long detail of such frivolous events as those with which it is filled, or attend to a tedious narrative which would fol low, through a series of fifty-six years, the caprices and weaknesses of so mean a prince as Henry ? The chief reason why protestant writers have been so anxious to spread out the incidents of this reign is, in order to ex pose the rapacity, ambition, and artifices of the court of Rome; and to prove that the great dignitaries of the catholic church, while they pretended to have nothing in view but the salvation of'souls, had bent all their atten tion to the acquisition of riches, and were restrained by no sense of justice or of honour in the pursuit of that great ob ject.’ But this conclusion would readily be allowed them, though it were not illustrated by such a detail of un interesting incidents; and follows, indeed, by an evident necessity, from the very situation in which that church was placed with regard to the rest of Europe. For, be sides the ecclesiastical power, as it can always cover its operations under a cloak of sanctity, and attacks men on the side where they dare not employ their reason, lies less under control than civil government; besides this general cause, I say, the Pope and his courtiers were foreigners to most of the churches which they governed; they could not possibly have any other object than to pillage the pro vinces for present gain; and as they lived at a distance, they would be little awed by shame or remorse, in em ploying every lucrative expedient which was suggested to them. England being one of the most remote provinces attached to the Romish hierarchy, as well as the most prone to superstition, felt severely, during this reign, while its patience was not yet fully exhausted, the influ ence of these causes; and we shall often have occasion to touch cursorily upon such incidents. But we shall not attempt to comprehend every transaction transmitted to us; and, till the end of the reign, when the events be come more memorable, we shall not always observe an exact chronological order in our narration. Settlement of The Earl of Pembroke, who, at the time the government. o f John’s death, was Mareschal of England, was, by his office, at the head of the armies, and conse quently, during a state of civil wars and convulsions, at the head of the government; and it happened fortunately for the young monarch and for the nation, that the power could not have been intrusted into more able and more faithful hands. This nobleman, who had maintained his loyalty unshaken to John, during the lowest fortune of that monarch, determined to support the authority of the infant prince ; nor was he dismayed at the number and violence of his enemies. Sensible that Henry, agreeably to the prejudices of the times, would not be deemed a sovereign, till crowned and anointed by a churchman, he csth Oct immediately carried the young prince to c ' Gloucester, where the ceremony of corona tion was performed, in the presence of Gualo, the legate, and of a few noblemen, by the Bishops of Winchester and Bath.b As the concurrence of the papal authority was requisite to support the tottering throne, Henry was obliged to swear fealty to the Pope, and renew that homage to which his father had already subjected the kingdom : c and in order to enlarge the authority of Pem broke, and to give him a more regular and legal title to it, nth Nov a S enera l council of the barons was soon after summoned at Bristol, where that noble man was chosen protector of the realm. Pembroke, that he might reconcile all men to the govern ment of his pupil, made him grant a new charter of liber ties, which, though mostly copied from the former con cessions extorted from John, contains some alterations, which may be deemed remarkable.' 1 The full privilege of elections in the clergy, granted by the late king, was not confirmed, nor the liberty of going out of the kingdom, without the royal consent: whence we may conclude, that Pembroke and the barons, jealous of the ecclesiasti cal power, both were desirous of renewing the king’s claim to issue a conge d’clire to the monks and chapters, and thought it requisite to put some check to the frequent appeals to Rome. But what may chiefly surprise us, is, that the obligation to which John had subjected himself, a M. Paris, p. 623. p. 474. W. Heming. p. 562. b Ibid. p. 290. Tiivet, p. 168. Hist. Croyl. Cont. of obtaining the consent of the great council before he levied any aids or scutages upon the nation, was omitted ; and this article was even declared hard and severe, and was expressly left to future deliberation. But we must consider, that, though this limitation may perhaps appear to us the most momentous in the whole charter of Jolin, it was not regarded in that light by the ancient barons, who were more jealous in guarding against particular acts of violence in the crown, than against such general imposi tions, which, unless they were evidently reasonable and necessary, could scarcely, without general consent, be levied upon men who had arms in their hands, and who could repel any act of oppression, by which they were all immediately affected. W e accordingly find, that Henry, in the course of his reign, while he gave frequent occasions for complaint, with regard to his violations of the Great Charter, never attempted, by his mere will, to levy any aids or scutages; though he was often reduced to great necessities, and was refused supply by his people. So much easier was it for him to transgress the law, when in dividuals alone were affected, than even to exert his ac knowledged prerogatives, where the interest of the whole body was concerned. This charter was again confirmed by the king in the en suing year, with the addition of some articles, to prevent the- oppressions by sheriffs : and also with an additional charter of forests, a circumstance of great moment in those ages, when hunting was so much the occupation of the nobility, and when the king comprehended so considerable a part of the kingdom within his forests, which he go verned by peculiar and arbitrary laws. All the forests, which had been enclosed since the reign of Henry II. were disafforested; and new perambulations were appointed for that purpose: offences in the forests were declared to be no longer capital; but punishable by fine, imprison ment, and more gentle penalties : and all the proprietors of land recovered the power of cutting and using their own wood at their pleasure. Thus, these famous charters were brought nearly to the shape in which they have ever since stood ; and they were, during many generations, the peculiar favourites of the English nation, and esteemed the most sacred rampart to national liberty and independence. As they secured the rights of all orders of men, they were anxiously defended by all, and became the basis, in a manner, of the English monarchy, and a kind of original contract, which both limited the authority of the king, and insured the con ditional allegiance of his subjects. Though often violated, they were still claimed by the nobility and people; and as no precedents were supposed valid that infringed them, they rather acquired than lost authority from the frequent attempts made against them, in several ages, by regal and arbitrary power. While Pembroke, by renewing and confirming the Great Charter, gave so much satisfaction and security to the na tion in general, he also applied himself successfully to in dividuals : he wrote letters, in the king’s name, to all the malcontent barons ; in which he represented to them, that, whatever jealousy and animosity they might have enter tained against the late king, a young prince, the lineal heir of their ancient monarchs, had now succeeded to the throne, without succeeding either to tire resentments or principles of his predecessor: that the desperate expedi ent, which they had employed, of calling in a foreign po tentate, had, happily for them, as well as for the nation, failed of entire success; and it was still in their power, by a speedy return to their duty, to restore the independ ence of the kingdom, and to secure that liberty, for which they so zealously contended : that as all past offences of the barons were now buried in oblivion, they ought, on their part, to forget their complaints against their late sovereign, who, if he had been anywise blamable in his conduct, had left to his son the salutary warning, to avoid the paths which had led to such fatal extremities : and that having now obtained a charter for their liberties, it was their interest to show, by their conduct, that this acquisi tion was not incompatible with their allegiance, and that tire rights of king and people, so far from being hostile c M.
