The king was accustomed to appoint his Sergeāts at armes to kéep the Par¦lement door, that no thrust, presse or noyse, were made there, by meanes wherof the Parlement might be letted, and that such thrust, preace or noyse might he auoyded, and proclamation should be made that no person en∣terprise such things there, vnder pain of imprisonment, for by Law: the Parlement door should not be shut, but he kept by the Porter or Sergeaunt at Armes.
