: de Wodestok. Comiti Leicestr. Comiti Gloucestr. Com. Norff: & Mariscallo Angliae, Comiti Oxon. Comiti D [...]rby, Radulpho Cameys, Rogero de Sancto Iohanne, Hugoni le Despencer Justic. Angliae, Iohanni Filio Iohannis, Willo. de Munchensey, Nicho. de Se­grave, Iohi, de Vescy, Rado: Basset de Drayton, Henr. de Hasting. Galfrido de Lucy, Roberto de Ros. Iohanni de Ey­vil, Ade de Novo-Mercato, Waltero de Colevyll, Willielmo Maryun, Rogero Bertram, Rado. Basset de Sapcote, Gil­berto de Gaunt.

This Parliamentary Council was summoned soon af­ter the great bloudy battel at Evesham (wherein the Mat. Paris, Mat. Westm. Walsingham, Holinshed, Daniel, Speed, Poly­chronicon, Grafton Ann. 1265. My Plea for the Lo [...]ds, p. 258, 259, 260. Barons who opposed K. Henry were totally routed, Simon de Montford their General, and many others of of them slain in the field, and the rest scattered) to set­tle the peace and tranquillity of the Realm as the writ informs us; the most of the Barons and Great men up­on [Page 161] on this occasion being omitted out of the Summons, though many more Abbots, Priors, and Clergymen were summoned to it, than to any other succeeding Parliament whatsoever, to supply the places of the Ba­rons then in actual rebellion, and give the greater re­putation to this Assembly, as I appreh [...]nd.

The 2. writ of summons to the Earls and Temporal 2 Lords, is this of Claus. 23 E. 1. m. 9. dorso. which I shall transcribe at large: though entred with an &c. in the Roll, with reference to the Bishops writs, ut su­pra.

Rex, dilecto et fideli suo Edmundo fratri suo Com. Lanc. salutem. Quia super quibusdam arduis negotiis Nos et Regnum nostrum, ac Vos caeterosque Procetes et Magnates de eodem regno, quae sine vestra et [...]orum praesentia nolumus expediri, Parliamentum nostrum te­nere, et vobiscum super hiis colloquium habere vo­lumus et tractatum; Vobis mandamus in fide et homagio quibus Nobis tenemini firmiter injungentes, quod sitis ad Nos apud Westm. primo die mensis Au­gusti prox, futuro, vel saltem infra tercium diem subse­quentem ad ultimum, nobiscum super dictis negotiis tractaturi, et vestrum consilium impensuri. Et hoc nullo modo omittatis. Teste me ipso apud Album Mo­nasterium 24 die Iulii. Per Breve de Privato Sigillo.

Eodem modo mandatum est singillatim per Brevia Clau­sa Comitibus & Baronibus subscriptis, viz. 12 Earls, and 53 Barons, and Great men of the Temporalty; whose names, because tedious to repeat after every writ, I shall present you with in a short Table in the Observati­ons, for brevity sake.

The 3. writ is that recorded in Clause Anno 23 E. 1.3 m. 3. dorso.Summonitio Parliamenti.

Rex dilecto Consanguineo et fideli suo Edmundo Comiti Cornub. salutem. Quia super remediis contra pericula quae toto Regno nostro hiis diebus imminent providendis, Vobiscum et cum caeteris Regni nostri Pro­ceribus habere volumus Colloquium et Tractatum: [Page 162] Vobis mandamus in fide et dilectione quibus Nobis te­nemini firmiter injungentes, quod die Dominica prox. post festum Sancti Martini in hieme prox. futur. apud Westm: personaliter intersitis, ad tract [...]nd. ordinand. et faciend.

Consimiles Literae diriguntur subscriptis, viz. 8 Earls and 41 Barons and others Great men of the Lai­ty: This writ differs in the Prologue and date from that to the Archbishop, Bishops, Abbots and Priors, Claus. 23 E. 1. dors. 4. summoned to the same Parliament, (H [...]re, p. 6, 7.) as you may discern by comparing them.

The 4. writ is recorded in Clause 24 E. 1. m. 7. dorso.

4 Rex dilecto Consanguineo et fideli suo, Edmundo Comiti Cornub. salutem: Quia super remediis contra pericula, &c. (as before writ 3.) Vobis, &c. injungentes, quod in crastino Animarum prox.

Having presented you with this Breviate of all the generall writs of Summons to Parliaments and Great Councils issued to the Temporal Lords from 49 H. 3. to 23 E. 4. I shall now give you a view of some extra­ordinary special writs to some Temporal Lords and o­thers, reducible to, and proper for this Section.

I shall begin within this Memorable writ to Roger de 58 Mortymer, Claus: 9 E 2▪ m. 20 dorso De interes­sendo Parlia­mento.

Rex dilecto et fideli suo Rogero de Mortuo-Mare de Wygmore, salutem; Cum vos tempore quo Parliamen­tum nostrum usque Lincoln: in Quind [...]na Sancti Hil­larie prox [...] futur: summoneri fecimus in partibus Hiber­niae fuissetis, per quod Nos vobis non [...] simus ad in­teressendum dicto Parliamento; ac vos a dictis par [...]ibus Hiberniae usque regnum nostrum jam, ut accepimus, ac­cessistis; ideo vobis mandamus in fide et homagio qui­bus nobis tenemini firmiter injungentes, quod si ad [Page 186] dictas partes Hibe [...]niae citra▪ dictum Parliamentum non essetis regressuri, tunc eidem Parliamento nostro dictis die et loco modis omnibus personaliter intersiti [...], super negotiis Nos et statum Regni nostri rang [...]ntibus, pro quibus Parliamentum nostrum mandavimus convo [...]ari, Nobiscum et cum Magnatibus et Proceribus regni nostri tractaturi, vestrumque consilium impensuri. Et hoc nullo modo omittatis. T. Rege apud Clipston 17 die Januarii.

This Roger de Mortymer (a Baron of this Realm, as is evident by former Summons to him) being absent in Ireland when the writs of Summons to this Parliament first issued, was thereupon left out of the original writs and Lists of Summons; but the King being informed that he was returned into England, thereupon sent this special writ of Summons to him bearing date the 17 of Ianuary, (full 3. moneths after the first writs of Sum­mons dated the 16 of October before) entred in another dorse apart from the other writs: His absence in Ire­land, yea and return thither, about the publike affairs after this writ issued, before this Parliament sat, in the Kings and his Counsils opinions, being a sufficient ground to excuse his absence from Parliament, and to send no writ of Summons to him into Ireland. And if English Peers absence or residence in Ireland, be a just, legal ground to exempt them from summons to a Parlia­ment held in England, much more then must Irish Peers and Lords, who are no Lords or Barons at all in Eng­land, be totally exempted from all writs of Summons to the Parliaments of England, both in respect of their re­moteness from England, of the great charge and dan­ger in crossing the Seas to repair to them, and because they are obliged neither by their tenures, nor Patents, to resort to any English Parliaments, but only to the Parliaments held in Ireland, where only they are Peers and Lords of Parliament, and because they cannot at­tend in two places at once, if a Parliament should be summoned in England and Ireland on or near the self­same [Page 187] time: Of which more hereafter in its proper place.

The next writ of this kinde I shall communicate to you, is this I meet with Claus. Ann. 35 E. 3. m. 36. dorso. De Consili [...] summonitio. 59

By which writ it is apparent, 1. That if any Lord neglect or refuse to appear upon the first writ of Sum­mons issued to him, that the King may resummon him by a second writ, as here he did these Lords. 2ly, That the not appearing in Parliament upon the first writ of Summons, through negligence, wilfulness, or without lawful excuse made for it, is a manifest contempt to the [Page 194] King; That no Peers summoned to Parliaments ought to depart whiles the Parliament con [...]inues, without the Kings special license; 4ly, That the not appearing of any Peer when summoned, or his departure from Par­liament, without the Kings special license, is to be pu­nished with such a heavy and deserved penalty as the other Lords sitting in Parliament shall limit and inflict, not the King himself without the Lords.

Usefull Annotations and Observations upon the precedent Writs to the Prince of Wales, King of Castel and Leon, Dukes, and other Temporal Lords and Barons, and the lists of their names recorded after them.

1. I Observe, and must inform the Readers, that in some few Clause Rolls, there are writs of Summons entred only to Earls, and other secular Lords, without any writs to Archbishops, Bishops, Abbots and Spiritu­al Lords, who no doubt had like writs then is [...]ued to them, though not registred in the Rolls, as the Lords writs attest.

2. That in the Rolls where in they both are registred, the writs to the Temporal Lords are now and then en­tred, before those to the Archbishops, Bishops and Spi­ritual Lords; but most usually they follow them.

3. That they are commonly entred both together on the self-same dorse▪ or membrana, & their reci [...]als, cla [...] ­ses for the most part the same in terminis; except in the Praemun [...]entes, &c. which is peculiar to the Archbishops and Bishops writs; or in the clauses, or Homagio et li­geantia quibu, Nobi [...] tenemini; which is peculiar to the Temporal Lords; and never used in the writs to the Bishops, Abbots, and E [...]clesiastical Lords; but in fide [Page 195] & [...] quibus Nobis t [...]n [...]mini, only; which is oft times inserted into the writs to the Temporal Lords, and others of the Laity, not peculiar only to the Clergy; as in homagio & lig [...]antia are to the Tempor [...]lly. The reason whereof I conceive to be gro [...]nded on that of Littleton in his Chapter of Homage, Sect. 86. If an Ab­bot or Prior, or other man of Religion (which extends to all Archbishops, Bishops, De [...]n, Parsons, Prebends and other Ecclesiastical bodies Politick) shall do homage to his Lord, he shall not say, IEO DEVEIGNE VOSTR & HOME (whence Homage hath its name and derivation, as all Temporal Lords and Laymen ought to doe, when they do their homage to the King or other Lords) be­cause he hath professed himself, PUR ESTRE TANT SOLEMENT LE HOME DE DE [...]U; But he shall [...] say, I do Homage unto you, and to you I shall be true and faithfull, and faith to you bear for the Tenements which I hold of you; In which respect, Glanvil lib. 9. c. 1, 2. Bracton [...]. 78. F. Britton cap. 68. & [...]. 3 [...] cap. 16. resolve. S [...]endum [...]st quod [...] liber [...] [...]as­culus quam famina, Clericus et Laicus, major & minor, dum tamen electi in Episcopos; POST CONSE [...]R ATIO­NEM HOMAGIUM NON FACIUNT, quicquid [...]ecerunt anie, sed TANTUM FIDELITATEM. Con­ventus a [...]t [...]m HOMAGIUM nec faciet de Iure, sicu [...] NE [...] ABBAS, NEC PRIOR, [...]o quod tenent nomine alieno, scilicet nomine Ecclesiarum: as Sir Ed. Cook like­wise observes in his 1. Institutes, f. 65. b. So that they doing no homage properly so stiled to the King, after their consecrations, nor using the words (I become your man, if we credit L [...]ttleton) in making their homage as the Temporal Lords do. Therupon (I conjecture) the writs of Summons command the Temporal Lords and Laity to appear, &c. in fide [...]t homagio, et in [...]ide et lige­antia quibus Nobis tenemini; but the Prelates, Spiritual Lords, and other Clergy, only in fide et dilectione, they being bound to swear fealty and Allegiance to our Kings for the Freehold Lands and Tempora [...]ties they held of [Page 196] him [...]xcept only those that hold in Frankalm [...]igne, as 29 E. 3. f. 38. a. Littleton Sect. 91, 92, 93. Sir Edw. Cook in hi [...] 1. Insti [...]utes on these Sections, and other Law-books resolve. For this I shall produce one me­morable Record; a [...]uring us, that all the Archbishops, Bishops, Abbo [...]s, Priors and Clergy both in England and Ireland, did, and of right ought to swear fealty to the King, as well as the Temporal Lords and Commons, and prescribing Commissioners in Ireland to receive it from them;Pa [...]. 1 E. 1. m. 20. ‘Venerabiii in Christo Patri e [...]dem gratia Midden.

Sir Edward Cook and others affirm, was first invent­ed, and generally prescribed to all persons above 12 years of age, by our famous British King Arthur; who by vertue thereof, ex pulit SARACENOS et Inimices [...]egno. But this certainly is a meer fable, and gross mis­take; (which I admire Mr. Lambard. and Sir Edward Cook observed not;) for the Saxacens never invaded Eng­land in any age, neither were they expelled the Realm by King Arthur; but the Saxons, who had then and formerly possessed themselves of a great part of Britain, were vanquished and expelled by him in the years of grace 518, 520, 522, as Matt. Westminster, Hist. l. 9, 10. Geoffry Man­mouth, Tho. Walsingham, andGrafton, Holinshed, & others in his Life. other of our Histori­ans relate; yet not by vertue of this Oath, (which no Historian mention [...]) but of his arms and [...]; this Oath (as I conc [...]ive) being rath [...]r [...]invented by our Saxon Kings, than Ki [...]g Arthur; and first prescribed by this Law of King Edmund son of Adelstan (made atChron.

The first who brought Homage into England for ought I can finde, was William the Conqueror, and his Normans [...], who equally imposed it, on all Bishops, Abbo [...]s and Clergymensas well as on the Laity, in the self-same words and form for ought appears. How Bish­ops & Abbots came to be exempred from doing homage for their Temporalties to our Kings after their conse­cra [...]ons I have already touched & shall here further de­clare for the informa [...]ion of those of my own profession:

Ingulphus in­forms us flourishing in that age. The Pope being much offended that Kings should thus conferre Bisho­pricks, Abbies, and other Ecclesiastical dignities Per Annulum et Baculum, and that Bishops, and Abbots should thus doe Homage and Fe [...]lty to them, and be­come their men, as well as L [...]ick [...], (as being a grand im­pediment to their Supreme Authority over Emperors, Kings and Princes of the earth, strenuo [...]sly attempted by Pope Hil [...] lebrand;) thereupon Pope Urban the 2d. An [...]s. 1095. in aMat. Paris p. 20. Council held at Claremount ordained, ‘Ut Episcopi, vel Abbates, vel aliquis de Clero ali­quam Ecclesiasticam dignitatem de manu Principum, vel quorumliber Laicorum, non recipiant.’ And this not prevailing, in another Council held by this Hoveden; Annal, pars 1. p. 467.

Anselm Archbishop of Canterbury, a Burgundian by birth, and great Creature of the Popes, [Page 202] peremptorily refused to consecrate any Bishops, who received their Investi [...]ures per annulum baculum from the King, or to have any communion with those who were thus invested and consecrated by the Archbishop of Yorke in his absence; denying to do any homage or fealty to King Henry the 1. after his revocation by him from his exile under Will. Rufus, without the Popes license; affirming, ‘Volente DEO NVLLIVS MOR­TALIS HOMOFIAM, nec per Sacramen [...]ū alicui FIDEM PROMITTAM. Hereupon Rex, Regni­que Proceres, Episcopi, et cujuscunque generis aulici praeter Regni consuetudinem ab Anselmo facti [...]atum indignè ferentes asserebant sese nunquam tam iniquo Papae decreto assensos vel assensuros, et potius tam Anselmum regno exterminaturos et ab Ecclesia Ro­mana penitus disces [...]uros, quam hanc Papae sententiam A IURE REGIO, REGNIQUE CONSUETUDI­NE PRORSUS ALIENAM, ratam haberent.’ After many publike meetings and debates between the King, Prelates, Nobles and Anselm about this business, it was agreed, that Anselm, and William Werelast the Kings Ambassadour, should goe to Rome to Pope Pas­chal the 2. and debate this business before him; where the said William appearing, and vehemently urging be­fore the Pope in the Kings behalf; ‘Dedecus ei, et videri et esse, si Antecessorum suorum jura perderet, quos ipse et animi magni [...]udine, et opum affluentia longe praerivit, &c. Adding in the close; Quod Do­minus meus nec pro amissione Regni patietur sibi Ec­clesiarum investituras auferri.’ To which the inso­lent Pope presently replied with a stern countenance. ‘Nec ego pro capitis sui redemptione eum investitu­ras permittam impune habere;’ Whereupon they decreed the cause for Anselm against the King; and in a Synod at Lateran, ratified the former Decree of Pope Urban in the Council at Rome; which this Pope by his consolatory Epistle toEadmeri Hist. Nov. l. 3. p. 63, 64.) Anselm informed him of, in­couraging him openly and boldly to appear and speak in [Page 203] this cause for the Churches divine Liberty. Anselm hereupon wrote thus to King Henry (inviting him to return into England, and to doe him that service as his predecessors had done to his Ancestors)Eadmer. l. 3. p. 76. ‘Ut au­tem sim vobiscum ita ut Antecessor meus erat cum patre vestro, facere non possum, quia NEC VOBIS HOMAGIVMFACERE, nec accipientibus de manu vestra Investituras Ecclesiarum propter praedictam (Pa­pae) Prohibitionem me audiente factam, audeo commu­nicare.’ But thoughSpelmanni Glossarium, p. 357. Ludovicus Crassus K. of France was so pusillanimous, as by his Charter, dated An. 1137. to exempt his Archbishops, Bishops and Clergy from doing any Homage or Fealty to him for their temporalties be­fore, or after their Consecrations, granting them, Quod canonicam omnino gauderent libertatem ABSQVE HOMAGII, IURAMENTI, seu fidei primum da­tae, obligatione; Yet K. Hen. the first, though he were contented at last to part with his investitures to Bisho­pricks and Abbies, yet he would upon no terms exempt any Bishops or Abbots from the homage due unto him for their temporalties, after their elections, and before their Consecrations, not from the Oath of Fealty; they alwayes doing homage to him and his Succes­sors, at least wise before their consecrations, though seldom after them, and that in the self-same form as Laymen did, (without omitting this Clause, I become your man) as appears by Glanvil, l. 9. c. 1. Bracton, l. 2. c. 35. Fleta, l. 3. c. 16. Britton, ch. 66 of Homages; and 17 E. 2. Of the manner of doing Homage and Fealty; prescribing only one and the self-same form of homage as well to the Clergy as Laity, as well as the same Oath of Fealty, which they equally performed, though Littleton (and he alone) makes a difference between their forms of Homage. Hence in the Parliament at Salisbury, Anno Dom. 1116. ‘Comites & Barones CUM CLERO TOTIUS REGNI in praesentia Re­gis Henrici 1. sibi et Willielmo filio suo HOMAGIUM FECERUNT & FIDELITATEM IURAVERUNT,’ [Page 204] as theCol. 1005.

Realm of England used in the reign of King Henry the 1. and his Ancestors, quae observari debebant in regno & ab omnibus teneri; drawen up and agreed upon Febr. 8. Anno Dom. 1164. in the famous Parliamentary Coun­cil of Clarindon, in the presence of the King, and of all the Archbishops, Bishops, Abbots, Priors, Earls, Barons and Great men of the Realm; who all juraverunt & fir­miter in verbo veritatis promiserunt viva voce, tenendas et observandas Domino Regi et HAEREDIBUS SVIS, bona fide et absque malo ingenio in perpetuum; I finde these Articles pertinent to my purpose, ‘Archiepiscopi, Episcopi, et universae personae regni, qui de Rege te­nent in capite, habeant possessiones suas de Rege sicut Baroniam, et inde respondeant Justiciariis et Mini­stris Regiis, et fequentur et faciant OMNES CON­SUETUDINES REGIAS; et sicut caeteri Barones debent interesse judiciis Curiae regis cum Baronibus quousque pervenitur ad diminutionem membrorum, vel ad mortem.

Homagi­um, and other Canonists hold it to be Symonie and un­lawfull, [Page 206] prore' spirituali, puia Beneficio Ecclesiastico HO­MAGIUM EXIGERE: But our Lawes resolve it an antient Legal duty and Service: Of which see more in Spelmanni Glossarium, Tit. Fidelitas & Homagium, in William Somners Glossarium, Tit. Homagium, and in Bracton, Britton and Fleta.

4. That this clause in the writs to the Temporal Lords in fide & homagio, implies they were all (or most) Barons by tenure. And whereas4 Instit. p. 5. Sir Ed. Cook, and 5 Glossa­rium, p. 80. Sir Henry Spelman assert, That of antient time, the temporal Lords were commanded by the Kings writ thus to appear, In fide et homagio quibus Nobis tenemini, and in the reign of Edward 3. in fide et ligeantia, and sometimes in fide et homagio, but at this day constantly, in fide et ligeantia; because at this day there are no feu­dal Baronies, in respect whereof Homage is to be done; which in 21 E. 3. was the true cause of this alteration: If this observation of theirs, That in fide et homagio, feodales propriè respiciat Barones, denoting only such Barons who were Barons by tenure, or Barony, for which they did their Homage and swore Fealty and Allegiance to the King: then this is a most convincing argument, that all the Lords and Barons summoned before 11 E. 3. were Barons only by tenure, not by writ alone, because they were all regularly summoned to appear in fide et homa­gio, not in fide et ligeantia: 2ly. It is a clear mistake, that this alteration of homagio into ligeantia, was made in 21 E▪ 3. for it was not till 25 E. 3. pars 1. dors. 5. in fide et homagio, being used both in the writs of 21, 22, 23, & 24 E. 3. 3ly. The reason of this alteration could not be this they rend [...]r, because all or most of the Lords and Barons then summoned, did not hold of the King by Barony; but were Barons only by writ, not tenure; First, because all the writs to the Prince of Wales, [...]and Earls then summoned (who held of the King by Homage and Barony) issued in this form in fide et ligeantia to them, as well as to the inferiour Lords and Barons. 2ly, Be­cause the self-same Prince, Earls, Lords summoned in [Page 207] this form in 25 E. 3. in the very next years of 26 E. 3. d. 14. and 27 E. 3. d. 12. were twice summoned again, i [...] fide, homagio et ligeantia quibus Nobis tenemini, and 28 E. 3. d. 26. in fide et homagio; after in 29 E. 3. d. 8. 7. 31 E. 3. d. 21. & 1. they are summoned in fide et ligean­tia; but yet in 32 E. 3. d. 14. 36 E. 3. d. 16. 37 E. 3. d. 22. 38 E. 3. d. 3. 39 E. 3. d. 2. 42 E. 3. d. 22. 43 E. 3. d. 24. 46 E. 3. d. 9. all the writs to the Prince, Earls, Lords and Barons, run again in fide et homagio only: and some between and after them in fide et ligeantia only, though issued to the self-same persons, or their heirs: There­fore ligeantia, in these and subsequent writs, is put only as a Synonima, signifying only Homagium; as the cou­pling them together in two writs, in fide, homagio et ligeantia, and the placing of Homagio thus interchangea­bly for ligeantia, and ligeancia for homagio, evidence be­yond contradiction: The rather, because there is the highest promise and bond of Allegiance expressed in the very words, and form of homage done to the King (as the words,Littl. §. 85. I become your man from this day forwards of life and member, and of earthly worship, and unto you shall be true and faithfull, and bear you faith, and this clause, saving the faith that I owe unto our Soveraign Lord the King, when done to a common person) import: and Glanvil l. 9. c. 1. Bracton l. 2. c. 35. Fleta l. 3. c. 16. Sir Edward Cook in his 1 Institutes on Littletons Chapter of Homage, Sir Hen. Spelman, and Somner in their Glos­saries Tit. Homagium & Fidelitas, at large demonstrate; Therefore homage may be properly stiled ligeantia, and be put in lien of homagio, as doubtless it is in all those writs that use it. 3ly. I findSee An Exact Abridg­ment of the Records in the Tower, p. 332, 370, 545, 576, 625, 626. sundry Homages for Dutchies, Earldoms and Baronies, done to our Kings by the Duke of Aquitain, the D [...]ke of Hereford, Henry Percy, the Duke of Norfolk, and other Peers, who were then and afterwards summoned in fide et ligeantia, not homagio; and I doubt Sir Edward Cooke and those of his opinion, can hardly name any Dukes, Earls, Vicounts, Lords or Barons, summoned to Parliament under Henry [Page 208] the 3. R. 2. H. 4, 5, 9. or E. 4. who was not a Lord by Tenure or Barony, as well as by Patent, or a special writ of creation, the very names of their Baronies as 4 Instit. p. 5. Sir Edward Cooke, andTitles of Honor, p. 720. Mr. Selden inform us, be­ing usually expressed in all later writs of Summon [...]: Therefore this their conjecture of altering the writs from homagio to ligeantia, because they held not by ho­mage, must needs be erronious, and groundless in my judgemen [...], and the assertions of such who hold, that the Kings bare general writs of summons, issued to those who held not by Barony, did create them and their is­sues Barons, if they sate in Parliament without any special creation by some Clauses in the writs, or by Pa­ [...]ent, grounded on this mistake, must vanish into smoke; else that Clause of creation in the writ to Sir Henry Bromfleet, Cl. 27 H. 6. d. 24. would have been both superfluous and ridiculous.

5ly. That this clause, in fide et homagio; or, in fide & ligeantia quibus Nobis tenemini, is sometimes omitted out of the writs of Summons to the Prince of Wales, and other times inserted into them.

6ly. That the Prince of Wales in the writs of Sum­mons and adjournment, is sometimes stiled Princeps Walliae only; sometimes, Princeps Aquitaniae et Walliae; other times, Princeps Walliae, Dux Cornubiae, et Comes C [...]striae; when all these titles were conferred on him by the King.

7ly▪ That in the writs issued to Dukes, Earls, and Temporal Lords of the Kings Progeny, royal bloud and alliance, they are usually stiled; Carissimo filio nostro; Fratri Regis; Fratri nostro; Avunculo Regis; Avun­culo nostro; Nepoti nostro; Consanguineo nostro, &c. and the other Earls and Temporal Lords, Dilecto et fideli nostro, only; and that those of the bloud royal are for the most part, though not alwayes, first entred in the Rolls of summons.

81y. That when a Duke or Earl of England was made a real or titular King of any forein Realm, his Royal ti­tle [Page 209] was alwayes mentioned in the writ: Thus Iohn Duke of Lancaster King of Castell and Leon, in all writs of summons to him after his forein Kingship., was sti­led, Car [...]ssimo filio suo Iohanni Regi Castellae et L [...]gionis Duci Lancastriae, in the summons of 46. 49, 50 [...]. [...] And Carissimo Avunculo suo Iohanni Regi Castell [...] & Le­gionis, Duci Lancastriae: in all the writs issued to him under King Rich [...]rd the 2d. So if any Earl or Baron of England, was created a Duke or Earl in Scotland, France, or Ireland, his forein Titles were inserted in­to the writs, as the Title of Cardinal, or Patriarch of Ie­rusalem was inserted into the English Bishops writs created Cardin [...]ls and Patriarchs beyond the Seas. Thus Gilb [...]rt de Vinf. an l an English Baron being made Earl of Anegos, and David de Stràbolgi, Earl of A­thol in Scotland, Leonell the Kings son Earl of Vlster in Ireland; the black Prince made Prince of Aquitain as well as of Wales, and Iohn Duke of Lancaster, Duke of Aquitan, under Richard the 2d. the were thereup­on stiledSee p. 2 [...] 12, 213. Comiti Anegos, Comiti Athol, Comiti Vlton, Principi Aquitani [...] & Walliae, Duci Aquitaniae & Lan­castriae, in the writs directed to them: and if these their forein Titles were omitted in any Writs against them at the Common Law, the writs would abate, be­cause they were English Peers, and had these Titles in­serted into their writs of Summons to Parliament, where they sate in their Princes, Dukes and Earls Robes, amongst the rest of the Dukes and Earls. But if any forein Duke, Earl, Lord, or Baron of France, Ireland, Spain or Germany, who was no English Ba­ron, Lord or Peer of Parliament, was sued in the Kings Court by writ, he might be stiled only a Knight or Es­quire, and needed not to be sued by the Title of Duke, Earl, Lord or Baron; because he was no Duke, Earl, Lord orSee my Argu­ment of the case of the Lord Mag­wire. Baron at all in England; but only in his own Country, and should be tried upon an Indictment of Trea­son, Murder or Felony, only by an ordinary Iury, and not by English Peers. By which differences the Books [Page 2010] of 39 E. 3. 3 [...]. Brooks Nosme de dignity, [...]9. 59. & Parl. 4. 11 E. 3. Fi [...]zh. Brief. 473. 8 R. 2. Fitzh. Proces. 224. 20 E. 4. 6.

9. That if any Earl, Baron or Lord was Marshal, Consta­ble, Steward, Admiral, Chancellor, Treasurer, or other great Officer of England, or Warden of the Cinque ports; his Title of Office was commonly inserted into the writs of Summons. As, Rogero, or Thomae Comiti Naff. & Marescallo Angliae, Avunculo suo carissimo, Thomae de Wodestoke Consta [...]ulario Augliae, Willo de Cl [...]nton co­miti Ha [...]i [...]gdon, Constabulario Castri Dover. et Custodi quinque Portuum suorum, &c. What precedency these Officers had of other Earls, Lords and Barons, in Par­liament, you may read in the Statute of 31 H. 8. c. 10. and Mr. S [...]ldens Titles of Honor. p. 901, &c.

10. That in the lists of the Dukes, Earls, Lords, and Ba­rons names there is no certain order observed accor­ding to their Antiquity or Precedency, but in some Rolls one is first entred, in other Rolls others listed before them, and they again postponed in succeeding lists: Y [...]t generally for the most part, [...]hough not always, the Prince of Wales is first entred before the rest; the Dukes before the Earls; the Earls & Vicounts before the Lords and Barons; and they before the Iudges or Kings Counsil; and the Earl who was Marshal of England, before the other Earls; the Clerks entring their names promiscuously for the most part as the Writs came to their hands. Some times the first Writs entred at large issued to one Earl, Lord, Duke, Baron, other times the Writs go to others, without observing the Laws of Heraldry, though in the reing of Edward the 3d. and afterwards, their names are more methodically entred then before that time; oft times in the selfsame order, or with some small variations and transpositions. So as the Precedency of the Earls or Barons, and their pla­ces [Page 2011] of sitting in the Parliament House cannot be cer­tainly collected from, or defined by the entry of their Writs of Summons or li [...]ting in the Eodem modo manda­tum est, or Consimiles lit [...]rae; but by custom, and the Sta­tute of 31 H. 8. cap. 10.

