Fast, wherein their Lordships Concurrence is desired.

Petition for a Fast.
"Most Gracious Sovereign,
"We, Your Majesty's most loyal and obedient Subjects, the, and Commons, in Parliament assembled, being passionately sensible of the
calamitous Condition of this Kingdom, not only by
reason of the War wherein it is at present involved,
but many other intestine Differences and Divisions
amongst us, which are chiefly occasioned by the undermining Contrivances of Popish Recusants, whose
Numbers and Insolencies are greatly of late increased, and whose restless Practices threaten a Subversion both of Church and State, all which our Sins
have justly deserved; and being now assembled in
Parliament, as the Great Council of this Your Kingdom, to consult on such Means as we conceive fittest to redress the present Evils wherewith we are
surrounded, we do in the First Place humbly beseech
Your Majesty, That, by Your especial Command,
One or more Days may be forthwith solemnly set
apart, wherein both ourselves and this Your Kingdom may, by Fasting and Prayer, seek a Reconciliation at the Hands of Almighty God, and with
humble and penitent Hearts beseech Him to heal
our Breaches, to remove the Evils we lie under,
and to avert those Miseries wherewith we are threatened, and to continue the Mercies we yet enjoy;
and that He will be graciously pleased to bestow
His abundant Blessing upon Your Majesty and this
present Parliament, that all our Councils and Consultations may tend to His Glory, and the Honour,
Safety, and Prosperity, of Your Majesty and all Your
People."
Agreed to.

he hath been advised to go beyond the Seas, for Recovery of his Health; to that End, hath obtained
Leave of the King, and desires also the Leave of this
House, for his Absence from Parliament; resolving,
as often as he can conveniently, to attend this House
