To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


333 Mr. Hampden, of Buckinghamshire, in the case of ship-money, all the judges of England, except Crook and Hutton,* gave it for law " that the king might levy taxes on the subject by writ under the great seal, without grant of Parlia- ment, in cases of necessity ; or wlien the king- dom was in danger, of which danger and neces- sity his majesty was the sole and final judge ; and that by law his majesty might compel the doing thereof in case of refusal or refractori- • ness." This determination
... was entered in all the courts of Westminster Hall, and the judges were commanded to declare it in their circuits throughout the kingdom, to the end that no man might plead ignorance. " The damage and mischief cannot be expressed," says Lord Clar- endon,! " that the crown sustained by the de- served reproach and infamy that attended this behaviour of the judges, who, out of their court- ship, submitted the grand questions of law to be measured by what they call the standard of general reason and necessity." While these extraordinary methods of raising money were built only upon the prerogative, people were more patient, hoping that some time or other the law would recover its power ; but when they nvere declared by all the judges to be the very law itself, and a rule for determining suits be- tween the king and subject, they were struck with despair, and concluded, very justly, that Magna Charta and the old English Constitution were at an end.
