PRAYERS.
Dumaistre's Answer, acknowledging himself Guilty, and imploring the Mercy of the Lords.
John Dumaistre was brought to the Bar; and delivered in his Answer to the Articles of Impeachment
against him.
Which was read, as follows; (videlicet,)
"The humble several Answer of John Dumaistre,
to the Articles of Impeachment exhibited
against him and John Aurioll, by the Knights,
Citizens, and Burgesses, in Parliament assembled, for high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
"The Respondent saith and confesseth, That he is
Guilty of the Misdemeanors in the said Articles charged
upon him; and humbly submits himself to your Lordships Judgement, imploring your Lordship's Mercy,
for that he hath a Wife and Six Children, and was
unadvisedly drawn into the Practices in the said Articles mentioned, and was always a Well-wisher to this
Government, and never offended against the same but
in committing the Misdemeanors for which he is now
impeached. And this Respondent, being truly sorry
for his said Misdemeanors, will never be guilty of the
like; but will for the future endeavour, by his Service to the Government, and Encouragement of the
English Manufacturies, to make some Atonement for
what he hath so inconsiderately been guilty of.
"John Du Maistre."
Dumaistre attached:
This Day John Dumaistre having answered to the
articles of Impeachment against him, and therein confessed himself Guilty:
It is ORDERED, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That the Gentleman Usher

Custody the Body of John Dumaistre, and keep him in
safe Custody until further Order of this House; and
this shall be a sufficient Warrant on that Behalf.

A Message was brought from the House of Commons,
by Sir Rowland Gwyn and others:

the more effectual preventing the fraudulent Importation of Lustrings and Alamodes;" and to acquaint
this House, that they have agreed to the Lords Amendment made thereto.
and to know whether Aurioll has answered to his Impeachment:
And also, "That whereas John Dumaistre and John
Aurioll stand impeached before your Lordships of
high Crimes and Misdemeanors; and this House hath
acquainted them, that the said John Dumaistre hath
pleaded thereunto; the Commons desire to be informed what hath been done by your Lordships in relation
to the said John Aurioll."
Answer about him.
Then the Commons were called in again; and told,
