Message from H. C. with Bills.
A Message was brought from the House of Commons, by Sir Solomon Swale Knight, and others; who
brought up Two Bills, passed by the House of Commons; to which their Lordships Concurrence is desired:
1. "An Act to enable the Sale of Lands of Richard
Senior and Anthony Senior, deceased, for Payment of
some of their Debts."
2. "An Act for the Punishment of unlawful cutting
or stealing of Wood and Underwood, and Destroyers
of young Timber Trees."
Petition to the King, against Jesuits and Priests.
The Lord Chancellor reported, "That the Committee have met, and prepared the Draught of a
Petition to be presented to the King, as an Expedient to the Vote brought from the House of Commons concerning Jesuits and Priests; which is offered
to their Lordships Consideration."
The said Petition was read, in hæc verba; videlicet,
"To the King's Most Excellent Majesty:
"The humble Representation and Petition of
the Lords and assembled in Parliament;"
"Sheweth,"
"That, notwithstanding Your Majesty's unquestionable Affection and Zeal for the true Protestant
Religion manifested in Your constant Profession and
Practice against all Provocations and Temptations
whatsoever, yet, by the extraordinary Resort of
Jesuits and Romish Priests into this Kingdom in far
greater Numbers than hath been known, Your good
Subjects generally are much affected with Jealousy
and Apprehension, that the Popish Religion may
much increase in this Kingdom (which Your Majesty
hath most piously desired may be prevented), and
so the Peace both in Church and State may be insensibly disturbed, to the great Danger of both."
"Your Two Houses of Parliament are therefore
humble Suitors to Your Majesty, to apply
some sure Remedy to this growing Mischief;
and that You will, by Your Royal Wisdom,
take some such effectual Course, that Your
Majesty may be informed of the true Number
of the Romish Priests and Jesuits which are
within this Your Kingdom, and the Places
of their Abode or Residence; and that, when
Your Majesty shall receive true Information
of their great Number, You will take the
like effectual Care that they depart this Kingdom; and that You will not connive at the
Stay of any of them, of whose Modesty and
peaceable Behaviour you are not, upon some
Observation and Experience of Your own,
or other very good Testimony, well assured.
And if this pious Care and Candour in Your
Majesty doth not produce the wished Effects,
Your Two Houses of Parliament will be
ready to present such further humble Advice
to Your Majesty as the Perverseness and Obstinacy of ill Men shall make necesary for
Your Affairs, and for the Peace and Tranquillity of Your Kingdom."
And, after a serious Debate thereof,
The Question being put, "Whether this Petition
and Address now read shall pass?"
It was Resolved in the Affirmative.
ORDERED, That this Petition be communicated to
the House of Commons, at a Conference, on Thursday
Morning next.
Committees adjourned.
ORDERED, That all Committees are adjourned to
Thursday next.
Adjourn.
