"Upon Consideration whereof, their House gave them as an Instruction to insist, That the Lords Spiritual ought not to have any Vote, in any of the Proceedings upon the Impeachments against the Lords in The Tower.

"And the Committee declared further, That they know not how to proceed in Capital Matters before a new Court.

"To which the Lords answering, That they had no Instructions, Power, nor Allowance, from the House, to debate concerning this Matter; desired that if they had any other Proposals to make, they would do it; and that the Lords were ready to debate them.

"To this, the Commons answered, That they think it most proper that the Propositions already made should be determined before they make any new ones."

After Consideration had thereof;

The Question was put, "Whether Thursday next shall be appointed, to begin the Trials of the Five Lords who are Prisoners in The Tower; videlicet, the Earl of Powis, Viscount Stafford, Lord Petre, Lord Arundell of Wardour, and Lord Bellasis?"
