b petition of grievance privilege of parliament impeachment February virtus  brookwillow in banquet party fault in council I joy that all be bend with  alacrity against the enemy of God and we jesuits seminary and Popish Catholic  it be a grievance complain of the that of this reign that the law against  recusant be not execute I will have all those grievance James review of which  that be one if any new increase to take special consideration of they I and  Popham be day in examination of the powder plot at the tower the root of it be  out of all the country belong to the pope and faux repent he that he have not  do it God then and in deliver we for religion sake the privilege of the house  concern the whole kingdom which like a circle end where it begin but take heed  we lose not our liberty by petition for liberty to treat of grievance c no  proclamation can be of force against a act of parliament in Edward three S  time a parliament be hold every year that the people may complain of grievance  if a proclamation come against this the law be to be obey and not the  proclamation the that Henry Strowde move against the stannary court but be  fine after the parliament and imprison by the steward of the stannary  thereupon a law ensue for freedom of speech in the house but it ought to be do  in due and orderly manner my motion be that the grievance may be set down  those that be nought in radice or dragging or pulling along time first the  king ordinary charge and expense much about one the extraordinary ever bear by  the subject therefore the king can be no beggar and if all the corn be bring  to the right mill I will venture my whole estate that the king will defray his  ordinary charge last he move for a committee of the whole house for grievance  and say the remedy they will encourage the house and enable they to increase  the supply after this the question be put whether a petition to the king for  freedom of speech against recusant the business of the supply and for  grievance shall be refer to a committee of the whole house and it be resolve  to go upon they that afternoon February divide our law into three part  commonlaw custom statute law a committee be a jury the committee may examine  for matter of fact and what they have do for the fact the house will not alter  but for matter in law or right the parliament may after the committee alter it  February I have motion to have some bill prefer we have a bill for limitation  of suit in all the court of England both temporal and ecclesiastical I love  the court yet I will have the suit limit within some time I will rehearse two  example to show the inconvenience which do arise for want hereof doctor julio  that be but a experimental physician at length become the queen physician in  ordinary Buthiswifemustbedivorced after eighteen year cause precontractus but  by who by old Stapleton that will make love to any woman and then he marry the  fair lady he have beget with child but mark the judgement the lady and the  childdiedwithin a month if this divorce have be limit this have never be  another example there be a legacy give long after the party challenge it but  the witness be dead whereas have he bring his suit in reasonable time it will  have easy be decide therefore to have these suit limit within a certain time  be that which I desire may be commit to the committee of the former bill of  limitation of suit now if this like you by a little marjoram  to utter melodious notes all court be either temporal or ecclesiastical  temporal be either of ordinary jurisdiction or extraordinary of the commonlaw  or of equity my meaning be not to limit the king for no one time to run up  king but in the court of equity I will have the party limit it be good to deal  open and plain my lord chancellor have power to proceed accord to the  commonlaw accord to the commonlaw subject be limit already but not in equity  there be a great reason they shall be limit there also for if the king bench  which be in person lord king be limit why shall not the chancery if a fine and  recovery be pass if a deed be enrol these be of record and may be have at any  time after yet they be limit how much more shall suit in chancery which have  no write to prove but oath of witness which may die so that if one bring  witness to outswear I my land be go and yet there be no fault in the judge I  think this will be both plausible to the subject and acceptable to the judge  who for want of this limitation be many time perplex with these thing February  whatsoever hinder the observation of the sanctification of the sabbath be  against the scripture a sir Edward coke that it be in religion as in other  thing if a man go too much on the right hand he go to superstition if too much  on the leave to profaneness and atheism and take away reverence you shall  never have obedience maxima charity to make the whole of the laws he wish to  have such bird crush in the shell for if it be permit to speak against such as  prefer bill we shall have none prefer February I agree with that which be  speak last but yet let we husband time it be good for a man in these day to  take surety and if one die to put in another for there be no trust to executor  in these day surety bind joint and several be all principal I will have a bill  draw which shall give the creditor his debt and damage and the surety shall be  secure only of the land of the heir February in the committee of grievance  there be prerogative indisputable and prerogative disputable prerogative  indisputable be that the king have to make war disputable prerogative be tie  to the law of England wherein the king also have diverse prerogative as no one  time c none of all these monopoly but have fine example there be sort of  patent saint direct against the law d good in law but ill in execution d  neither good