The Presbyterian speakers, such as Sir Robert Harley, Sir Benjamin Rudyard, Harbottle Grimstone, Sir Simonds D'Ewes, and Clement Walker, contended that the King's concessions were satisfactory; the negative was maintained by a succession of speakers, among whom were the two Vanes.
Though this speech gave some disgust, nobody, at the time, replied any thing, but that Sir Humphrey mistook the meaning of the house, and of the member who made the motion: they never had any other purpose, than to represent their grievances, in due and seemly form, unto her majesty. * D'Ewes, p. 168. D'Ewes, p. 175.
And therefore, henceforward, whether I live to see the like assembly or no, or whoever holds the reins of government, let me warn you to beware of provoking your sovereign's patience, so far as you have done mine. Elizabeth carried further her dignity on this occasion. * D'Ewes, p. 130. D'Ewes, p. 116, 117. * J Camden, p. 400.
He quoted the clerk of the parliament's book to prove, that no man might speak in parliament of the statute of wills, unless the king first gave license; because the royal prerogative in the wards was thereby touched. He showed, likewise, the statutes of Edward I., Edward III., and Henry IV., with a saving of the prerogative. * D'Ewes, p. 180, 185. D'Ewes, p. 185. * D'Ewes, p. 159.
* D'Ewes, p. 245. Camden, p. 446. D'Ewes, p. 245. v D'Ewes, p. 246. The most memorable event in this period was a session of parliament, held on the eighth of February, 1576; where debates were started which may appear somewhat curious and singular.
"Bread," said every one with astonishment. * D'Ewes, p 629. Osborne, p. 604. D'Ewes, p 648, 650, 652. * D'Ewes, p. 648. D'Ewes, p. 647.
We have further the unceasing complaints and the numberless petitions that were presented in every Elizabethan parliament from 1572 onwards. Some of these are given in Strype, Annals, etc., some in his Whitgift. Mr. See also Heywood Townshend, 110, et passim; D'Ewes, 302, et passim, and the canons and injunctions of the time.
Of these larger acquisitions may be mentioned the library which had belonged to the famous antiquary, Sir Symonds D'Ewes, Cotton's friend; the greater number of the Graevius MSS.; the 23 bulky volumes of the Baker collection; many of the papers originally belonging to Nicholas Charles, Lancaster Herald, which, at his death, Camden had purchased for 690 pounds, and the collection of Stow, the historian of London.
This committee met in the star chamber, and, wearing the aspect of that arbitrary court, summoned Wentworth to appear before them, and answer for his behavior. * D'Ewes, p. 236, 237, etc. D'Ewes, p. 244. * D'Ewes, p. 241.
The small revenue of the crown is the most likely cause that can be assigned. * D'Ewes, p. 234. D'Ewes, p. 661-694. * See note MM, at the end of the volume.
