perused the Proceedings that have been before the
House, upon James Percie's Petitions: That they
find, that the House, on the 28th of March, 1673,
dismissed the said James Percie's Petitions; and resolved the next Day, to consider what further Proceedings should be had against the said James Percie
concerning the Imposture: That the House was
next Day adjourned; so nothing more was done

and Proceedings upon the Petitions of James Percy;
and that they find the House, on 28 March 1673, dismissed his Petitions, and resolved the next Day what further Proceedings should be had against the said James
Percy concerning the Imposture; and that, by Adjournment of the House, nothing was done therein: After

by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament
assembled, That this House will hear the Counsel of
his Grace the Duke of Somerset, against the said James
Percy, concerning the Imposture, as also Counsel for

"That your Petitioner's extraordinary Punishments
and Trouble have been so heavy upon your Petitioner,
that it is a great Mercy of GOD that he is not deprived of his Senses; and your Petitioner ever had so
great a Veneration for your Lordships, and ever was
so far from saying or doing any Thing wittingly which
might in the least interfere with the Rights and Privileges of this Honourable House, that, if any Thing
be inserted in his Case or Petition which offends your
Lordships, it proceeds from Ignorance or Inadvertency;
and humbly begs your Lordships Pardon.
"Your Petitioner therefore humbly prays your
Lordships, in your Lordships great Wisdoms
and Compassion, to discharge him from his Confinement, being much afflicted to lie under
your Lordships Displeasure upon this or any
account whatsoever.
