Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate relationship between the Church, the government, and monarchs, focusing on the impact each had on establishing the landscape of government and monarchy in England. The author explores the political landscape of England from the time of the Roman Empire to the reign of Henry VIII and the Reformation, including the rule of King John, his signing of the Magna Carta, and the resulting power struggles. The author argues that the complex dance between the Church and state throughout history has influenced the evolution of the institutions and legal frameworks of modern society.

Crosfeild proposes an act of tonnage, whereby coastal vessels would be charged a fixed rate per ton to the collector of each port, and all outward bound ships, except colliers, going either to Holland, Flanders, Portugal, Denmark, or Ireland, would pay twelve pence per ton. However, if any of the latter were taken by the enemy before their voyages were complete, this money would be refunded to them. Inward bound ships, either English or foreign, would pay two shillings per ton, unless they were not fully laden, in which case deductions would be made. Crosfeild thought the abolition of the Receivers-General, who were allowed to take a portion of the taxes they collected, would be beneficial to the finances of the country. He concluded that their interests were being protected by a party of corrupt persons at court because no one there would consider his proposals.