11ly. That in some Clause Rolls there is one Writ to the Archbishop, or some other Bishop first entred at large, and another Writ at large, to some one Earl or temporal Lord; with an Eodem modo, or Consimiles li­terae, only entred to the rest there listed: but most u­sually, there is only but one Writ entred at large to one of the Archbishops, or some other Bishops; and then a short recital of some part of that Writ to one tempo­ral Lord, with an &c. Teste ut supra, and the like, for brevity sake: and an Eodem modo, and Consimiles literae; or some short entries of some special clauses of the Writ, to all the other temporal Lords.

12ly. That in the Eodem modo, and Consimiles Lite­rae; first the Bishops, Abbots, Priors and spiritual Lords, then the Dukes, Earls, Temporal Lords, Barons, Justices, Kings Counsils names, are entred successively one af­ter another, after the first Writ, which is singly en­tred in sundry Rolls, without any Writ or part of Writ interposed between their names; as if they had all the selfsame Writs in terminis issued to them. But in most Rolls, there is either a distinct Writ, or part of Writ; or an Eodem modo mandatum est &c. mutatis mutandis; interposed between the names of the Bi­shops, Abbots, Priors, and Earls and Lay Lords; & like­wise between the Temporal Lords, and the Kings Counsil and Justices summoned to Parliaments: with the usual clauses wherin the writs differ one frō another inserted into them; which different clauses no doubt were in most of the Writs issued to them in those Rolls where they are all entred promiscuously together in the Eodem modo, and Consimiles Literae; without any Writ or part of a Writ, or m [...]tatis mutandis interposed be­tween thē, omitted only for brevity sake by the Clerks; [Page 212] who ingrossed the Rolls.

13ly. That the English Barons, who were tit [...]lary Earls in Scotland under the Kings Jurisdiction and Alle­gance were alwayes summoned and li [...]ed among [...] the Earls of England in the Rolls of Summons, not amongst the English Lords aud Barons who were no Earls: wit­nesse Gilbert, and Robert de Vmfranil, Earls of Anegos in Scotland, and David de Stabolgi, Earl of Athol, al­wayes summoned to the Parliaments by the Titles of these their Scotish Earld [...]ms, and li [...]ted amongst the En [...] lish Earls, not Barons, in the Clause Rolls. Gilbert de Vmfranil being summoned by Writ as Earl of An [...]gos, to no lesse than 12. Robert de Vmfranil to 63. Gilbert [...] Vmfran [...]l his Son, to 50. English Parliaments, & David de Sirabolgi to 21. Parliaments and great Councils, as Earl of Athol (as the ensuing Table will inform you) amongst the other Earls of England: but no other Earls of Scotland besides these two. The reason whereof was only this, because they were English Barons, and held lands by Barony in England, though the Titles of their Earldoms were not English [...] but Scotish, y [...]t they were under the Kings Subjection Allegiance; and their Re­sidence when thus summoned, was upon their Ba­ronies in England. That Gilbert de Vmfranil, was an English Baron and Lord of Parliament, before he be­came Earl of Anegos, is clear by the Clause Rolls of 23 E. 1. d. 4. 9. & 24 E. 1. d. 7.See Cooks 4. Insti [...]. p. 47. wherein he was summo­ned to 3. Parliaments amongst the English Lords and Barons; but then being Earl of Anegos by discent from his Mother, he, was in Cl. 25 E. 1. d. 25. & sundry Parlia­ments after, alwayes summoned by the name of Earl of Anegos, and listed amongst the Earls of England, as the ensuing Table demonstrates. So Rob. de Umfranil, summo­ned to Parliament amongst the English Barons, Claus. 2. E. 2. d. 20. was in Claus. 2. E. 2. d. 11. and all suc­ceeding Parliaments under Edward the 2. & 3. summo­ned to Parliament as Earl of Anegos among the Earls of England, with whom he is still entred in the Rolls. [Page 213] The like may be said of David de Stra [...]olgi, who though originally a Scotish Earl, was yet afterwards made an English Lord by the King, and held L [...]nds in England by Barony, and upon that account summoned to sun­dry Parliaments and great Councils by [...]e Title of Earl of Athol, and registred amongst the English Earls in the Clause Ro [...]ls. Which I thought meet to touch, both to rectifie and clear that do [...]b [...]e mistake in the Antiquity of the Parliaments of England (newly printed) p. 46. That Peers of Scotland were wont to come and be summoned to the Parliament. And that the Peers of Scot­land came to the Parliament for Iustice: which the Author indeavours to prove by 39 F. 3. 35. in a writ of R [...]v [...]shment de Gard, against Gilbert Vmfravi [...]; who demanded judg­m [...]nt of the writ, because he was Earl of Anguish, and not so named in the writ, &c. When as he was not sum­moned to our Parliament as a Peer of Sco [...]land, but on­ly as an English Baron dignified with the Title of a Sco­tlsh Earldome; and came not to our English Parliament for Iustice; but was summoned to it by Spe [...]l writs, as a Peer and Member thereof; as the Clause Ro [...]ls resolve, and the very year Book likewise. Of which more here­after in its proper place.

14ly. That no Forein Prelates, Earls, Nobles, Ba­rons of Ireland, Scotland or France were formerly sum­moned to the Parliaments of England, as pro [...]er Mem­bers thereof or Lords of Parliament, to make Laws or impose Taxes, or give Iudgment, or Counsel in any matters relating to England, but only our English Pre­lates, Earls, Lords and Barons; as is most apparent by these special clauses in the writs of Summons. ‘Ibidem Vobiscum, ac cum caeteris Praelatis, Magnatibus, & Proceribus DICTIREGNI ANGLIAE (never Scotiae Franciae, or Hiberniae in any writs whatsoever) collo­quium habere volumus & tractatum.

But no Place or Voyce at all to their Peers or Burges­ses in the Parliaments of England, amongst the Earls, Lords or Barons of England; who have no seat, Place, or Voyce at all in the Parliaments of Scotland or Ireland, as they are English Peers (though subordinat Kingdoms to England.) Which I shall farther clear in some ensuing Sections.

15ly. That there is a great diversity between writs of Summons to Parliaments, or General Parliamenta­ry [Page 2015] Councils; and to particular Councils upon emergent occasions which are not properly Parliaments; all the Bishops, Abbots, Priors, Earls, Lords, Barons, together with the Judges and Kings Counsil, Citizens, Burges­ses of Parliament, and Barons of the Ci [...]que ports, being usually summoned to the one; but some few Spi­ritual and Temporal Lords only, without any Judges, Assistants, Knights, Citizens Burgesses or Barons of the Cinque-ports, or some few of them only, and divers who were no usual Lords, Barons of Parliament (as in 32 E. 3. d. 14. and other Rolls) summoned to the other, as the Clause Rolls a [...]test. Which difference some ignorant Antiquaries not observing, have confoun­ded them both together as one and the same, and mis­taken some writs of Summons only to a Council, or to a conference with the King & his Privy Counsil upon extra­ordinary dangers & occasions, for writs of Summons to a Parliament. Such amongst other forecited writs, are these ofHere, p. 187, to 192. 35 E. 3. dors. 36. & 36. E. 3. d. 42. Where all those Earls, Lords, Abbots, Peers, Great men, Gen­tlemen, Counte [...]es, Ladies and Dowagers who had Lands in Ireland (and none else but they alone) were summoned, the Temporal Lords and great men, to ap­pear in proper Person, the Clergymen, Countesses, La­dies and Dowagers, to send one or more Proxies or De­puties in whom they specially confided, to the King and his Counsil at Westminster (not to the Parliament) there to confer and treat with them concerning the relief of Ireland, and their passage to, or sending men of Arms speedily into Ireland, to resist, suppress the Irish Rebels, who much infested, wasted, and endangered it; as the whole frame and contents of the writs themselves, and the marginal Notes in the Rolls, De Consillo Sum­monito: De Veniendo ad Consilium, &c. resolve beyond all contradiction. Which Ioseph Holland and others not considering, in their Antiquity of the Parliaments of England, p. 23. 88. have published these two grosse mistakes together, viz. That in the time of Edward the [Page 216] th [...], ther [...] was a writ then in use; De admittendo [...]ide dignas ad colloquium, &c. It is recorded amongst the Summons of Parliament, 35 E. 3. that there is a writ, De admittendo fide dignos ad Colloquium. And amongst the Earls and Barons there is retorned. M [...]ry Countesse de Norff: Alianoxa Countesse de Ormond▪ Philippa Coun­tesse de March, Agnes Countesse de Pembroke, and Katherine Countesse of Athol. When as these Coun­tesses were not recorded nor retorned amongst the Earls and Barons in any Summons to Parliament, nor were they required to send or come to any Parliament or Parliamentary Council; nor is th [...]re any writ, in this or any other Roll; De admittendo fide dignas, or dignos ad Colloquium; as they confidently affirme. But they were only summoned by writ to send men of Arms into Ireland with other Lords, Gentlemen, Clergymen, who had Lands and Possessions there, as these Countesses all had, for to defend and recover the same from the Irish Enemies; and commanded;See here p. [...]88, 189, 190, 191. Ali­quos vel aliquem de quibus, vel de quo specialiter confidi­tis MITTATIS apud Westm. &c. Which MITTA­TIS these Pseudo-Antiquaries, have metamorphosed into a writ, DE ADMITTENDO fide dignas ad Collo­quium. By which grosse perversion they have eviden­ced themselves and their Treatises, not to be fide dig­ni, in these and other particulars rela [...]ing to our Par­liaments, wherewith they have deceived both them­selves and others, who adore these their Oversights for Oracles.

16ly. That when any of the Earls, Lords or Nobles were imployed in the Wars in France, Scotland, Ire­land, or any other service for the King in forein parts, they were omitted out of the lists of Summons to Par­liaments, and Parliamentary Councils; and if any writs in such cases issued to them they were usually re­voked & cancelled, and entries thereof made upon the Clause Rolls: This is evident by Claus. 11 E. 3. 25. dors. 11. where I find these 2. Presidents in the lists [Page 211] of the Lords and Barons names. Thomae Wake de Lydett, VACAT QUIA IN OBSEQUIO REGIS. Henry de Grey, VACAT, QUIA IN OBSEQUIO RE­GIS. After which, at the end of all the writs of Summons to the Sheriffs, Warden of the Cinque­ports, and Kings Counsel, follows this entry of writs to some Earls, Lords and Gentlemen, besides those first mentioned after the Spiritual Lords then summo­ned.

If any Baron or Lords name were in the list of Sum­mons, and he not actually summoned; there was then a Vacat entred in the Roll; as in Claus. 11. E. 3. p. 1. dors. 8. Iohi de Sutton de Holdernesse (VACAT [Page 218] QUIA NON FUIT SUMMONITUS) And if he died before the Parliament, then his death was entred upon the Roll, as Claus, 9. E. 3. d. 28. Iohi de Clynton, MORTUUS EST.

17ly. That when any Temporal Lords or Prelates had writs of Summons to Parliament issued to them in times of warr and danger, whilst they were imployed in the Warrs against the Scots in the North, or parts of Scotland; if they could not desert the Warrs and at­tend personally in Parliament without danger and pre­judice to the Publike, they had then writs of coun­termand sent them, not to recede from the parts where they were in Service, notwithstanding their Sum­mons to Parliament. For which I find this memora­ble president in Claus. 30 E. 1. d. 7. De non recedendo à partibus Scotiae,

As for the Bishops in such cases, they were by other special writs authorized to make Proctors to supply their places; though summoned by the original writs to appear personally in Parliament, and not by Proxies; as in Claus. 20 E. 3. pars 2. d. 22. and Claus. 46 E. 6. d. 11. forecited p. 51. 52. 58.

18ly. That if the King either Summoned or proro­gued a Parliament to a certain day and place by his writs, commanding the Earls, Lords and other great men personally to appear in Parliament at that day and place; and then by reason of other emergent occasions could not meet them, or hold the Parliament at the time and place prefixed, he then usually discharged them all from their attendance by a subsequent wrir; Of which we have this pregnant example, Claus. 5. E. 2. d. 17.

Consimiles Literae dirigunter subscriptis: viz. to 6. Earls more, and the rest of the Lords summoned with them to appear personally at this Parliament.

19ly. That sometimes the Temporal Lords as well as Prelates, were more strictly and peremptorily requi­red, and adjured with greater earnestnesse to appear Personally in Parliaments and Parliamentary Coun­cils, then they were at other seasons, without admit­ting any excuses or making any Proxies; because through their absence and want of their personal pre­sence when summoned, the Parliaments were oft ad­journed to some other time, the businesse of the King and Kingdoms retarded, delayed to the publike prae­judice, and the Parliaments sometimes dissolved without concluding any thing, the Lords and Com­mons there assembled refusing to do or grant any thing, when any of the chief Lords and Prelates were ab­sent,

20. That no Spiritual or Temporal Lords could absent themselves from Parliaments when duly sum­moned thereunto without a reason [...]ble and just excuse, nor make any Proxies or Proctors to supply their pla­ces, but when specially authorized and licensed to do it in or by the writs of Summons, or other special writs, much le [...]e than could they be forcibly secluded the House when summoned by writ; as some of late times have most violently been by those who were rai­sed to defend both their persons and the privileges of Parliament.

21. That armed Guards, Forces, and Troops of Soldiers in or near the Places where Parliaments are assembled and kept, are altogether inconsistent with [Page 215] the Customs, Vsage, Freedom and Privileges of Par­liament; prejudicial obstructions to their proceed­ings, and a great oppression to the people; Vpon which account not only the Earls, Lords and Barons, are sometimes in the writs of Summons specially pro­hibited under grievous forf [...]itures and penalties to re­pair to the Parliament,See here, p. 27, 28▪ 177. ‘With men of Arms, and multitudes of people; and to come only cum dicenti co­mitiva de hominibus bonae discretionis et consilii, et NON CUM HOMINIBUS AD ARMA, sub foris­factura omnium quae Nobis forisfacere poteritis.

Fit pre­sidents for future times to imitate, after so many out­rages and forcible assaults upon the Parliament and their Members by Souldiers and others of late times, beyond all presedents in former ages, to the totall dis­solution both of our Parliaments and their privileges, unlesse carefully regained, reestablished by strictest Laws, exemplary Punishments, and severest pro­hibitions of all armed forces in or near unto the places where future Parliaments shall assemble; who by the just judgment of God upon the former Parliament, (which against the Custom, Freedom and Privilege of Parlia­ments making use of armed mercenary Guards and Soldiers for their defence, hath been unexpectedly af­fronted, assaulted, forced, dissipated, yea destroyed by them, and made their basest Slaves and Captives) [Page 223] may learn to avoid all such extravagances and over­sights in succeeding ages.

22. It is observable and most evident by comparing the births of our Princes ofWalsingh [...]m Graf [...]on, Speed, Holin­shed, Daniel Baker, How Martin. Wales and Earls of Chester recorded in our Histories, wi [...]h the dates of their first w [...]its of Summons to Parliam [...]nt [...]; that Ed­ward of Carnarvan, the first Prince of Wales was first summoned by writ to Parliament when he was but 19. years old; that Edward the eldest Son of King Edward the second, as Earl of Chestēr, was first summoned by writ to Parliament when he was scarce 9. years of age; that Edward the black Prince of Wales, was summoned when he was not 20. and Richard his Son Prince of Wales called by writ to Parliament when he was not full 9. years old: The Kings eldest and youngest [...]ons being usually summoned to Parliaments during their Minorities, (though others areSee my Mi­nors no sena­tors. seldom summoned till their full age) even as King Henry the 6. rode trium­phantly to,Speed Chro­nicle, p. [...]828. 829. and sate in State in Parliament in his Queen-mothers lap, before he was full 12. months old.

23. I observe, that in Claus. 27 E. 1. d. 6. 16. Ado­marus de Valencia, was summoned and listed among the Earls, without the Title of Earl annexed to his name, being then, as I conceive, Earl of P [...]mbroc, and so stiled in succeeding Summons: And in Claus. 50 E. 3. pars. 2. d.(See the Ta­ble of Earls, ensuing,) 6. Thomas de Wodestoke Constabularius Angliae, and Henry de Percy Marescallus Angliae, are listed amongst the Earls without any Title of Earls; yet in the next writ of Summons, Claus. 1. R. 2. d. 31. 37. Thomas de Wodestoke, is stiled Com▪ de Buck: et Constab. Angliae: and Henry de Percy, Com. Northumb. in the list of the Earls; and therefore I apprehend they were Earls in 50 E. 3. (as our Histories & Heraulds report them) though not so stiled [...]n-the Roll of Summons.

24. That the names of the Kings Counsil, Justices, and other Officers, [...]ummoned to Parliaments only as Assistants, are sometimes inserted into the Eodem mo­do [Page 218] mandatum est; and Confimiles literae next after the the Lords and Barons name without any space, line or distinction between them, sometimes with a lines di­stance, or small space only from them; sometimes they are distinguished from the Lords and Barons by the words Milites, or Cl [...]ricis Consilii, & I [...]st [...]iar▪ added in the Margin and a small space between them, as in Claus. 5 E. 2. d. 17. Cl. 2 E. 1. and sometimes they are in [...]exmixed with the Lords and Barons names, and listed amongst them [...], as in Claus. 8 E. 2. d. 35. Roger de Brabazon and 7 others of them are [...] named amongs [...]th Lords and Barons, and so in Claus. 3 E. 3. d. 19. Claus. [...] E. 3. p. 2. d. 7.

In the Clause Roll of 25 E. 1. d. 25. the word Mi­lites is inserted in the Margin over a [...]ainst the Names of the Judges and Kings Counsil, in the Eodem modo, and in Claus. 5 E. 2. d. 17. Clericis consilii, & Iusti­ciar. is written in the Margin, to distinguish them from the Lords, and Barons, (but in no Rolls besides) with­out the word Barones superadded to the Barons and Greatmen in the catalogue of their names.

24. That although the word BARO and BARO­NES in the Clause Rolls of King Iohn, Henry the 3d [...] Edward 1. 2. & Histories,See My plea for the Lords, p. 60. to 303. 506. 507. Magna Char­ta Preface, c. 2. 14. 31. 37. Cha [...]a Fore­stae, c. 4. 11. 26. 3 [...] H. 3. c. 10. 3 E. 1. P [...]ologue. Great Charters and Statutes in their reigns be frequently used, applied to all the Temporal Lords of Parliament, yet in all the Clause Rolls and Writs of Summons I have seen, no particular persons amongst them are summoned by the Title of Barons, but only the Barons of Greystok, Graystoke, or Craystoke, and the Barons of Stafford: In the Clause Rolls of Ed. 1, & 3, so of Rich. 2. H. 4. 5. and 6. writs are frequently issued Iohanni BARONI de Greystoke, Willo. BARONI de Greystoke, Rado. BARONI de Greystoke, as they are s [...]iled in the Eodem modo; yet in other writs, lists, rolls in the Eodem modo, the direction to these very Barons, is many times Iohanni de Craystoke, or Greystoke, Willo. & Rado. de Greystoke, without the ad­dition of BARONI annexed to them; which Title is [Page 221] totally omitted in all the Ro [...]s of Edw. the 4th. as the ensuing Alphabetical and Chronological Table, with my Table to the Exact Abridgement of the Records in the Tow­er, will more particularly inform you. So in the Rolls of King E. 1. & 3. (mentioned in the following Table) the directions in sundry writs in the [...]od [...]m modo are, Edmundo, & Rado. BARONI de Stafford; and in o­ther writs to the one of them, he is stiled only Rado. de Stafford, BARONI being omitted in his Ti­tle, BARO, being given [...]o none (for ought I can find) in any lists of summons, but to these 2. Barons of Greystoke and Stafford alone.

25. That in my best observation [...] the Title or Ad­dition of MILES or CHIVALER, was not given to any Temporal Lords or Barons in any writs or lists of Summons to Parliament before Claus. 49 E. 3. dorse 4. 6. & 50 E. 3. pars 2. d. 6. wherein summons issued Willielmo le Morle Chivaler, Willielmo de Aldeburgh Chivaler, Iohanni de Well. Chivaler, Hugoni de Dacre Chivaler; after which it grew more common under King Rich. the 2. Henry 4. and 5. when many of the Temporal Lords and Ba [...]ons had this addition given them sooner or later; those who wanted it in one, two, three, four or more writs of Summons at first, before they were Knighted, receiving it in subsequent writs after they were Knighted. After the beginning of King Henry the 6. and during the reign of Edw. the 4th. there was scarce any Temporal Lord in the lists of sum­mons but was stiledSee Cokes 4 Instit. p. 5. Chivaler, or Miles, being all genetally Knighted for their greater honour. Of all the Temporal Lords, I find onely one namely Tho. de la Ware, constantly stiled MAGISTER Tho. de la Ware in all writs of summons to him from 23 R. 2. [...]05 H. 6. as the en [...]uing Table will inform you; the true and only rea­son whereof I apprehend to be this, that before the temporal Dignity of a Lord or Baron descended to him, See Co [...] 4 Instit. p. 5. he had been a Clergyman in sacred Orders; this Title Magister being alwayes prefixed before the Names of [Page 220] all of the Kings Council who were Clergy-men, in their summons to Parliament as Assista [...]ts to the Lords House, as the writs and Table in the next Section will inform you [...] not to distinguish him from the Lords who were Knights, as some mistake, because none of the other Lords who were not Knights, had this Title Magister given to them, but he alone: Now whereas in the summons of 1 E. 4. Iohn de Audley, isCook, ib. stiled Armiger, I conceive it mistaken by the Clerks for Chlr. he being ever [...]iled Chivaler, not Armiger, in the sum­mons of 49 H. 6. d. 6. 2 E. 4. d. 3. 6 E. 4. d. 1. and all other summons else; and not one Baron or Lord Armiger, but he alone, though unknighted; Armiger being a petty inferior Title, not suitable to his Lord­ship or P [...]erage.

26. That the Prince of Wales, Dukes, Earls and Mar­quesses, are regularly stiled by their Christian names, and Titles or Places of their Dignities, and very rarely (yet now and then) by theirSeldens titles of Ho­nor, p. 722. Cook 4 Instit. p. p. Sirnames; but the [...]emporal Lords and Barons till the end of King Rich. the 2. his reign, in the writs of summons directed to them, are for the most part stiled by their Christian names and Surnames, or by their Baronies supplying Surnames [...] and sometimes both by their Surnames and Baronies. That the Ti [...]le DOMINUS, was not usu­ally given to any of them, except two, before the reign of King Henry the 6. The first in my observation to whom this [...]itle was given in any writ of summons, was Iohn de Moubray, who in Claus. 16 E. 3. par. 2. d. 13. and so in other succeeding writs (though not in all) is stiled Iohn de Moubray DOMINUS Insulae de Axholm: none else having this Title till af [...]er the reign of Rich. the 2. The next so stiled is in Claus. 11 H. 4. d. 32. where a writ issued Iohanni Talbot DOMINO de Fur­ [...]vall; which though omitted in some summons af­ter, is again used in the summons to him Cl. 4 H. 5. d. 16. and Cl. 8H. 5. d. 2. Afte [...] which I finde none so stiled till Cl. 23 H. 6. d. 21. where Robert Hungerford [Page 221] Chivaler, is stiled DOMINUS de Mollins; as he is in Cl. 25 H. 6. d. 24. which gives the title of DOMINUS de Poynings to H [...]nry Peircy. In Cl. 27 H. 6. d. 24. this title DOMINUS is given to Hungerford, Percy, and 4 more; in Cl. 28 H. 6. d. 26. it is added to 8. In Cl. 29 H. 6. d. 41. to 16. after which it grew more common to them and most others who were summoned; as the ensuing Table will more particularly inform you. But though the temporal Lords in the writs of summons issued to them, were seldom stiled Lords or Barons be­fore 23 H. 6. yet it is observable, that when any of them are particularly mentioned in theSee Exact Abridgement, p. 18. to 25. 121, to 124. Parliament Rolls, Acts of Parliament, Commissions or Patents, they are usually stiled BARONS or LORDS, as in the Pro [...]gue of Magna Charta 9 H. 3. &c. 2. 14. 37.

IURIBUS AC SVPERIORIT ATIBUS SEMPER ILLAESIS ET SALVIS; yet the Queen with the English Barons, would not acknowledg him for an Earl nor Baron in England upon any terms; the Queen resolving; That she would by no means permit any of her sheep, or subjects, to wear the badge, or follow the whistle of any forein Shepherd or Prince, but only her own. In the d [...]bate of which case, it was alleged by the English Peers Camdeni Elizabetha, p.

I finde this Iohn Beauchamp only once mentioned in the List of Summons in Claus. 11 R. 2. dors 24. dated 27 die Decembris, within 3. moneths of his creation; where he is stiled only Iohanni Beauchamp de Kider­minster, [Page 229] but neither Dominus de Beauchamp, nor BA­RO de Kiderminster: After which in the summons of 27 H. 6. till 12 E. 4. one of his posterity was summo­ned by the stile of Iohn Beauchamp Miles, DOMINUS DE BEAUCHAMP, without the Title of BARO de Kiderminster, expressed in any of the Rolls. For the various significations of the word Baro, and the several kinds or degrees of Barons, you may at leisure consult Bartholomeus Cassanaeus, his Catalogus Gloriae mundi, pars 8. Consid. 15.

29. That I finde no president of any person created a Baron by special writ, but only one; whereby Henry Bromfleet Knight and the heir males of his body were created Barons of Vescy, by this writ entred after the Names of the Temporal Lords in the summons of Claus. 27 H. 6. m. 26. dorso.

See the Exact Abridg­ment of the ment of the Records in the Tower, p. p. 637. Mr. Seldens Titles of Honor, p. 541. and My Plea for the Lords, p. 153. Rex dilecto et fidelissimo Henrico Broms [...]eet Mili­ [...]i, salutem. Cum, &c. (ut supra, usque ibi) Tractatum: (et tum sic) Vobis in fide et ligeantia quibus Nobis tene­mini, &c. ut supra.) nullatenus omittatis. Volumus enim VOS & HAEREDES VESTROS MASCULOS de corpore vestro legitimè exeuntes BARONES DE VES­CEY EXISTERE. T. [...]ege apud Westm. vicesimo quarto die Januarii; of a different date from that in the other summons, This special writ and clause of crea­tion had been meerly void and nugatory, had the gene­ral writ alone ennobled him and his Posteritie, and them Lords and Barons of Parliament.

Yet notwi [...]hstanding this special writ creating him BARON of Vescy; it is observable, that in all the sub­sequent writs of summons of 28, 29, 31, 33, 38 H. 6. nd 1, 3, 7 E 4. he is alwaies stiled DOMINUS, but ne­ver [Page 230] BARO de VESCY; in any one List or Roll. I find in the Cl. Rolls of 49 H. 3. 23 E. 1. & 6. 7. 8 E. 2. Iohn de Vescy first, and after him William de Vescy sum­moned amongst other temporal Lords. By which it is evident, that there were Lords and Barons of Vescy (though not so stiled in the Rolls) under these 3. Kings who were summoned to Parliaments; But after the summons of 8 E. 2. there is no mention of them in any Rolls (the Barony escheating for want of issue male, or by attainder, as is probable) till Sir Henry Bromfleet and his issu [...] males were created Barons thereof, by the pre­mised writ. A sufficient evidence, th [...]t no general writ of summons created any Gentlemen who were summo­ned to Parliaments, Barons, unless they held Lands by Barony and were Barons by Tenure; there being no Clause or words in the general ordinary writs of Sum­mons, creating any persons summoned, Earls, Lords or Barons, or giving them these Titles, unless they were Earls, Lords and Barons by Patent or Tenure before their Summons; the writs fli [...]ing them onely such as they were when issued to them, and conferring no new Dig­nity or Title on them; as I have (1) elswhere proved at large.

30. That the most ordinary writs of Summons bo [...]h to the Spiritual and Temporal Lords,My Plea for the Lords E­pistle to the Reader, and p. 127 to 162. Sherifs, and others use only the words Magnates, or Proceres, Magna ibus & Proceribus jointly, or one of them alone without the other, to expresse the Temporal Lords and Nobles, without the word Barones, or Baronibus, which very rarely occur [...] in any writs, except only in the w [...]its to the Sherifs, C [...]aus. 24 E. 3. d. 7. and the writs of Cl. 28 E. 1. d. 3. Claus. 5 E. 3. d. 25. & 12 E. 3. pars 2. d. 32. wherein the word BARONES is mentioned in some of them, and this Clause Cum Comitibus, BARO­NIBUS, & caeteris Proceribus, or Magnatibus Regni nostri, used in others of them, upon extraordinary occasions; bu [...] in no writs besides to my best remem­brance; which run usually; Cum Praelatis et caeteris Pro­ceribus, [Page 231] or Magnatibus, or Proceribus et Magnatibus di­cti regni tractaturi, vestrumque Consilium impensuri; without the word BARONIBUS. Which being not so much as once mentioned in these ordinary (but only in 2. or 3. extraordinary) writs, it is most evident to all, that the issuing of such writs to any Knights, Esquires, or Gentlemen, to summon them to Parliaments, can neither create nor constitute them Barons by writ; be­cause they neither stile them (nor any of the Lords and Nobles, (but those two forementioned) [...]arons, nor use the word BARO at all; but only Proceres, or Mag­nates.

31. It is evident by all these writs, That the antient temporal Earls, Lords, Barons, are most essential necessa­ry constitutive Members of our English Parliaments and Great Councils, to which they alwaies were, and ought of right to be summoned; and that no Parlia­ment may or ought to be summoned or held without them, since both the writs to themselves, as likewise to the Archbishops, Bishops, Abbots, Priors, Sherifs of Counties, and Particular Cities and Corporations which are Counties within themselves, the Wardens of the Cinque Ports, Justices and other Assistants, in the bodies and essential parts of them, at least once, twice, or more frequently thus recite; ‘Quia, &c. ordinayimus quoddam Parliamentum apud We [...]m. &c. CUM PROCERIBUS, or MAGNATIBUS, or MAGNATIBUS ET PROCERIBUS dicti regni nostri tenere, &c. personaliter intersitis Nobiscum, et cum caeteris, or cum PROCERIBUS, MAGNA­TIBUS, or MAGNATIBUS & PROCERIBUS, prae­dictis super dictis nego [...]iis tractaturi, vestrum (que) Con­silium impensuri:’ Which I having more largely e­videnced in my Plea for the Lords, and House of Peers, shall here no further insist on.

32. That sometimes the King summoned some par­ticular Bishops and Lords to treat with him about pub­like businesses by writ, much like to a summons to [Page 232] Parliament, without summoning other Lords, for which take this president in lieu of more.

