The king allowed treasury offices to be re-sellable
Not unnaturally, the members of the Council who made the proposals for treasury office regarded wealth as an evidence of sound judgment, AN116 and a candidate with means had ways to sweeten his selection. By the 1630s—halfway through the period we are studying—the king was desperate enough to extend to the treasury the sale of offices and also of renunciations, futuras, and retentions.
