In Parliament he was an ardent and sometimes violent opponent of the Crown and of the abuse of royal prerogatives. He oposed the projected union of England and Scotland when it was discussed in 1607. He was appointed Recorder of Oxford in 1607 and held the post until 1623. He fell out with Oxford University, both for his activities in Parliament and his conduct as Recorder of Oxford, in particular his support for the City's desire to establish a police force to patrol the streets at night. This led to his being suspended from membership in the University by the Vice-Chancellor. In 1614 he spoke in Parliament against the imposition of illegal taxes, in which he argued that the Spanish loss of the Netherlands Henry IV of France were the just reward for such impositions; for this inflammatory speech he was imprisoned after the dissolution of Parliament, chiefly to appease the French ambassador. In the Parliament of 1621 he opposed the proposed marriage of the Prince of Wales to a Spanish Princess, and when the King angrily wrote to the Speaker that the Commons should not interfere with such matters of state, he boldly stated he never yet read of anything that was not fit for the consideration of Parliament. In the 1624 parliament he was a strong advocate of declaring war on Spain. He died during his last term in Parliament in 1628 at Henley-on-Thames. (Wikipedia)
