religion where prophecy cease the people perish a great part of the realm  without teach to petition the king to have this in some sort remedy a  precedent for this in the midnight of popery the fiftieth of Edward n the  Commons complain of this to the king this long before Luther to desire the  king that he will call his bishop to he and advice with they June ordinary  charge the king shall bear alone but where common periculum common help in  extraordinary he may require relief Edward the king tell his subject he demand  no aid because he have good officer the king revenue as it be be able to  supply his ordinary ancient parliament do so limit their gift that they may  meet again till Elizabeth never but one subsidy grant and sir Walter Mildmay  though he be a great officer speak against it then but since that time there  have be no such thing to subsidy S to subsidy S to subsidy S etcetera and it  be not to be forget that the tonnage and poundage which yield l per annum and  the subsidy of the clergy l per annum be all by gift of parliament the time  for these two subsidy he will have October and April August that the privilege  of the house of Commons be the heartstring of the commonwealth we be the  general inquisitor but for the point of doctrine not to judge but to transfer  pro defension church give as one cause of call parliament in all the ancient  writ and when both house have do their duty it will come to the king at last  Henry the parliament beseech the king not to pardon those who be condemn in  parliament Edward John of gaunt and the lord Latimer be question for give the  king ill counsel no man not John of gaunt himself be to be except many man and  I myself will speak in parliament that which they dare not speak otherwise  August in king Edward the d time who be a valiant and a wise king the clergy  do petition the king for thing for the maintenance and preservation of  religion for a peaceable government and for the continuance and increase of  love between the king and his subject be that petition then and be it not  needful now he be afraid some ill star have rule that have bring we hither but  the place where he be now in the divinity school put he in mind not to fear  any evil but to put our trust in God for sure we have a gracious and a  religious king and be there no more precedent to this purpose yes in the time  of that stout and valiant king Henry the four you shall find that the Commons  perceive thing to go awry do resort unto the king by petition who rectify the  same see the record of Henry two thing be urge against we very strong to give  first our engagement second the king necessity for the first our engagement by  the house it be not other but if that the king will turn his weapon against  the right enemy they will supply he in a parliamentary course and for the  other argument of necessity I find in Bracton a father of our law that there  be a threefold necessity need you are on your way to this unavoidable or  invincibilis et not foreseeing that this be not you are on your way to this in  his conscience he dare acquit the king that it be invincibilis or unavoidable  he do not believe God forbid that his majesty shall be put to that pinch we  have no invasion no eighty eight that it be not foreseeing he do very believe  and therefore he think that in respect that it have grow by improvidence and  be not inevitable not to be supply by the house can the king as well live off  his revenue as his ancestor king Edward the d maintain war in France year  before he have supply office ought to be hold and use by man of experience and  understanding of good year judgement and discretion to execute such office or  else they be void in law and so be our book and law case a Elizabeth dyer  Skrogges's case and many other book and a kingdom can never be well govern  where unskillful and unfitting man be place in great office and hold the great  office of the kingdom for if they be inexperienced and unskillful themselves  they can execute they or make choice of fit man under they by reason of want  of experience and judgement neither be young and unskillful person to be trust  with such great office beside multiplicity of office to be hold by one man be  a great prejudice to the merit of honour and his majesty well deserve subject  and by this mean that which be wont to be think fit to advance diverse as a  reward of their good service or a token of his majesty favour and grace and  bestow only upon man of great desert both of king and kingdom be now hold and  engross by one man only which be neither safe for his majesty nor profitable  unto the kingdom and whereas the king S may and ancient have reward many by  one of these great office upon one of his servant who he find to be most fit  for it and another and by such mean keep his revenue to himself it be now come  to pass that by engross of office his majesty exchequer stand charge with many  pension for the reward of service at least allege nay his ancient crown land  grant away to gratify man in this kind the office of admiral be the great  office of trust about the king for the benefit of the kingdom it be a