case of non to stand before or dispense power note a good diversity when the  king shall be bind by act of parliament so that he can dispense with it by any  clause of non to stand before no Act can bind the king from any prerogative  which be sole and inseparable to his person but that he may dispense with it  by a non to stand before as a sovereign power to command any of his subject to  serve he for the public weal and this sole and inseparable be annex to his  person and this royal power can be restrain by any act of parliament neither  in proposition nor in hypothesi but that the king by his royal prerogative may  dispense with it for upon commandment of the king and obedience of the subject  do his government consist as it be provide by the statute of Henry cap that  all patent make or to be make of any office of a sheriff c for term of year  for life in feesimple or in tail be void and of no effect any clause or parole  de non to stand before put or to be put into such patent to be make  notwithstanding and further whosoever shall take upon he or they to accept or  occupy such office of sheriff by virtue of such grant or patent shall stand  perpetual disable to be or bear the office of sheriff within any county of  England by the same authority and notwithstanding that by this Act the patent  be make void the king be restrain to grant non to stand before the grantee  disable to take the office yet the king by his royal sovereign power of  command may command by his patent for such cause as he in his wisdom do think  meet and profitable for himself and the commonwealth of which he himself be  sole judge to serve he and the weal public as sheriff of such a county for  year or for life c and so be it resolve by all the justice of England in the  exchequer Chamber Henry and so the royal power to pardon treason murder rape c  be a prerogative incident sole and inseparable to the person of the king and  for this non to stand before a Act of parliament to make the pardon of the  king void andrestrain the king to dispense with this by non to stand before  and to disable he to who the pardon be make to take or plead it shall not bind  the king but that he may dispense with it and this be well prove by the Act of  Richard parliament cap for by this it be enact that no charter of pardon from  henceforth be allow by whatsoever justice for murder treason rape of a woman  not specify in the say charter and if it be otherwise be the charter disallow  note this be the sure way that the parliament can take to restrain the king to  pardon murder unless that he pardon it by express term which they think the  king will not for they know that the king can not be restrain by any Act to  make a pardon for mercy and power to pardon be a prerogative incident sole and  inseparable to the person of the king and it have ofttimes be adjudge that the  king can pardon murder by general word without any express mention with non  to stand before the say statute see Henry cap in which it be ordain that no  Welshman be justice chamberlain treasurer sheriff steward constable of a  castle escheator coroner or chief forester nor other officer whatsoever nor  keeper of record c in any part of Wales notwithstanding any patent make to the  contrary with clause of non to stand before although sit Wallicus born and yet  without question the king may grant this with a non to stand before so  purveyance for the king and his household be incident sole and inseparable to  the person of the king and for this cause the Act of parliament hold in time  of h de tallagio non  to go away title purveyance in rastall which bar the  king whole of purveyance be void as it appear in counterfeit lib fol but in  all such case although that the king may dispense with statute yet a general  dispensation or grant without non to stand before be void but in thing which  be not incident sole and inseparable to the person of the king but belong to  every subject and may be sever there a act of parliament may absolute bind the  king as if a Act of parliament to disable any subject of the king to take any  land of his grant or any of his subject as bishop as it be do by the statute  James c to grant to the king this be good for to grant or take land or  tenement be common to every subject and for this it be not proprium quarto  modus to king scilicet omni soli et always vide the case of Deans and chapter  upon the statute of Elizabeth vide Richard cap Henry that none shall be  justice of assize c in the county where he be bear or do inhabit and yet the  king with special non to stand before may dispense with this for this belong  to the inseparable prerogative of the king Viz his power of commandment to  serve c
