PRAYERS.
Marq. de Halyfax Speaker pro Tempore.
King to be attended with the Address:
The Duke of Somerset reported, "That, according
to the Order of this House, he had waited on His
Majesty, to know what Time He will please to appoint, for both Houses to present an Address to Him;
and His Majesty hath appointed Friday next, at Three
of the Clock in the Afternoon, in the Banqueting
Room in Whitehall."
Message to H. C. about it.
A Message was sent to the House of Commons, by
Mr. Meredith and Mr. Keck:
To acquaint them, that His Majesty hath appointed
Friday next, in the Afternoon, in the Banqueting House
in Whitehall, for both Houses to present their Address
to Him.
Message from thence, with a Bill.
A Message was brought from the House of Commons,
by Sir Joseph Tredenham and others:
Who brought up a Bill, intituled, "An Act, That
the Simoniacal Promotion of one Person may not
prejudice another;" to which their Lordships Concurrence is desired.
Dissenters Toleration Bill.
Next, the House took into Consideration the Amendments in the Bill for Toleration.
And, upon Debate, some other Amendments were
agreed to; and the House ordered the Bill to be engrossed, with those Amendments.
Savery, alias Serle, Bill.
ORDERED, That this House will hear Counsel for
and against the Bill, intituled, "An Act to enable Isaac
Savery, of the City of Exeter, Gentleman, to take
upon him the Surname of Searle or Serle," on Monday
next, at Ten of the Clock in the Forenoon.
Serle versus Clarke.
ORDERED, That this House shall give Judgement in
the Cause between Serle and Clarke To-morrow, at Ten
of the Clock in the Forenoon.
Dissenters Toleration Bill.
The House took into Consideration the Amendments
of the House of Commons, made in the Bill for exempting Their Majesties Protestant Subjects, dissenting from
the Church of England, from the Penalties of certain
Laws.
And the Paragraphs were severally read.
And that Clause which concerned the Bishops taking
the Oaths being read, and debated;
The Question was put, "Whether to agree to
this Clause, as it comes from the House of
Commons, without Amendment?"
It was Resolved in the Negative.
Then the House made some Amendments therein;
and made the Earl of Nottingham, Earl of Rochester,
the Bishop of London, the Bishop of Sarum, the Lord
Wharton, and the Lord Cornwall's, to be a Committee,
to make the rest of the Bill to agree with the Amendments already made, and give the House an Account
thereof To-morrow (fn. *)
Message from H. C. for a Conference on the Bill for removing Papists.
A Message was brought from the House of Commons,
by Mr. Francklyn and others:
To desire a Free Conference, touching the Subjectmatter of the last Conference.
The Answer returned was:
Answer.
That this House will give a Free Conference; and
appoints the same to be presently, in the Painted Chamber.
The Commons being ready, the House was adjourned
during Pleasure, and the Lords went to the Free Conference; which being ended, the House was resumed.
Conference reported.
Then the Earl of Rochester reported the Effect of the
Free Conference; which was, "That the Commons do
not agree to the Proviso sent down to them Yesterday, because it was not Parliamentary, and it did
suspend the Penalty of a Law; therefore they insist
upon their Clause."
Upon which, the Lords agreed to increase the Number of the Queen's Servants from Nine to Thirty, and
appointed the Managers to draw up the Proviso accordingly; who withdrew presently for that Purpose.
Adjourn.