island  consist of trade and therefore require a man of great experience and judgement  which he can attain unto in a few year and such a one as shall have spend his  time in the understanding of it and he say for his part be he to go to sea he  have rather go with a man that have be once on the sea and able to guide and  manage a ship or fleet than with he that have be time at the haven the master  of the ordnance be ancient a tradesman until Henry and then it be confer on a  nobleman and ever since it have be in the nobility and be never well govern a  Richard such grant of office wrought a great disquiet in the state Henry  oppression by subsidy make a rebellion Henry when as great tax be lie upon  northernmen by the mean of the cardinal the earl of Northumberland be employ  in the same the people slay he the king he lie it upon his Council his Council  on the judge and the judge on the cardinal and there it rest it have be tell  we that by the late king neutrality the war increase neutrality nec  rich in friends make ready nec enemy  to lift and as the case now stand it be  a good project for the parliament and a worthy action to bring the king that  he may be able to subsist of his own estate which be now in a consumption and  the ship have a great leak which may be stop yet but if it be not stop in time  it will all come to nought and subsidy never give for the ordinary but for the  extraordinary expense of the king no state can subsist of himself in a  honourable estate except it have thing first free ability to support itself  for his own necessary and defence against any sudden invasion second that it  must be able to aid his alley and foreign friend three to reward his well  deserve servant the ordinary to be discharge by the ordinary the cause of  defect be not for want of income but through the ill order of it which grow  either by waste or surcharge it and therefore the remedy must be accord there  be art of medicine to move back and art of medicine to renew he move to have a  committee to recollect the head for memorial which be great enemy to the  revenue of the crown whereof fraud be one and instance what hurt it do in the  custom the officer buy their office dear and they wink at the merchant and  then to make up all there must be a medium and so the farmer grow Richard how  be it else that he that be but a break merchant late by farm the custom awhile  be now becomeworth to l another be new-invented office with large fee Edward a  complaint of the like nature for a office of surveyor of the brewer S with a  large fee and old office with new fee and new office with new fee to be repeal  as by the law they may be with the love of the people and honour and profit of  the king precedent of York to cease precedent of Wales to cease they be both  needless charge for the people who have rather to live under the government of  the commonlaws the western man have the same honour as may appear by the  statute of Henry but they desire to be govern by the commonlaws and to shake  off that honour another not to monopolize office one duty one to hold as judge  every officer to live off his office and not to beg other thing if the old  office and old order be keep there will be no needs of new table and therefore  sir Simon Harvey by his will shall out of his office and voluntary annuity and  pension to be retrench be not buy and sell and a new market keep of they as  now it be and all unnecessary charge and portage money twelve d of the pound  take away whereas they make great gain of it themselves and overmuch bounty be  another thing that be to be restrain for here be no friend to the king or  state that seek a feefarm or a new office the statute of Henry no man ought to  beg any thing of the crown till the king be out of debt this statute be call  Brangwyn which be Welsh for a white crow they be like a crow ever crave and  for their sin they be white in the time of want and dearth as now it be costly  apparel diet and lady vanity be to be abandon and thus much for  art of medicine to move back now for art of medicine to renew the king have  forest and park almost without number every one of they be a great charge to  the crown and therefore those to be people and what great honour can be to the  king than by building of church and increase of his people without do wrong to  other to grow Richard beside Ireland which be now a very plentiful and rich  nation pray God it be not monopolize by Holinshed it appear that in king  Edward the d time yet it do yield clear unto the crown l per annum and now be  a great charge to the crown his project there be no farmer that have any lease  make unto he by king James but will give half a year rend with all his heart  to have the same confirm by king Charles and if the king will take these  course he do hope as old as he be to live to see king Charles to be style  Charles the great Edward numero a a and Edward numero a the Commons do  petition the king to live off his own estate and there it be allege that the  ordinary revenue shall maintain the ordinary charge Edward numero a the king  do not make a new charge to a old office Edward and Henry