in law nor execution for the first when the sword of justice  which the law have trust the king withal be give to a subject and the king say  in his book that all grant of monopoly and dispensation of penal law be void  in law when the king grant his power to a subject the commonwealth rue for it  and of this kind be old debt for remedy of this that a course be take that if  debt owe to the king be not call for within a time then to be lose of the and  kind be patent for inn a rd be those which be neither good in law nor  execution and these be concealment which be dishonourable to the king for no  subject may do it and indeed the king never know of it the sole fault whereof  lie in the referee and for this a bill shall be draw that if the king have be  out of possession year and not recover any rend for it within that time then  not to be recover by the king as a concealment monopoly be now grow like  hydras head they grow up as fast as they be cut off all new office raise the  prince of thing in Henry a dispensation be grant that some shall not pay  subsidy this be after repeal by act of parliament for otherwise it will have  grow so common that no man will have pay see other free he show that all the  king from Edward III to this king have grant monopoly and even in queen  Elizabeth time there be some grant sir Richard Mompesson and one rob Alexander  procure of queen Elizabeth a patent for the sole transport of anise seed  monopoly have be grant heretofore de wind sole that in Devonshire and Cornwall  a patent be grant that none shall dry pilchard but those patentee February  show that there be two thing that principal concern and increase kingdom and  commonwealth videlicet soldier and money that there be coin from the Elizabeth  unto James nine million and a half of silver and gold show further that there  be cause of want of money and coin in this kingdom money turn into plate gold  folia that be employ in gild of thing change of money or silver be much  undervalue by we here of that our gold be which be raise and so be not our  silver and also all our money pass at low rate here than it do beyond sea in  other country the east India company who have licence to transport l at their  first set up and albeit they do not since that time carry out of the kingdom  any more English money yet they intercept the dollar and other money that will  otherwise come into this kingdom and bring in for it nothing but toy and  trifle the good importedexceed the good export and therefore there must needs  go forth of our coin to pay for the surplusage the French merchant for wine  carry forth l per and and bring in nothing but wine and lace and such like  trifle the patent for gold and silver lace which not only waste and consume  our bullion and coin but hinder the bring of any into the kingdom which be  wont to be so much as will yield l per and of good bullion march there be in  my observation kind of man that never thrive or prosper alchemist for  all things  to turn in smoke with he monopolize for he engross to himself what  shall be free for all man promoter who for the most part life upon the spoil  of poor man concealment monger or he that get concealment Depopular who turn  all out of door and keep none but a shepherd and his dog new projector who be  late start up march conference with the lord in the paint Chamber there be you  have hear the public good pretend but a private intend then to have a  proclamation to attend a private gain be a great grievance and a lamentable  thing that which I shall say shall be distribute into four part for clear of a  add to the king honour for remedy of these thing in time to come to show  precedent how such like case have be censure and punish in former time to add  a conclusion I will not meddle with the king prerogative which be twofold  absolute as to make war coin money etcetera or in thing that concern meum et  tuum and this may be dispute of in court of parliament the king be careful to  have prevent the grievance as appear by his proclamation primo James and his  declaration set forth James if these have be observe we have not be trouble  the king never grant any but he refer it as you have hear further the James ex  part king in the exchequer he grant a seal wherein he express himself thus we  have a just care of our love subject will not have our prerogative extend to  private use overflow will make river lose their proper channel it may be say  that these patent be grant as reward of former service and be not prize as  necessary for good service as penalty for evil service yes but yet king will  not have any man serve they for reward and therefore when any such patent be  grant they go in this from ex mero movement et agreeableness not general  etcetera Henry there be a statute of bargain because many grant have pass  without deliberation it be ordain by the king that whosoever shall sue for any  land he shall be punish by the Council and disable of the thing sue for he be  a wise and potent king and know his revenue can not subsist if he give way to  such suit now for remedy he that have thus offend be in the king mercy and  that all such patent be call in again Edward the Commons complain that many  person about the king have get a commission to inquire of all thing that  belong to the king revenue by the way what person be these to who the king  grant this it be say it be grant to ribald what be they ribald be such as  always beg and never work what do they with this commission they by virtue  hereof make writ return inquisition and get escheator to take possession and  then the ribald sue to the king to have some of these thing thus find grant  unto they in the very same manner as sir Giles Mompesson have do but the  Commons desire that these commission may be repeal and hereafter grant to man  of account it be