‘Cl. 6 E. 2. d. 5. Rex venerabili in Christo Patri ea­dem gratia Bathon. et Wellen. Episcopo salutem. Quia pro diversis arduis negotiis Nos et terram Vasconiae tangentibus in brevie ad partes Franciae, concedente Domino, sumus profecturi, ac vobiscum super aliqui­bus quae Nos tangunt ante passagium nostrū ad partes praedictas habere volumus Colloquium et tractatum. Vobis mandamus in fide et dilectione quibus Nobis tenemini firmiter injungentes, quod omnibus aliis praetermissis sitis ad Nos apud Cant. die Jovis prox. ante festum Ascensionis Domini prox. futur. super praemis­sis Nobiscum tractaturi.

The like Episcopo Norwich, Wal­tero de Thorp, Gilberto de Middleton. T. ut supra, to come to the King apud Dover, another day.’

33 It is most apparent by these respective Clauses twice recited in all antient and modern writs of sum­mons to the Spiritual & Temporal Lords, & 4 or 5 times in the writs of Prorogation & Resummons to them (here­after cited Section 7.) Vobiscum & cum caeteris Praelatis (or) cum Praelatis et caeteris Magnatibus et Proceribus dicti regni habere volumus (or proponimus) Colloquium & Tractatum. Vobis mandamus, &c. quod personaliter ad dictos diem & locum intersitis, Nobiscum et cum caeteris Praelatis, Magnatibus et Proceribus dicti regni super dictis negotiis tractaturi, vestrumque Consilium impensuri: which make not the least mention of their sitting, treating, or consulting with the Knights, Citizens, Burgesses or Commons of the Realm, or of theirs with the Lords. And by the like Clauses in the writs of Summons to the Kings Counsil, and in the writs issued to Sheriffs for electing Knights, Citizens and Burgesses: The first part whereof recites, Quia nos de avisamento et assensu Con­silii [Page 233] nostr [...], &c. quoddam Parliamentum nostrum apud W. &c. t [...]neri ordinavimus, et ibidem cum Praelatis, Magnati­bus & Proceribus dicti regni nostri Colloquiū [...]abere et Tra­ctatu [...] (without mentioning any Conference or Treaty at all of the Commons jointly with the Prelats, Lords & Great men in the Parliament) who by the writ are to be elected, re [...]urned, summoned, impowred only; Ad faciendum et consentiendum hiis, quae tunc ibidem de Com­muni Consilio regni nostri, or Praelatorum, Magnatum & Procerum dicti regni nostri (divina favente Clementia, con­tigerit ordinari. That the Lords and Commons nev [...]r sate and consulted together as one intire House in the Parliaments of England, since their first Summons to our Parliaments, but that the [...] alwaies sate and consul­ted asunder one from the other: Therfore Sir Edw. Cook his over-confident Assertion (without any real ground of Authority or reason) in his 4. Institutes, p. 4. Certain it is, that at the first both Houses [...]ate together; as it appea­reth by Modus tenendi Parliamentum (which directly avers the contrary, Sect. 15, 16▪ 17, 27.) and by 5 E. 3. n. 3. other places of the same Roll, and in 6 E. 3. in divers places it appeareth, that the Lords and Commons sate together; (when as both those Parliament Rolls and o­thers un [...]er Ed. 3. expresly evidence the contrary, as I haveIn my Pre­face to an Ex­act Abridge­ment of the Records of the Tower. elsewhere fully evidenced) must be exploded as Apochryphal, and enumerated amongst his other mi­stakes.

34 That the Temporal Lords could not impose any Tax, Aid or Subsidy upon the Archbishops, Bishops, Abbots, Priors and Spiritual Lords or Clergy without or against their particular grants or assents in Convocation, no more than the Spiritual Lords and Clergy could impose any Aids or Taxes upon the Temporal Lords and Com­mons; as I have formerly evidenced (p. 113. to 120. 148, 149, 153, 154, 155.) For further evidence where­of I shall hereunto subjoyn this ensuing memorable writ, casuall [...] omitted out of the first Section, pag. 31. where it should have been placed.

His father, William, by judgement of Parli [...] ­ment in the reign of Edward the 6. for endeavouring to [Page 236] poyson his Unkle the Lord de la Ware, to gain his inhe­ritance and honour; was disabled to enjoy any inheri­tance or honour that might descend to him by his Un­kles death: Afterwards in Queen Maries reign he was condemned of High Treason; and not long after intirely restored, as if he had not been condemned. Being disabled by his first Sentence to inherit his Unkles ho­nor, upon his death, he was by Queen Elizab [...]ths special Favour and Letters Patents, created Baron de la Ware de novo, and sat only as a younger Baron then newly crea­ted, during his life; After his death, his son petitioning, to enjoy the place of his Ancestors in Parliament, the Queen referred the business to the Lords in Parliament; who fin­ding the judgement against William his Father, to be only personal, and not to bind his children, and that the judgement given against him under Queen Mary, was no obstacle, both because he could not lose that Digni­ty and Honor by it, which then he had not (his Unkle being then alive) and because he was soon after intirely restored; and for that the an [...]ient Dignity and Barony was not extinct by his new Creation, but only suspended during his life, being not vested in him at the time of his late Creation; the Lords thereupon, locum [...]i avi­tum ADJUDICAVERUNT inter Barones Willough­beium de Eresby, & Berkleium, in quo ritè locatur. In the same Parliament, it was resolved by the Lords in the case of Thomas Howard Baron of Walden, Knight of the G [...]rter; who being sick and unable to come to the House himself, Baron Scroop, as his Proxy, was brought into the Lords House in his Parliamentary Robes be­tween two Barons, the chief King of Arms going before him; where presenting his Patent and Creation, when the Lord Keeper of the Great Seal had read it, he was placed below all the rest of the Barons, though he were the younger son of a Duke, whose sons by an Order of Parliament made in the 6. year of King Henry the 8. ought to take place of all Viscounts, and other Barons, which the Lords then resolved, to be intended out of [Page 237] P [...]rliament, but they ought to sit in the Parliament house only according to the time of their being created Barons; as Mr. Cambden relates out of the Lords I [...]urnal.

37. That the n [...]mbers of Earls, Barons, Temporal Lords and Great men summo [...]ed to our Parliaments and Great Councils, andentred after the Eodem modo, and Consimiles literae in the Rolls and Li [...]ts of Summons are oft times very various and different; there be­ing many more of them summoned to some Parlia­ments and Great Council [...] than to others, as you may easily discern by comparing their Numbers, which I have here presented you with in the grosse after eve­ry writ; the Prince of Wales himself, the Duke of Lan­caster, and other Dukes, and Earls, as well as inferior Lords, Barons and Great men, being left out of some Lists of Summons, one, two, or three Parliaments and Great Councils together, or more; and then inserted again into others; the true reasons whereof I appre­hend to be these ensuing.

1. Their absence in forein parts or els [...]where in the warrs, or [...]pon other special services of the King; in which cases no wr [...]ts of Summons issued to them; and if their names were entred in the Lists of the summons, they were usually cancelled or rased out of them; wit­ness theHere p. 217, 218. forecited entrys, in the Lists o [...] Claus. 11 E. 3. pars 2. dors. 11.

2ly. Their abodeHere p. 185, 186. beyond the Seas upon their own particular occasions, Both which causes frequently happened during the wars with France, Scotland, and Ireland; and whiles our Kings and Nobles had any Lands and Possessions in France, Aquitain, Normandy, Anjow, Picardy, and other parts beyond the Seas. Ma­ny of the Earls, Lords, Barons, Great men, and our Kings themselves being oft times by reason of Warrs, Treaties, Embassies, and defence of their Inheritances, absent in forein parts, when Parliaments were summo­ned and held in England by the Custos Regni, or Com­missioners; [Page 239] at which times I generally finde there were fewer Earls, Barons and Noblemen summoned to our Parliaments and Great Councils, than in times of Peace, or when our Kings were personally present in England, most of the Earls and Temporal Lords attending on them in person in their w [...]rrs and voyages into forein parts, as on Ed. 3 H. 4 5, & 6.

3ly. The Civil wars hapning now and then between the King, Lords and Barons: upon which occasion some of the Temporal Lords whiles in open hostility and re­bellion against the King, were now and then (as I con­jecture) left out of the Lists of Summons, because they could not be conveniently summoned, or would not ap­pear upon any summons if sent them.

4ly. The attainders, or Outlawries of some Earls, Lords and Barons of High Treason for their wars, In­surrections, Rebellions, or other Treasons against the King; which disabled themselves and their Posterities to be summoned to Parliaments, till pardoned▪ or re­stored by the King to thei [...] honours, bloud, Lordships, Baronies and L [...]nds.

5ly. The Alie [...]ation of some Baronies by te [...]ure, by sales, gifts, marriages, escheats, or otherwise from one person, name, family to another, whereby the former Barons only by Tenure, were no more summoned after such Alienations, but the new Tenants who purchased or possessed them.

6ly.

Minors being unfi [...] to be Senators, Counse [...]lors, Judges in the Supremest [Page 240] Council▪ Judica [...]ure of the Realm, as I haveIn my plea for the Lords. elsewhere proved.

7ly. Our Kings Liberty and Prerogative; who though obliged by the an [...]ient Laws and customs of the Realm, the Con [...]i [...]utions of Clarindon, the Great Charter of King Iohn, (See my Plea for the Lord [...], p. 21, 22 35. [...], p. 217.Ad habendum COMMUNE CONSILIUM REGNI a [...] Auxiliis assidendis et de Scutagiis assidendis, [...] faciemus Archiepiscopos, Episcopos, Abbates, COMITES & MAIORES BARONES REGNI SINGILLATIM PER LITER AS NOSTRAS, &c.) & ex debito Iustitiae (as4 lust [...]. p. 1. Sir Edward Cook informs us,) to summon EVERY ONE OF THE TEMPORAL LORDS BY DESCENT OR CREATION being of full age, by writs to our Parliaments when held; yet they have likewise a Freedom and Prerogative to create New Earls, Lords, Barons by special Writs or Patents, or to Summon what particular Gentlemen and others of Parts and Abilities they please to their Parliaments and Great Councils, to counsel and advise them, as the exi­gency of their affairs shall require, and they and their Counsel shall think necessary, pro hac vice tantum, or so oft as they deem necessary, without creating them Earls, Lords, or Barons for life or inheritance, by their general writs of Summons, as I haveSee my Plea for the Lords Epistle to the Reader, and p. 147. to 161 elswhere eviden­ced.

38. That the Eodem mod [...] mandatum est, &c. And Con­similes literae diriguntur subscriptis, in the Clause Rolls, are for the most part general, without defining the De­grees and Qualities of the persons underwritten, except Dukes and Earls (specified by their Titles) but few else besides them. And sometimes special: As Eodem modo mandatum est Comitibus et Baronibus subscriptis,Here p. 163, 164, 171, &c.Consi­mile mandatum habent singuli Comites, BARONES, & MILITES subscripti. Consimiles Literae diriguntur Co­mi [...]bus, BARONIBUS & MILITIBUS SUBSRIP­TIS. So as it is a difficult matter certainly to define by the large list of names, which of them were real Lords and Barons of Parliament, and which not, except [Page 241] those only who were usually summoned and listed in the Rolls amongst the Lords and Barons, and their po­sterity after them; or such who are expresly stiled ei­ther Barons or Lords in the writs or lists of names, of which I shall give you one instance. In the summons of Claus. 5 E. 2. m. 25. dorso. in the Eod [...] modo man­datum est Comitibus et Baronibus subscriptis, there is this List of names, with a particular distinction made of their Degrees in the Margin; declaring all in that Catalogue, to be Earls and Barons; and in no Roll else upon my best observation.

3. Th [...]t Iohn ap Adam was called by Writ to no lesse then 16. successive Parliaments and Grand Councils of the Realme, under King Ed. 1. 2. and 3. Roger de Ba­nent to 22. under Ed. 2. and 3. Guido de Bryan to 37. under E. 3. and R. 2. Iohn de Claverings to 45. under [Page 233] E. 1. 2. and 3. Philip de Columbariis to 44. under E. 2. and 3. Sir William Herne to 8. under E. 3. R. 2. and H. 4. as likewise Walter de Manny, Iohn de la Mare, Ni­cholas de Meyvill, Thomas de Musgrave, Iohn Somery, Hen­ry de Teyez, Thomas Vhtred, and some others, summon­ed by general Writs, to sundry Parliaments and Coun­cils, by one or more of our Kings; yet they and their Posterities of the same name, were afterwards totally omitted out of the Writs, and lists of Summons, and never summoned again in succeeding times.

4. That Gilbert and William de Acton, Richard and William de Aldeburge, Gilbert and William de Aton, (perchance the same with Acton) Robert and Willi­am de Felton, John, Richard, and Matthew Fitz Iohn, Ralph and Robert de Grendon, Robert and Alexander de Hilton, Adam and Thomas de Novo Mercato, Hugh and Hugh de Sancto Phileberto, Giles and Richard de Playez, Miles and Nicholas de Stapleton, William and Theobald Trussell, William and John Tuchet, to omit others, were successively summoned to one, two, or three Parliaments, Great Councils, not immediately succeeding each o­ther, but some good distance of years and time after the other, (during which, many Parliaments and Councils intervened, to which none of them were called by Writ) and then totally omitted▪ none of their name or posteritie (for ought appeares) being ever summoned again, as the last Table visibly demon­strates.

From which 4. particulars, I conceive it experi­mentally evident beyond dispute, That as the Kings Writs to his Counsell, Justices, and other Assistants (mentioned in the next Section) did neither constitute them nor their issues, Peers or Barons of the Realm, nor Assistants for life, though they sat, advised with the King & Lords upon all weighty occasions in the Lords House:) and as the elections, retornes of Knights, Ci­tizens, Burgesses, Barons of Ports, by the Kings Writs of summons to Parliaments, and their sitting, voting in the [Page 234] Commons House in one or more Parliaments, for which they are elected; (though seconded with the Kings Writs for levying their expences after the Par­liaments ended) do neither create them Knights, Ci­tizens, Burgesses, Barons of Ports, nor Members of the Commons House, during their own lives, much lesse their issue Males in succession after them, but only du­ring the session and continuance of these particular Parliaments and Councils for which they are elected and retorned; which being once▪ determined, they pre­sently ceased to be Knights, Citizens, Burgesses, Barons, in any succeeding Parliaments or Councils, unlesse newly elected and retorned to serve in them by the Kings new Writs, as our4 E 4 f 4 [...]. B [...]ook▪ Offi­cer. 25. 34 II. 8. c. 24. Law books and experience resolve: so, the Kings generall Writs of summons directed to Knights, Gentlemen, and other Laicks, who held not by Ba­rony, and are no Lords nor Barons by special creati­ons, or Descent from their Ancestors, to treat with the King and the rest of the Lords and Great men in the Lords House, and their sitting therein once, twice, or oftener, by Vertue of such Writs, doth in truth and reality neither make, nor create themselves, nor their heires Males after them, in point of law or right, either Peers, Lords or Barons of the Realm for life, or inheritance, nor give them (much lesse their issues after them) a right of summons to, or voice amongst those who are reall Peers and Lords by Tenure, Crea­tion or Descent, in all succeeding Parliaments; but only a temporary right to treat and advise with the King and other Lords in those Parliaments and Coun­cills to which they are particularly summoned, and not in any others; as it did in the cases of Abbots, Priors, and other ecclesiastical persons thus summoned to, and sitting now and then in the Lords House, but holding no Lands by Barony, whose general Writs of summons to, and session in Parliaments and Councils made neither themselves during their lives, nor their successors after them, actuall Peers or Barons of the [Page 235] Realm, as4.

Spelmanni Glostarium, p. 3. 4. others acknowleg, and I haveMy Plea for the Lords▪ p. 151. to 160. elsewhere proved, there being the self same reason, and by consequence the self same Law in both cases; Else our Kings (byInstit. p. 1. Sir Edwards own doctrin) had been and should be bound Ex debito Iustitiae to sum­mon every one of those Knights and Laymen once summoned to, and sitting in any of their Parliaments, and Great Coun­cils (by vertue of their general Writs, without any other creation) during their natural lives, and their beires males being of full age after their deaths, to all succeeding Par­liaments and Councils, and ought not to have omitted them out of the lists of summons at their pleasures, and their posterities after them in all succeeding Par­liaments, as we experimentally find they did, without the least question, claim or complaint made by them or their heirs, for ought I find in Records or Histo­ries. Whereas not only the Earles and Barons in the Parliamentary Great Council at London under King Mat. Paris. p 884 See my Plea for the Lords, p. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. &c. Henry the 3.

Whereupon writs were issued to them; It being a great intrenchment upon the Liberty, Priviledges, and Safety of the Peers of the Land, and of dangerous consequence for the King at his pleasure to omit any of them out of the Writs [Page 236] of summons, keep back their Writs, or restrain them from the Parliament after their receit; as they then resolved in his case, and theMr. Rush­worths Histo­rical Collecti­ons, p. 361. to 375.

5. From this Table we may discern the observation of learned SirGlossarium. p▪ 80. He [...]ry Spelman in his Glossary, touch­ing the summons of the Greater English Barons to Parliaments, to be in a great measure justifiable.

[Page 237] 6. That although some of our ancienter Kings, as Henry the third (to settle Peace after the battle of Lewes, and Barons Wars) Claus. 49. H. 3. d. 10. 11. Cedula, King Edward the 1. and 2. in some of their Parliaments, and King Edward the 3d. in his Great Councill, cl. 32. E. 3. d. 1 4. did upon extraordinary Oc­casions and Necessities, summon not only sundry Abbots, Priors, and Ecclesiasticall Persons, but likewise divers Laymen (of Great estates, Wisdome, Parts and abi­lities) who were no Peers, Lords nor Barons of the Realme, by Tenure, Patent or Descent, by the self same form of generall Writs as they summoned the Bishops, Abbotis, Spiritual and Temporal Lords, who were reall Peers and Barons of the Realme; Vobiscum, &c. & Nobiscum, & cum caeteris Praelatis, Magnatibus, & Proceribus super dictis negotiis [...]ractaturi, Vestrumque Consi­lium impensuri, &c. and that only once, twice, thrice, or perchance oftener, never summoning them nor their heires or successors afterwards, or very rarely: so it is observable, 1. That they did it very seldome, upon extraordinary emergent necessities; not customa­rily, or frequently. 2ly. That they did it not out of any affront or opposition to the antient Hereditary, reall, spiritual or temporal Lords, Peers and Barons of the Realm, to seclude, overvote, baffle, disparage all or any of them; but by their advise, consents and approbation, as the Writs, Rolls, attest, 3ly. That their numbers usually, (except in 49 H. 3. whenSee here p. 160. 161. most of the Barons were slain at Evesham, or in actual armes a­gainst the King; or when some extraordinary aid, ad­vise or assistance was required of them) were not very great nor considerable; the antient spiritual, and temporal Lords and Barons, being usually double, treble, quadruple to them; and for the most part, six or ten to one, as you may easily discerne by comparing their names in every list of summons. 4ly. That there are very few Presidents under King Edward the 3. of an [...] con [...]iderable numbers of such spiritual or tem­poral persons called to his Parliaments, but only to one [Page 238] general Councill, in 32 E. 3. d. 14. 5ly. That after King Edward the 3d. his reigne, there is not one presi­dent of any Archbishop, Bishop, Abbot, Prior or re­ligious persons, summoned to any Parliament to my remembrance, but only of those who held by Barony, and were constantly summoned as Spiritual Peers to all our Parliaments. And very few Presidents, if any, of a Knight, Gentleman, or other Layman whatso­ever, summoned by any general Writs to the Lords House, to treat and consult together with them, un­lesse they were ancient Earles, Lords, or Barons of the Realm, or newly created such by special Patents, before their summons, or by special clauses of creation in the Wri [...]s by which they were summoned, as all the lists of summons in the Clause Rolls, the precedent Table, the Statutes of 5 R. 2. Stat. 2. c. 4. 31 H. 8. c▪ 10. and Mr. Martyns Catalogue of them at the end of his History, clearly manifest. 6ly. That in my best observation there is no president from 49 H. 3. till the last Parlia­ment of King Charles, nor in any age before, where any of the ancient Nobility, Peers, Lords or Barons of the Realme, at least any considerable number of them, (unlesse such who were actually outlawed, or attainted of High Treason, orSee here p. 217. 218. 219. absent in forreign parts, or in actual service in the Wars, or under age) were omitted out of the Writs of summous, or secluded from sitting in the Lords House in any Parliament by force or frand, (unless bySee here p. 221. 222. My Plea for the Lords. p. 278. 279. 282. Mor [...]imer, in the Parliament at Salisbury, An. 2. E. 3. and in 21 R. 2.) nor of o­thers, who were no real Lords, Peers by Patent, Te­nure, or other legal creation, summoned to the Lords House out of England (much lesse out of Scotland and Ireland) to supplant them, or supply their places, un­der any name, notion, or pretext whatsoever. Neither were they or any of them, secluded, disinherited of their seats, Votes, Peerage in Parliament,See Mr. R [...]shwor [...]hs H [...]storical Col­lections p▪ [...] 40 [...]41. 242. 243. [...]44.

It is very observable, that both Houses of Parliament in their Propositions sent to King Charles at their last Treaty with him in the Isle of Weight, to prevent the creation and introduction of any New Lords into future Parlia­ments, to the prejudice, seclusion, or overvoting of the Ancient Nobility, or Commons house, did amongst other things propound.See the Proposiri [...]ns & my Speech in Parliament. p. 43. 44. That BY ACT OF PARLIAMENT, all LORDS and PEERS made by the King since Edward Lord Littleton deserted the Parliament, and carried away the Great Seal the 21. of May, 1642. should be unlorded, unpeered, set by, and their Titles of Honour, Patents, revo­ked, declared null and void to all intents, and never hereafter put in use. And that NO PEER WHICH SHOULD BE HEREAFTER MADE BY THE KING, HIS HEIRES OR SUCCESSORS (who have onely and solely a just, legal power to create them, and none else, as they hereby declare) SHALL SIT IN THE PARLIAMENT OF ENGLAND WITH­OUT CONSENT OF BOTH HOUSES OF PAR­LIAMENT. Which the King then fully and freely consented to without any limitation or exception whatsoever. Since which Proposition of both Houses, and concession by the King, how any person or per­sons who assented to, or approved thereof in any kind▪ as reasonable, or beneficial to the publick; with­out any special Patent or creation from the King, his heires or successors; and without the consent of the House of Lords, and ancient Peers of the Realme (the only proper members of & As King Iames ac­knowledged. See Mr. R [...]sh­worths Histo­rical Collecti­ons p. 25. to 34. Iudges in it) & of the Commons House, (yea against both their consents and approbations) can justly, by any other authority, Patent, Writ, or instrument whatsoever, assume unto themselves the Titles of Lords or Barons of the Realme, or of the Lords House it self; to the disseasing, disinheriting, sup­pressing [Page 240] of the ancient undoubted Peers and House of Lords: Or how any who have Voted down, declared against, and abolished the Lords and Lords House, in sundry Febr. 6. March 17. 19▪ An. 1648. printed Papers, as Uselesse, Dangerous, In­convenient, Oppressive to the People, obstructive to the Proceedings in Parliament, and the like; and afterwards by several Votes, and printedIanuary 2 An. 1649.

The rather, because divers of the Earles, Nobles made by King Stephen were stiled, yea deposed as meer Imaginary, false Earles and Lords, (Quosdam Imaginarios et Pseudo-Comites) and both their Titles and Crown lands given them by Stephen (though King de facto) resumed by King Henry the 2. right heir to the crown, because Stephen was an Usurper; & Chartae Invasoris praejudicium legitimo Principi minime facere deberent, as the Chronicle of Normandy, the Book of the Abby of Waverly, Titles of Honor. p. 650.

Whose President may justly deterre them from any unjust disseisin of the ancient Lords, and setting themselves in their Places.

And thus much for my Observations on, and from the Writs in this second Section.

SECTION 3.
Of Writs of Summons to the Kings Counsil and other Ordinary Assistants to the Lords in Parliaments and Parliamentary Councils; with annotations on them.

THe next Writs of Summons after those to the Spiritual and Temporal Lords entred in the antient Clause Rolls, are those to the Kings Counsil, different only in one or two Clauses from the former, in which else they usually ac­corded. These persons commonly summoned to Parlia­ments as the Kings Counsil by distinct writs from the Lords, as ordinary Assistants both to the King and them in all causes, controversies, Questions of Mo­ment, were mostly the Kings Great Officers, as well Clergymen as Secular persons, who were no Lords nor Barons of the Realm; as namely his Treasurer, Chan­cellor of the Eschequer, Judges of his Courts at West­minster, Justices in Eyre, Iustices assignes, Barons of his Eschequer, Clerks, Secretaries of his Counsil, and sometimes his Serjeants at Law, with such other Officers and Persons whom our Kings thought me [...] [...]o summon.

The first writ of this kinde I yet find extant in our Records is thus entred in Clause 23 E. I. dorso 9.

Then follows a writ to sundry Abbots, Priors, Deans and Chapters, (with the same recital) Quia su­per [Page 346] Iure & Dominio, &c. (as in the last) De mittendi [...] Chronic ad Parliamentum &c. of which in its due place, more fully. The occasion and result whereof, and of sending these Lawyers from the Universities to the Parliament, you may read at large in Matthew Westmin­ster. Anno 1302. p. 419. to 438. and in Thomas de Wal­singham. Hist. Angl. p. 32. to 58.

Before I proceed to the ensuing Writs, I shall here observe, 1. That this recital, Quia super jure & Dominio quae Nohis in regno Scotiae competit, &c. is not mentioned at all in the Writs of Summons to the Archbishops, Bishops, Abbots, Priors, temporal Lords, Justices, or Sheriffs of Counties; but only to the Clergy-men of the Kings Counsil, Vniversities, and to those Abbots, Priors, Deanes and Chapters, who were to search and send their Chronicles to the Parliament, that had any thing in them concerning the Kings right to Scotland. 2ly. That (for the Honour of my Quondam nursing Mo­ther the University of Oxford) she is here preferred be­fore the Vniversity of Cambridge; and her Chancellor and she enjoyned to send 4. or 5. of the discre [...]test and most exact Lawyers of the said University to the Parliament, to treat with the King and the rest of his Counsil, concerning his ancient right and dominion to the Realme of Scotland; whereas the Chancellour and Vni­versity of Cambridge, are commanded to send only 2. or 3. such Lawyers of it for that purpose. 3ly. That these Lawyers sent from the Universities upon this special occasion, were only extraordinary assistants, there being no such president of any thus sent to succeeding Parliaments.

6 The 6. Writ of this kind is in Claus. 30. E. 1. d. 13. Rex dilecto [...] & fidelissimo suo Rogero la Brabazun, salutem. Quia super quibusdam arduis negotiis, Nos & totum Regnum nostrum specialiter tangentibus, Vobiscum & Cum caeteris de Consilio Nostro habere Volumus colloquium & tracta­tum, Vobis mandamus firmiter injungentes, quod in Octabis Nativitatis Sancti Johannis Baptistae prox. futur. ad ul­timum [Page 347] apud Westm. omnibus modis personaliter inters [...]is (Without, & cum caeteris de Consilio nostro.)

Consimiles literae diriguntur subscriptis, viz. 33. more Judges and others, mentioned in the former Ca­talogues.

Anno. 34. E. 1. dors. 2. There is no Writ to the 7 Assistants entred in the Roll: but 16. of them only (Justices and Clergy-men) are named in the Eodem modo, after the Lords and great men, with a [...]little space between their names for distinction sake.

The next Writ of this kind is thus briefly registred,8 Claus. 1. E. 2. dors. 19.

Rex dilecto & fideli suo Rogero [...] le Brabazun, salutem. Quia super quibusdam, &c. ut supra, usqu [...] ibi vobiscum & cum caeteris fidelibus nostris &c. & Magnatibus, &c. Teste Rege ut supra. p. 14. 15. eodem modo scribitur subscri­ptis. viz. 29. more Justices, Clerks, and others.

In Claus. 1. E. 2. d. 9. There is no Writ: but after 9 the Earles and Barons Writ and names, followes this entry, Eodem modo mandatum est subscriptis. viz. Williel­mo Iuge and 36. others, whereof 2. only were Clergy-men.

The next Writ is in Claus. 1. E. 2. dors. 8. Rex di­lecto 10 & fideli suo Rogero de Brabazon, salutem. Quia &c. ut supra (p. 15.) Vobis mandamus firmiter injungentes, quod dictis die & loco omnibus aliis praetermissis personaliter intersitis ibidem, Nobiscum & Cum caeteris de Consilio Nostro super dictis negotiis tractatur. vestrumque consilium impensur. & hoc nullatenus om [...]ttatis. T. R. apud Westm. x. Die Martii.

Consimiles literae diriguntur, to 35. others, Justi­ces,11 and Lay-men, and but to 2. Clerks.

In Claus. 2. E. 2. d. 14. 11. 20 Schedula, there are 4. Writs of the same forme with the last.With cum caeteris de Consi­lio nostro, twice reci [...]ed in 2. of them, and bu [...] ­once in the o­ [...]ther. The 1. to Roger de Brabazon, and 34. others, whereof one only was a Clerk. the 2. to him, and 16. others, whereof 7. [Page 348] were Clerks: the 3d. to him and 22. others, whereof 6. were Clerks; and two others Escheators, the one ultra Trentam, the other citra Trentam; The 4th. to him and 6. more, the one of them a Clerk.

12 The next Writ is in Claus. 4. E. 2. dors. 1. some­what different from the former.

Rex dilecto & fideli suo Willielmo de Bereford, salu­tem. Quia super diversis & arduis negotiis Nos & Statum Regni nostri specialiter tangentibus in instanti Parliamento nostro die Dominica prox. ante festum Sancti Laurentii prox. futur. fecimus summoneri, Vobiscum, & cum caeteris de Consilio nostro Colloquium habere volumus & tractatum, Vobis mandamus firmiter injungentes, quod omnibus aliis praeter­missis dictis die & loco personaliter intersitis, Nobiscum & cum caeteris de Consilio nostro super praemissis tractaturi, Ve­strumque consilium impensur.

In Claus. 6. E. 2. d. 31. There is such a Writ to 14 Roger le Brabazon, as the fore rehearsed; with Vobiscum & caeteris de Consilio nostro, &c. twice repeated▪ in it, and an eodem m [...]do mandatum est, to 42 besides; (most of them in the preceding Catalogues) sub [...]data [...]pud Windesore, 14. die Februar. when as the writs to the spiritual and temporal Lords bear date thence. 8. die Januar. Claus. Anno 7. E. 2. d. 27. There is a like writ issued to Roger le Brabazon and 29 others.

