after Redennda, they may, paﬂing by any of the King’s F0-
rejir, Clea/2:, or Parks, Hunt and Kill one or two of the
King’s Deer. The Lords of Parliament may do it at other
times ex Gratin, but by Law, Eantla c6- Retleando, to and
from the Parliament. .

"Tlairelly, Here is implyed, that the Lord of Parliament
may, in the Abfence of the Foreﬂer or Keeper, after the
Blowing of the Horn, Kill one.or two of the King’s Deer;
'Proprii: fair Caniltar, aat Area ﬂea proprio.

Feartltly, Here is al'ecret Conclulion of Law, That albeit
Spiritual Perfons are Prohibited by the Canon-Law, to Hunt;
yetlby the Common-Law of the Land, they may for their
Recreation, to make them ﬁtter for the Performance of their
Duty and Ofﬁce, ufe the Recreation of Hunting, as here
it directly appeareth. And in Aﬂifa Fore/la, (SE. 1. it ap-
peareth, That the Abbot of Peterltarow had aRight of Hun-
ting in the Fore/l off Kockiaglaam. And this appear‘e‘th in o-
ther Statutes, viz. 13 13.2. 19 H. 7. 1 3m. c. 27. And at
this Day, and Time out of mind, the King hath ”had after
the Deceal'e of every Arch-Bifhop and BilboP (inter alia)
Mata”: faam Caaam, 81¢. his Kennel 0f Hater/d3, or 3 Com-
poﬁtion for the farm; which, and other things, are in “the
Exeloecqaer called Malta. ‘
