Anno Sexto Edwardi Tertii. The Parliament holden at Westminster, the morrow [ 1] after the Nativity of our Lady, in the Sixth year of King E. 3.
THe Bishop of Winchester Chancellor of England declareth,* That the Parliament was called touching French affairs,* and the Kings expedition thither for repressing his Enemies.*
At this day were proclaimed the Articles contained in the last Par∣liament,* 1.2.3.
Page 13[ 3] The Parliament was adjourned until Thursday following;* at what time considering the news from the North, they doubted the Scots arrival:* Wherefore• the Bishops by themselves,* the Lords by themselves, and the Knights by themselves, advised the King to stay his journey into Ireland, and to send thither a new supply of men and money; to stay within the Realm, and with an armed power to go towards the North, there to lie ready for the Scot.*
Towards which Exploit, They granted to the King one Disme,* and one Fifteen, to be levied of the Laity, so as the King will live of his own without grieving of his Subjects with outragious prizes or such like. Whereupon, The King revoked the new Commissions for rea•ing of Tallages; and promiseth from henceforth to remise the same according to the old rate.
