{{quote box
|text=The House of Commons is a body without a head. The members give their opinions in a disorderly manner. At their meetings nothing is heard but cries, shouts, and confusion. I am surprised that my ancestors should ever have permitted such an institution to come into existence. I am a stranger, and found it here when I arrived, so that I am obliged to put up with what I cannot get rid of.

Following the calamity of this parliament, James became even more determined to avoid the legislative body.{{sfn|Thrush|2010d}} He had four of the most belligerent MPs, including Hoskins, sent to the Tower of London for [[seditious speech]]. The same was done for Hoskins's encouragers a few days later.{{sfn|Moir|1958|p=146}} Royal favour was extended to the king's supporters in Parliament, even the Speaker, who received a knighthood and was made a [[Serjeant-at-law#King's or Queen's Serjeants|king's serjeant]].{{sfn|Moir|1958|p=148}}{{sfn|Hunneyball|2010}} Simultaneously James approached the Spanish Ambassador, confiding much in him, especially regarding his lack of confidence in the body.{{sfn|Willson|1967|p=348}} He reopened negotiations with Spain for a Spanish wife to his heir-apparent, anticipating a dowry of £600,000, enough to cover almost all his debt.{{sfn|Thrush|2010d}}{{sfn|Willson|1967|p=348}}

Shortly after the parliament ended, the Privy Council went into talks of calling another, possibly [[Parliament of Scotland|in Scotland]],{{sfn|Wormald|2014}} but James surmised this break in Parliament would be final.{{sfn|Willson|1967|p=348}} Indeed, he would not call another parliament for seven years. He only raised a [[3rd Parliament of King James I|Parliament in 1621]] as a last resort to raise money for his son-in-law [[Elector Palatine Frederick V]] during the [[Thirty Years' War]].{{sfn|Thrush|2010d}} This interlude was England's longest in nearly a century, since that between 1515 and 1523.{{sfn|Mondi|2007|p=140}} As one historian has commented, "had it not been for the outbreak of the Thirty Years’ War in 1618, he might have succeeded in avoiding Parliament for the rest of his reign."{{sfn|Thrush|2014}} In the meantime, still heavily in debt, James set about finding other ways to raise money. "We shall see strange projects for money set on foot, and yet all will not help", one observer noted.{{sfn|Dietz|1964|pp=158–159}} His financial needs were temporarily sated with a [[benevolence (tax)|benevolence]] asked of his wealthiest subjects in 1614, raising £65,000;{{sfn|Croft|2003|p=94}} the sale of the [[Cautionary Towns]] of [[Brielle]] and [[Vlissingen]] to the Dutch in 1616, raising £250,000;{{sfn|Croft|2003|p=95}} and in 1617, the request of a loan of £100,000 from the [[City of London]] for a Scottish [[Royal entry|Progress]], though the City did not give this in full.{{sfn|Croft|2003|p=100}} The deficit was slowly reduced from 1614 to 1618.{{sfn|Moir|1958|p=153}} Yet, by 1620, his debt had risen to £900,000 and no marriage deal had materialised.{{sfn|Wormald|2014}}
