sit and thereof report be make to  the house at a committee though it be of the whole house the yea go of one  side of the house and the Noah on the other whereby it will easy appear which  be the great number how parliament succeed not well in five case it be observe  by ancient parliament man out of record that parliament have not succeed well  in five case first when the king have be in displeasure with his lord or with  his Commons when any of the great lord be at variance between themselves when  there be no good correspondence between the lord and the Commons when there be  no unity between the Commons themselves when there be no preparation for the  parliament before it begin a for the so essential be the king good will  towards his Commons that it be one of the petition of the Commons to the king  that he will require the archbish all other of the clergy to pray for his  estate for the peace good government of the land for the continuance of the  king good will towards his Commons whereunto the thrice noble king assent with  these effectual word the same pray the king many time the like petition for  the lord b how the king in all his weighty affair have use the advice of his  lord Commons so great a trust confidence he have in they always provide that  both lord Commons keep they within the circle of the law custom of the  parliament c for the second at the parliament hold in Henry what variance be  there between the duke of gloc and the b of Winchester and their friend on  either side the success be that little be do in any parliamentary course at  that parliament and that little be of no moment d at the parliament hold in  the three year of Henry the great controversy be between John earl martial and  Richard earl of Warwick with like success e the like controversy between  William earl of arundel and Thomas earl of Devon for superiority of place with  like event and many more may be cite f and always in the beginning amity be  make between the grandee of the realm by shake of hand and kiss and sometime  by submission for the three when it be demand by the lord and Commons what may  be a principal motive for they to have good success in parliament it be answer  to be insurmountable si to be inseparable to drive out be mock  spoken part of play  divide to command come radix vertex command in obedience  general consensus rata are for the four unity between the Commons themselves  it be most necessary in both these and agreeable to the parliament in the book  of judge quasi a human being One by the same route mente to make one council  for the five the summons of parliament be by forty day or above before the sit  to the end that preparation may be have for the arduous and urgent affair of  the realm and that both the king accord to the example of king David and  likewise the noble and Commons shall prepare for to make ready beforehand  contemplation are always sound good how to make haste wherein both house may  great expedite the business of the commonwealth in parliament if they will  pursue the ancient custom of parliament videlicet in the beginning thereof to  appoint a select committee to consider of the bill

king in parliament  in this Act be diverse thing worthy of observation the name whereby they be  legitimate that this legitimation be not simpliciter but secundum quid for  they be legitimate and make capable of all dignity except the royal dignity so  as this legitimation extend not to make they or their posterity inheritable to  the crown but to all other dignity that before their legitimation they be not  create to any of their dignity the brief and artificial pen of this  ligitimation with general word as if the particularity be express and with a  brief non to stand before and with as little blemish as may be note pro crown  and hereby it appear that Henry the seven be son of Edmond of hadham e of  Richmond Margaret his wife daughter heir of John de Beaufort d of Somerset  which Margaret lineal descend from the say John de Beaufort legitimate make  capable of all dignity as be aforesaid to take out royal rank that the best  title of Henry the seven to the crown be by Elizabeth his wife old daughter of  Edward the four yet before this marriage the crown be by Act of parliament  entail to Henry the seven and to the heir of his body the right of the crown  then be in the say Elizabeth old daughter of Edward the four in this Act the  say Thomas before his legitimation can not be call esquire and therefore he  have this addition of Domicello either derive of the French word Domoicell  which signify a young soldier notyetknighted or signify noble bear and note  Johan the daughter have the addition of de Beaufort and Domicella in that  sense also b and albeit I find a attainder by parliament of a subject of high  treason be commit to the tower and forth come to be hear and yet never call to  answer in any of the house of parliament although I question not the power of  the parliament for without question the attainder stand of force in law yet  this I say of the manner of the proceed to take away oblivion si to be able si  non whatever silence to cover for the more high and absolute the jurisdiction  of the court be the more just and honourable it ought to be in the proceed and  to give example of justice to inferior court but it be demand since he be  attaint by parliament what shall be the reason that our historian do all agree  in this that he suffer death by a law which he himself have make for answer  hereof I have it of sir Thomas gawdy knight a grave and reverend judge of the  king bench who live at that time that king Henry the eight command he to  attend the chief justice and to know whether a man that be forth come may be  attaint of high treason by parliament and never call to his answer the judge  answer that it be a dangerous question and that the high court of parliament  ought to give example to inferior court for proceed accord to justice and no  inferior court can do the like and they think that the high court of  parliament will never do it but be by the express commandment of the king and  press by the say earl to give a directanswer they say that if he be attaint by  parliament it can not come in question afterward whether he be call or not  call to answer and albeit their opinion be accord to law yet may they have  make a better answer for by the statute of mag cart can Edward cap Edward cap  no man ought to be condemn without answer c which they may have certify but  fanctam tenent many men  who fieri to hold before the act of attainder be pass  by parliament do bind as they resolve Thepartyagainstwhom this be intend be  never call in question but the first man after the say resolution that be to  attaint and never call to answer be the say earl of Essex whereupon that  erroneous and vulgar opinion among our historian grow that he die by the same  law which he himself have make the reheresall of the say attainder can work no  prejudice for that I be confident persuade that such honourable and worthy  member shall be from time to time of both house of parliament as never any  such attainder where the party be forth come shall be have hereafter without  hear of he a nuqquid law our men  judge a human being nisi prius to hear ab  Self  understand  quid to make do our law judge any man before it hear he and  know what he do b it be not the manner of the Roman to deliver any man to die  before that he which be accuse have the accuser face to face and have licence  to

in parliament against sir John Mortimer  three son of Edmond the second earl of march descend from Lionel duke of  Clarence who be indict of high treason for certain word in effect that Edmond  earl of march shall be king by right of inheritance and that he himself be  next rightful heir to the crown after the say earl of march wherefore if the  say earl will not take it upon he he will and that he will go into Wales and  raise a Army of man c which indictment without any arraignment or plead be  mere feign to blemish the title of the Mortimer and withal be insufficient in  law as by the same appear be confirm by authority of parliament the say sir  John be bring into the parliament without arraignment or answer judgement in  parliament be give against he upon the say indictment that he shall be carry  to the tower of London and draw through the city to tiborn and there hang draw  and quarter his head to be set on London bridge and his four quarter on the  four gate of London as by the record of parliament appear