necessary that some law be make for the time to come that no  monopoly be grant and they that procure any such may incur some great  punishment and this will kill the serpent in the egg now for precedent I  remember phaeton counsel to Icarus high landing place etcetera and conclude  medio to look at ibis so if we go too high we may wrong the king prerogative  if too low we betray our country therefore medio to look at ibis how be that  to go by precedent I find then that inparliaments beside the way of act and  petition there be a power of judicature or judicial proceed and that in sort  in person lord king et great man well council his in person great man sun  in person great man et partnership in person partnership so much I will give  several example of these first coramdomino king et great man in Edward time  the bishop of Coventry to express grief de hugone foreigner  Richard the  Commons complain to the king and the lord of a very great man call Michael de  la pole then lord chancellor for that he for his own private gain have suffer  diverse letter patent to pass in disherison of the crown and subvert court of  justice Henry well there be a complaint against William duke of Suffolk for  that he procure from the king diverse liberty in derogation of the commonlaw  the justice in eyre do inquire of this second in person great man only and  there be a necessity in this because else justice will fall to the ground and  the subject in some case can be relieve as suppose a judgement be give for the  king in the king bench there be no help for this but a writ of error which  must be bring before the lord in the Upper house of parliament now the king  can be judge in his own case therefore it must be judge by the lord alone or  not at all Alice pierce Richard be complain of to the lord for prefer many  suit in derogation of the commonlaw and against the commonwealth the lord  award imprisonment and banishment Edward John de la lee steward of the king  house keep a court in his chamber and send pursuivant for man and imprison  they he be commit tothe tower theretoremain till he have pay fine and ransom  Edward William Ellis a merchant of Yarmouth and farmer of the custom under  colour hereof oppress diverse of the king subject by exaction the Commons  complain the lord award he to prison until he have make fine and ransom Edward  Richard lion a merchant of London a notable projector he be well acquaint with  diverse lord and promise great matter as all projector do be accuse that by  his solicitation he procure dispensation to carry staple commodity to other  place than to the staple town contrary to the law that have take the custom to  enhance they pretend the king gain but intend his own lucre that he devise  such a new kind of money as will have rob and overthrow the kingdom this be a  merchant indeed but for the horribleness of his fact he be sentence to be send  to the tower there to remain till he have make fine and ransom never to bear  office never to come near the king nor his Council to be disfranchise of his  liberty of London John peache Anglice John sin to come together rebus nomina  often n'est be complain of for that he have get the sole sell of sweet wine  this sole sell show it to be a plain monopoly hereby the price be enhance he  be commit to the tower and pay fine and ransom but some may say these be but  poor fellow show a example of a great man John lord Neville who have a  regiment in Britain the Commons complain of he that under colour of the king  authority he have oppress and impoverish the people he be sentence to the  tower and pay fine and ransom all these in Edward the three time three  in person great man et partnership William lord Latimer have his name because  he be interpreter betwixt the Briton and we who be lord chamberlain be accuse  that he be partaker with Richard lion in all his project and be sentence deep  but the king pardon he the tenor of which pardon be thus come trusty et  selection our etcetera in person great man et partnership royal power  to point out to be etcetera I say the king pardon he but it cost he six score  thousand mark Richard in person partnership so much Arthur hall write a book  in derogation of the house of parliament he be imprison in the tower and fine  expel the house and another choose in his room Elizabeth Elizabeth a simple  and weak man one somewhat frantic give vli to a mayor to choose he burgess the  mayor be fine for it Henry in brook if a burgess be make a mayor to sit  parliament present a new must be choose for he be tie to another charge Adam  de very mayor of Calais and a captain have be such a oppressor as that he be  complain of whereupon he flee it be award his good shall be seize that be the  parliamentary course and thus I leave you to tread in the step of your noble  progenitor Empson be hang but his offence be not so great as sir Giles  Mompesson's he indeed get a grant to dispense with penal law accord to his  discretion and cause man to be indict for riot and to be imprison and cause  diverse to be outlaw so that the subject be thereby vex and terrify murmur in  their heart and be alienate from the king Mompesson have exceed he in the like  at least succeed he see the fortune of it Empson make one Mompesson his heir  for so I find it Mompesson son of Empson it be record in a book call the  mirror of justice that king allure call Alfred year  make a act to have  parliament in one year Edward the first make a ordinance to have one  parliament in two year and perform that Edward for the redress of many  mischief and grievance which daily increase in the commonwealth it be ordain  that a parliament be hold every year in those day parliament be account  necessary every year and be there not the same necessity still the kingdom and  commonwealth may be liken to a fair field and a