I find this memorable writ issued to Willielmo de 15 Bereford Chief Justice of the Common Bench, Claus. 9. E. 2. d. 20. varying from the first there issued to him and the rest of the Coun [...]ill.

Rex dilecto & fideli suo Willielmo de Bereford. De veniend [...] ad Regem. Quia Volumus Vobiscum una cum caeteris de Consilio no­stro, in Parliamento nostro quod apud Lincoln. in Quindena Sancti Hillarii prox. futur. secimus summo­ [...]eri super Negotiis Nos tangentibus habere Collo­quium & Tractatum; Vobis mandamus firmiter [...] injun­gentes▪ quod magis ardua negotia coram Vobis & sociis vestris, in instanti termino Sancti Hillarii, cum omni deliberatione qua poteritis expediatis, Ita quod sitis in dicto Parliamento nostro, viz. sexto die post Quindenam supradictam, ad tractandum ibidem no­biscum & cum caeteris de Consilio nostro, super nego­tiis antedictis. Onerantes dilectos & fideles nostros Lambertum de Trikingham, & Iohannem Bacun Justicia­rios nostros, & Socios vestros de Banco praedicto, quod residua negotia in Banco preaedicto expediant, cum festinatione qua poterunt, sucundum legem & consue­tudinem Regni nostri. Et hoc nullatenus omittatis. T. Rege apud Clipston. 27. die Decembris.

[Page 350] 16 I find this memorable Writ recorded in Claus. 7. E. 2. dors. 25.De interessen­do Parliamen­to. ‘Rex dilecto & fideli suo Iohanni de Insula, salutem. Cum pro diversis & arduis negotiis Nos & Statum Regni nostri tangentibus ordinavimus Parliamentum nostrum apud Westm. die Dominica prox. post festum Sancti Matthei Aposteli prox. futur. tenere, & Vobiscum & cum caeteris de Consilio no­stro super dictis negotiis habere Colloquium & Tractatum, per quod vobis mandavimus, quod dictis die & loco interlitis Nobiscum, & cum caeteris de Consilio nostro super dictis negotiis tractatur▪ Ac jam intelligimus, quod vos unà cum quibusdam aliis ad Assisas tam in Episcopatu Dunolm. quam in diversis Com. versus partes boriales capiend. certos dies sta­tim post dictam diem Dominicam praefixistis, unde plurimum miramur; praesertim cum per captiones Assisarum si durante dicto Parliamento nostro pro­cederent, negotia nostra in eodem tractanda possent non mediocriter perturbari. Vobis mandamus fir­miter injungentes, quod omnibus hujusmodi capti­onibus Assisarum, & omnibus aliis praetermissis, dicta die Dominica apud Westm. modis omnibus intersitis Nobiscum & cum caeteris de Consilio nostro super negotiis praedictis tractatur. Et hoc sicut indignatio­nem nostram, & grave dampnum vestrum vitare volueritis, nullo modo omittatis. T. Rege apud Windesore, sexto die Septembris. Per Breve de Privato Sigillo.’

Eodem modo scribitur subscriptis, viz.
  • Thomae de Fisheburn
  • Hugoni de Louthre
  • Ricardo de Berningham
  • Ade de Middleton
  • Iohanni de Dancastr. exceptis illis Verbis, tam in Episcopatu Dunolmens. quam.

From which writ is apparent; 1. That the Justices of Assises were usually summoned by writ to Parlia­ments, as Members of the Kings Counsil; as the words cum caeteris de Consilio nostro, thrice repeated in it [Page 351] and in other writs, demonstrate. 2ly. That their summons by writ to attend and counsell the King in Parliament; was a super sedeas to them to take Assises during the Parliament; and their proceeding to take Assises notwithstanding, inconsistent with their atten­dance in Parliament, yea a contempt and offence puni­shable by the King. 3ly. That theSee Cookes 4 Instit. p. 24. Assises and Suits of private persons ought to give place to publick affaires of the King and kingdome in Parliament, and to be deferred, when they may hinder or disturbe the af­faires of Parliament, or keep any Members or Assistants from their personal attendance in them, when sum­moned to them.

In the Clause Roll of 8. E. 2. dors. 35. There is 17 no Writ at all to the Kings Justices and Counsill; but in the Eodem modo, I find sundry of them here and there promiscuously inserted amongst the Barons names, and not after them, as usually in other Rolls, sc. Iohanni de Hotham, Waltero de Norwico, Iohanni de Foxle, Rogero la Brabazon, Gilberto de Roubery, Willielmo I [...]ge, Iohanni de Insula, Henr. le Scrop, Henr. Spigurnel, Io­hanni Benstede, Lamberto de Trikingham; alwayes listed amongst the Justices, and Kings Counsil in precedent Rolls, and in 7 E. 2. d. 27. the very next before this, and those succeeding it. In Cl. 8. E. 2. d. 29. the Counsil are coupled together with the Barons in the Eodem modo mandatum est, without any writ, with a space of distin­ction between them, all of them after the Lords, with­out intermixture with them, being in all 33.

In Cl. 9. E. 2. d. 22. They are named only in the eodem modo, with a small distance after the Lords, being in all 34. without any special writ entred. In Claus. 12. E. 2. d. 29. in Cedula, There is no special writ to any of the Counsil entred, but only a list of their names in the Eodem modo, being 24. in 18 number, 2. of them escheators, Vltra & citra Tren­tam; others of them Deacons, Archdeacons, Clergy­men and Iustices, with Magistro Iohan [...] de Walewayn The­saur. [Page 352] Regis. And likewise in Claus. 12. d. 11. they are listed in the same manner, being but 25. whereof two were the Escheators fore-named. And in Claus. 13 E. 2. dors. 13. they are listed in the same form being 25. and in Claus. 14 E. 2. d. 29. where they are 32.

19 Claus. 14. E. 2. d. 5. there issued a writ in the usual form, Willielmo de Bereford, and 37 others, whereof 2. were Escheators, and the Dean and a Canon of Yorke two others; Cl. 15 E. 3. d. 16. there is the like writ sent to him, and 33. more. Cl. 16. E 2. d. 26. the like writ to him and 22. others. And Cl. 19 E. 2. d. 7. the like writ to him and 22. besides; the Dean of Yorke being one of them, as in most of the precedent lists. Cl. 20 E. 2. d. 4. the writ issued Waltero de Norwico, and 22. more.

20 In Clause 1 E. 3. pars 2. d. 16. there is this writ issued, somewhat different from the precedent.

Rex dilecto et fideli suo Waltero de Norwico, salutem. Quia super magnis et arduis negotiis Nos et statum Regni nostri tangentibus, Vobiscum, et cum Praelatis, Magnatibus et Proceribus, ac cum caeteris de Consilio nostro apud Lincoln. in crastino Exaltationis Sanctae Crucis prox. futur. Colloquium habere ordinavimus et Tractatum. Vobis mandamus firmiter injungentes, quod omnibus aliis praetermissis dictis die et loco perso­naliter intersitis Nobiscum, si interesse possumus, seu interveniente impedimento, deputandis à Nobis, super dictis negotiis tractatur. vestrumque consilium impen sur. Et hoc nullatenus omittatis. Teste Rege apud Stanhope, 7, die Augusti.

Eodem modo mandatum est subscriptis, viz. 33. 0thers there named. And in the same Roll, dors. 3. there is the like writ to him, and 7. more only.

The writ Claus. 2 E. 3. dorse 31. thus varies from the former.

21 Rex dilecto et sideli suo Waltero de Norwico, salutem. Cum in Parliamento nuper apud Eborum convocato magna et ardua negotia proposita fuerunt, quae pro­pter [Page 353] absentiam quorundam Praelatorum, Magnatum, et Procerum Regni nostri tunc non poterunt termina­ri; super quibus et aliis diversis Negotiis de assensu Praelatorum, ac Magnatum et Procerum in eodem Par­liamento nostro tunc existentium, apud Northhampton, à die Paschae prox. futur. in tres Septimanas Parliamen­tum tenere, et Vobiscum, ac cum Praelatis, Magnatibus, et Proceribus Regni nostri, et eum caeteris de Con [...] silio nostro Colloquium et Deliberationem habere vo­lumus. Vobis mandamus firmiter injungentes, quod omnibus aliis praetermissis dictis die et loco personaliter intersitis, Nobiscum super dictis Negotiis tractatur: vestrumque Consilium impensur. Et hoc sicut Nos ac honorem nostrum, ac salvationem Regni nostri diligitis nullo modo omittatis. Teste Rege ut su­pra.

Eodem modo mandatum est, to x. more: the first of them Magistro Gilberto de Middleton Archid: North­hampton. Clause 23: of the same Roll, there is the like writ (different only in the recital, as to the Archbish­op, p. 28.) to x. Justices and Assistants, the same with the former; and so in dorse 15.

In Claus. 3 E. 3. d. 19. there is no writ entred to 22 the Justices and Counsil, but I finde them promiscu­ously inserted amongst the Lords in the Eodem modo mandatum est; where I meet with Magist: Rico: Erinm, (perchance Ermin) Magist: Antonio de Bek, Decano Ecclesiae beatae Mariae Lincolne, Galfro: le Scrop, Wil [...]: le Herle, Roberto de Malberthorp, Rico: de Willug [...]by, Iohi: de Traverse, Ade de Herewinton, Henry le Scrop, Roberto de Wodehouse, Archid: Richmond, Willo: le Dennie, Io [...]i: de Cante [...]rigg Rico: de Aldeburge, Magist. Gilberto de Middleton, Archid: Northampton, and Rob., Baynard; in­serted into the List of the Lords, being usually listed amongst the Justices and Counsil, in precendent and sub­sequent Rolls.

Clause 4 E. 3. d. 41. the writ runs in this most usual form, except in the recital.

[Page 354] 23 Rex dilecto et fideli fuo Roberto de Wodehouss Archid. Richmond. Thesaurar. suo, salutem. Quia pro magnis et arduis negotiis Nos et statum Regni nostri multi­pliciter contingentibus, Parliamentum nostrum apud Winton die Dominica prox. ante festum Sancti Gregorii Papae prox. futur. tenere; et Vobiscum, ac cum caeete­ris de Consilio nostro habere Colloquium disposui­mus et tractatum. Vobis mandamus firmiter injungen­tes, quod omnibus aliis praetermissis dictis die et loco personaliter intersitis Nobiscum, ac cum caeteris de Consilio nostro, super dictis negotiis tractatur. ves­trumque consilium impensur. Et hoc nullatenu [...] omit­tatis. T. ut supra, p. 30.

Eodem modo mandatum est subscriptis, viz. 8. more: Ibidem, dors. 13. the like Writ (except in the Pro­logue, Qualiter, &c. as p. 31.) issued to this Treasurer, and the same 8. persons more: But in dorso 23. there is no writ entred, but only the names of 5. of the Coun­sil, in the Eodem modo after the Lords, with a space for distinction.

24 Claus. 5 E. 3. dors. 25. the Writ issues; Dilect [...] & fideli suo Galfrido Le Scrop, Capitali Iusticiario suo, &c. (as p. 32.) in the recital, and then in the usual form, as the precedent writ in the later Clause: there being 12 more names in the Eodem modo: Dorse 7. the like writ issued to him and x. more: both of them entred after the Writs to the Sheriffs and Warden of the Cinque-ports, (usually registred before them, next after the writs to the Lords in all precedent Rolls, but fre­quently after them in most Rolls after this.) Clause 6 E. 3. d. 9. 19. & 36. there are three writs of this na­ture entred after those to the Sheriffs and Wardens of the Cinque-ports, issued to this Chief Justice Scrop, the first to 7, the second to 30, the third to 9 more, Justices and others. Claus. 7 E. 2. pars 2. dors. 3. the writ entred is to him, and 20. besides, after all the rest of the Writs but one, (as in many more ensuing Rolls) and so Claus, 8 E. 3. d. 18. to him and 22. more, [Page 355] whereof the Chancellor of the Exchequer is one, and the Kings Treasurer another.

Claus: 9 E. 3. d. 8. the Writ entred is to to the same Geoffry Le Scrop, and 15 others; and Dorse 28. to him and 22 more: But in Claus. 10. dors. 1, & 5. the Writs enrolled issued, Magistro Roberto de Stratford, Archid. Cantuar: and 14 more in both lists, whereof Ro­berto Parnings, Willo: Scot, Simoni Trewosa, Servienti­bus Regis, are 3. These are the two first Eodem modo mandatum est I meet with, wherein the Kings Serjeants at Law were summoned to Parliaments, who are last na­med in both these Lists.

Clause 11 E. 3. pars 1. d. 15. After the Lords, 5 are 25 registred, with Iustic: added to them, and 3 besides. In d. 8. there is only this entry, Eodem mode mandatum est dilecto Cler. suo Mro: Joh: de Ufford, mutatis mutandis after the Lords names: to which 9. of the Counsils & Justices names are conjoyned without distinction, before this entry. But in Clause 11 E. 3. part 2. dorse 40. the writ entred is directed Rob: de Stratford Electo Cicestr. different in the recital from the writs to the Temporal and Spiritual Lords in this Membrana, and agreeing with that in Claus. 11. pars 1. m, 8. to which it should refer: upon which Account I shall transcribe it.

Rex dilecto Clerico fuo Mro. Rob: de Stratford, Ele­cto 26 Cicestr. salutem. Quia super certis responsionibus solennibus Nunciis nostris per Nos ad partes Franciae ultimo pro quibusdā negotiis nostris ibidē expediendis transmissis datis, necnon pro quibusdā aliis negotiis ur­gentis [...]limis, Nos et statum Regni nostri, ac aliarum ter­rarum nostrarum intimè contingentibus, cum Praelatis, Magnatibus, et Proceribus regni nostri apud Westm. die Veneris prox. ante festum Sancti Michaelis prox. futur. ordinavimus habere Colloquium et Tractatum. Vobis mandamus firmiter injungentes, quod omnibus aliis praetermissis dictis die et loco personaliter intersitis Nobiseum, &c. ut supra. T. ut supra.

Eodem modo mandatum est, &c. to 10. more, most of them Justices, and the Chancellor of the Eschequer.

[Page 356] Here a Bishop elect is summoned as one of the Counsil; though usually summoned as a Spiritual Peer; and the Gardian of the Spiritualties of the Bi­shoprick of Chichester, sede vacante, summoned in the list amongst the Bishops, not this Bishop elect, who is summoned as a Bishop the next year and Parliament; Claus. 12 E. 3. d. 11. the Writ issued Galfrido Lescrop and 12. more, wherof the Kings Treasurer, and Chan­cellor of the Exchequer, were two.

27 Claus. 12 [...] E. 3. pars 2. d. 32. the writ entred, issued Iohanni de Ston [...]re, with the same recital as p. 41, 42. and then Quod omnibus aliis praetermissis intersitis cum dicto Custo [...]e, et cum caeteris de Consilio praedicto, super dictis negotiis tractatur. &c.

Eodem modo mandatum est to 13 others, whereof the Kings Treasurer, and Chancellor of the Exchequer are two▪ and the last Robto: de Sadyngton Capitali Ba­ [...]dni de Scaccario: the first I observe summoned by this Title. Claus. 13 E. 3. pars 2. d. 28. the writ entred is of the self-same form with the last: and to the same 13 persons, though not listed in the same order; and with this addition of Regis, after Staccario, to the Chief Baron. Claus. 13 E. 3. pars 2. d. 1. we have the same form of writ to Stonore and 13 more, the very same as in the two former lists: Claus. 14 E. 3. pars 1. d. 33. the like to him, those 13, and one more: and Pars 1. d. 23. to him and 14 more.

28 The Writ in Claus. 15. E. 3. pars 1. d. 37. issued in usual form, Dilcto et fideli suo Roberto de Parnings Thesaurar: suo, and 9. others. Claus. 17 E. 3. pars 1. d. 25. Roberto de Sadington, and only 6. more. Claus. 18 E. 3. pars 1. d. 14. Willo: Scot, and but 4. more, Cl. 20 E. 3. pars 2. d. 22. Willo: Scot, Quod personal [...]er intersi­tis Nabis [...]um si praesentes fuorimus ibidem▪ seu cum Custode dicti Regni nostri si abesse nos contigerit, & cum caeteris de Consilio nostro, super dictis negotiis, &c. and 14 others, the two last Roberto de Thorpe Servienti Regis, Henry de Grene, Servienti Regis. Claus. 21 E. 3. pars 2. [Page 357] d. 9. Willielmo de Thorpe (with the same recital, as to the Archbishop, Here, p. 52, 53. and the same Seire vos volu­mus, quod dictum Parliamentum non ad auxilia, &c. as in that writ:) Eodem modo mandatum est to 16 others, the 4 last the Kings Serjeants at Law: namely Roberto de Thorpe Servienti Regis, Henr: de Grene Servienti Re­gis, Willo: de Notton Servienti Regis, Thomae de Seton Servienti Regis. Claus. 22 E. 3. pars 1. d. 32. the writ issued Willo: de Thorpe, and 16 more, the 4 last the Kings Serjeants forenamed. This writ is registred next after the Lords: As is that in Clause 22 E. 3. pars 2. d. 7. issued to Iudge Thorpe, and 15 more, the 4. last the Kings Serjeants forenamed.

In Claus. 24 E. 3. pars 2. d. 3. the writ runs in this 29 form.

Rex dilecto et fideli suo Willo: de Shareshull, salut: Quia pro quibusdam arduis et urgen [...]ibus negotiis, Nos, & statum, et bonum regimen Regni nostri Angliae, et aliarū terram̄, et Do­miniorum nostrorum Parl: nostrum apud Westm. in Octabis Purificationis beatae Mariae Virginis prox. futur. tenere; & cum Praelatis, Magnatibus, et Proceribus dicti Regni nostri Angliae, & aliis de Consilio nostro, Colloquium habere volu­mus & tractatum. Vobis mandamus, &c. personaliter intersi­tis Nobiscum, & cum dictis Praelatis, Magnasibus et Pro­ceribus dicti regni, Super dictis negotiis tractatur. &c.

Eodem modo mandatum est to 12. more, the 4 last are the Kings forecited Serjeants at Law: Claus. 25 E. 3. pars 1. d. 5. the same form of writ as the last, issued to William Shareshull, and 13 others, whereof the last are the 4. Serjeants. Claus. 26 E. 3. d. 14. there are two writs registred one after another; the first to Share­shull, and 7 Justices more: The 2. Dilecto Clerico suo Magistro Iohanni de Leech, and 8 Masters more. So Claus. 27 E. 3. d. 12. there are two distinct writs to the same parties, and to 6 Justices, and 3. more Ma­sters.

In Claus. 28 E. 3. d. 26. There is only one Writ 30 to William de Shareshull, of the same form with that of [Page 358] 24 E. 3. and to 11 more, whereof 4 are the Kings Serjeants; namely, Thorp and Notton forecited, Willo: de Skipwith, Servienti Regis, Ioh: Mowbrey Servienti Regis, last named. The same form of writ to him, & 13 others is registred Claus. 29 E. 3. d. 8. wherein the Kings said Serjeants are last listed. Claus. 31 E. 3. d 21. there is the like writ to him and 14 others; where Notton, Skipwith, and Mowbrey are listed without the addition of Kings Serjeants: Claus. 31 E. 3, d. 2. the like writ is entred to him, and 15 others, without the addition of Serjeants to those so stiled in former lists.

31 The writ in Claus. 34 E. 3. d. 4. to William de Share­shull and 13 others, is only, & cum Praelatis et caeteris Magnatibus et Proceribus dicti Regni Colloquium habere, &c. Dictis die et loco personaliter intersitis Nobiscum, et cum dictis Praelatis, Magn [...]tibus et Proceribus dicti Regni, &c. with­out the clause, & caeteris de Consilio nostro, in either place, or any other part of the writ. So is the writ Claus. 36 E. 3. d. 16. Henr: Grene, and 8 others: and Claus: 37 E. 3. d. 22. to him and 8. more; and Claus: 38 E. 3. d. 3. to him, and but 5 besides: and Claus: 39 E. 3. d. 2. Iohi: Knyvet, and 13 more, wherof Mro: Thomae Young Offic: Cur: Cancell. is one [...] the first I find so stiled in the Rolls: The like writ Iohanni Knyvet, is in Claus: 42 E. 3. d. 22. and 8 others: and Claus: 43 E. 3. d. 24. [...] Claus: 44 E. 3. d. 1. the same in forme, persons, number, without any Clause cum caeteris de Con­silio nostro, in them.

There is this form of writ in Claus: 46 E. 3. d. 11. different from the precedent.

32 Rex dilecto et fideli suo Iohi: de Cavendish, Capita­li Justiciario suo, salutem. Qui [...] pro quibusdam ar­duis, &c. (ut supra, p. 67:) teneatnr, et cum Praelatis, Magnatibus et Proceribus Regni nostri Angliae trac­tatus et Colloquium habeantur.

35 The writ in Claus: 1 H: 4: d. 37. is directed Waltero Clopton Capitali Iustic: suo, and 12 others: and still to the Chief Justice for the time being throughout his reign; all or most of the rest of the Assistants being Ju­stices, whose names you may find in the ensning Table.

36 The writ in Claus: 1 H: 5: dors: 9. issued Willielmo Hankeford Capitali Iustic: suo, &c. But that in dors: 37: Willielmo Gascoyne, Capitali Iusticiario suo, and 11 others, most, or all Justices, and so throughout his reign.

37 In Henry the 6. his reign, Claus. 1 H. 6. dors. 22. the writ is directed Willo: Hankeford Capitali Iustic: suo, and 10 more Justices; and so in other years to the Chief Justice for the time being, and other Justices.

38 In Cl. 1 E: 4. d. 34. the writ issued Iohi: Markham and 12 Justices and Lawyers besides; and so through­out his reign to the Chief Justice and Justices for the time being, and few else besides them.

39 Of later times both the Chief Justices, Chief Baron, and all the Kings Justices, Barons of the Eschequer, [Page 361] Serjeants at Law, the Mr: of the Rolls, & some Masters of the Chancery, have been usually summoned as Assi­stants, to counsell and advise both the King and Lords in all matters of Law and difficulty, wherein their ad­vice is necessary, as also to carry messages, Bills and Or­ders from the Lords to the Commons House, and re­turn answers from them upon such occasions, when they please to return answers by them, and not by Mes­sengers of their own.

Usefull Observations upon the precedent Writs to, and concerning the Kings Counsil summo­ned to Parliaments and Parliamentary Coun­cils.

IT is observable, 1. That in many antient Rolls and Lists of Summons to Parliaments and Parliamenta­ry 1 Councils, there is no mention of any writs or sum­mons at all to any of the Kings Counsil, Justices, Offi­cers, or others, as there is in those forecited; as name­ly in the summons in Claus: 49 H. 3. d: 11. 23 E: 1. d. 2, 3, 4. 24 E. 1. d. 7. 25 E. 1. d. 6. 27 E. 1. d. 9. 16. 28 E. 1. d. 16, 17. 30 E. 1. d. 9. 32 E. 1. d. 2. Cl. 33 E. 1. d. 8. Cl. 35 E. 1. d. 13. Cl. 3 E. 2. d. 16, 17. 7 E. 2. d. 16. 9 E. 2. d. 22, 18 E. 2. d. 5. 21, 34. 20 E. 2. d. 4. Cl. 5 E 3. pars 2. d. 7. 1 [...] E. 3. p. 1. d. 15. 16 E. 3. pars 1. d. 39. 16 E. 3. pars 2. d, 13. 29 E 3. d. 7. 32 E. 3. d. 14. 33 E. 3 d. 10. 34 E. 3. d. 35. & 49 E. 3. d. 4. to omit others: Which Parliaments it seemes were held without any of the Kings Counsil, or Justices summoned to them; or else the Clerks through neg­ligence or slothfullness omitted the entries of their Writs or names in all these Rolls of Summons: Therefore they are no essential Members of the Parlia­ments or Great Councils of England, which may be held without them, being none of the 3. Estates.

[Page 362] 2 2ly, That there is no mention at all made of them in the usual ordinary writs to the Spiritual or Temporal Lords, Sheriffs, and Wardens of Cinque­ports; in these most material clauses, Parliamentum nostrum tenere, & Vo [...]iscum ac [...]um Praelatis, Magna­tibus & Proceribus dicti regni nostri Angliae Colloquium ha [...] bere volumus & tractatum: Or the personaliter inters [...]is Nobiscum, ac cum dictis Praelatis, Magnatibus et Proceri­bus dicti Regni super dictis Negotiis tractaturi, vestrumque consilium impensuri, which have never this Clause, & cum [...]aeteris de Consilio nostro, inserted into them: Therefore they are no essentiall constitutive Members of our Par­liaments or Great Councils, butCookes 4 In­s [...]it. p. 4. Assistants only to the King and Lords, as there is occasion.

3 3ly, That those of the Kings Counsil summoned to Parliaments and Great Councils by the precedent writs, were sometimes very many in number, somtimes very few, and alwaies more or less, at the Kings meer plea­sure. In the first writ and list of summons extant, they were no less thanSec [...] ▪ 341, 342. 40, in some others above 30, in most under 20, usually in later times but 10, 11, 12, 13, or 14, sometimes but 4, 5, 6, or 7; once or twice but one. Sometimes most of them were Deans, Archdeacons, and other Clerks or Clergymen who had alwaies▪ the Title MAGISTRO, praefixed to their names both in the writs and lists of their names; other times the ma­jor number were Justices, Laymen, and but two or three Clerks: In later times the Clergymen, were wholly omitted, or very rarely inserted, and that when they were Treasurers, or Temporal Officers to the King: An unanswerable apparent Argument and demonstra­on, that they were no essential Members of our Par­liaments or Great Councills, since the King might thus summon more or fewer of them, or which of them he thought fittest, and omit all or any, or as many of them as he would at his pleasure out of the summons.

4 4ly. That in all lists of Summons of this kinde, the [Page 363] Kings Chief Justices, and other Justices of his Courts at Westm: and Chief Baron, were constantly summo­ned in more or less numbers, and the Kings Serjeants very frequently: yea the writs of Summons entred in the Rolls, were, for the most part, issued to the Kings Chief Justice; because there was most use of the Justi­ces and learned Lawyers advice and counsel in Parlia­ments in all matters of Law there debated, in [...]writs of Error there pending, in the penning of New, and al­tering, explaining, or repealing of former Statutes; in Pleas of the Crown, and other cases criminal or civil heard and determined in Parliaments, than there was of inferiour Clergymen of the Counsil; the Archbi­shops, Bishops, Abbots, Priors and Spiritual Lords there present as Members, being sufficiently able to advise the King and Temporal Lords in all Ecclesi­astical matters there debated or treated of; especially when assisted with the Clerks of the Convocation usu­ally summoned, without any Clergymen of the Kings Counsil.

5ly, That by the King and his Counsil, Vs and Our 5 Counsil, See my Ta­ble to An Ex­act Abridge­ment, Title Councils and Counsellors. Vs and the rest of our Counsil, aliis ac caeteris de Con­silio nostro, in the precedent and other writs in the Clause Rols, the Rolls of Parliament, the afetrcited Statutes, and other Acts of Parliament; the Kings Justices and others summoned to Parliaments and Great Councils as his Counsil, not as Spiritual or Temporal Lords; are properly meant and intended, not the Lords of the Kings Privy or continual Council, nor yet the Lords in Parliament, or Parliament it self; the Parliament in the writs of Summons to the Bishops, in the Clause of Praemunientes Decanum, Capitulum, Archidiaconos, to­tumque Clerum vestrae Dioc: &c. and in the writs to the Sheriffs & Wardens of the Cinqueports, being usually stiled, Commune Consilium Regni nostri, as the Clause, Ad consentiendum hiis quae tunc ihidem de Commu­ni Consilio regni nostri contigerit ordinari: inser­ted into the last part of these Writs, informes us: [Page 364] And so is it stiled in the writ prescribed by the Statute, De non ponendis in Assis [...]s, Anno 21 E. 1. & in other Writs grounded upon Acts of Parliament in the Register of Writs and Natura Brevium: Or the Kings Common or General Council, as in the Stat: of Vouchers 18 E. 1. in the Statutes of Wast, & de Defensione Iuris, An: 20 E: 1. and other printed Acts; and long before this, in Pat. 1 Joh: R [...]: m. 3 n. 3. Pat. 1 H: 3. m. 3. Pat. 3 H, 3. ps. 2. m. 6. and sundry other writs and Patents in his reign

6ly, That although Sir4 Instit. p. 4. Edward Cooke and others make this the chief or sole distinguishing Cla [...]se, or proprium quarto modo, between the writs of Summons to the Lords and Members of the Lords House, and Assist­ants; that the one are always summoned, quod in propria persona intersitis Nobiscum, ac cum dictis, or caeteris Praela­tis, Magnatibus, et Proceribus dicti regni nostri, super dictis negotiis tractaturi, vestrumque consilium impensuri: The o­thers only summoned; quod personaliter intersitis Nobis­cnm, et cum caeteris de Consilio nostro, super dictis ne­gotiis tractaturi, vestrumque consilium impensuri; Yet this is not a general truth: For 1. in sundry forecited writs to the Kings Counsil, Justices, and Assistants; this clause, Et cum caeteris de Consilio nostro, &c. is totally o­mitted, though it be in most of them: and intersitis No­biscum only, or, intersitis Nobiscum, et cum See p: 357: dictis Praelatis, Magnatibus, et Proceribus super dictis negotiis tractaturi vestrumque consilium impensuri; (without any & cum cae­teris de Consilio nostro,) inserted in lieu thereof; yet with this distinction, (not formerly observed by any to my knowledge) that in the writs to the Spiritual and Temporal Lords, the words alwayes run thus in the first Clause of the writs; Vobiscum, ac cum CAETERIS Praelatis, Magnatibus & Proceribus dicti Regni nostri, to a Spiritual Lord: and, Vobiscum, & cum Praelatis, ac CAE­TERIS Magnatibus et Proceribus, &c: to a Temporal Lord: and thus in the mandatory part; dictis die et l [...] ­co personaliter intersitis Nobiscum, ac cum CAETERIS Prae­latis, Magnatibus & Proceribus, if to a Prelate: and if [Page 365] to a Temporal Lord, Nobiscum, ac cum Praelatis, et CAE­TERIS Magnatibus et Proceribus Praedictis super dictis ne­gotiis tractaturi, &c. the word Caeteris is alwaies omit­ted in the writs to the Justices, and other Assistants of the Counsil in both these clauses; because they are no Spiritual nor Temporal Lords of Parliament, nor sum­moned as such; and, cum Praelatis, Magnatibus & Proce­ribus, without caeteris, being only used in their writs; both where & cum caeteris de Consilio nostro is inserted in­to their writs after the word Proceribus, or elsewhere; and where it is totally omitted: So that the omission of the word caeteris in this place and manner in all writs to the Justices and other Assistants, and the inserting it as aforesaid, into the writs of the Spiritual and Tem­poral Lords, is the principal distinguishing word that puts a difference between them, not this Clause alone, Nobiscum, & cum aliis de Consilio nostro, twice inserted into the writs of Prorogation and Resummons both to the Temporal and Spiritual Lords, as well as to the Justi­ces and Assistants, Claus: 33 E. 1. d. 9, 10. which I shall recite at large in its due Section.

