To attend the Lords.
|
To meet in the Painted Chamber, To-morrow,
being Wednesday, the Eighteenth of this April,
at Two in the Afternoon.
Lord Chancellor.
The Lord Treasurer signified, that, in the Interim of
this Cessation, the Lord Chancellor was an humble
Suitor unto His Majesty, that he might see His Majesty
and speak with Him; and although His Majesty, in
respect of the Lord Chancellor's Person, and of the
Place he holds, might have given his Lordship that
Favour, yet, for that his Lordship is under the Trial of
this House, His Majesty would not on the sudden grant it.
That, on Sunday last, the King calling all the Lords
of this House which were of His Council before Him,
it pleased His Majesty to shew their Lordships what
was desired by the Lord Chancellor, demanding their
Lordships Advice therein.
The Lords did not presume to advise His Majesty;
for that His Majesty did suddenly propound such a
Course as all the World could not advise a better; which
was, that His Majesty would speak with him privately.
That Yesterday, His Majesty admitting the Lord
Chancellor to His Presence, his Lordship desired that he
might have a particular of those Matters wherewith he
is charged before the Lords of this House; for that it
was not possible for him, who past so many Orders and
Decrees in a Year, to remember all Things that fell out
in them; and that, this being granted, his Lordship
would desire Two Requests of His Majesty. 1. That,
where his Answer should be fair and clear to those
Things objected against him, his Lordship might stand
upon his Innocency. 2. Where his Answer should not
be so fair and clear, there his Lordship might be admitted to the Extenuation of the Charge; and, where
the Proofs were full, and undeniable, his Lordship would
ingenuously confess them, and put himself upon the
Mercy of the Lords.
Unto all which His Majesty's Answer was, He referred him to the Lords of this House; and thereof His
Majesty willed his Lordship to make Report to their
Lordships.
It was thereupon Ordered, That the Lord Treasurer
should signify unto His Majesty, That the Lords do
thankfully acknowledge this His Majesty's Favour, and
hold themselves highly bound unto His Majesty for the
same.

Sir Edward Villiers.
The Lord Admiral protested unto the Lords, that
whereas the Opinion of the World is, that his Lordship
had sent his Brother Sir Edward Villiers abroad in the
King's Service, of Purpose to avoid his Trial touching
some Grievances complained of by the Commons; his
Lordship was so far from that, that his Lordship did
hasten his coming home; and, if any Thing blame-worthy
can be objected against him, his Lordship is as ready
to censure him, as he was Mompesson.
His Lordship desired the Consideration of him to be
expedited; for, although he be a Member of the Lower House, yet his Lordship advised him not to go there,
till he had cleared himself here; and his Lordship desired, that the said Sir Edward Villiers might come to
his Accusation, for so he should have the greatest Honour, his Lordship not doubting but he would clear
himself.
It was answered by divers Lords, and Agreed, That
Sir Edward Villiers might go to the Lower House.
And it was declared by divers Lords, That the said
Sir Edward Villiers is named (obiter) in the Accusation
against Mompesson, and others; but, as yet, he is not
accused of any particular Offence by him committed.