pleasant garden but if the  field be not till and the garden often weed infaelix darnel et unfruitful  to be born reed and all ill humour increase in the body and hurt the body if  they be not purge humour movement non to move back corpus to hurt so likewise  abuse and corruption increase in the commonwealth therefore often parliament  be necessary that good law may be make to prevent and punish they ut penalty  and few metus and all to come up and we by daily experience find that of  disease to be true because non bring forward quickly contra mala opinion  therefore the heart of the son of man be set on they to do they mischief march  all the judge of England be all One voice when the law give the crown a  penalty he can grant the penalty to a private man for it be inseparable and  can be divide we come to the Council table where it be record by the Council  who confirm it and like it very well that there shall be no sole sell no law  can be equal to all country and can be grant to a private man the sole buy and  sell of anything and sole importation and exportation be a monopoly sir  Richard Mompesson sole importation of upon a quo warranto be judge a monopoly  another for sole importation of stone pot be likewise judge a monopoly and  likewise exportation and for the parliament who deny that it be a court of  record at Westminster march accord to a order be to go up to the lord to carry  the head of the conference unto they return make this report first to prevent  that this send of the head in write may not be make aprecedent against we to  do the like hereafter I tell they then when the Commons seek conference with  their lordship it have be always verbal and upon the Lords report it be enter  in their journal yet because it be request by they who we have find so ready  and kind to we in the say conference and the rather for that it stand upon so  many particular as that the best memory can scarce carry they away we have  condescend unto they I proceed to show what good ground the king have for say  in his book of declaration of his royal pleasure that monopoly and  dispensation ofpenal law be against law for the judge a James take it into  deliberation three day look into their book and precedent whereupon have  resolve they signify their resolution in write to the lord of the Council that  the take of forfeiture of the penal law be a inseparable prerogative of the  crown not to be impart to any their reason be first because those law be make  pro good public if a private person have the forfeiture it will be pro  private citizen second the king be pater native land therefore the realm trust  he when they will not trust a private man three because of the inconvenience  of it for when a subject be cloth with the king prerogative he seldom keep a  measure for I never see a universal patent grant but it be disorderly execute  fourthly it be a scandal to justice the Council board approve and applaud this  resolution of the judge as one of the best that ever be give the king then  have the opinion of the judge in point of law and of his Council for point of  state have good and sufficient ground for make such a declaration I show  precedent likewise against monopoly king Philip come over to marry queen marry  arrive at Southampton where be royal receive by the town to gratify they grant  they a monopoly that all sweet wine which be bring into this kingdom shall be  bring into Southampton during queen mary time none dare speak against it but a  Elizabeth it be question and judge to be a monopoly whereupon to Elizabeth the  subject by a act of parliament be free from it but the stranger remain bind  William Simpson have get a patent for the sole importation of stone pot and  heath to make brush withal this be complain of to the queen go say she to  Burleigh then lord treasurer Popham and coke and cause a quo warranto to be  bring against it and it be adjudge a monopoly sir Thomas Wilkes his patent of  sole make of salt in Norfolk because he have make a new addition to it yet it  be adjudge to be a monopoly because a new button add to a old coat make it not  a new coat and etcetera sir John Paggington his patent of sole importation of  starch his patent overthrow Richard Mompesson and Robert Alexander for the  sole importation of drug and aniseed a monopoly Elizabeth Martin the sole buy  of fish liver to make train oil sir Edward darcy the sole importation and  export of cork prohibit and adjudge a monopoly next for concealment a patent  as bid or rather worse than any other first that no nobleman can grant land  wherein he have not actual possession therefore it can stand with the justice  of the king to grant any land to the disherison of his subject second it rob  the king of his tenor which be the tree of his revenue with which go licence  of alienation ward and marriage three it rob the church Christ whip the buyer  and seller out of the temple he will much more whip the buyer and seller of  church fourthly it rob the poor for sir Giles Mompesson have pass twelve  hospital in one book therefore the king have reserve these thing just to  himself command in his say book that neither the broad seal nor his privy  signet shall be put to any of these I tell they also that this parliament we  have be careful to observe these three thing diligent first that we will not  deal with the king absolute power whereby he may make war etcetera come  to be gray king et Impers. pass. cinthius ear vellet et to bring to mind when  as I do begin to sing of king and war Apollo pull I by the ear and say I go  too far second to preserve the king honour and to this end we have set down  the king guide the referee three to provide for the wealth of the king but the  king can be rich if the subject be poor I then tell they I have one thing more  if they be not weary the prince desire to