7ly, That in the writs of Summons to the Kings 7 Counsil, they are never licensed to appear by Proxies, or Attorneys, as the Spiritual and Temporal Lords sometimes are; but in proper person alone.

8ly, That such of them who were Deans, Archdea­cons,8 or Clergymen have alwaies the Title MAGI­TRO prefixed to their names both in the writs and lists of summons, by which they are distinguished from the Laymen mentioned in those writs and lists. And that one Bishop elect summoned amongst the Bish­ops to Parliament, was yet summoned as one of the Kings Counsil by an other writ. What ever else is worthy Observation touching these writs, or lists of persons summoned, I have noted already in the prece­dent recitals of them.

9ly, That though the Kings Justices and others of 9 his Counsil summoned to our Parliaments, were no real [Page 366] essential Members of them, but rather Assistants to the King and Lords, yet they had a very great hand, pow­er, authority, not only in making Ordinances, Procla­mations, desciding all weighty controversies, regulating most publike abuses, and punishing all Exorbitant Offences out of Parliament in the Star-chamber and elsewhere, Coram Rege et CONSILIO SVO, as is evi­dent by 19 E. 3.

1. By sundry Petitions upon several complaints and occasions presented and directed to the King and HIS COUNSELL,See my Ta­ble to the Ex­act Abridge­ment of the Records of the Tower, Title Coun­ [...]ell. OR SAGE, OR GOOD COUN­SEL in sundry of our antient Parliaments, entred in the Clause and Parliament rolls, more especially in Claus. [Page 367] Anno 1. E. 3. pars 1. & 2. Where multitudes of Petiti­ons are thus directed; A nostre Sign [...]ur. le Roy, et ASON COVNCILL, Au BON COVNCIEL nostre Signior le Roy, &c. Which Petitions were usually answered and determined, sometimes By the KING and His COVN­SELL, joyntly, other times by His COVNSEL alone; and sometimes by the King with the assent or advice of his COVNSEL, as these entries; Coram Rege & CON­SILIO concessum est & emendatum: per agard de toute LE COVNSELL: soit le COVNCIEL certifie; Coram CON­SILIO NOSTRO in praesenti Parliament [...] venire faciatis scriptum praedictum; ad faciend. inde ulterius, quod per idem CONSILIVM NOSTRVM ibidem CONTIGERIT ORDINARI▪ Videtur CONSILIO: Il semble AV COVN­CIEL que ce est bone affaire▪ Veniat Inquisitio CORAM CON­SILIO. Place at Dom. Regi & CONSILIO SVO ordinare: with the like, most frequently occurring in these Petiti­ons, and the answers to the proceedings and resolu­tions upon them, abundantly evidence.

2. By this subscription or addition to many Writs, Patents, Charters, in the Clause, Patent, Charter, and Parliament Rolls, per ipsum Regem & Consilium in Parliamento, being all made, issued, granted, approved, entred by Order of the King and those of His COUN­SIL in Parliament.

3. By the Placita coram ipso DOMINO REGE ET EJUS CONSILIO AD PARLIAMENTA SUA, &. AD PARLIAMENTUM SUUM, &c. recor­ded in the Parchment Book of Pleas in the Tower of London.. [...] Wherein, the Proceedings, and the Judgments on them, were given sometimes by the Kings COVNSELL alone; sometimes by the King and his COUNSELL, and other times by the King, with the advice of the Arch­bishops, Bishops, Abbots, Barons, and others, or the rest of His COUNSELL; and sometimes Fines and Recognizances were acknow­ledged before the COUNSELL in Parliament. [Page 368] To instance in some particulars. In the Placita coram ip­so Domino Rege et ejus Consilio, ad Parliamenta sua post festum Sancti Hillarii, et etiam post Pascha, Anno 18 E. 1. Willielmus de Wasthull quaeritur Domino Regi et ejus Consilio, per quandam petitionem, against a deceit and covin in levying a fine: Iohannes Comes de Dewe venit coram Rege et ejus Consilio, ad Parliamentum suum post Pascha, &c. & petiit, &c.

Placita coram ipso Domino Re­ge et ejus Consilia apud Cantuar. &c. Anno 21 E. 1. The Judgements and Orders upon such Petitions and complaints, were somtimes given by the Counsil alone. As in the case of Theobaldus de Verdun coram ipso Rege et ejus Consilio apud Bergaveny, de diversis Transgressi­onibus et inobedientiis factis Domino Regi, arenatus; and found guilty of them by Inquisition, returned and read C [...]ram ipso Domino Rege et ejus Consilio, in the Parliament of 20 E. 1. praedictus Theobaldus de Verdun per considerationem et Iudicium totius Consilii committe­batur Goalae, et exhaeredatus fuit de tota libertate sua Regali, quam habuit in terris suis de Ewyas Lacy, pro so et hoeredi­bus suis imperpetuum; But mostly by the King & Counsil: Witness these Clauses in Plac. Parl. Anno 18 E. 1. Lo­quela inter Johannem de Sancto Johanne, & Williel­mum de Valentia ponitur in respectum usque in Octabis San­cti Johannis Baptistae, eo quod per Consilium Domini Regis et Iusticiarios suos judicium certum in loquela illa non­dum est provisum, &c.

Juliani Southampton, upon full hearing and examining of the cause, Uide­tur Domino Kegi et ejus Consilio, quod Iusticiarii se­cundum quod in recordo suo praedicto continetur, debito modo & secunduin consuetudinem Regni ad captionem praedictae In­quisitionis processerunt, &c. In the case of the Earl of [Page 370] Ewe in Normandy petitioning for the restitution of the Castles of Hastings and Tikehall belonging to his Gran­mother Alicia, whose heir he was, and by her delivered into the Custody and protection of King Henry the III. Et quia Domino Regi et ejus Consilio manifestè constat, quod praedicto Comi [...]i alias responsum fuit ad consimilem Peti­tionem, &c. Nec videtur Domino Regi aut ejus Con­silio, quod ratione aliquarum literarum praedictarum praedi­cto Comiti aliud responsum dare debeat, &c. In the Parlia­ment of [...]0 E. 1. The case of the Prior of Gis­burn, Coram Rege et ejus Consilio apud Norham. Anno 19 E. 1. where per ipsum Regem & CONSI­LIVM suum ordinatum et concordatum est, that a Re­cognisance of 600 marks acknowledged in Chancery by the Prior should be cancelled. In the case of the differences between the Citizens of London and Mer­chants of Gascoigne, both cited Coram ipso Domino Rege & CONSILIO SVO. Anno 20 E. 1. Vt auditis coram ipso Domino Rege et CONSILIO SUO allegationibus et disputationibus, rationibusque quibuscunque per praedictas partes porrectis, fieret in hac parte quod Dominus Rex de Con­silio decreverit, &c. et contentio praedicta finem debitum per ipsum Dominum Regem et CONSILIUM SUUM sortietur; who then made an Order and peace between them, and likewise in the Parl. of 21 E. 1. In the case between Iohn Gifford, and Robert Tybetot touching the Commot of Hysk ynny, the King at Berwick Anno 21 E. 1. Cartam praedictam coram se & CONSILIO suo legi fecit, et ad ambiguitatem quorundam verborum in prae­dicta Garta contentorum de caetero auferendam, eadem ver­ba declaravit in hun [...] modum. &c. An. 21 E. 1. The Bi­shop of Durham (having his liberties unjustly seised by the award of the Justices in Eyr,) Supplicavit ipsi Do­mino Regi et CONSILIO SUO instanter, quod praedicta processus et Recordum coram eis recitarentur et exa­minarentur, et errores in eisdem contenti pro se & Ec­clesia sua Dunolm. prout justum fuerit, & secundum legem et consuetudinem Regni emendarentur. Which [Page 371] being accordingly done, and the cause fully heard and debated before them; consideratum est per ipsum Regem & Consilium, quod judicium praedictum revo­cetur, & adnulletur, et quod omnes libertates praedicti Episcopi, Ecclestae suae & hominum suorum, quae per considerationem Justiciariorum [...]tinerantium, in ma­num Domini Regis captae fuerunt, eidem Episco­po, Eccles [...]ae & hominibus suis plenarie & integre re­stituentur.

I shall instance only in three more memorable cases at large.

The 1. is in the Placita coram ipso Rege & Consilio suo, ad Parliamentum suum post Pascha apud London. in Ma­nerio Archiepiscopi Eborum; Anno regni Regis Ed­wardi 1. 21.

The second is the case of the Prior of Bridlington, before the King and his Counsil the same Parliament. Prior de Bridelington allocutus coram ipso Domino Rege et consilio suo de hoc, quod cum quidam Bona­my nuper Iudeus Eborum: mutuasset eidem Priori Tres­centa Lìbras Sterlingorum, solvendas eidem Iudeo ad Gulas Augusti, Anno regni Regis nunc vicessimo, Et idem Iudeus ante terminum praedictum; Per commune Exilium Iudeorum de regno isto exularet, per quod praedictum debitum simul cum omnibus aliis bonis quae fuerant ejusdem Iudei in Anglia, et quae in regno re­manserunt post eorum Exilium, in quorumcunque manus fuerunt ipsius Domini Regis Catalla fuerunt, et ipsi Domino Regi reddi debuissent; Praedictus Prior [Page 373] debitum praedictum quod fuit &c. esse Catall. Dom. Regis, ad terminum statutum ipso Domino Regi non solvit, nec ipsum Dominum Regem aut suos inde pre­munit; Immo totaliter concelavit, detinuit▪ & adhuc detinet, in lesionem fidei sui qua Domino Regi tene­tur, & ad grave dampnum ipsius Domini Regis, &c. Et Prior bene cognoscit, quod Praedecessor suus imme­diatus pecuniam praedictam de praedicto Iudeo mutua­vit termino praedicto solvendam, & quod ipse ratione mutui illius, adhuc ad solutionem pecuniae illius tene­tur. Set dicit; quod Iohannes Archiepiscopus Eborum qui nuncest, in tertia septimana Quadragesima proxi­mò praeterito ad domum suam de Bridelington, prout ad officium suum pertinet, visitavit, & inter caetera in visitatione sua ibidem inventa, quaesivit de debitis do­mus in quibus idem Prior, & quibus, & pro quo teneba­tur? ita quod tunc inuenit, quod domus praedicta praedicto Iudeo indebitabatur in pecunia praedicta; et statim in Capitulo ipso Priori injunxit, quod pecu­niam illam solveret ejusdem valecto tunc ibidem prae­senti ad festum Nativitatis Sanctae Mariae proximum, quem valectū idem Archiepiscopus dicebat esse Attor­natum praedicti Iudaei. Et ipse Prior prout ratione obe­dientiae suae tenetur; praecepto praefati Archiepiscopi obedivit, & eandem pecuniam tunc solvere promisit. Et quia idem Prior cognoscit, quod praedicta pecunia praedicto Iudeo debebatur, nec ei solvebatur. ante exili­um Iudeorum, & quicquid remansit de eorum debitis & catallis in Regno post eorum exilium, Domini Re­gis fuit. Consideratum est, quod Dominus Rex recu­peret praedictam pecuniam, ut Catalla sua versus prae­dictum Priorem. Et dictum est praedicto Priori, quod non exeat è villa, priusquam Domino Regi, de prae­dicta pecunia satisfecerit. Et quia praedictus Archie­piscopus praedicto Priori injunxit; quod catalla Do­mini Regis praedicto vallecto solveret, ad dampnum Domini Regis, & similiter quia Dominus Rex intel­lexit, quod Archiepiscopus praedictus quoddam scrip­tum [Page 374] obligatorium, per quod praefatus Prior praedicto Iudaeo tenebatur in debito praedicto, contra fidem Domino Regi debitam, & Sacramentum fidelitatis suae à praedicto Iud [...]o emit aut perquisivit, ad elongandum Dominum Regem de Catallis suis praedictis, & ibi appropriando malitiosè: Praeceptum est Vicecomiti Eborum, quod ve­nire faciat praedictum Archiepiscopum coram Domino Rege, à die Sancti Michaelis, in Quindecim dies, ubi­cunque, &c. ad respondendum Domino Regi de receptione praedicta. Et similiter quod praedictum scriptum, ut dicitur, remanet in custodia Abbatis Sanctae Mariae Eborum [...] aut Prioris Sancti Andre [...] Eborum, ideo praeceptum est Vicecomiti praedicto, quod venire faciat eosdem Abbatem & Priorem, ad terminum praedictum, ad respondendum de eodem scripto.

Hereupon the Sheriff summoned the Archbishop; Ad respondendum Domino Regi de hoc, quod nunc Prior de Bridelington et ejusdem loci conventus per scriptum suum obligatorium tenebatur cuidam Bon­amy quondam Iudeo Eborum, in Trescentis libris ster­lingorum certis terminis solvendorum: et idem Iudeus Per Commune Exilium Iudeorum de Regno isto, ante solutionem praedictae pecuniae sibi factā Exuleret; praedictus Archiepiscopus de Curia Romana rediens apud Paris cum praedicto Iudaeo conventionem & mer­catum faciens, praedictum debitum, quod fuit & est Catalla Domini Regis ab eo emit, & post in visitatione sua ad Prioratum praedictum facta, eidem Priori et Con­ventui per obedient [...]am injungit, quod pecuniam prae­dictam cuidam Valecto ipsius Archiepiscopi, aut nun­cio praefati Iudaei, certo termino solverent; contra fide­litatem in qua Domino Regi tenentur, & in alienationem pecuniae Domini Regis▪ ad dampnum Domini Regis mille librarum &c. Et praedictus Archiepiscopus modo venit, & super hoc facto praedicto CORAM DOMINO REGE ET CONSILIO SUO arenatus, expresse dicit; Quod nunquam cum praedicto Iudaeo aliquam [Page 375] conventionem fecit, seu mercatum de pecunia praedi­dicta sibi adquirenda; set revera dicit, quod in visita­tione sua ad domum praedictam invenit, et per Prio­ [...]em et Conventum ejusdem domus sibi ostensus fuit, quod domus illa indebitabatur praedicto Iudeo de prae­ [...]icta pecunia. Et idem ad salvationem animarum sua­ [...]um prout tenebatur, eidem Priori et Conventui dixit, quod pecuniam illam salva conscientia retinere non possent, et quod sic facerent quod animas suas salva­rent: set quod nunquam eis injunxit, quod pecuniam illam sibi aut al [...]i nomine praedicti Iudei solverent, pa­ratus est se acquietare, si placuerit DOMINO REGIET EJUS CONSILIO. Et Dominus Rex super hoc, de gratia sua speciali, et ad instantium MAGNATUM DE CONSILIO SUO, licet per patriam de jure in­quirere posset veritatem praemissorum, concessit praedi­cto Archiepiscopo, quod in fide in qua ei tenetur, veri­tatem praemissorum fatetur et cognosca [...]. Et idem Archiepiscopus in fide, &c. fatetur et dicit, quod in veniendo de Curia Romana apud Paris: bene audivit & intellexit per praedictum Iudeum quod praedicta pecunia ei debebatur, et quod idem Iudeus eum rogavit, ut ei pro Deo esset in auxilium ad praedictam pecuniam suam [...]ecuperandam. Et postea, ut praedictum est, in visita­tione sua ad domum praedictam hoc idem invenit per confessionem praedictorum Prioris et Conventus; et eis dixit, quod [...]ic facerent, quod animas suas salvarent. Et quia idem Archiepiscopus bene cognoscit, quod POST EXILIUM DICTI JUDAE [...], & ALIORUM JUDAEORUM DE REGNO ISTO, à praedicto Iu­deo intellexit, quod pecunia praedicta [...]ibi in regno isto debebatur, et POST EORUM EXILIUM, omnia quae sua fuerunt, et in regno isto remanserunt, tam de­bita quam alia bona quaecunque ipsi Domino Regi re­manserunt, et Catalla sua fuerunt, et super hoc incon­tinenti POST EORUM EXILIUM solempnis Pro­clamatio siebat per totum regnum, et quod omnes qui debita aliqua alicui Iudeo debebant, aut de eorum debi­ [...]is [Page 376] tis, bonis & catallis aliquid sciebant Domino Regi, aut alicui de Consilio suo scire facerent, de qua quidem Proclamatione nullus dedicere potest, quin scivit, a [...] scivisse debuit. Et idem Archiepiscopus de debito prae­dicto scivit, prout fatetur, tam per Iudeum, quam per Priorem & Conventum, nec de hoc Domino Regi, aut alieui de suìs constare fecit; Immo debitum illud concelando, et à Domino Rege alienando contra fidem qua Regi tene [...]ur, injunxit praefato Priori et Conventui, quod animas suus-salvarent, quod tantum valuit, quan­tum si dixisset; quod Iudeo satisfacerent, concordatum est, quod praedictus Archiepiscopus remaneat in mi­sericordia Domini Regis, pro concelamento & trans­gressione praedicto, &c. et idem Dominus Rex sibi ipsi reservat Tax ationem illius misericordiae. From these 2. Records I shall observe, That the General Banish­ment of the Iewes out of England, and the escheat and forfeiture of their Lands, Goods, and Debts to the King, by this their generall exile, is no lesse then 10. severall times precisely mentioned in these 2 Records, and the very groundwork of them; besides some hun­dreds of other Records and Authors cited by me in the 1. and 2. Part of my Demurrer to the Iewes long discontinued Remitter into England: And therefore I must admire2. Institutes p. 106. 707. 568. Sir Edward Cooks peremptory denyal of it in print, in his Commentary on the Statute de Iudaismo, in the very date whereof he is mistaken, as well as in most of his Comments thereupon, as I have largely proved in my Demurrer. 2. That it is a breach of the Oath of Fealty and Allegiance in any Subject, and an offence for which he is punishable, to conceal from, or defraud the King of any of his just debts and rights, especially when engaged by Procla­mation to discover them. 3ly. That the King and his Counsell gave judgment in these causes; and that in the later of them the King reserves the taxing of the Amerciament of the Archbishop for an offence against him, wholly to himself.

[Page 377] The 3. case is that of Iohn Sa [...]veyn, his wife and her sister, in the Placita coram ipso Domino Rege apud West­monasterium in Parliamento suo in Octabis Nativitatis be­atae Mariae, Anno regni Regis Edwardi filii Regis Hen­rici 33. which is very memorable, and thus recor­ded.

Iohannes Salveyn, Margareta uxor ejus, Isabello soro [...] ejusdem Margaretae, filiae & haeredes Roberti de Ros de Werk, per Petitionem suam in forma sequenti osten­dunt Domino Regi, et petunt, quod cum Dominus Rex de gratia sua speciali concessit et ordinavit, Quod omnes gentes de regno Seotiae, cujuscunque fuerint, et quae ad pacem suam venerint, exceptis aliquibus per­sonis in eademSee this Or­dinance inrol­led at large, Claus.

Ordinatione nominatis, admittantur secundum conditiones subsequentes; videlicet, quod salva sit eis vita et membra, et quod quieti sint de im­prisonamento, et quod non exhaeredantur. Ita quod de eorum exemptione et emendis de Transgressionibus, qnas ipsi Domino Regi solummodo fecerint, et de esta­bilamento terrae Scotiae staret ordinationi suae, sicut plenius continetur in Ordinatione supradicta. Et in [...] super Dominus Rex concessit omnibus qui secuti fuerint seisinam de terris quas ipsi et eorum Antecessores tenuerunt in principio Guerrae In quorum manus terr [...] illae devenissent; quod ipsi Iohannes, Margareta, & Isa­bella, uti possent et gaudere concessione et Ordinatione praedictis, quoad terras quae dictus Robertus tenuit in Anglia & Scotia in principio guerrae. Ita quod non sin [...] exhaeredati. Et Willielmus de Ros de Hamlake, qui tenet praedictum Manerium de Werk, ex dono et concessione Domini Regis, per praemunitionem sibi factam venit [...], et tam pro seipso tanquam tenenti dictum Manerium, quā pro Domino Rege quo ad alias terras et tenementa quae fuerunt dicti Roberti, tam in regno Angliae quam in terra Sco [...]iae, dicit; Quod praedicti petentes nichil in eisdem per medium praedicti Roberti clamare possunt ut ipsius haeredes, nec ad illa petenda, seu aliquam partem earundem audiri debent, prout petunt. Dicit enim, [Page 378] quod ipsi petunt tenementa praedicta ut haeredes praedi­cti Roberti, et virtute c [...]jusd [...]m Ordination [...]s, quam Do­m [...]nus Rex nuper fecitet concessit illis hominibus de terra Scotiae, qui in ultima guerra in eadem terra ad pa­cem suam venerunt et admissi suerunt; et per illa ver­ [...]a videlizet, [quod non [...]x [...]aeredentur,] Et etiam pe­tunt, quod ipsi uti possunt, et gaudere concessione et Ordinatione praedictis quo ad terras quas dictus Rober­tus tenuit in Anglia & in Scotia in principio guerrae, Ita quod non sint exhaeredati, prout in sua petitione con­tinetur, quod nullo modo admitti debent. Quia dicit, quod praedictus Robertus diù ante principium istius gueriae, ad quod tempus Ordinationi praedicta reddito terrarum et concessio se extendunt, Inimicus Domini Regis devenit mani [...]estus, parti Scotorum Contra Homa­gium et Filelitatem suam felonice et traditiose ad­h [...]rendo, et sic omnes terras et tenementa sua ubicun (que) infra Dominium et potestatem Domini Regis existen­tia, simul cum aliis bonis suis quibuscunque totaliter forisfecit; nec unquam postea in vita sua ad pacem Domini Regis rediit, set in inimicitia sua ut Felo et Traditor obiit. Occasione cujus Inimicitiae sic commissae Dominus Rex terras illas et tenementa statim in manū suam seisivit; et postea ipsum Manerium de Werk ipsi Willielmo dedit. Et hoc paratus est verisicare, tam p [...]o Domino Rege quam pro seipso, si petentes praedicti in petitione sua praedicta audiri debent, &c. Et quia habito super praemissis diligenti tractatu per ipsum Dominum Regem et totum Consil [...]um, expressè re­cordatum est, quod dictus Robertus de Ros, per multa tempora ante principium istius ultimae guerrae contra Homagium, Fidelitatem et Ligeantiam suam, de ipso Domino Rege traditiosè et felonicè se elongavit, et Inimicus ipsius Domini Regis manifestè devenit parti Scotorum adhaerendo tunc Inimicorum et Rebel­lionum Domini Regis existentium, nec unquam postea in vita sua ad pacem Domini Regis rediit, set inimicus [...]s obiit, visisque articulis et conditionibus contentis [Page 379] in Ordinatione per ipsum Dominum Regem facta in ea [...]dem ultima guerra hominibus de terra Scotia, et con­cessione de redditione terrarum suarū eisdem facienda, quam de aliis in eadem Ordinatione contentis, et virtute cujus Ordinationis petentes praedicti modo tenementa praedicta petunt: Uidetur Domino Regi et Consilio suo, quod petentes praedicti ratione illius Ordinatio­nis seu redditionis in Petitione sua praedicta audiri non debent. Propter quod Concordatum est et conside­ratum per ipsum Dominum Regem et Consilium su­um, quod praedictus Willielmus eat inde sine die, &c. Et quod praedicti petentes nichil capiant per Petitio­nem suam praedictam, &c. After which, upon the suit of the Petitioners to King Edward the 2. in the 4. year of his reign, being in Scotland, there issued two several writs to Gilbert de Roubyry, to search theThen in be­ing, but since not extant.

Nicholas de Segraves case, in Cooks 3 Instit. p. 7, 8. and My Plea for the Lords, p. 361. with others there cited: I shall here for brevity recite only two Memorable ones.

The 1. in the Placita in Parliamento apud London in crastino Epiphaniae, Anno regni Edwardi 1. vicesimo, the long, great and famous case between Humfry de Bohun Earl of Hereford and Essex, and Gilbert de Clare Earl of Gloucester and Hertford, who invaded one anothers lands by force and arms in a warlike manner, and committed many rapines, burnings, murders and enormities against [Page 380] the Kings peace and prohibition: after many Inquisi­sitions and debates touching this business before Justi­ces assigned, and afterwards before the Kings Counsil, and then before the King and his Counsil, by these passages often mentioned in the record; Concordat [...]m est per DOMINUM REGEM & CONSILIUM, De­cretum est PER CONSILIUM, Videtur CONSILIO DOMINI REGIS, per dictum DOMINUM REGEM & CONSILIUM, &c. evident [...]r compertum est (twice repeated) Quod corpora eorum habeat coram.

At last both the Earls. Voluntati Domini Regis se omnino submiserunt, ut de eorumque liber­tatibus faciat quod sibi placuerit. Whereupon Do­minus Rex super hoc non voluntariè tantumniodo, imo pro [...]t de jure et secundum legem et consuetudinem reg­ni fuerit faciendum, et etiam per Consilium Archie-piscoporum, Cpiscoporun [...]; Comitum et Baronum caeterorumque De Consilio suo existentium facere volens in praemissis, et ut voluntas sua justa sit et ratio­nabilis pro [...]t decet, eorumque Assensum in praemissis petiit et Consilium. Propter quod habito tractatu [...]oram ipso Domino Rege et Consilio suo super prae­dictis, tam ipso Domino Regi, quam caeteris Prae­latis et Magnatibus et singulis de Consilio suo vi­de [...]ur, quoad Comitem Gloucestriae, quod libertas sua praedicti, &c. pro se et haeredibus suis forisfacta est ra­tione delicti praedicti, &c. Dictum est eidem Comiti Gloucestriae per considerationem et Iudicium Archie­piscoru [...], Episcoporum, Comitum, Baronum, et to­tius consilit Domini Regis, quod libertas sua prae­dicta, &c. totumque regale in eisdem terris remaneânt Domino Regi et haeredibus suis ut forisfacta tota vita ipsius Comitis Gloucestriae, et idem Comes retor [...]etur prisonae, et inde redimetur ad voluntatem domini Re­gis▪ [Page 381] et etiam quod praedictus Comes Hereford recuperet versus eum Centum libras pro dampnis praedictis. Et similiter quoad praedictum Comitem Hereford, [...]o quod videtur Domino Regi, et ejus Consilio habito su­per hoc tracta [...] diligenti, quod libertas sua in terris suis de Brekenno [...], &c. ratione delicti praedicti forisfac­ta esset. Dictum est eidem Comiti Hereford, per consi­derationem et judicium Archiepiscoporum, Episco­porum, Comitum et Baronum, et totius Consilii Domini Regis, quo libertas sua praedicta remaneat Domino Regi et haeredibus suis forisfacta de ipso Co­mite Hereford et haeredibus suis imperpetuum, et corpus suum prisonae retornetur et inde redimetur ad volunta­tem Domini Regis; Et quia videtur Domino Regi et ejus Consilio, quod transgressio de qua idem Co­mes Hereford convictus est, non est ita carcans, nec tan­tam poenam requirit quantum et facta transgressio prae­dicta de qua praedictus Comes Gloucestriae convincitur: and because he had espoused the Queens kinswoman; therefore the forfeiture was mitigated, and ordered to continue to the King and his heirs during the Earls life only: After these Earls had continued in prison for some time; the Earl of Gloucester, finem fecit Domi­no Regi pro Decem Mille Marc. pro Transgre s [...]ione praedic­ta, and put in 5 Noble men for his pledge [...]; And the Earl of Hereford likewise, finem fecit Domino Regi pro T [...]ansgressione praedicta, pro Mille Marcis, et re [...]ipitur per plegios, who are named in the Record: After which Io [...] de Crepinghes, and others of the Earls Assistants in these riotous Misdemeanors, ad instantiam Praelato­rum, Comitum & Baronum, et aliorum de Consilio sus, who moved the King to shew mercy to them▪ were put to several fines.

