Ob. The Statute of Tunnage and Poundage granted for the defence of the Sea, the words are, that no Talliage or Aid shall be without Act of Parliament: Secondly, that the King hath means to defend the Realm, with a Prote∣station not to draw it into example, 4 H. 4. 13 H. 4. Parl. Roll. n. 10.

Ans. I will not argue whether Tunnage and Poundage was before this Act of Parliament, nor that time out of mind they were granted to the King; but my Answer is, that they are only for the ordinary defence of the Sea; and the Protestation of 4 H. 4. is a Protestation of the Commons only, and this Charge is not taken a∣way thereby, and Tunnage and Poundage is for and towards the defence of the Sea; so all the Acts are, and so I agree, but for extraordinaries, and but solely, in case of danger of the whole Kingdom, that they should not be granted, can∣not be collected out of these grants.