hear it I say in the Italian history  there be mention make of a friar who have spend his time in holy devotion he  be send to Rome to preach and because he have never be at Rome before he go or  day before the time and when he come and observe so much ceremony and pomp and  so little devotion what a lamentable thing say he be this I will not preach  here yet when his day come he go into the pulpit and say this matto sante  Piero saint Peter be a fool this he say three time and come down again and be  examine why he speak those word answer saint Peter say non to have aurum nec  argentum silver and gold have I none but the pope have plenty he spend his  time in prayer the pope in pleasure and vanity he in building the inward man  you in pamper the outward man if any of you do go to heaven saint Peter be a  fool to undergo such pressure so sure I may say matto signior Empsono matto  signior dudleio our Mompesson have go beyond you what fool be they to be hang  for as it be a matter of nothing sir Giles Mompesson have go so far beyond  they all as that a man have needs of a astrolobe to take the height of it and  therefore I hope they will give condign punishment so I deliver they the head  march every one who sit here be as a judge and have a vote negative in the  make of the law of this kingdom that the judge of the common plea or of any  court be never swear as witness in any case albeit they know of something  concern it and can testify in it but if their knowledge be ask they answer it  without a oath that no judge of the star Chamber can be serve with a subpoena  and to make a witness in that court and therefore none of we be to be examine  as witness in any thing whereof this house with the lord be to be judge a that  for a member of this house to be examine on oath in a business send from we to  the lord be never before desire that we be best to answer that we have no  precedent that ever it be do and that there be no necessity in it because the  great matter be sufficient prove march I have rather live under severe law  than under any man discretion wretched people  to be a servant be where  justice be strolling et not examined April I love sir John Bennet well but I  hate bribery first let it be set down in write and then present it to the lord  if it be find true it will touch he near if not beatus be for bless be he that  keep his hand from bribery may court of justice be like a circle you can add  anything unto it but you mar it if you put new to old it will never agree if  the king will grant a office to two whereas ancient it appertain to one it  will never do well Henry there be a resolution that a fee can be set to a new  office without a act of parliament it be in the canvas case and the grant of a  office without a fee be void Henry if I grant to one to be my steward without  a fee it be void but in a court of justice if you bring in a new office it  will never want fee therefore let there be none if the king grant a new office  and give he a fee it be void may when any judgement be give in a case concern  the king as all criminal case do for they be contra crown et rank to sew the  king may stay judgement and execution Edward it be enact that no judgement  shall be stay for any message whatsoever this be true for the late queen have  send and the judge have answer they may not nay if the great seal come they  may not stay judgement between party and party but if the king be a party he  may stop it Henry to question this judgement be strange if a judgement be give  when a judge be absent if he come after into the court it shall be account his  judgement nay if a judge be present and give his voice against a judgement yet  be judge by the rest it shall be his judgement if the king send to stop a  indictment in a appeal I will not do it but in a indictment I will let the  judgement enter stand refer the execution to his majesty my great master may  the statute of great Charta have be time confirm and never have it be so  infringe as of late yeears corporation have get by law accord to law and to  imprison for breach but that be against all law but this bill trenshes so deep  that a man for any cause of state can not be imprison but theay must show  there reason and therefore faulty in that and out of the statute of great  Charta as in Henry and confirm so by all the judge for l ondon S Corp oratio n  let they follow the law and not commit upon by law for theay can do that may  that there be patent for monopoly concealment and penal law tear the flower  from the crown in the of Elizabeth by proclamation all of this nature be damn  and therefore I think it fit by petition to go to the king that all these may  be damn June say that this motion of sir d dig be a worthy motion for freedom  of trade be the life of trade that customer be call in Latin  contractor for public works and every one know that Christ call publican  sinner and we may just match and call publican customer and customer sinner  for they cozen and deceive both the king and kingdom he say he will never fear  question for what he have here say for he have here speak old English which be  conscience he know he have offend many because it please this house to put he  in the chair at the committee concern monopoly whereby he have proceed the  more careful he will have those of the out port who shall desire to farm their  custom to offer good surety but for the better furtherance of trade he will  have a order of declaration enter here that none of those patent of monopoly  which have be here condemn shall be put in execution during this adjournment  or cessation November I be to make report of three speech of three great lord  the lord bishop of Lincoln lord keeper of the great seal of England the lord  Digby the lord treasurer but first I will begin with myself I be in this case  at a great