Message from H. C. to impeach the E. of Salisbury and the E. of Peterborough.
A Message was brought from the House of Commons,
Mr. Paul Foley and others:
Who did, in the Name of the House of Commons,
and all the Commons of England, impeach the Earl of
Salisbury and the Earl of Peterborough of High Treason,
in departing from their Allegiance, and being reconciled
to the Church of Rome; and that they will send further
Articles against them in convenient Time, and did desire
that they may be committed.
The the Commons withdrew.
The Commons were called in again; and told, "That
the Lords would consider of their Message; and send
an Answer by Messengers of their own."
Then the ensuing Order was made:
Order for attaching the E. of Peterborough.
"Whereas James Earl of Salisbury and Henry Earl
of Peterburrough stand impeached by the House of
Commons of High Treason, in departing from their
Allegiance, and being reconciled to the Church of
Rome: It is ORDERED, by the Lords Spiritual and
Temporal in Parliament assembled, That the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod attending this House
do forthwith attach the Body of Henry Earl of Peterborrough, and bring him in safe Custody to the
Bar of this House.
"To Sir Thomas Duppa, Gentleman Usher
of the Black Rod attending this House,
his Deputy and Deputies, and every
of them."
The Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod gave the
House an Account, "That he had taken the Earl of
Peterborrough; and he was now attending at the
Door."
E. of Peterborough at the Bar:
Then he was called in; and, having kneeled at the
Bar, the Speaker acquainted him, "That their Lordships had received an Impeachment from the House
of Commons against him, for High Treason, in departing from his Allegiance, and being reconciled to
the Church of Rome; and that they would send
further Articles against him in convenient Time, and
desired that he might be committed."
Then his Lordship spoke to this Effect:
"I am sorry it's my Fortune to come before your
Lordships as a Delinquent. As for the rest, I desire,
that, if I am to be committed, I may have a Copy
of what is objected against me, and Time to answer,
and Counsel allowed, and them and my Friends (considering the Nature of the Treason) to come to me:
And I shall be ready to obey your Orders, whatsoever they be."
And so withdrew.
Committed to The Tower.
Whereas Henry Earl of Peterborough stands impeached
by the House of Commons, of High Treason, in departing from his Allegiance, and being reconciled to the
Church of Rome:
It is ORDERED, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That the Chief Governor
of The Tower of London, his Deputy or Deputies, do
take into his Custody the Body of the said Henry Earl
of Peterborough, and keep him in safe Custody, until
he shall be delivered by due Course of Law. And this
shall be a sufficient Warrant in that Behalf.
To the Chief Governor of The Tower of
London, his Deputy and Deputies, and
every of them.
Order for bringing the E. of Salisbury to the Bar.
Whereas James Earl of Salisbury and Henry Earl of
Peterborough stand impeached by the House of Commons, of High Treason, in departing from their Allegiance, and being reconciled to the Church of Rome:

of Their Majesty's Tower of London, his Deputy or
Deputies, do bring to the Bar of this House, on Monday

Message to H. C. to acquaint them with these Orders about the impeached Lords.
A Message was sent to the House of Commons, by
Sir Miles Cooke and Sir Adam Oateley:
To let them know, that the Lords have committed
the Earl of Peterborough to The Tower of London; and
that the Earl of Salisbury being already a Prisoner in
The Tower, their Lordships have ordered him to be
brought to the Bar on Monday next.
Then the Earl of Peterborough was called in again,
and told by the Speaker, "That the Lords had considered of his Desires, and had given Liberty for his
Friends to come to him."
The Order followeth:
E. of Peterborough to have Access of Friends.
"ORDERED, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal
in Parliament assembled, That the Earl of Peterborough, now Prisoner in The Tower of London, shall
be allowed to have his Lady, Friends, and Servants,
to have access to him, so as the Governor of The
Tower of London do give this House an Account of
the Names of such Persons as shall come to his
Lordship."