The 2. is in the Placita co [...]am [...]ipso Rege & Consilio suo ad Parliamentum suum, post Pascha apud London, Anno 21 E. 1. the Archbishop of Yorkes case. Johannes Ar­chiepiscopus Eborum attachi [...]tus fuit ad respondendum Da­mino Regi de pla [...]i [...]o quare cum placita de Imprisonamento [Page 382] et aliis Transgressionibus in regno Regi [...] contra pacem Regis factis ad Regem & coronam et dignitatem suam specialiter pertineant. Idem Archiepiscopus per Johannem Prio­rem de Bolton in Cravene Commissarium suum in venerabilem Patrem Antonium Episcopum Dunolm: dum nuper in partibus Borialibns in obsequio Regis juxta la [...]us suum per praeceptum ipsius Regis sub protectione extitit, pro eo quod Ballivi esusdem Episcopi Willielmum de Wrleton [...] Johannem Roman apud D [...]nolm. inventos ceporunt et imprisonaver [...]nt, Excommunicationis sententi [...]m in Regis contemptum et Coronae & dignitatis suae laesionem, & contra reverentiam Regis in hac parte debitam, in dispectum ipsius Regis viginti Mille librarum, fecit fulminari, et illam Excommunicationem demandari. Propter quod idem Rex ta [...]um contemptum & tantum irreverenti [...] sibi illatam [...]ran­sire impunitam sustinere non valens, maxime cum tam ipse Rex quam praellictus Episcopus quanium in ipso suit, praefato Willielmo & Johanni de imprisonamento praedicto celeris justitiae complementum juxta regni consue [...]udinem semper fue­runt parati exhibere, &c. After the Archbishops Plea thereto, and a long debate of the business in Parlia­ment; Videtur Domino Regi in pleno Parliamento prae­dicto, Comitibus, Baronibus, Iusticiariis, & similiter toti Consilio ipsius Domini Regis, quod praedictus Ar­chiepiscopus quantum in ipso fuit niteba [...]ur occupare & usurpare super Coronam Regiam et Dignitatem, in casu [...]isto deliberationes imprisonatorum, contra legem et consuetudinem regni, et Contra [...]dem in qua idem Archiepiscopus Domino Regiet Coronae suae astringitur, ad exhaeredationem Do [...]ni Regis et haeredum suorum manifestam. Propter quod per Comites, Barones et Iusticiarios, et dinnes alios de Constlio ipsius Domini Regis concordatum est, quod praedictus Archiepiscopus committatur prisonae, pro offensa & transgressione praedictis. Et super hoc ante Iudicium pro­nunnciatum licet unanimiter de consilio praedictorum Magnatum et aliorum concordatum fuisset tenendum in hoc casu, et similiter in casibus consimilibus imperpetuum, praedictus Archiepiscopus Maguates et alios de Consilio [Page 383] ipstus Domini Regis rogavit, quod pro eo Domi­num Regem requirerent, ut Ante Pronuntiationem Judicit ipsum ad gratiam suam admitteret. Et Domi­nus Rex ad instantiam eorundem Magnatum, de gra­tia sua speciali hoc idem ipso Archiepiscopo concessit. Et idem Archiepiscopus humiliter supplicavit, quod possit de omnibus praemissis alto & basso Voluntati Domini Regis se submittere. Which the King assen­ting to at the Lords request, Dictum est eidem Archiepis­copo sub gravi forisfactura, quod non recedat à Parliamento isto [...]onec super praemissis Domini Regis audivit voluntatem. Postea venit praedictus Archiepiscopus, et fecit finem Domino Regi pro Transgressione praedicta, pro quatuor millibus mar­carum, per scriptum suum obligatorium: 5 others being bound with him for due payment thereof to the King.

It is observable, that in all these Pleas, Proceedings & Judgments, there is no mention at all of the Knights, Citizens, Burgesses, or Commons in Parliament, (no shar [...]rs in them) but only of the King, Archbishops, Bishops, Earles, Barons, Justices, and Kings Counsell.

4ly. The power of the Kings Counsell and Judges in Parliament, is evident by sundry Prefaces to, and passages in our printed Acts of Parliament: as namely by the preface of the printed Statute of Bigamie, 4. Octo [...]. An. 4. Ed. 1. In the presence of certain Reverend Fathers, Bishops of England, and OTHERS OF THE KINGS COVNSELL, the Constitutions underwritten were recited, after heard, and published before the King and HIS COVNSELL: forasmuch as ALL THE KINGS COVNSELL, AS WELL IVSTICES AS OTHERS DID AGREE that they should be put in writing for a perpetual memory, and that they should be stedfastly observed.See Poultons Statutes at large. p. 39, 43, 44.&c.

It was moved in Parliament in the presence of the Prelates, Barons, Nobles, and Great men of the Realm, and others there present; Whether the Order of the Tem­plers being dissolved, the King and other Lords of the fees might retain them by the Law of the Realme, and with safe conscience? Whereupon the Greater part of the Kings Counsell, as well the Iustices as other Lay-Persons being assembled together, the said Iustices affir­med precisely; That our Lord the King, and other Lords of the fees aforesaid, might well and lawfully by the lawes of the Realme retain the foresaid Lands as their Escheats, in regard of the ceasing and dissolution of the Order aforesaid. But upon other grounds of Conscience, they setled them on the Hospitall of S. Iohns of Ierusalem by this Statute. 1. E. 3. c. 3.

And chap. 4. It is accorded, assented and stablished, that from henceforth none shall be taken by petition or suggestion made to our Sove­reign Lord the King, or to his Counsell, unlesse it be by Inditement or presentment of his good and lawfull neighbours. 25.

E. 3. Stat. 2. c. 3. It is accorded by our Sovereign Lord the King, the Great men, and all the Commons in this present Parliament, that the Chancellor and Treasurer taking unto them the JUSTICES and OTHER THE KINGS COUN­SEL, such as to them shall seem meet, shall have power to ordain remedy of the buying and selling of Stockfish of St. Botulfs, and Salmon of Barwick, and of Wines and Fish of Bristow, and elsewhere; and that the Ordinances by them made in this party be firmly holden. The offenders against the Ordi­nance of Fish, made in 31. E. 3. c. 2. are to be at­tached and detained in Prison as Rebels and Trans­gressors, till the King and HIS COUNSEL have ordained of them, that right requireth after the quality of their Trespasse. 34. E. 3. c. 21. By assent of the King and of HIS COUNSEL, passage was granted of Wools and other Merchandises of the Staple to Denizens, contrary to the Ordinance of the Staple, that only Merchants Aliens, and no Merchants Denizens, should transport them; which passage was confirmed by Parliament, and this Act. 35 E. 3.

It was adjudged by US AND OUR COUNSEL, that the Fishers of her­rings at Great Yermouth should be free to sell their herrings to all people that will come to the faire of Yermouth, without disturbance of their host or any other, and accordingly enacted by this Parliament. The printed Pardon granted by the King in Parlia­ment, An. 36. E. 3. was prayed by the Commons to be shewed to the Ki [...]g and to HIS COVNSELL, and to the other Lords, ere passed, according to the tenour of the Commons Petition. 37 E. 3. c. 15.

Plese a nostre Seigneur le Roy & son BON COVNSEL pur droyt governement de son peuple Ordeigner: Which complains that diverse up­on false and malicious suggestions have been taken and caused to come before the Kings Counsil by writ and other command of the King upon grievous pein against the Law.’

Claus:See Claus. 38 11. 3. dors. 13.37 H. 3. dors. 7. Rex Ricardo Comiti Cornu­biae, salutem: Alias allocuti sumus Episcopum Sarum, quod intenderet Consilio nostro, & praebuit se difficilem, propter quod ad praesens nolumus habere alios Consi [...]arios quàm ordi­navimus, sicut scitis; sed cum aliqua difficultas emerserit super Iudicium reddendum, vel aliis communibus negotiis ta [...] gentibus legem terrae, bene placet Nobis quod ad hoc in­tendat cum à Vobis interpellatus: & ad ipsum vocandum cum hujusmodi necessitas evenerit, plenam Vobis concedimus pote­statem. Teste Rege apud Portsmouth 7 die Augusti.

By this record it is evident, That the Kings Counsil in those dayes usually gave judgement in cases of diffi­culty, and other common cases concerning the Law of the realm, calling those who were learned in the Laws for Assistants therein. Of which amongst many others we have a memorable president in the Pleas of Mich. 53 & 54 H. 3. rot: 37. in the case of Assise of Mortdaun­cester brought by Alexander King of Scots against Iohn de Burgo, for the Mannor of Westlye with its appurte­nances [Page 391] before G. de Preston, and other Justices in Eyre, who determining nothing therein; thereupon King Hen: writ to the Justices to proceed to a speedy deter­mination, or else to adjourn it coram Nobis et Consi­lio nostro in Quindena Michaelis; which they did. When the King of Scots appearing by his Attorney, and Iohn de Burgo in person before S. de Litlebyr & Sociis suis Iusticiariis de Banco, Rich: de Middleton then the Kings Chancellor, Thomas Basset, Robert Augulon, and Mr. Ri­chard Stane [...], they resolved, that the writ of Mortdance­ster would not lie in that case, claiming both as heirs to one Ancestor; but because the King of Scots title to it was as heir to Margaret wife of Hubert de Burgo, they said to Iohn de Burgo, that he should shew cause, Quare praedictus Rex Scotiae praedictū Manerium habere non debeat: And so much touching the Counsils power and juris­diction in former times. Whose excessive power in later ages incroaching upon the Ordinary Courts of Justice, Freeholds, Liberties, Properties of the Subjects to their great oppression and vexation: thereupon in the late Parliament of 16 Caroli, Cap. 10. there was an excellent Act made, For Regulating the Privy Counsill, and for taking away the Court commonly called the Starr-chamber, fit to be put in vigorous execution against the transcendent infringers of it. By all which it appears, that the Kings Iustices, and Counsil in Parliaments (as well as out of them) had formerly a principal hand in making Laws, Ordinances; and resolving points, questi­ons of Law, and other matters of moment.

I shall close up my Observations on this Section with these 4. memorable Records, relating to the Kings Counsell, and the Nobles, in Scotland and Ire­land, as distinct from his Counsell and Parliamentary Assemblies in England.

Cl. 37. H. 3. d. 9. Rex mandat quod Abbas Westm.-moretur in Anglin de Consilio Reginae, propter reces­sum Regis ad partes Vasconiae. Et mandatum est ei­dem Reginae quod ipsum ad hoc admittat, accepto ab [Page 392] eo prius corporali Sacramento, quod officium illud fi­deliter intendat. T. ut supra.

Cl. 38. H. 3. dors. 13. Rex H. Cantuar. De Magnati­bus Vocatis ad Consilium. Archiepiscopo salutem. Cum quaedam ardua & urgentia negotia Sta­tum nostrum & Regni nostri tangentia, habeamus Vo­bis communicanda, quae sine consilio Vestro & aliorum Magnatum nostrorum noluimus expediri, Vobis man­damus in fide quia Nobis tenemini firmiter injungentes, quatinus sicut Nos & honorem nostrum diligitis, nul­latenus omittatis, quin à die Sancti Hillarii proximo futuri in quindecim dies, sitis apud Westm. coram Regina nostra & R. Com. Cornub. fratre nostro, & aliis de Con­silio nostro, super dictis negotiis tractaturi, nec retardetis adventum vestrum quin sitis ad dictum diem tempe­stive. Teste A. Regina & R. Com. Cornub. apud Westm. The cause of this meeting is at large related in another Writ to this Archbishop, forecited. p. 3. 4.

Upon the same occasion the King issued this Writ to the King of Scots, entred in the same Roll and dorse.

Claus. 38 H. 3. dors. 13. Rex Regi Scotiae salutem. Quia ratio Vinculi & foederis inter nos contracti requirit, quod Vobis & fidelibus Vestris ardua & urgentia negotia Statum no­strum & terrae nostrae tangentia communicemus, & Vos Nobis vice versa; Serenitatem vestram ex toto corde re­quirimus, quatinus in Quindena Purificationis bea­tae Mariae prox. futur. apud Castrum puellarum de E­denburgh personaliter interesse velitis; convocantes & inducentes Praelatos & Magnates Regni Vestri, ut ad di­ctos diem & locum representent se coram Vobis modis omnibus. Nullo enim modo expediret honori & proficuo nostro & vestro, quin modo praedicto ad prae­dictos diem & locum compareatis; audituri per nuncios nostros qui de Vasconia Vobis ibidem occurrent, praedi­cta negotia arduissima & urgentissima, in quibus necesse est, quod vos & fideles vestri consilium vestrum pariter & auxilium apponatis. T. ut supra, per Reginam & Co­mitem.

[Page 393] It is observable, that the King by this Writ doth not summon the King of Scots and his Nobles to his Par­liament, or Counsell of England, as members thereof, to advise and assist him in this necessitie, notwithstanding the strict alliance and league between them, but to assemble together at Edenburgh in their own country, by themselves alone, as the Officers and Nobles of Ire­land were then also required to meet in Ireland by themselves, by this ensuing Writ of the same date with the former.

Ita quod sitis apud Waterford in Octabis Pasche prox. futur. cum equis & armis & bona gente, prompti & parati statim naves ascendere ad transfretandum ad Nos in terram praedictam. Sci­tote indubitanter qui Nobis in hac parte subvene­rint, eorum amici erimus & benevoli imperpetuum; & qui Nos in hac urgenti & inexuperabi [...]i necessi­ [...]ate relinquerint, de eis alias minus confidere poteri­mus, & eis minus grati erimus. Nunquam etiam futuris temporibus tanta Nobis imminebit necessi­tas [Page 394] consilii & auxilii sicut in presenti negotio. Et ad regerendum vobis plenius pericula nostrorum Ini­micorum, Iohannem filium Galfridi, Justiciarium no­strum Hiberniae, ad partes illas (misimus) cui apud Dub­linum ad in stantem mediam Quadragesimam; una cum aliis Magnatibus nostris Hiberniae quibus [...]id mandavi­mus accedatis, audituri voluntatem nostram, & cum ip­ [...]o super praemissis, plenius tractaturi.

Where the Dorses are for brevity omitted in any years of this or any the precedent Tables after a particular name you may readily find them in the precedent Sections, in the writs to the Prelats, Temporal Lords and Counsil, which are all entred together in the self-same Rolls, and Dorses, when they all occurr.

General useful Observations on and from the precedent Writs of Summons, mentioned in the premised Sections; and the 7. Sections next ensuing in the second part following them.

HAving thus presented you with 3▪ distinct Secti­ons or Squadrons of Writs of Summons, to our Parliaments, Great Councils and Convocations, is­sued to Arch-bishops, Bishops, Abbots, Priors, and other Ecclesiastical Lords; the P. of Wales, Dukes, Earls, Barons Temporal Lords, and great men of the Realm, the Kings Counsil, Iustices, with some useful particular Observa­tions on them in each Section, I shall for a close of this first part of my breif Register, Kalender, and Survey of them, superadd some general necessary Observations on, and Conclusions from them, and the 7. next follow­ing Sections (which I intended to have annexed to this first part of my Register, but now shall reserve for the second,) for the further information of the Readers, the benefit of Posterity, and rectifying some Oversights in sundry printed trivial Discourses of our English Par­liaments.

First, From the manifold rare, delightful Varieties, Forms, Diversities, and distinct kinds of Writs of Som­mons, transcribed out of the Clause Rolls, in a Chro­nological method; Va [...]ied from time to time by our Kings, their Chancellors, Counsellors, and Officers, who formed them, as there was occasion, without the privity or direction of their Parliaments, before the Sta­tutes [Page 396] of 7. H. 4. c. 15. 6. H. 6. c. 4. 8. H. 6. c. 7. 23. H. 6. c. 11. 15. which ordered some new clauses to be insert­ed only into the VVrits for Election of Knights of Shires, (and none else) for preventing and rectifying abuses in such elections, but prescribed no set unalterable future form [...], for those or any other Writs of Sommons, leaving the King and his Counsil at Free Liberty as before, to vary and alter them as they saw just cause; The Judicious Readers may clearly discern, what little credit is to be given to Reverend Sir Edward Cookes ob [...]ervation, in his slight4. Institutes p. 10. discourse, Touching the VVrits of Som­mons of Parliament, which are to be found in the close Rolls from time to time; Which begins thus. A [...]d it is to be Ob­served, that the substance of the VVrits, ought to continue in their Original Essence, without any Alteration or Ad­dition, unlesse it be by Act of Parliament. For if Bractan. l. 5. f. 413. Brit­ton. 122. 227. Fleta. l. 2. c. 12 West. 2. c. 23. 1. part of the [...]nsti [...]. Sect. 101 f. 73. b. Original VVrits at the Common Law can receive no Altera­tion or Addition, but by Act of Parliament, A multo For­tiori, The Writs of the Sommons of the Highest Court of Parliament, can receive no Alteration or Addition but by Act of Parliament, &c. But had this great Oracle of the Law, diligently considered the mani­fold varieties of the Writs of Sommons to Parliaments, With their several Alteraions and Additions, made from time to time upon emergent occasions, without any Act or Order of Parliament; Or, had he remembred old Lib. 5. f. 413. Bractons, and his own distinction of these two dif­ferent sorts of Original VVrits, in the places he refers us to in his margin, viz. Brevia Originalia, quaedam sunt formata sub suis casibus, & de cursu, & De communi Concilio to­tius Regni concessa et Approbata; quae quadem Nulla­tenus mutari poterint, absque consensu et voluntate [...]orum: & quaedam Magistralia, et saepe variantur se­cundum varietatem casuum, factorum et quaerelarum, and that by the Masters and Clarks of the Chancery them­selves, according to the variety of every Mans case; as Instis. f. [...]3. b. himself, and the Statute of VVestm. 2. c. 23. resolve us, without any Act, or common consent in Parliament, [Page 397] And then judiciously pondered, that Writs of Sommons to Parliaments, are all of this latter kind, only Migistra­li [...], and frequently varied according to the several varie­ties of the causes, Publick grievances Dangers, E­mergences, Businesses, Complaints, occasiōing their Som­moning, expressed usually in these Writs different Pro­logues; he would certainly never have made such a strange erronious Observation as this upon these Writs, contradi­cted by so many Presidents on record in all former ages; nor alleaged such a pittiful mistaken Argument a multo Fortiori, and such Authorities to justifie it; Which di­ametrically contradict both his reason and observation, the Writs of Sommons being all of them Magistralia, not Formata sub suis Casibus, (as the miserably mistook them to be.) Therefore if such Magistral Writs are of [...] [...]imes varied, according to the variety of cases, facts and complaints in particular mens cases, by the Clerks of Chancery, and Cursitors themselves, without Act of Parliament, a multo fortiori, may Writs of Sommons to Parliaments of the self same kind, which concern the great weighty affairs of the King, Kingdom and Church of England, be varied, altered by the King himself, with the Advise of his Great Officers, Judges, Council, ac­cording to the variety of emergent occasions, requiring Parliaments to be called, without any Act or consent of Parliament authorizing it, notwithstanding Sir Ed­wards groundlesse Assertion to the contrary, though pre­faced with and it is to be observed; as I conceive it will henceforth be for a great mistake, although formerly believed as an undoubted Truth, upon his Ipse dixit; whose venerable reputation hath canonized many of his Apochryphal conceipts, which have dangerously seduced most Students and Professors of the Law, with others who peruse his Institutes; for whose better Information, and Vindication of the truth alone, I have upon all just occasions both detected and corrected his formerly un­discerned Errors; and this here insisted on, I hope with­out just offence to any of his surviving Friends or Pro­geny; [Page 397] if they consider the duty and protestation of eve­ry ingenuous Christian, and Chronographer thus briefly expressed by St. Paul, 2 Cor. 13. 8.See the 2. and 3. part of my Historical Collection and Vindication. My Abridge­ment of the an­cient Councils and Parlia­ments of Eng. We can do nothing a­gainst the truth, but for the truth.

Secondly, It is observable, that the word Parlia­mentum, is but once used or mentioned in any Writ of Sommons, Act, Statute, Charter, Patent, or other Re­cord that I have yet seen, either before or during the Reigns of King Iohn or Henry the 3d. but only the word Concilium, Commune Concilium, Colloquium, Tra­ctatum; placitum magnum, &c. which frequently occur, and are alwayes used in them to expresse that Assem­bly of the States by, which in after times, and now is usu­ally called Parliamentum. The very first mention, and use of this word, in any Writ or Record I have perused, is in the Writ of Sommons to the Cinqueports, Cl. 49. H. 3. d. 11. sōmoning thē ad instans Parliamentum nostrum, The next is in the Writ of Prorogation of the Parlia­ment. Cl. 3. E. 1. 20. in dor. where it is twice thus mētioned in the Writ; Generale Parliamentum nostrum, eodem Parliamento, and once in the Margin, Do veniendo ad Parliamentum; And this Writ assures us that it was used in the Original Writs of Sommons to this Parlia­ment, though not extant, compared with the printed Prologue to the Acts therin established. The Writs of Som­mons from 3. to 23. E. 1. being not extant in the Rolls; the next use of this word I find, is in the Writ [...] of Som­mons & Prorogation, in Clau [...]. 23. E. 1. dorse 9. Cl. 28. E. 1. d. 3. 17. Cl. 30. E. 1d. 7. 9. Cl. 32. E. 1. d. 1. Cl. 33. E. 1. d. 9. 10. 21. Claus. 34. E. 1. d. 2. and Claus. 35. E. 1. d. 13. In all which Writs under King Edward the first, not onely. Colloquium & Tractatum, but also the word Par­liamentum is mentioned, and also thus expressed in the Margin of the Rolls. De Parliamento tenendo, De­veniendo ad Parliamentum, De Parliamento Proro­gando. And so is it likewise in the Writs de expensis Militum qui venerunt ad Parliamentum Regis, clau. 28. E. 1. dors. 12. cl. 29. E. 1. d. 17. cl. 33. E. 1. d. 15. cl. 34. E. [Page 398] E. 1. d. 11. and cl. 35. E. 1. d. 14. In the Writs and Rolls of Sommons, and De expensis Militum & Burgensium, under Edward the 2d. it is commonly used and mention­ed, as the premises evidence; Yet I find Parliamentum to­tally omitted again in sundry other Writs of Sommons and Prorogations, and the words Colloquium, Tractatum, & Commune Consilium, only made use of in them; as in cl. 23. E. 1. d. 2. 4. cl. 24. E. 1. d. 7. cl. 25. E. 1. d. 25. cl. 27. E. 1. d. 9. 16. 28. cl. 28. E. 1. d. 3. cl. 1. E. 2. d. 11. 19. cl. 2. E. 2. d. 11. 13. 14. 20. cl. 9. E. 2. d. 17. and in some other succeeding Rolls; yet in the Margin o­ver against these Writs, I find in divers of these Rolls, De Parliamento tenendo; De veniendo ad Parliamen­tum, Summonitio & Prorogatio Parliamenti, written, though the words Parliamentum, be not extant in the Writs themselves.

The first use of the word Parliamentum, in any Act or Statute in my Observation, is in the Prologu [...] to the Statutes of Westminster, 1. An. 3. E. 1. which it stiles, Son Primer Parliament general apres Son coronement. The next usage of it is in 7. E. 1. Rastal Armour 1. Wherein it is twice mentioned: After which I find it used in the Prologue of Westminster, 2. 13. E. 1. and c. 24. In the Statute of Merchants, 13. E. 1. The Statutes De Quo warranto; De terris vendendis & emendis, 18. E. 1. The Statute of Waste for Heirs, end of Defending Rights, 20. E. 1. The Statutes De non ponendis in Assisis, and De Ma­lefactoribus i [...] parcis, 21. E. 1. The Statute of Persons appealed, 28. E. 1. And the Prologue to Articuli super car­tas the same year: The Statutes De Escheatoribus, 29. E. 1. The New Statutes of Quo warranto, 30. E. 1. Ordinatio Fo­restae, 33. E. 1. De asportatis Religiosorum, c. 1. In most succeeding Prologues to all Statutes and divers Acts, ever since King Edward the 1. it is commonly and frequently used; (as also in ourMatth. Westminster, 2. p. 363, 264, 387, 321, 405, 411, 415, 438, 439, 463, 464, col. 1965, 1977. Historians in that age) In the Pro­logue to Articuli Cleri, An. 9. E. 2. there is this observable Recital. Sciatis quod cum Dubum temporibus Progenitorum nostrorum Regum Angliae, in diver sis Parliamentis su­is, [Page 400] & similiter postquam Regni gubernacula suscipimus, In Parliamentis nostris, &c. Ac nuper in Parliamento nostro apud Lincoln, &c. Attributing this title of Parli­amentum, not only to the Parliament [...] held under Edward the 2d. and first, but to General Councils of State, and Conferences held by our Kings, Lords, & great Men, in the Reigns of their Progenitors, who were totally un­acquainted with this Word, and never used it for ought I can yet discover. It is agreed by all who have written of theCookes 1. Instit. p. 109, 110, 4. Instit, c. 1. Antiquity, or use of our English Par­liaments, that the word Parliamentum, is no proper Latin word,Cromtons Jurisdiction of Courts, Ch. 1. The Antiquity of the Parlia­ments of Eng­land, by Justice Dodridge and others, p. 43. 65, 66. for that we call a Parliament, but Colloqui­um, Tractatus, & commune Concilium Regni nostri, still reteined in the Writs of Sommon [...], as well since the use of the word Parliamentum grew common, as before in was inserted into such Writs: That it is originally a meer French Word, first introduced amongst us by the Norman Monkes, or being taken from the French, who stiled the publick conventions of their Kings and Princes a Parliament, in their own Language, and coyned this new Latin word Parliament [...]m out of it. But when, and by whom it was first introduced and used in England, is a great dispute amongst truly judicious Antiquaries. Many there are who conceive it to be used in the S [...]xons time, andThe Antiquity of the Parlia­ment of Eng­land, p. 78, 79. writes, that this word was first brought into this Realm by the French Monkes and first used by the Statists in the time of H. 1. & that Abbot Ingulphus, first used it, who dyed in the year 1109. long before the reign of King Henry the 3d, because many Latin and English Historians and Chronolo­gers, who (have written since the Reign of King Hen­ry the 3d.) do sometimes give the title of Parliamen­tum, & Parliament, to our great Councils and Assemblies of the King, and of the spiritual and temporal Lords in those ancient times, in their relations of them: But this questionless is a gross mistake; since not one of all their great Councils in any of their Titles, Prologues, Laws, Cannons, Edicts, Acts, recorded by Brompton, Lambard, Sir Henry Spelman, Whe [...]lock, Fox, and others; nor a­ny of our Historians living and writing in those times, before the later end of King Henry the 3d. (as Gildas, Beda, A [...]helwerdus, Asser Menevensis, Ingulphus, Wil­lielmus, [Page 401] Malmes buriensis, Eadmerus, Florentius Wigorniensis, Simeon Dun [...]lmensis, Aelredus Abbas, Henry de Huntindon, Sylvester Gyraldhes, Gulielmus Neubrigeusis, Simeon & Richardus Hagustaldensis, Radulphus de Diceto, Roger VVendover, Thomas Spotte, Gervasius Doroberniensis, & Tilburiensis, VVillielmus Stephanides, Gualterus Mapes, Gualterus Coventriensis, Richardus Heliensis, Thomas Stubs, & Petrus Hen [...]am) nor yet Glanvill, Bracton, Andrew Horn, and other Lawyers flourishing under H. the 2. and 3. do once use, or apply this word Parlia­mentum, to any one Grand parliamentary Council, which they alwayes call by other Names, for ought I can yet discover upon my best search and inquiry.

The very first of all our Writers or Historians in my Observation, who made use of this word, and applyed it to the Common Councils of our Realm, is Matthew Paris See Balae­us. Script. Brit. cens. 4. c. 26. p 315, 316. flourishing about the midsts, and dying before the end of King Henry the 3d. Anno. 1259. the 43. of his Reign. He in his Historia Angliae, from the beginning of the Conquerors Reign, till the year 1246. (the 30th. of Henry the 3d.) alwayes made use of the words Conci­lium, Concilium magnum, Colloquium Tractatus, and the like, to expresse all Parliamentary Great Coun­cils, and State Assemblies held in England; near the space of 200. years before he Writ, and never of Parlia­mentum. But in Anno gratiae, 1246. and 1247. and in no other years before or after, he useth this word five or six times only, in these insuing passagesEdit. Ti­grui. 1589. p. 674. 677. 686. 687. Anno 1246. Convenit ad Parliamentum Generalissimum totius Regni Angliae totalis Nobilitas Londini. &c, Over a­gainst which the Publisher, not he, adds in the Margin Parliamentum habitum Londini, After which he sub­joynes Convenientibus igitur ad Parliamentum m [...]mo­ratum totius Regni Magnatibus: Then followes, Et postea in Anglia in Parliamento Regis ubi congregata fuerat totius Regni tam Cleri quam Militiae Generalis Vni­versitas, deliberatum, &c. Yet in the very next page, he returns to his old term again. Die vero translationis [Page 402] Thomae Martyris habitum est magnum Concilium, inter Regem & Regni Magnates, apud VVintoniam. Over against which, his continuer or publisher hath placed this marginal Note. Parliamentum habitum apud VVinton. The like he doth in p. 560. 561, 687, 714. and elsewere, inserting in the Margin, Parliamentum Generale, &c. When as Matthew Paris useth it not, but Concilium only, or the like in his Text. In hisIbidem p. 702. 707. History of the next yeer 1 [...]47. He proceeds thus. Dominus Rex Francorum Regni sui Nobiles tam Cleri quam Populi generaliter Edicto Regio fecit convocari, ut Ad Parliamentum communiter convenientes, ardu ne­gocia Regni sui statum contingentia, diligenter, deliberan­do, contrectarent. And Five pages after, Dominus Rex (H. 3.) jussit omnem totius Regni Nobilitatem convoca­ri, &c. Oxoniis: Praelatosautem maxime Ad hoc Parlia­mentum vocavit arctius. Applying the word Parlia­mentum, to these Assemblies of the King, Lords and Nobles, both in France and England, held this year, about the weighty affairs of their respective Kingdoms. In his Additamenta to the last Addition of his History printed at London, p. 170. he useth the word Parlia­mentum only once, and that in another sense; For the conference and discourse of Monkes with one another af­ter their repasts, then prohibited the black Monkes by special Order, as an impediment to their contemplations and prayers. In no places else of his History or other print­ed pieces, do I find he made use of this word. Indeed, the continuer of his History from the yeer 1258. to the end of King Henries Reign 1273. (whomScripto­rum Brit. Cen. 4. c. 94. Iohn Bale inform [...] us to be VVilliam Rishanger) flourishing under King Edward the 1. & 2. (when this word Parliamentum grew cōmon both in Writs of Sommons, Statutes, & vulgar Speech) makes frequent use thereof in his History, ap­plying it to great Councils of the Realm, in the latter end of Henry the 3d. both in the Text and Margin; as in Page 788, 933. 935. 938. 940. 948. 960. 967. 974. of his continuation, Editione Tiguri, 1589, and so doth [Page 403] Matthew Westminster (who continued the History of Matthew Paris) flourishing under the Reign of King Edward the third,See the Praeface to Mat Paris, and Mat Westm, [...] Script. Brit. Cent. 6. c. 31. when this word Parliamentum was commonly used in all Writs of Summons, Statutes, Writers and Vulgar speech) makes frequent use there­of, applying it to the Great Councils of State towards the latter end of King Henry the third, in his Flores Histo­riarum, Londini 1570. pars 2. p. 206, 207, 223, 254. 261. 280, 296, 300, 317, 345. and in subsequent Pages to the Parliaments held under King Edward the first. Henry de Knyghton a Canon of Leicester flourishing under King Richard the 2. de Eventibus Angliae, l. 1. c. 3. l. 2. c. 10, 12, 15. Col. 2318, 2387, 3446, 2455. applies this word to the Great Councils held under the Danish and other Kings, before the Reign of Edward the 1. Canutus vixit per 20. annos, & postea celebravit Parliamentum apud Ox­oniam, &c.