disadvantage for it appear their speech be premeditate  contemplation I must needs be to make haste they no doubt have conference one  with another before and comparison to flower be et complete be I mark how  everyone of they speak in his own element and that have ever be the order in  parliament but I be sure I be out of my element the first of they be a divine  and excellent orator for persuasion the second be my lord Digby who be  ambassador and he be set forth in the king negotiation the three be my lord  treasurer who be to speak concern the treasure of the kingdom they be all in  the vigour of their age I be in decline they have have it from the fountain I  from the stream and thus much of myself now I come to their speech December  answer something that have not be answer well be to run back how male to run  better be to run back how to run have not every man the marriage of his own  child yea the king can dispose of the marriage of my son if land descend from  another ancestor the king can have the wardship and marriage the father live  these be inseparable prerogative of the crown and king marriage and league war  and peace they be arcana command and not to be meddle with if they be a  petition of right that require a answer I will never prefer it or give my  consent to the prefer of it but it be only a petition of grace the prince his  marriage must move either direct or indirect from the king now we have hear  the lord say that Janus his temple must be open the voice of Bellona must be  hear and not of the turtle nay more we hear that his majesty must either  abandon his child or engage himself in war the king of Spain maintain army his  force have get the palatinate so then we must fight against the Spaniard but  we desire that we may fight against Spain we say that the hope of the marriage  with Spain be the cause of the insolency of the papist we advice nothing but  what his majesty like for sure it will avert the heart of many that he shall  marry with any but a protestant for marriage with strange woman the scripture  say cautious thirst ne to turn away tripe your et to follow a god another to  do this by way of petition be good and have no hurt in it if it please his  majesty he may take this petition for a ground and lie it by or else make use  of it when the match be next move he may give it life if he please and quash  it at his pleasure for we draw not a bill to bind but a petition precedent  whereof you may have diverse Edward do confer with his Commons concern his  marriage Edward no a foreign prince do abuse he and he be weary of arm be for  a treaty and they dissuade he from peace and persuade he to take his sword in  hand because a just war be better than a dishonourable peace that the Commons  may argue debate and dispute of the estate of the kingdom which concern the  good of it Henry a league be to be make between the king of England and  Sigismond king of the Roman by act of parliament and there be a act for it the  writ be our guide nil nisi discretion or ration fecit old age the king call  the parliament pro great man steep place et roll up negociis our position et  a defending royal power our men  ac position et a defending church  concernentibus etcetera now judge if ever cause be more urgent than this or do  concern the state kingdom and commonwealth church Anglianam be the word of the  writ and do not this concern religion December silence will smite my  conscience come equal doubt come principe fool come pvero penalty m come  pvellam decency one out of Ireland will not dispute with the king the king as  the sun in top step have his full light in the Edward the liberty of the court  be the law of the court Henry when the law grow dangerous they may be free by  parliament how can great man be punish their burden be pull off we must have  another interpretation he will have we have any other style as no one to sell  the king will not sell justice the law no custom but by custom that be  particular law the king do not mean to take our privilege away but that a  committee of the whole house for we can have no proxy but we represent other  that a committee be appoint on Monday December say that we have now by this  last message as he conceive a allowance of our privilege which indeed be we by  law by custom by precedent and by act of parliament that he think if we do set  down our privilege and liberty it will clear we of all those rub he wish that  himself be a sacrifice so as there be a good and perfect correspondency and  right understanding between the king and the house as he hope there be that  one Walter clerk be a burgess for Chippenham be fine for a riot in time of  parliament at the king suit which encourage also one rob Basset to sue the say  clerk on a action of trespass and also one John pain sue the say clerk to a  outlawry and lie he up in the fleet but hereupon this house of parliament will  do nothing till they have their burgess again those of the king side say then  that for the king suit non to let go near largely freedom and it be then also  allege on the behalf of this house that the king call the burgess here for the  service of the kingdom and if one of they may be take from we all may like  wise by the same right a will have we make a protestation for our privilege  that he can tell we when both house do sit in parliament together both the  lord and the commons that the demand of the privilege of this house by the  speaker be after they begin to be question and at first when the demand of the  privilege be make to the king of this realm it use to be do still at the first  meeting of the parliament and in this manner that if the house may not have  their privilege and liberty they will sit silent he will have we make our  protestation for our privilege and then send the same to the king that he may  see it
