PRAYERS.
Report from the Committees of both Houses, that the Commons desire an Answer about the Bishops voting; and that they still desire the E. of Danby's Trial may precede those of the Popish Lords, &c.
The Lord President reported, "That the Lords Committees have met this Morning, with the Committee
of the House of Commons; and have delivered to
them a Copy of the Methods of Proceedings agreed
on Yesterday, in order to the Trial of the Five Lords,
and appointed to be communicated to them; their
Lordships hoping that therein all Things were adjusted which are necessary to the said Trial.
"To which, the Commons desired to know, Whether
the Paper now delivered, be delivered as Propositions
to be debated, or as Rules not to be altered; which
if so, seems as if the Lords would pass by all that
they have proposed; and till they have an Answer to
the more material Propositions they have made, they
can say nothing to the minute Circumstances in this Paper; and that the Lords are pleased by this Paper to answer several Things not asked, but not to answer what
they do desire.
"Then the Lords did let them know, that their Lordships are not instructed to debate, but shall acquaint
the House with what they insist on; and that the
Lords meet on great Disadvantage, if they should
not have Liberty to propose, as well as the Commons; and conceive that there is no Imposition put
upon the Commons by this Paper; but the Commons
may make Objections, and the Lords may debate
them: And that the Lords expect not any present Answer to the Paper; but hope they will receive it, as
the Lords have received their Propositions.
"To this the Commons replying, That Tuesday next,
set for the said Trial, growing near, it will take up
longer Time to adjust these Propositions than till
Tuesday; and some material Objections may be made
against them: However, they shall receive this Paper
as Propositions; to which they intend not to give any
Answer till they have an Answer from the Lords to
their former Proposition concerning the Lords Spiritual; and that they think it not to be according to
the good Correspondence that ought to be between
the Committees of both Houses, for the Lords to appoint a Day of Trial without adjusting the Time with
them, having formerly told them that that should
be the last Thing to be agreed on.
"The Commons further added, That they do not
quit their former Proposition, of the Earl of Danby's
being tried before the Five Lords; and desired to
know, whether the Lords intend to proceed to the
Trial of the Five Lords on Tuesday next, though the
Commons consent not: And desired also, that the
Lords would report, That the Commons desire to
know, whether they may expect any Answer to their
former Proposition, concerning the Bishops; without
which, the Meetings of the Committees will be useless; and One Meeting more may put a Period to this
Committee."
Upon Consideration had of this Report, the House
made these Resolutions following:
Lords Committees to acquaint the Commons, that they are not authorized to give any further Answer about the Bishops voting;
The Question was put, "Whether it shall be
an Instruction to the Lords Committees, appointed to meet the Committee of the House
of Commons, to let them know, that their
Lordships are not empowered to give any other
Answer than what is already given, concerning the Lords Spiritual?"
And it was Resolved in the Affirmative.
Protest against it.

ORDERED, To let the Commons know, that the
Paper delivered this Day contains the Orders of the
House of Lords, de bene esse, preparatory to the Trials;
yet such, that if the Commons have any Thing to object, or to offer to be added to them, the Lords will
consider thereof, and do what shall be reasonable.
The Lords will proceed to the Trials of the Popish Lords before the E. of Danby's.
The Question being put, "Whether it shall be an
Instruction to the Lords Committees, appointed
to meet with the Committee of the House of
Commons, to let them know, that there occur to the Lords Difficulties in the Case of
the Earl of Danby, which are not in the Case
of the other Five Lords; and that therefore
the Lords have resolved to proceed first to the
Trial of the Five Lords?"
And it was Resolved in the Affirmative.
