[1] [2] Anno Reg. 12.The king of England being certified of this inua|sion, prepared an armie with all diligence to haue resisted the Scots: but they were returned yer the English power could assemble togither. Now when the king was truelie certified that the Scotish king was returned home, he staied all the preparations made at that time to go against him. But yet mean|ing to be reuenged of the wrongs doone to him by king Iames and his people;A parlement of the thrée e|states of the realme. he first called a parle|ment, and in that assemblie of three estates of the realme, he declared the cause of the instant warre, and how necessarie it should be for the suertie and wealth of the realme of England to haue that warre pursued against those enimies that had begun it. To this motion all the nobilitie wholie agréed.A subsidie. And to the maintenance of that warre, a subsidie was by whole assent of the parlement fréelie giuen and granted. Which paiment though it was not great, yet manie of the common people sore grudged to pay the same, as they that euer abhorre such taxes and exactions. At the same parlement were diuerse acts and sta|tutes made, necessarie & expedient (as was thought) for the publike weale of the realme.
