and concerning Col. Fitz Patrick.

The Lord Privy Seal reported, "That himself, the Earl of Essex, and the Earl of Burlington, had attended His Majesty, from this House, and presented their humble Desire, that Colonel Fitz Patrick, now in Ireland, may, by His Majesty's Order, be commanded to repair forthwith to his own House there, and not to come within Twenty Miles of Dublin, or of any other Place (except his own House), where the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland shall at any Time reside, till further Order: And His Majesty is pleased to give this Answer, That he had given Order therein."

The Lord Privy Seal acquainted the House, "That the Society of Lyncolnes Inne have prepared a List of the Names of such Papists as are of their Society; and have desired his Lordship to present the same to this House."

The Lord Viscount Newport reported, "That the Lords with White Staves have attended His Majesty, with the humble Desire of this House, That all such Persons who breed or suffer their Children to be bred up in the Popish Religion may, by His Majesty's Order, be put out of all public Employments, Civil and Military whereof they are now possessed; and that for the future no such Persons, nor any Person, shall be put into, or continued in, any public Employment, Civil or Military, who shall knowingly marry a Papist. And His Majesty is pleased to grant it."

The House was put into a Committee, to consider of the Bill for the Attainder of Thomas Earl of Danby, of High Treason.

And, after Debate thereof, the House was resumed.

The Earl of Bridgewater reported, "That the Committee of the House have been in Consideration of the Bill for the Attainder of Thomas Earl of Danby of High Treason; and have made some Amendments and Alterations therein, which are offered to the Consideration of the House."

And being read Twice, it is ORDERED, That this House agrees with the Committee in these Amendments.

Oakley discharged.

Upon Report made from the Lords Committees for examining Matters relating to the late horrid Conspiracy, "That, upon the Petition of Thomas Oakley, a Prisoner in The King's Bench, by Order of this House of the 4th of December last, for refusing to take the Oath of Allegiance, their Lordships have examined his Case; and find that he is a very aged and illiterate Man, and in great Misery through Poverty, and is no Popish Priest; and that he is ready and willing to take the said Oath:"

Which being offered to the Consideration of this House, it is thereupon ORDERED, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That the said Thomas Oakley be, and is hereby, discharged from his present Imprisonment for the Cause aforesaid; and this shall be a sufficient Warrant on that Behalf.
