Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The holie mother church,Out of mai|ster Fox. pag. 427. by whose mi|nisterie the catholike see is gouerned, in hir deeds (as we throughlie beleeue and hold) proceedeth with that ripenesse in iudge|ment, that she will be hurtfull to none, but like a mother would euerie mans right be kept vnbroken, aswell in another, as in hir selfe. Whereas therfore in a generall par|lement called at Lincolne of late, by our most dread lord Edward by the grace of God the noble king of England; the same our lord caused certeine letters receiued from you to be read openlie, and to be decla|red seriousl [...]e afore vs, about certeine busi|nesse touching the condition and state of the realme of Scotland: we did not a lit|tle muse and maruell with our selues, hea|ring the meanings concerning the same, so wondrous and strange as the like we haue not heard at any time before. For we know most holie father, and it is well knowne as|well within this realme of England (as al|so not vnknowne to other persons besides) that from the first beginning of the realme of England, the certeine and direct gouern|ment of the realme of Scotland in all tem|porall causes from time to time belonged to the kings of the same relme of England and relme of Scotland, aswell in the times both of the Britains as also Englishmen, yea rather the same realme of Scotland of old time was in fee to the ancestours of our foresaid lords kings of England, yea and to himselfe.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Furthermore, the kings of Scots and the realme haue not beene vnder any other EEBO page image 311 than the kings of England, and the kings of England haue answered or ought to an|swer for their rights in the foresaid relme, or for anie his temporalities before anie iudge ecclesiasticall or secular, by reason of free preheminence of the state of his roiall dignitie and custome kept without breach at all times. Wherefore, after treatie had, and diligent deliberation of the contents in your foresaid letters, this was the com|mon agreement & consent with one mind, and shall be without faile in time to come by Gods grace, that our foresaid lord the king ought by no meanes to answer in iudgement in any case, or should bring his foresaid rights into doubt, nor ought not to send any proctors or messengers to your presence, speciallie seeing that the premis|ses tend manifestlie to the disheriting of the right of the crowne of England, and the plaine ouerthrowe of the state of the said realme, and also hurt of the liberties, customes and lawes of our fathers, for the keeping & defense of which we are bound by the duetie of the oth made, and we will mainteine them with all power, and will defend them (by Gods helpe) with all strength; and furthermore, will not suffer our foresaid lord the king to doo or by anie means attempt the premisses being so vn|accustomed, vnwont, and not hard of afore. Wherefore we reuerentlie and humblie beseech your holinesse, that yee would suffer the same our lord king of England (who a|mong other princes of the world sheweth himselfe catholike and deuout to the Ro|mish church) quietlie to inioy his rights, liberties, customes, and lawes aforesaid: without all impairing and trouble, and let them continue vntouched. In witnesse whereof, we haue set our seales to these presents, as well for vs, as for the whole communaltie of the foresaid relme of Eng|land. Dated at Lincolne the twelfth of Fe|bruarie, in the yeare of our Lord 1301, Et anno Edwardi primi 29.