Paris, that I have yet seen or heard of. From whence (to omit other Arguments, with the Writs de Expensis Militum & Burgensium levandis, mentioned in the Modus tenendi Parlamentum, though in no Records before, Claus. 28. E. 1.) it indeniably appears, that this absurd ridicu­lous Modus, so much magnified, followed, relied upon by4 Inst. p. 12. 341. 1. Instit. f. 10. 2. Instit. p. 7, 8.

E. 3. f. 60. hee cites to prove it, directly contradicts) After which King H. the 2. fitted and transcribed this Modus in­to Ireland in a Parchment Roll for the holding of Parlia­ments there. Which no doubt hee did by the advice of his Iudges, &c. That this Modus was seen by the makers of Magna Charta, Anno 9. H. 3. c. 2. concerning the redu­cing of ancient Reliefs of intire Earldemos, Baronies & Knights fees, according to such proportions as is contained in the Modus, which they could not have done so punctual­ly if they had not seen the same: (all which hee asserts with so much confidence, as if hee had been an eye-wit­ness thereof himself, though most gross untruths) is in [Page 305] verity a late spurious Imposture: written long after the Reign of King Henry the 3. and Edward the 1. himself confessing that some part thereof is cited in (he should have said taken out of) the Parliament Roll of Anno 11.

The word Parliamen­tum being not onely used many hundred times, almost in every line throughout this Modus, and not the words Concilium or Collequium, but likewise intituling and de­nominating the very Treatise it self, which grew not in­to such Vulgar use, till after the Reign of King Henry the 3. under King Edward the 3. and succeeding Kings, as appears by Thomas Walsingham, Hist, Angliae. p. 5, 8, 12, 13, 17, 25, 28, 32, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 40, 41, 42, 44, 45, 46, 70, 71, 76, 77, 78, 81, 82, 83, 88, 96, 105, 110.

Reports, prove it to be written under one of these three Kings Reigns, if not after them, as the Modus was: By both which you may easily discern, how little insight this great Lawyer had in Histories, Antiquities, or Records, as to be cheated, be­sotted with such Impostures, and bottom his Discourses of our Parliaments upon such spurious rotten Foundations as these.

3. That no Oath nor Engagement whatsoever was antiently imposed on the Members of the Lords or Com­mons House, [...]. 11. p. 40. to debar or seclude any of them from sit­ting or voting, much less were any of them suspended or forcibly kept out of either House till they had taken a­ny new-invented Oath, prescribed them onely by a pre­vailing party, without a Legal Act of Parliament ratified both by the Kings, Lords, and Commons in an orderly manner; such inforced seclusive Oaths, being inconsistent both with the Freedome, Priviledges, Rights of old English Parliaments. The Parliament of 1. Eliz. c. 1. upon the abolishing of Popery, and restitution of the Protestant Religion, having by unanimous consent of the three States, made and prescribed an Oath of suprema­cy (for the preservation of the ancient Rights and Royalties of the Crown of England, and of the persons of the Queen, her heirs and successors, against the usurpations, claimes, practices of the Bishop, of Rome, and his confederates) on all Arch-Bishops, Bishops, Arch-Deacons, Clergy-men, and temporal officers: By reason of the manifold Plots and Treasons of the Pope and Papists against the Queens per­son, Crown, and Realm, the Parliament of 5. Eliz. c. 1. thought fit to prescribe this Oath, for the better detection [Page 407] of persons popishly affected, not onely to all Readers, Bar­resters, Graduates in the Universities, Schoolmasters, She­riffs, and other inferiour Officers, but likewise to all future Knights, Citizens, and Burgesses of Parliament; enacting, That every person who shall bee hereafter elected or appointed a Knight, Citizen, Burgess, or Baron of the five Ports, for any Parliament or Parliaments hereafter to be holden, shall from henceforth, before hee shall enter into the Parliament House, or have any voice there, openly receive and pronounce the said Oath before the Lord Steward for the time being, or his Deputy or Deputies for that time to be appointed. And that hee which shall enter into the Parliament, House, without taking the said Oath, shall be deemed no Knight, Citizen, Burgess, nor Baron for that Parliament, nor shall have any voice, but shall be to all intents, constructions, and purposes, as if hee had never been returned or elected Knight, Citizen, Burgess or Baron for the Parliament, and shall suffer such pains and penalties, as if hee had presumed to sit in the same without Election, return, or authority. Provided, that this Act, nor any thing therein shall not extend to compel any temporal person of or above the degree of A Baron of the Realm, to take or pronounce the Oath abovesaid, nor to incur any penalty limited by this Act for not taking or refusing the same. This is the first Act ever imposing an Oath up­on any Members before their sitting and voting in the Parliament House: wherein five things are ob­servable.

1. That this Oath was made by unanimous consent of the Queen, Lords and Commons in Parliament.

2. That it was five years a probationer, and appro­ved, ratified by two successive Parliaments, before it was imposed upon any Members, and not actually ad­ministred to any till the Parliament of 8. Elizabeth.

3. That it was imposed onely upon the Members of the Commons House, not upon any temporal Lords or Barons of the Realm.

4. That the principal end of prescribing it was, to abo­lish [Page 408] the Popes usurped supremacy, and prevent his and his instruments Traiterous attempts against the Queens per­son, Crown, Kingdome, discover persons popishly affect­ed, and seclude them from sitting or voting in the Com­mons House if elected, returned, unless they should first take this Oath: Not to debar or exclude any real Pro­testants, when duly elected, from entring into the Parlia­ment house to discharge their trusts and duties.

5. That it appoints no Officers or armed Guards for­cibly to seclude any Knight, Citizen, Burgess, or Baron of the Ports till hee hath openly taken and pronounced this Oath, but onely layes 2 particular inhibition upon every such Member himself, not to enter the House without taking it, under the disabilities and penalties therein mentioned: leaving every Member a liberty to seclude himself in case hee were unsatisfied, or could not in conscience or prudence take this Oath, but authori­zing none else to keep him perforce out of the House, if hee had a mind to rush into it without taking it. After this the Par [...]iament of 3. Iacobi. c. 4. upon the detection and prevention of the in [...]ernal Gunpowder Treason of the Pope, Iesuites and Papists, to blow up the King, Queen, Prince, Lords, Commons, and Parliament, when all assem­bled together in the Lords House, November 5 Anno 1605. by unanimous consent of the three Estates, made and prescribed a New Oath of Allegianoe to all persons, except Péers of the Realm, who actually were, or should be su­spected to be Papists, for their better discovery and con­viction, without imposing it upon any Members of either House. Which Oath many Papists oppugning with false and unsound Arguments,7. Jac. c. 6.though tending onely to the declaration of such duty, as every true, well-affected sub­ject, not onely by his bond of Allegiance, but also by the commandement of Almighty God ought to bear to the Kings Majesty, his Heirs and Successors; Thereupon the Lords and Commons in the Parliament of 7. Iacobs: (when this Oath had been approved four years space) not onely enacted, ch. 2. that every person who should henceforth [Page 409] be naturalized or restored in blood, should first take this oath; but to shew their great approbation thereof, humbly prostrating themselves at his Majesties feet, did earnestly beseech him, that the same Oath might be administred to all his Subjects what soever; And thereupon it was enacted, ch. 6. That all and every Knights, Citizens, Burge [...]es, and Barons of the Five-Ports of the Commons House of Par­liament, [...]before hee or they shall be permitted to e [...]ter the said House, shall make, take, and renew the said corpo­ral Oath upon the Evangelists before the Lord Steward for the time being, or his Deputy or Deputies, without impo­sing any disability or penalty, or appointing any Offi­cers forcibly to seclude those from entring who refused it. Since these recited Acts, all Members of the Commons House have constantly taken these two Oaths voluntarily, without coercion or forcible seclusion, before they en­tred or sate as Members in the House. The last Parlia­ment of 16. Caroli in their first Act, for preventing the inconveniences happening by the long intermission of Parlia­ments, enacted: That all and every the Members that shall be elected to serve in any Parliament hereafter to be assembled by virtue of this Act, shall assemble and enter into the Com­mons House of Parliament, and shall enter into the same, and shall have voices in Parliament, before and without the taking of the several Oaths of Supremacy and Allegiance, or either of them, any Law or Statute to the contrary there­of in any wise notwithstanding. Provided alwaies, that if the Kings Majesty, his Heirs or Successors, shall at any time during any Parliament hereafter to be assembled by vertue of this Act, award or direct any Commission to any person or persons whatsoever to take or receive the said Oaths, of all or any Members of the Commons House of Parliament, and any Members of the House being duly required thereunto, shall refuse or neglect to take and pronounce the same, that from thenceforth such person so refusing or neglecting shall bee deemed no Member of that House, nor shall have any voice therein, and shall suffer such pains and penalties, as if hee had presumed to sit in the same House without Election, [Page 410] return or authority. These Statutes being all in their full force, never legally repealed, & authorizing no Officers nor Souldiers whatsoever forcibly to seclude or punish any Member of the Commons House, for not taking both or either of these two Legal Oaths of Supremacy and Allegiance ratified by so many indubitable Parlia­ments one after another, and backed by theA Colle­ction of Ordi­nance [...]. p. 420. K. 430. solemn League, Covenant, and Protestation; it is neither in the power of the King himself, or his Counsil, nor of the House of Lords, or any other persons whatsoever (much less of the Commons House alone, or any prevailing par­ty in it, who never in any age had the least Legal right or authority to administer an Oath in any case to any witness or person whatsoever, much less to impose any New Oaths upon their fellow-Members sitting with them, or secluded by them, and on all succeeding Mem­bers of that House in future Parliaments) to enforce any New Oath or Engagement whatsoever, inconsistent with, or repugnant to these two Legal Parliamentary Oaths, or to suspend, exclude, or eject any Knight, Citizen, Burgess, or Baron of the Ports duly elected and returned, from sitting or voting with them in the Commons House, for refusing such new Ingagement or Oath; it be­ing directly contrary not only to the Freedome, Priviledge of our English Parliaments, Laws, Liberties, but to the very letter of the3 Caroli. Petition of Right ratified by K. Charles himself, which complained of, and provides against the administring of any Oath not warranted by the Laws and Statutes of this Realm, and enacts, That no Man hereaf­ter shall be called to take such Oath (as being repugnant to their Rights, Liberties, the Laws and Statutes of the Land (much less then no Members of Parliament en­forced by their fellow-Members to take such an Oath, or else be suspended, secluded the House of Commons) Mr. Rush­worths Historical Collecti­ons. p. 423. & that former proceedings of this kind (in the case of Loanes, wherein such an oath was prescribed, exacted) should not be drawn hereafter into consequence or example; Yea contrary to the House of Commons Exact Col­ection. p. 8. Remonstrants of [Page 411] the State of the Kingdome, 15. Decemb. 1641. who there­in charge the Kings evil Counsellors, That New Oaths have been enforced upon the Subjects against Law, and new Iudicatures erected without Law (which some who thus remonstrated have since that actually done, to the secluding of sundry Members of their own new-model'd Parliaments, for refusing to take new illegal Oaths, and Engagements, repugnant to their old ones of Supremacy and Allegiance) if not the very third Article of the late Petition and Advice, viz. That the ancient and undoubted Liberties and Priviledges of Parliament (which are the Birth-right and Inheritance of the people, and wherein eve­ry man it interessed) bee preserved and maintained, and that you will not break nor interrupt the same, nor suffer them to be broken or interrupted. And particularly, that those persons who are legally chosen by a free Election of the people to serve in Parliament, may not be secluded from sit­ting in Parliament to do their duties, but by judgement and assent of that House whereof they are Members. There­fore not by any armed Guards without any hearing or judgement whatsoever: Which had some of those Ar­my-Officers and Swordmen well considered, who assent­ed to this Article and Petition; they would never have forcibly secluded, secured, imprisoned my self, and sun­dry other Members of the late Parliament, onely for the faithful discharge of our Oaths, Duties, without, yea a­gainst the judgement of the House whereof they were Members, which God in judgement hath repaid on some of them since that, with a suitable Retaliation, Seclusion, Restraint, by some of their own confederates in that un­righteous Anti-parliamentary action.

4 That there is no one President exstant in our Histo­ries or Records in former Ages, nor from 49. Henry 3. till the end of King Charles his Reign, of any Writs issued to Sheriffs or other Officers in Ireland, or Scotland (though subordinate and subject to our English Kings and Par­liaments) for electing Knights, Citizens, Burgesses, or Commissioners to sit or vote as Members of the Commons­house [Page 412] in any Parliaments or great Councils of England; nor yet for any Knights, Citizens, Burgesses out of Ger­sy, Gernsey, Alderny, Serke, Man, Silly, or other Islands belonging to England. 37. H. 8. c. 26. 34 H. 8. c. 26. Yea the Principality of Wales it self (though ever subjected and united to England as part thereof) never sent any Knights, Citizens, or Burgesses to the Parliaments of England, as Members thereof, till enabled by special Acts of Parliament, Anno 27. H. 8. c. 26. & 35. H. 8. c. 11. Nor yet the County Palatine of Chester, though a part and member of England, till specially enabled by the Statute of 34. H. 8. c. 13. nei­ther did, much less then can or ought any Counties, Ci­ties, Burroughs in Scotland, or Ireland, to claim or pre­tend the least colour of Right, Law, or Reason, to send any Knights, Citizens, Burgesses, (or Peers) to sit or vote in the Parliaments of England, neither ought any such if elected, returned to be of right admitted into our English Parliaments.

1. Because they never enjoyed this priviledge hereto­fore in any Age, nor pretended to it.

2. Because they are very remote from the places where our English Parliaments are held, and it will not be onely extraordinarily troublesome, expensive, vexa­tious, inconvenient for them, when elected, to re­sort so far to our English Parliaments, but dangerous, (especially to cross the Seas out of Ireland in the Winter season) and mischievous.

Thirdly, Because if any of them be unduly elected, returned (as is most probable the most of them will be so) it must necessarily put them to intollerable expen­ces, trouble, vexation, and almost an impossibility to examine, determine the legality or illegality of such Elections, and returns from Scotland and Ireland. The Parliaments being likely to be determined, or adjour­ned before the Sheriffs and other Officers, who unduly returned them, can be summoned, and witnesses pro­duced thence to prove the abuses or injustice of such E­lections: so that any persons thence returned by those in [Page 413] power, though never elected, or very unduly through favour, power, or corruption of Officers, shall sit and vote as Members, whilst those who were duly chosen and entrusted by the people, shall be secluded and left without relief.

4 Because Scotland and Ireland, See my Ar­gument of the case of the Lord Ma­guire. though united to England, alwaies were, and yet are distinct Realms and Republicks, never incorporated into England, or its Par­liament, as natural proper Members thereof: they all having by their own Fundamental Laws, Statutes, Cu­stomes, Rights, Priviledges, their peculiar proper Par­liaments, Peers, Knights, Citizens, Burgesses, Courts, Iudicatures, Councils, and Iudges distinct, divi­ded from, and not intercommoning with one another. The Peers, Lords, Knights, Citizens, Burgesses of Eng­land having no place, voice, nor right of Session in the Parliaments of Scotland or Ireland, though in many things subordinate to the Parliaments of England, and subject to Acts of Parliament made in them, and the Lords, Peers, Citizens, Burgesses of the Parliaments of Scotland, and Ireland, being no Lords, Peers, Knights, Citizens or Burgesses at all in England or its Parliaments, being distinct from theirs, and summoned unto their own Parliament onely, as I shall hereafter manifest in its due place. This is evident not onely by the distinct printed Laws and Statutes of England, Scotland, and Ire­land, and those Historians, who have written of them (especially Holinshed, Bucana [...], and Mr. Cambden) but likewise by Mr. Seldens Titles of Honour, p. 2. c. 5, 6, 7, Cooks 4 Institutes, ch. 1. 75, 76. Cooks 7 Reports, Cal­vins case. The Statute of 1 Iacobi, ch. 1, 2, 3. Iacobi, c. 3, 4. Iacobi, ch. 1. 7. Iacobi, ch. 1. which fully confirm and establish the distinct Parliaments, Rights, Laws, Li­berties, Customes, Iurisdictions, Iudicatures of the Realm [...] of England, and Scotland.

5. Because the calling and admission of Scotish Knights, Citizens, Burgesses, or Peers unto the Parlia­ments of England, and giving them a voice and Legisla­tive [Page 414] power therein, both in Relation to England, Scot­land and Ireland, though united under one King and Soveraign Lord, is diametrically contrary, First, to all these recited Acts, and the Propositions, proceedings men­tioned in them, referred to the consideration and deter­mination of the Parliaments of both Realms, as separate and distinct from each other, and not incorporated into one body, Realm, or Parliament; whose peculiar di­stinct Rights, Jurisdictions, Powers, Parliaments, are since that in precise terms confirmed and perpetuated, without any union or incorporation into one undivided body politique. Secondly, Because it is expresly contra­dictory to the late Act of 17. Caroli, passed, ratified in and by the Parliaments of both Kingdome, for the con­firmation of the Treaty of Pacification between the two Kingdomes of England and Scotland. Wherein the Com­missioners deputed by the Parliament of Scotland, to treat with the Commissioners appointed by the King and Parliament of England, for the saving of the Rights of Scotland, that the English might not claim any joynt right or interest with the Scots, in the things that con­cerned their Parliaments, or Kingdome, in their papers of the 7. of August 1641. did declare and make known, that although they were fully assured that the Kingdome and Parliament of England, was for the present far from any thought of usurpation over the Kingdome and Parlia­ment of Scotland, or their Laws and Liberties, yet for preventing the misunderstanding of posterity, and of strangers, and for satisfying the scruples of others not acquainted with the nature of this Treaty, and the manner of their proceedings, which may arise upon their comming into England, and their treating in time of Parliament: That neither by our treaties with the English,, nor by seeking our Peace to be established in Parliament, nor any other action of ours, do wee acknowledge any dependence up­on them, or make them Iudges to us or our Laws, or any things that may import the smallest prejudice to our Liber­ties. But that wee come in a free and brotherly way, by our [Page 415] Informations to remove all doubts that may arise concerning the proceedings of our Parliament, and to joyn our endea­vours in what may conduce for the peace and good of both Kingdomes, no otherwise than if by occasion of the Kings Re­sidence in Scotland, Commissioners in the like Exigence, should be sent thither from England. Thirdly, It is point­blank against the solemn League and Covenant, ratified and confirmed in the most sacred and publick manner, The 3 Article whereof, taken with hands lifted up to heaven, and subscribed by the Parliaments of both Kingdomes, and all others well-affected in both Realms, doth thus preserve the distinct Priviledges of the Parliaments of both Realms, in these words. We shall with the same sinceri­ty, reality, and constancy in our several vocations, endeavour with our estates and lives, mutually to preserve the Rights and Priviledges of the Parliaments, and the Liberties of the Kingdomes of England and Scotland; which are like­wise distinguished from each other in every other Ar­ticle, the Prologue and Conclusion of the League and Co­vena [...]t, and all Ordinances that confirm it. 4. As if this were not sufficient; it is directly contrary to theA Collection of Ordinances, p. 877, 878. Declaration of the Commons of England assembled in Parliament, 17, April, 1646. of their true intention inviolably to main­tain the Ancient and Fundamental Government of the Kingdome, by King, Lords and Commons, the Govern­ment of the Church, securing the people against all ar­bitrary Government, and maintaining a right understand­ing between the two Kingdomes of England, and Scotland, according to the Covenant and Treaties; To the Com­mons printed Answers to the Scots Commissioners Papers 28 of November 1646. Yea to the Lords and Commons Houses joynt Declaration, the 29. of Iune 1646. In all which theySee the In­dependency of England, by Henry Martin, 1628. do professedly declare, assert, argue, resolve, the absolute Independency, distinct Rights, Iurisdictions of the Kingdomes and Parliaments of England and Scotland, from the very Articles of the solemn League and Cove­nant, and Treaties between both Kingdomes, and other E­vidences, grounds, reasons, positively asserting, That the [Page 416] Parliament and Kingdome of England is, and ought to bee the sole and proper Iudge of what may bee for the good of this Kingdome; and that the Kingdome and Parliament of Scotland, neither have, nor ought to have any joynt-concur­rent share or interest with them therein, nor right of joynt-exercise of interest in disposing the person of the King in the Kingdome of England. And that the self-same liberty and priviledge alwaies had been admitted, and ever shall bee carefully and duly observed by them and the Parliament and Kingdome of England, to the Kingdome and Parlia­ment of Scotland in all things that concern that Kingdome; And that it was not the intention of the Lords and Commons in the Parliament of England, nor of the Commissioners of the Parliament of Scotland, in sending Propositions to the King, in the name, and in the behalf of both Kingdomes, by joynt-consent, that any construction should be made there­from, as if either Kingdome had any interest in each others Propositions, or in the Legislative Power of each other con­cerning any of the said Propositions; but that it remaineth distinct in each Kingdome and Parliament respectively. And that notwithstanding any joynt-proceedings upon the said Propositions, either Kingdome hath power of themselves to continue, repeal, or alter any Law that shall be made upon the said Propositions for the good and government of either King­dome respectively. And both Houses did therein declare, that they are fully resolved to maintain, and preserve in­violable the solemn League and Covenant, and the Trea­ties between the Kingdomes of England and Scotland. Now the calling and incorporating of Scotish and Irish Peers, Knights, Citizens, and Burgesses into the Parliaments of England, as Members, Voters, Legislators, together with the English, to oblige both England, Scotland, and Ireland, against the ancient, unquestionable, distinct, fundamental Rights, Priviledges of the Kingdomes, Parliaments, people, both of England, Scotland, and Ireland (all whose Parliaments, Rights, Priviledges, Li­berties, will be totally subverted by it as well as our Eng­lish) is so contradictory, so repugnant to, and inconsistent [Page 417] with all and every of these recited Acts, Ordinances, De­clarations, clauses of the solemn League and Covenant, to the Great Charter of King Iohn, all ancient Writs of Summons to English, Irish or Scotish Parliaments, all Acts for Electing Kn [...]ghts, Burgesses, and concerning Parlia­ments formerly established in all these three Kingdomes, as distinct, that no conscientious Heroick Englishman, Scot, or Inhabitant of Ireland, who cordially affects the honour, maintenance, preservation of his own native Countries, Kingdomes, or Parliaments fundamental Rights, Priviledges, Liberties, or makes conscience of violating the Articles of this solemn League and Covenant hee hath formerly taken, and subscribed in the presence of Almighty God, Angels and Men, with this protestation; wee shall not suffer our selves directly or indirectly by what­soever combinatien, perswasion or terror to be divided or withdrawn from it, either by making defection to the contra­ry part, or by giving our selves to a detestable indifferency or neutrality; but shall all the daies of our lives constantly continue therein against all opposition, and promote the same according to our Power against all Lets and Impe­diments whatsoever; and this wee shall do in the sight and presence of Almighty God, the searcher of all hearts, with a true intention to perform the same, as wee shall answer the contrary at the great day, when the secrets of all hearts shall be disclosed; can ever in conscience, justice, reason, policy or prudence submit thereto, but is bound to oppose and resist with all his power, for the premised Rea­sons.

6. Because the proportioning and distribution of the thirty persons to be elected for Scotland, and the thirty others for Ireland, and incorporating of these sixty Scotish and Irish Knights, Citizens, and Burgesses into the Par­liaments of England, was not projected, effected, ap­proved, ratified by the free, full, and joynt-consents of the respective Parliaments of England, Scotland, and Ire­land, but onely by about twenty or thirty Army-Officers, in a private Cabinet Conventicle, at Whitehall, without [Page 418] yea against their privities, and consents, by their Instru­ment of Government, which they then published, 16 De­cemb. 1653. Artic. 9, 10, 11. having not the least sha­dow of any Legal Power or Authority, to oblige our 3 distinct Kingdomes, Nations, Parliaments, much less to subvert and abolish them, by new melting them into one body, contrary to their very fundamental Laws, Con­stitutions, Rights, Priviledges, to their grand prejudice and dishonour. Therefore there is no reason for either of them to submit and conform thereto. The rather, because this Instrument was never ratified by any, but opposed by every publick Convention, since its publication, yea totally set aside (if ever valid) by the last of them, in and by this clause of their humble Petition and Advice, Artic. 3, 4. That the number of persons to be elected and chosen to sit and serve in Parliament for England, Scotland, and Ire­land, and distribution of the persons so chosen, within the Counties, Cities, and Burroughs of them respectively, may be according to such proportions as shall be agreed in this pre­sent Parliament: which agreed nothing concerning the same: And both the Instrument and Advice being now set aside by those in present power, by issuing Writs for e­lecting Knights, Citizens, and Burgesses throughout England, according to the ancient Laws, Usage, Cu­stome, and not according to the Instrument or Advice, by which the English and Commons House are now remit­ted to their old Parliamentary Rights & Priviledges. They are obliged upon all these Reasons, Authorities, and Con­siderations, henceforth to seclude all Scotish and Irish Knights, Citizens, Burgesses, or Peers, from sitting or vo­ting amongst them as Members, and ought to treat with them onely as Delegates or Commissioners sent from both Nations touching such affairs as particularly relate to Scotland and Ireland, according toOrdinatio, pro stabilitate terrae Scotiae, cl. 33. E. 1. dorse 13. Cedu­la. Rustal Par­tition. 2. 1. Jac. c. 2. 16.

[Page 419] 7. Because the thrity persons to be chosen for Scotland, and the other thirty for Ireland, and the several Coun­ties, Cities, and Borroughs within the same, to repre­sent and oblige both these Kingdomes and Nations, as their Representativees and Attornies, are not to be elected by the generality of both Kingdomes, as in justice, rea­son, equity they ought to be, but by such as the Major part of the Council at Whitehall shall prescribe, as the 9th. Article in the Instrument declares, some whole Counties, and eminent Cities in both Kingdomes, hav­ing no voices at all in the Elections of these Members, and therefore not to be obliged by them, as 44. E. 3. f. 19. 11. H. 7. 14. 21. H. 7. 40. 23, H. 8. Br. Lert. 27. 7. H. 6. 35. 6. Dyer 373. b. resolve. This being a general Rule in Law, Justice, Reason, inserted into the very Writs of Summons to Parliament, Claus. 24. E. 1. m. 7. dorso (here) p. 6. Ut quod omnes tangit ab omnibus approb [...] ­tur. And the sole reason why Acts of Parliament oblige all those who send Knights and Burgesses to them, and not tenants in Ancient Demesn, is onely this, because they assent unto them, in and by their representatives, as the Statute of 1 Iac. c. 1. 4. H. 7. 10. Brooke Parliament, 25. 27. 41. Ash Parliament, 10. and Proclamation, 39. and the Law-books Authorities there collected to this purpose determine.

8. In the See Mr. Rushworths Historical Collections. p. 237. Parliament of a Caroli, the Lords Spiri­tual and Temporal then in Parliament assembled, exhibited this Petition to the King: That whereas they heretofore in civility as to strangers yeelded precedency according to their several degrees unto such Nobles of Scotland and Ireland, as being in Titles above them, have resorted hither; Now divers of the natural born Subjects of these Kingdomes re­sident here with their families, and having their estates a­mong us, do by reason of some late created dignities in those Kingdomes of Scotland and Ireland, claim precedency of the Peers of this Realm, which tends both to the disservice of your Majesty, a [...]d to the di [...]paragement of the English No­ [...]ility, as by these Reasons may appear.

[Page 420] 1. It is a nobelty without President, that men should in­herit honours where they possess nothing else.

2. It is injurious to those Countries from whence their Titles are derived, that they should have a vo [...]e in Parlia­ment where they have not a foot of Land, &c. Upon the con­sideration of which inconveniencies they humbly beseeched his Majesty, that an order might be timely setled therein to prevent the inconvenience to his Majesty, and redress the prejudice and disparagement to the Peers and Nobility of this Kingdome occasioned thereby, which the King promi­sed to do. And is it not a far greater inconvenience, pre­judice and disparagement to the Nobility, Gentry, and Parliaments of England, yea a greater Novelty and In­jury than this they then petitioned against, not only for the Nobility, but for the very Knights, Citizens, Burges­ses, of Scotland, and Ireland, to sit with, and take place of the ancient Peers, Knights, Citizens, and Burgesses of England, according to their several Titles, and to enjoy an equal vote, judicature, priviledge with them in every particular, in the very Parliaments of England, which they never formerly did, though they have not one foot of Land in England, nor the English any vote of place in their Parliaments? No doubt it is. There­fore as fit to be timely redressed, as that grievance, upon the self-same grounds, being more universal, prejudicial and dishonourable to the whole English Peerage, Parlia­ment and Nation, than this which concerned the Eng­lish Peers alone, and that onely out of Parliament.

9. This number of Members sent from Scotland and Ireland to the Parliaments of England, holds no just not equal proportion or distribution with the numbers of Members, which they formerly elected and sent to their own respective Parliaments, in Scotland and Ireland, as is evident by the Irish Statutes of 18, E. 4. c. 2. 10. H. 7. c. 16, 38. H. 8. c. 12. 33. H. 8. c. 1. Cookes 4. Iustit. c. 75, 76. and Regiam Majestatem, nor yet in reference to the number of the Members and Parliament-men in Eng­land, being near ten to one to the Members of both these [Page 421] Nations conjoyned, which inequality upon all occasi­ons may prove very prejudicial to them both.

10. It will be an extraordinary grievance, oppression, expence, vexation, mischief, delay and obstruction of Justice to all the Inhabitants of Scotland and Ireland, not onely to bear the Expences of all the Members they send to the Parliaments of England, but to be enforced to re­sort unto them in person, together with their Witnesses, Evidences, and Council, for all grievances, oppressions, injuries, errors, complains and misdemeans in Officers or Courts of Justice formerly redressed, and remediable onely in their own proper Parliaments, much nearer home, and now only to be heard, examined, redressed, determined in the Parliaments of England, as the Claus. Roll. of 39. E. 3. M. 12. De erroribus corrigendis in Par­liament is tenend is in Hibernia (printed in my Epistle to my Argument of the case of the Lord Mag [...]re) most fully and excellently resolves: And the multitudes of com­plaints, out of all three Kingdomes will prove so great in every Parliament, that it will be impossible to hear and determine the moity of them at any one Session or Par­liament, and the attendance will prove so tedious to all or most, that it will become a greater grievance to them than any they complain of, and if they gain any relief, it will be in effect, a Remedy as bad or worse, as the dis­eas [...] it cures: Yea an express violation of Magna Charta. ch. 29. Nulli negabimus, nulli differemus justitiam aut rectum: Finally, This patching of New Scotish and Irish Members into our old English Parliament, will be so farre from uniting and contenting the three Nations and Par­liaments in one, that it will discontent and disunite them more than before, and make the rent the greater upon every occasion, as Christ himself resolves, with whose words I shall close up this observation:Mark. 2. 21. No man seweth or putteth a peece of new Cloth upon an old Garment,Luk. 5. 36.else the new peece that filleth it up, taketh away from the old, and agreeth not with the old, and the rent is made worse.

