PRAYERS.
Herring's Bill.
The Earl of Bridgwater reported, "That the Committee have considered the Bill for selling the Estate
of John Herring deceased; and having heard all Parties concerned, and being fully satisfied that the
passing this Bill will be the Preservation of the Family, the Committee offer it as their Opinion, That
this Bill is fit to pass, without any Amendments."
Hodie 3a
vice lecta est Billa, "An Act to enable
Trustees to sell Lands, for Payment of the Debts of
John Herring deceased."
The Question being put, "Whether this Bill shall

It was Resolved in the Affirmative.
Message to H. C. that the Lords agree to it.
A Message was sent to the House of Commons, by Sir

Bill concerning John Herring, without any Amendments.
Address for a War with France.
The Earl of Aylesbury reported from the Committee,
which was appointed by this House to consider and prepare an Answer to the Reasons of the House of Commons, why they cannot agree to their Lordships Amendments made in the Address intended to be presented to
His Majesty, concerning an immediate declaring a War
against the French King, a Paper, containing an Answer;
which the Committee offers to the Consideration of this
House.
The said Paper was read, as follows:
"That, being of the same Mind with the Commons,
in our earnest Desire to have a War pursued against
France, we think it highly necessary (at a Time when
we should be unanimous in our Counsels) that nothing should appear of Difference betwixt the Houses
in their Reasons upon a Matter of such high Importance to the Kingdom: And where, in our Answer to the
Commons, it may perhaps be necessary to say Things
which might afford Matter of fresh Disputes, instead
of arriving at that End we all aim at;
"We do therefore rather choose to give this only
Answer to the Whole; That, understanding those
Treaties are not yet perfected with the Allies, which
are absolutely necessary to the vigorous prosecuting
of the said War against France, and the obliging of
the said Allies not to leave us alone in it, we cannot
agree to the Address of desiring His Majesty to declare a War, until the Alliances with the Emperor,
Spayne, and Holland, at least, shall be completed;
whereof we are confident His Majesty will not be
wanting on His Part."

of Persons in Prison before the Second of February,
1677."
After the Third Reading, a Proviso to this Bill was
added at the Table.
The Question being put, "Whether this Bill, with
the Amendments now read, shall pass?"
It was Resolved in the Affirmative.
Burying in Woollen Bill.
