Iv. P. 292. 16 & 17 Car. II. , cap. 1. 1664. ] SELF-TAXATION BY CLEEGT ABANDONED. 395 compensated for the loss of their privilege of self-taxation, by permission to vote for members of the house of commons, in respect of the freehold tenure of their benefices, which they held for life. These changes were produced by a com- pact between the lord-chancellor and Archbishop Sheldon, with the silent acquiescence of the clergy, and without any act of parliament. 1 Another attempt was made, in this se...ssion, to invest Charles with power to grant indulgences in religion. It was a scheme of Lord Ashley, and others of Charles's mi- nisters, indifferent about religion ; andit was rendered ex- tremely agreeable to Charles, by being connected with pay- ments for dispensations to be granted, which were estimated to produce a large annual revenue. The lord-chancellor and the lord-treasurer, disapproved the scheme, and urged the king not to engage in it ; but a bill was presented in the house of peers, as by the king's direction and approba- tion, where the ministers opposed each other with vehement rancour.