5. That as the Writs of the Common Law, are the [Page 422] foundations whereon the whole Law, and subsequent pro­ceedings do depend, as De Legi­bus & consue­tudini, Regni Angliae. Glanvil, Lib. 5. Bracton, Cap. 48. Britton, Lib 2. c. 12. Fleta heretofore,Prae [...]ace to Na [...]. Brevium. Fitzherbert, D [...]gest of Writs. Thelwell, 1. Instit. f. 73. b. Sir Edward Cook, and others of later times resolve; upon which account if the Writs be vicious, erronious, invalid, illegal, or null in Law, they abate, vitiate, and annihilate the whole Process, Declarations, and Struotures grounded on them, as Britton. c. 48. Statham. Fitzherbert, Brock, Thelwel, Ash Title, Brief, Abate­ment de Brief & Errour. all our Law-Books assert; So the Writs of Summons to Parliaments and Great Councils are the very foundations, and corner-stones whereon our Par­liaments, Great Councils, and all their Votes, Judge­ments, Proceedings, Acts, Ordinances do depend. Therefore if they be defective, erronious, invalid, ille­gal, insufficient, or null in themselves, the Parliaments and Great Councils convened by, founded on them, with all their Iudgements, Proceedings, Acts, Ordinances, must of necessity be so likewise, as the Statutes of 1. Hen. 4. c. 3. 21. R. 2. c. 1. 39. 8. H. 6. c. 1. H. 8. c. 1. 17. E. 4. 5. 7. 1. H. 4. rot. Parl. n. 1. 66. 1. E. 4. rot. Parl. n. 8: to 17. 1. H. 7. c. 9. 27. H. 8. c. 24. in England, largely evidence, and the Statute of 10. H. 7. c. 27. in Ireland, determines; repealing a Parliament holden at Drogheda before Sir Ro­bert Preston, decreed and deemed void to all Intents, by the Kings Council in Ireland.

1. Because the Duke of Bedford, Lieutenant of Ireland, (by whose Deputy it was summoned and held) surren­dred his Patent of Lieutenancy before the said Parliament summoned.

2. Because there was no general summons of the said Parliament, to all the Shires, but onely to four Shires.

3. Because the said Deputy had no m [...]nner of Power by his Commission to summon or kéep a Parliament: For the which causes it was ordained and enacted, that the Parlia­ment to holden be deemed void, and of none effect, by the whole Parliament of Ireland, Anno 10. H. 7. And the Parliament of 18. E. 4. ch. 2. in Ireland, touching the Election of Knights and B [...]rgesses, further manifests it.

6. That the summoning (as likewise pro [...]guing, [Page 423] adjourning, dissolving) of all Parliaments and Great Councils in England and Ireland, is a peculiar inseparable royal Prerogative, belonging onely to the Kings of England, and incommunicable to any other person or persons, yea to Parliaments themselves, which cannot appoint a succeed­ing Parliament to be called but by the Kings consent, and that (though appointed to be held at a prefixed day and place) to beHere p. [...]3.summoned only by the Kings Writ. That all Writs of Summons and Prorogation alwaies issued, and of right ought to be iss [...]ed onely in the Kings name, stile, autho­rity, whether absent out of, or present within the Realm, whether within age, or of ripe years, and that by his special Commands alone, or his and his Councils joynt precept, as the stile, name, contents of all prece­dent and subsequent Writs; the subscriptions under them, Per ipsum Regem, per ipsum Regem & Consilium, per ipsum Regem, Custodem & Consilium (in the Kings absence) per breve de privato sigi [...]o, &c. the stile, tenor of all Writs, De expensis Militum & Burgen sium, the Statutes of 5.

Caroli, for preventing of inconveniences happening by the long inter­mission of Parliaments, Cooks 4. Institutes, ch. 1. and all who have written of our English Parliaments, abun­dantly evidence and resolve beyond contradiction. Hence our lateSee Mr. Rushworth his Historical Col­lections, p. 4 10, &c. King Charles, in his Declaration of the causes of assembling and diss [...]lving the two last Parlia­ments, Iune 13. 2. Caroli, affirms, That the calling, ad­journing, proroguing, and dissolving of Parliaments, do pe­culiarly belong unto himself by an undoubted Prerogative inseparably uniied to his impertal Crown, and the Statute of 16. Caroli. c. 1. made by the unanimous consent of both Houses declares, That by the Laws and Statutes [Page 424] of this Realm, the appointment of the time and place for the holding of Parliaments, and the summoning of them (by Writ in the Kings Name) hath alwaies belonged, as it ought, to his Majesty, and his royal Progenitors, and none else.

7. That the Kings of England, have as true, full, re­al and legal an haereditary right, Title, Interest, Propriety in and to the Parliament, as they have in and to the Kingdome and Crown of England, as these Clauses in all their Writs of Summons, Prorogations of Parlia­ments, issued to the spiritual and temporal Lords, Kings Counsil, Sheriffs, and Warden of the Cinque­ports resolve; Ordinavimus quoddam Parliamentum no­strum, &c. tenere: In ultimo Parliamento nostro; post ultimum Parliamentum nostrum, sitis ad nos ad Parliamentum no­strum, and the like; compared with Statum Regni nostri Angliae: Et cum Praelatis & Proceribus Regni nostris sicut commodum Regni nostri Diligitis: Iura Coronae no­strae, &c. in the same Writs: The Writs de expensi: Militum & Burgensium; The Titles and Prologues of most printed Acts of Parliament: The Statutes of 8.

The like Commission I finde made to the same, Duke in the Parliamant Roll of 2. H. 6. n. 1. word for word, except in those additional words and clauses in the Commission it self. Nos de circumspectione, fidelitate & industria, &c. Eidem Avunculo nostro ad Parliamentum praedict. nomine nostro inchoand. negociaque praedicta ex­ponend. ac declarand. ac exponi & declarari faciend. necnon in negociis illis, & Parliamento praedicto, ac omnibus & singulis in eo emergentibus procede [...]d, &c.

Dantes, &c. Ut supra: with the like in other Parliaments, during this Kings Minority, and in 33 H. 6. rot. Parl. n. 30.

It is observeable, that none of these Custodes Regni, or Protectors, had any power given them to summon or hold Parliaments in their own Names, or by their own inherent Authority as Protectors; nor to create new Peers or Barons of the Realm, by Writs or Patents, for ought I finde, the very words of their Patents, and theExact A­bridgement of the Records in the Tower, p. 564, 568, 869, 592, 658.

Scripture and New Testament it self, in express terms resolve; The King alone, to be the Supream Magistrate: So the Common and Statute [Page 430] Laws, Lawyers, Writs, Records, and Parliaments of England, have alwaies hitherto, resolved, declared, pro­claimed (as Bracton, l. 1. c. 8. l. 3. c. 16. f. 134. l. 3. c. 3. 9.

The Prologues of all ancient Par­liaments, and the very words of the Oathes of Suprema­cy and Allegiance, (prescribed to all Members of the Common House, Judges, Justices, Officers, Barristers, Attornies, Sheriffs, Graduates, Ministers and School­Masters by our Parliaments) abundantly evidence;) The King of England alone (not the Custos Regni, Protector, nor any other person whatsoever, nor the Pope himself) to be the onely Supream Governour, Head, Magistrate of the Realm of England, and the Dominions thereunto an­nexed, and that in and over all spiritual and ecclesiasti­cal persons, things, causes, as well as temporal, without recognizing any other Soveraign Lord, Governour, Ma­gistrate, for ought I finde in History or Record.

10. That the causes of summoning and proroging all Parliaments ought to be generally or particularly ex­pressed in the Writs of Summons and Prorogation, to­gether with the precise daies whereon, and places where­in they are to meet upon the Summons or Prorogation; that so all may know [...]ertainly at what time and place to meet. That the daies and places of their meeting and prorogation, were absolutely in the power of our Kings, who varied them according to emergent occa­sions, and the places of their necessary residence. For in­stance; When the wars or affairs of Scotland drew our Kings and Nobles towards the Northern parts, they u­sually summoned or prorogued their Parliaments to York, Karlisle, Newcastle, Stanford, Lincolne, Leycester, Northampton, Cambridge, Stainford, Conventry, Not­tingham. [Page 431] When the wars and businesses of France cal­led them towards the South, they frequently summon­ed their Parliaments, to Winton, Salisbury, Southampton, Canterbury. When the wars or negotiations of Wales or Ireland occasioned their removal towards them, they convened their Parliaments at Gloucester, Worce­ster, Salop, Hereford, Bristol, Oxford, or Malborough. But most usually they were summoned and prorogued to Westminster or London, as the center and Metropolis of the Realm, and the most indifferent and convenient place of meeting, as the Writs of Summons and Proro­gation attest.

11. That for the most part all Writs of Summons and Prorogation both to the spiritual and temporal Lords, Kings Counsil, Sheriffs of Counties, and War­dens of the Cinque-ports, have the self-same Teste, date, Prologues; yet now and then some of them, are diffe­rent in their dates, yet very rarely in their recitals. That there is frequently a different space of daies and times be­tween the dates of the Writs of Summons and Resum­mons upon Writs of Prorogation, and the daies of the first meeting of the Parliaments, and Great Councils to which they are summoned and elected, as you may ea­sily discern by comparing them; there being sometimes two months space or more, sometimes fifty daies, but usually forty daies, or more (according to the Charter of King Iohn) between the date of the Writs and daies of appearance in Parliaments, and Grand Councils. Yet in cases of extream necessity, upon sudden unexpected dangers, I finde two Parliaments summoned to meet within the space of forty daies; as inHen. p. 31. Claus. 4 E. 3. d. 19. Where there was onely two and thirty daies between the date of the Writ and Parliament, which being un­usual, there is an express clause in the Writs, that it should not be drawn into consequence for the future: So in 28 Eliz. the Writ bore date the 15th. of September, and the Parliament was to begin the 15th. of October following, but thirty daies after. All other Writs (to [Page 432] my best remembrance) these two excepted, having at least forty daies between the Teste, and daies of ap­pearance, that so the Members might have competent time to prepare themselves to repair to Parliaments and Great Councils after their Summons and Elections.

12. That in ancient times our Parliaments and Great Councils were more frequently summoned to meet and See p, 7, 10, 11, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 24, 27, 30, 63, 64, 162, 164, 168, 169, 171. 343, 348, &c. appear on the Lords Day, than on any other day of the week; which abuse in succeeding times was reformed and quite discontinued even in times of Popery, as well as since the reformation of Religion.

13. That our Kings upon extraordinary publick dangers, and other occasions, may summon Parliaments, Great Councils, Convocations as often as they think meet: That they were anciently summoned once or twice every year at least (and some times thrice, four or five times in one year) according to the ancient Constitution in the.Beda Ec­cles. Hist. l. 4. c 5. Spelman­ni Concil. p. 153. Council at Hereford, Anno 673. Can. 7. The Law ofHorne [...] Myrrour. p. 1. Cooks 1. In­stit. f. 110. [...].King Alfred, Rotul.

14. That the more weighty, difficult, pressing, ur­gent the occasions and dangers were of summoning Par­liaments the See p. 13, 14, 19, 21, 27, 28, 44, 177. more importunate, vehement, urgent, mandatory, minatory, and compulsary, were the expres­sions, mandates, clauses in the Writs of Summens for the Lords and Commons personal appearance and atten­dance, without admitting any excuses, or procurations, and not to depart from them without special licence.

15. That when any publick weighty businesses in­tended to be propounded, dispatched in one Parlia­ment or Great Council, by reason of other businesses, or shortness of time, could not be propounded or con­cluded, therein; thereuponSee p. 27, 28, 29, 32, 41, 43, 177. another Parliament or Council was soon after called to dispatch it, the day and place whereof was sometimes appointed in and by the Parliament next preceding before its dissolution.

[Page 433] 16. That though anciently before the word Parlia­mentum came in use among our Ancestors, Great Councils were the same in substance with Parliaments; yet since the summoning of Knights, Citizens, Bu [...] ­gesses and Barons of the Ports to Parliaments, and the insertion of Parliamentum, into the Writs of Summons and Statutes, you may ob [...]erve some differences See p. 19, 20, [...]4, 30, 38, 39, 40, 4 [...], 48, 52, 57, 62, 63, 174, 187, to 192. be­tween Parliaments and Councils, and the Writs of Sum­mons to them, which are frequently distinguished in the margin of the Clause Rolls; by this different entry; Summunitio Parliamenti, De veniendo ad Parliamentum, &c. & Summonitio Concllil, de veniendo ad Concilium, &c. The principal differences between them are these.

1. That many Bishops, Abbots and Nobles are usu­ally omitted in the Summons to Councils, which were u­sually summoned to Parliaments, and seldome omitted in the summons to them, unless absent in forraign parts.

2. That many persons were summoned to Councils, which wee never finde summoned to Parliaments.

3. That there is no Clause of Praemunientes in the Writs of Summons to Councils issued to Archbishops, and Bishops, to summon their Chapters, Deans, Archdea­cons, and Clergy of their Diocess; as there is usually in their Writs of Summons to Parliaments.

4. That Writs of Summons to Councils, issued to the Lords & Great men are seldome accompanied with any Writs of Election for Knights, Citizens, Burgesses and Barons of Ports issued to Sheriffs, or the Warden of the Cinqueports; as Writs of Summons to Parliaments are; and if any Knights, Citizens or Burgesses be summoned to them, it is in a different manner and number, than when they were summoned to Parliaments.

5. Writs of Summons to Parliaments are usually accompanied with Writs of Summons to the Kings Counsils, but those to Councils are never attended with such Writs, distinct from those is­sued to the spiritual and temporal Lords, as Writs of [Page 434] Summons to Parliaments are.

If our Kings had then so great a care, that neither of these two Prelates, nor their successors, nor any other of his officers or subjects by their instigation, should interrupt or disturbe each other about this great controversie of Crosse-bearing within each others Pro­vince, in coming to, residing at, or returning to any Parliaments to which our Kings and their heires should legally summon them; nor seclude each other from sitting in them upon any pretence or difference between them; Then by the self same reason, all other lawfull Members both of the Lords and Commons House, ought to enjoy the self same Protection, Privi­ledge, Freedome, immunity, and no wayes to be inter­rupted, molested, disturbed by any other Officers, Sub­jects, Persons or Members whatsoever from freely repai­ring to, residing in, or returning from our Parliaments; much lesse to be forcibly secluded out of them by ar­med guards, new oaths, or popular tumults; Neither may, can, ought the House of Commons alone, nor any prevailing party in it, to exclude, eject any duly ele­cted, returned Member, once admitted, without any Legall accusation, tryal, cause at all; nor yet for be­traying of his trust, or misdemeaning himself as a Member after his election, nor for any real offence as a Member, without and against the Kings and Lords concurrent Judgments and assents, (in whom alone the power of Iudicature resides in such as well as in all other causes, as I haveMy Plea for the Lords, p. 371. to 419. elsewhere evidenced by unanswe­rable Presidents and the rules of right reason) he be­ing summoned only by the Kings Writ and authority, impowred, trusted by his electors only, as their peculiar Trustee, Atturney (not his fellow Knights, Citizens, Burgesses) to do and assent to such things as shall be ordain­ed [Page 439] by the King, Nobles and Common Counsell of the Realme, touching the weighty publike affairs of the King and King­doms, and obliged antiently by Manucaptors, and since by their Indentures of retorn, See Cooks 4.

See my Ardua Regni.

20. That if the forcible seclusion or disturbance of any Lord, or Member of the Lords House duly sum­moned, who ought of right to sit, vote in the Lords House, be so great a breach of Priviledge, Injury, as I have evidenced, then the forcible suppression, se­clusion of all the ancient Peers and House of Lords, by any real or pretended Members of the late House of Commons, contrary to the expresse Clauses, Formes of all ancient Writs, and the very writs in 16. Caro­li, without any legal jurisdiction, hearing, triall, must needs be a greater breach of trust, Priviledge, In­justice in them, fit to be redressed for the future peace, Justice, settlement of our distracted Nations, and restoring our Parliaments to their pristine Splen­dour, Honour, ends, uses, for the redressing of all pub­lick Grievances.

If any Republicans,Objection. Army Officers, New Grandees, or others, here object, as some now do; That it will be both perillous and inconvenient to the Subjects, the House of Commons and its Members, to restore the an­cient Lords and House of Peers to their pristine Rights, Priviledges, Jurisdiction, Judicature over them, in that latitude I have asserted, evidenced it by Histories and Records in my Plea for them, without prescribing some new just bounds and regulations unto them by the Commons House.

I answer.Answer. 1. That the Lords being the only original ancient Members of our Great Councils, Parliaments, ma­ny hundreds of years before any Knights, Citizens, [Page 441] Burgesses, or House of Commons were called, admitted to them by the King and House of Lords, and receiving no power, Judicature or Jurisdiction at all from the Commons, but what they have of right enjoyed, exer­cised in all precedent ages, without the least complaint, opposition or contradiction of the Commons in any former Parliaments before 17. Caroli; The Commons have no more authority, right, reason, [...]urisdiction to limit, or restrain this their ancient right, Judicature, Priviledge (much lesse to abrogate) then the Grand or Petty Jury have to limit, regulate the Judges or Justices Commissions, Authority on the Bench; or the Tenants the Jurisdiction of their Lords Courts, or every Committee of the Commons House, the Ex­cesses of the House it self; or the Unparliamentary Iuncto, which voted them down and engaged against them, without the least colour of Jurisdiction, Law, reason, hearing, impeachment, triall, had to usurp such a transcendent power over them, not to be para­lelld in any age, nor now approved by assenting to it.

2ly. That the old Lords and House of Peers in no cases ever exercised such an exorbitant, arbitrary, ty­rannicall Jurisdiction, Illegall power in all kinds, as the Commons House, and every of their Committees and Sub-Committees of Examinations, Sequestrations, Composi­tions, Sale of Delinquents estates, Crown Lands, Obstru­ctions, Appeales, Scandalous Ministers, and High Courts of Iustice have done, without the least Report to the House it self of their proceedings, both over the King and his Posteritie; the Peers of the Realme, their fellow Members, (secluded, secured, imprisoned, close imprisoned, ejected, exiled by them without any cause or hearing at all) and their fellow Com­moners of all sortsExact Collection, p. 321. deprived of their Inheri­tances, Estates, Offices, Liberties, Callings, Lives, and the benefit of the Lawes themselves, for not taking their new Oathes and Engagements, contrary to Law, and their former legall Oathes, Leagues and [Page 442] Solemn Covenant and Protestation, w [...]hout a legal Indictment, or trial by a Jurie of their equalls, or wit­nesses viva voce upon Oath, since their slighting, sup­pressing of the old House of Lords; who should have restrained, reformed these their unparallelld extrava­gancies, which I could prove by hundreds of sad In­stances, and have briefly hinted in my [...]lea for the old Lords, page 413. to 419. For which very reason they ought now to be restored;Exact Col­lection, p. 321. being an excellent Bank and Screen between the Prince and People, to assist each against any encroachments on the other, and by just judgements to preserve that Law, which ought to be the Rule between every one of the three, and trusted with a Iudicatory power to this very end.

3ly. Some of those very Members of the late Commons House, Army, and Whitehall, who would disseise them of their House, Privileges, Birthrights, and antient Iuris­diction, before they took upon them the Title of Lords, or of the House of Lords, as pretended Members of the Commons House, a little before and since their votes a­gainst the old House of Lords; as Committees of that House; or Commissioners in their new [...]rected High Courts of Iustice, Members of the Counsil of State at White-Hall, or Counsil of Army-Officers; or Major Generals, and De­puty Major Generals, have acted a thousand, times more exorbitantly, arbitrarily, tyrannically to the sub­version of the Fundamental Laws, Liberties, proper­ties, Government, Justice of the Nation, oppressing, improverishing, vexing, dishinheriting, destroying, en­slaving of the Freemen of England, than ever any old Lords, or House of Lords, or Kings of England in Parlia­ment heretofore did in any age whatsoever; Witness their usurpations of a more than absolute Parliamen­tarie power to themselves, by their own Votes, Or­ [...]ers, Declarations alone, to alter, new model (over and over) the whole frame of our Parliaments, Laws, and publike Government; their electing Knights, Citi­zens, Burgesses for what they stiled a Parliament, with­out [Page 443] the least privity or election of the people; their dissolving, & declaring the long Parliament to be dissol­ved, against an expresse Act of Parliament; their repealing many old Lawes, Acts, Oathes, enacting new Lawes contrary to them; creating New Treasons and misprision of Treasons; yea imposing heavy, exces­sive New Taxes, Customes, See their Whitehall Or­dinance of 24.

The Instructi­ons to the Ma­jor Generalls; My Summary Collection of the Funda­mental Rights Liberties, Pro­perties of all English Free­men. p. 53. to 64. Excises of all sorts, on the three Nations, not only in their private Westminster con­ventions, but by their Armie and Whitehall Ordinances (amounting to a large Folio Volume) without any Parliament or legall Act of Parliament; ordering them to be levyed, by fines, forfeitures, sales of the refusers reall and personal es [...]ates, imprisonments, soldiers quartering, and the like; Injoysing All Courts of Iustice, Iudges, Iustices, Sheriffs, Officers of this Commonwealth, Counsellors, Attornies, and other Persons, to con­form themselves accordingly without any opposition or dispute whatsoever; and committing their very Counsel to the Tower as Traytors or Grand Delinquents, only for arguing their Cases upon an Habeas Corpus in Westminster Hall, according to Law and their Du­ties; Their taking away the lives, liberties or estates, freeholds of thousands, without any legall Triall, or Indictment of their Peers; their banishing, confi­ning, imprisoning, close imprisoning hundreds, yea thousands at a time, upon meer fears and jealousies; and binding them and all their servants in excessive bonds with sureties; their disfranchising Maiors, Bailiffs, Aldermen, others in corporations; enforcing divers to release their legall actions, Judgements, Executions, and committing them at their pleasures till they did it, against the expresse tenour not only of the Grand Charter, Petition of Right, and other. Acts, but the very letter of the late Act; For preventing of Inconveniences, happening by the long intermission of Par­liaments, The Acts for the 3. first subsidies of Tonnage and Poundage; The Act for regulating the Privy Counsell, For declaring unlawfull and void the late proceedings touch­ing [Page 444] Ship-mony, and other Acts passed by some of their own Votes, in the Parliament of 16. and 17. Caroli, of which, or the like exorbitances, no ancient Peers, or House of Lords, were ever yet guilty. And if some of those persons who would usurp, or abridg the old Lords power have been so arbitrarie & tyrannical in all kinds, before they claimed the Title of Lords, or House of Lords, how exorbitant, in all probability, are they likely to grow in a short time, (having Command in the Armie, and other Courts) if they should be esta­blished in their new Lordly Power, and the old House of Lords put by, who should correct, restrain these their unparalelld Excesses for the whole Nations ease and benefit.

4. If these new Peers, be in truth, Law, Herauldry, no true or real Lords, Barons, Peers of the Realm by their Writs of Summons, for the premised reasons (but See p. 240. meerly imaginary, Titular and false ones, like those crea­ted by the usurper King Stephen;) then the House of Commons can neither in Law nor verity agree or assent to any thing that shall be ordained by them, ac­cording to the tenour of the Writs of Summons; nor establish any settlement that can be reputed legal or ob­ligatory to Posteritie, in a Parliamentary Way, if the ancient reall Peers and legal House of Lords be set aside and disowned. And therefore they must of necessity own, close with them alone, and remit them to their old hereditary right, else they can never make nor ex­pect any real lasting settlement of our distracted State and Government; and all they vote will quickly prove abortive, illegitimate; as the late New-models, Instru­ments, and Advices have done.

5ly. The setting aside the ancient Lords and House of Peers, and establishing their very Disseisors in their places, as the only future Lords and House of Peers: will both justifie all their recited Exorbitances, Excesses, Violences, & Tyrannical proceedings against the old Lords, their Fellow Commons, & others, (transcending Straffords, Caterburies and the worst old Counsel-Ta­ble [Page 445] Lords excesses by many degrees) & ratifie, yea reward, crown them with the highest publick Honour, Trust, Power they are capable of, even in Parliaments them­selves. Which will not onlie probably excite, encou­rage others in succeeding times, to the like dangerous extravagancies, excesses, to the publick prejudice and desolation; but animate them, when setled in their new Lordly Authority, to pursue their former practises, and turn greater Tyrants, Oppressors in all kinds then formerly they have been, to the utter ensla­ving of our Nations, and embroyling them in new Tumults. Yea, how farre it may tend to the Total and Final suppression of the Commons House it self in succeeding times, is worthy sad and serious consi­deration. For if the Commons House shall not onlie silently connive at, but openly approve and assent to the dissolving, suppressing of the old Lords and their House, by pretext of former illegall, unrighteous Votes (Ea quae contra leges siunt non so­lum inutilia, sed etiam pro infectis ha­benda sunt. Justin. Cod. l. 1. Tit. 22. Gratian, Caus. 25. qu. 2. meer nullities by all Lawes) made by a Fragment of a dissolved House of Commons, sitting under a force, not having the least Jurisdiction or power of Judicature over them, against all rules of Justice, the very fundamental Lawes of the Land, the undoubted Rights and Priviledges of Parliament, Prescription time out of mind, all old & late Acts, Records of Parl. their very Solemn League, Covenant, Protestation, and hundreds of late Declarations and Remonstrances to the contrary: They may justly fear, and well ex­pect by way of divine and human retaliation, that their very New erected House of Lords when once established, having the power of Judicature (if not of the Army) in them, to preserve themselves from the like Usurpations of the Commons over them in after ages, will upon the first opportunity, Vote down (by this their pre­sident) the whole House of Commons, and quite suppresse it for the future, as Vselesse, dangerous, factious, Tumul­ [...]uous, seditious, arbitrary, Tyrannicall, oppressive to the people, degenerated from its ancient duty, bounds moderation; [Page 446] as not onlyMr. John Rushworths Historical Collections, p. 43, 44, 47, 50, 51, 53, 57, 140, 151, 195, 360, 362, 365, 410, to 417, 643, 631, 672, &c.

H. 3. when (for ought appeares) the Commons were first admitted, and called unto Parliaments out of meer grace by the Kings Writs: Or at least the disinhe­rited ancient Nobility (in case they regain their pristine Rights of Session, Judicature in Parliament, without the Commons assistance, of which there is no abso­lute future improbability) may by way of Justice and retaliation, set the Commons House quite aside, for their late transcendent breaches, abuses of their Trusts to­wards them, in secluding, and voting them quite down, against their Writs, Indentures, Duties, Oathes; by which they have legally forfeited all their Priviledges and right of Parliamentary session, according to this received Maxime in all Lawes,Gratian, Causa 25. qu. 2. f. 493.

21. That the first and principle things specified in the Writs of summons, as the prime ends for which [Page 447] Parliaments are summoned, is to debate and consult of quaedam specialia & ardua negotia Nos, et Statum reg­ni nostri, et etiam Iura, Salvationem, et De­fensionem Coronae nostrae Regiae (as well as Regni nostri et Ecclesie Anglicanae) specialiter & intime contingentib [...]s.

Committees, High Courts of Iu­stice, Counsils of State, Major Generals, Excise-men, and other Officers have done; since their late Exorbitant Anti-parliamentary Vsurpations, Innovations, Proceedings, under the disguise and Notion of the Parliament of Eng­land, without A KING, & HOUSE OF LORDS, or the secluded MAIORITY OF THE COMMONS HOUSE it self; the forced absence, seclusion of all and everie of which 3. made them no real Parliament at all, but an Anti-Parliamentary Conventicle, and all their mi [...]intit­led Acts, Ordinances, meer Nullities both in Law and Conscience, fit to be enternally exploded by the whole English Nation, and all future new Parliaments, to prevent the like pernicious Extravagances in after ages, which have involved us in so manie various Mi­series, Warrs, Perplexities, Fears, Dangers, Oppres­sions, Factions, Troubles, Changes, Unsettlements, and Confusions, which, without Gods insinite mer­cie, presage nought else but total and final Desolation both to our Church, State, and Nations.

OurDyer, f. 60. a. Cooks 4 In­stit. p. 1. 3. Law-books resolve the Parliament to be a Corporati­on, consisting of the King as thief head, the Lords as the Superi­or, and the Commons as inferior Members, who ought mutually to preserve each others interests, and unite their counsells for the [Page 449] publike good, without any seisure or encroachment upon one ano­ther. For as there is nothing but giddiness, torture, distemper, consumption, restlesness, sickness, inactivity, maimedness, & confusion in the body natural, whiles the head, or chief joints, bones, parts of it are inverted, dislocated, fractured, severed, and kept out of joynt; and no other means left when thus di­storted, to restore it to rest, health, soundness, activitie, and prevent its dissolution by death, but with all speed and cate to restore every Member, bone, joynt to its proper place, po­sture, office, and preserve them from subsequent dislocations and fractures. So it hath been and will be with this body Politick: It will never be reduced to its pristine health, soundness, vigor, use, ends; or become medicinal, to settle or advance the publike weal of the Nation, till all its dislo­cated broken Members be restored to their due places and power in it, without which it will soon come to utter desola­tion, as 1. Cor. 12. 12, to 31. Gal. 5. 15. Mat. 12. 25. Isa 19. 2. 14, 15. Prov. 30. 21. 22, will assure all carnal Politicians who think the contrarie,

That as it was the prudence, policie, justice of our Parliaments, Nobles, Great men in former ages, not to vote, conclude, or enact any thing in Parliament, when any of their chief Members See Here, p. 28, 29, 31, 41, 43, 177. My Plea for the Lords, p. 23. to 30. 49 to 55. were absent, or not summoned, or re­strained from them, and to determine all Great Affairs in FULL PARLIAMENT: So it was also their special care to preserve the Jurisdiction of the Kings Courts of Common Law, as a chief right and flower of the Crown, and the antient Lawes and Customs of the Realm, against all incroachments upon them by Popes, Bishops, or anie others, as is evident by2 [...] H. 3. c. 9.
