[unspec 65] THe same Friday, for that some of the Lords were not come, the Parliament was adjourned until Monday next ensuing.* 1.2 The same Monday the Bishops and Lords came into the Parliament, where the Commons making rehearsal of their former proceedings, required remedy.

[unspec 66] The Duke of Lancaster offered in Parliament,* 1.3 that so as the Realm would lend him Sixty thousand pounds, he would enterprise to enter into Portugal and Spain, and rescue the English-men, keep the sea, and seek to conquer their right; and would further bind himself and his lands to repay the same in the year in money or service, so as he were sound of body, and out of prison: Whereof was great dispute and alter∣cation on both sides. Look 6 R. 2. tit. 13.

[unspec 67] The Lords and Commons grant unto the King the Subsidy of Wools and Staple-wares, in such wise as was lately granted,* 1.4 for four years from the Nativity of S. Iohn Baptist then ensuing, to be imployed upon the Wars,* 1.5 and Voyage of the said Duke; and that the King will do things according to the advice of his Council.* 1.6 By whose advice they grant, for the saving of his credit and profit, he may for a time transport his Staple-ware to any other place besides Calice,* 1.7 any Grant to the con∣trary notwithstanding.

[unspec 68] The Commons require, that if any League be taken with the Enemy, * 1.8 that then the Grant and profit arising thereby may be laid up for the ease of the Commons. They also require that the Commons may for a time be eased of Taxes.

[unspec 69] It is enacted, That all Deeds, Feoffments and Conveyances what∣soever made by menaces in the last Insurrection should be void,* 1.9 and that no man do enter into any lands or tenements, but where lawfully he may.

[unspec 70] And not with force or multitude of people,* 1.10 upon pain of imprison∣ment or fine.* 1.11
