38. MODUS TENENDI PARLIAMENTUM IN ANGLIA. The work under this title so frequently mentioned in our law books, and the subject of much controversy, is not extant in print; it is held of very high authority by Ld. Coke, who in Pref. to 9 Rep. gives a more full description of it; viz. Modus tenendi parliamentum hic describitur modus quomodo parliamentum regis Anglia, Anglicorum suorum tenebatur tempore Edwardi filii regis Etheldredi, qui quidem modus fuit per discretiores regni, corum Willelmo duce Normandia & conquestore & rege Angliæ, ipso conquestore hoc præcipiente & per ipsum approbat' & suis temporibus usitat. The authenticity of it is never doubted by Ld. Coke, who says, certain it is that this modus was rehearsed und declared before the conqueror at the time of his conquest, and by him approved for England, 4 Inst. 12; the antiquity of it is however denied by Selden, in Titles of Honor, p. 610, &c. as not older than the reign of Edw. III. and still further by Prynne, who contends it is not prior to 31 Hen. VI. Animadv. on 4th Inst. 6. 331. See also Nicholson's Engl. Hist. libr. 4to, 156, and Harg. Coke Litt. 69, b.
