powers as were exercised by that court. But James refused compliance with the application of the Commons.
He was probably sensible that, besides the diminution of his authority, many inconveniences must necessarily result from the abolishing of all discretionary power in every magistrate ; and that the laws, were they ever so carefully framed and digested, could not possibly pro- vide against every contingency ; much less, where they had not, as yet, attained a sufficient degree of accuracy and

But the business which chiefly occupied the Commons during this session, was the abolition of wardships and purveyance ; prerogatives which had been more or less touched on, every session, during the whole reign of James. In this aflair, the Commons employed the pro- per means which might entitle them to success : they offered the king a settled revenue, as an equivalent for the powers which he should part with ; and the king was willing to hearken to terms. After much dispute, he agreed to give up these prerogatives for two hundred thousand pounds a year, which they agreed to confer upon him *.
