The Answer to the Petition, which makes it an Act of Parliament, is,

OVr Lord the King, by assent of the Pre∣lates, Dusies, Earls, Barons, and the Commonalty, hath ordained and establish∣ed that the Statutes and Charters be held; and put in execution according to the said Pe∣tition.

It is observable, that the Statutes were to be put in execution according to the said Petition; which is, that no Arrests should be made cont••a∣ry to the said Statutes, not by special Command: this concludes as much, as if it were printed; for the Parliament Roll is the true Warrant of an Act; and many are omitted out of the Books which are extant.

36 Ed. 3. Rot' Parl' no. 22. explaineth it fur∣ther; for there the Petition is, Item as it is contain∣ed in the Grand Charter, and other Statutes, that no person be taken or imprisoned by special Command with∣out Indictment, or other Process made by the Law up∣on them, as well of things done out of the Forest of the King, as for other things; That it would please our Lord to command those to be delivered that are so taken against the form of the Charters and Statutes a∣foresaid.
