Doctor Manwaring at the Bar.
ROGER Manwaringe, Doctor in Divinity, being this
Day brought to the Bar, the Declaration of the Commons against him was read.
Charged by the King's Counsel for several Passages in sundry Sermons preached by him.
And then Mr. Serjeant Crewe and Mr. Attorney
General did charge him with the Offences contained in
the said Declaration, and opened the Proofs of the
said Offences out of the several Places of his Two
Sermons, which he preached before the King's Majesty in July last. And they the said Mr. Serjeant
Crewe and Mr. Attorney General did further charge
the said Roger Manwaringe for preaching a Third Sermon, 4 Maii last, sitting the Parliament, in his own
Parish Church of St. Gyles in the Fields, wherein he
delivered Three Articles to this Effect: videlicet,
Tenets advanced by him.
"1. That, in Matters of Supplies, in Cases of Necessity, the King had Right to order all as seemed good to Him, without Consent of His
People.
"2. That the King might require Loans of His
People, and avenge it on such as should
deny.
"3. That the Subject hath Property of his Goods
in Ordinary; but, in Extraordinaries, the Property was in the King."
He disputes the Right of the King- Liberty of the Subject- and Right of Parliament.
And they charged the said Manwaringe with great
Presumption, to dispute the Right of the King, and the
Liberty of the Subject, and the Right of Parliaments,
in his ordinary Sermons.
The Charge ended; the Lord Keeper demanded of
Doctor Manwaringe, whether he did acknowledge the
Three Tenets to be preached by him in his Sermon
4 Maii; which he absolutely denied. Whereupon
the Clerk read the Examinations of Hamond Claxton,
Esquire, and Sir Daniell Norton, Knight, and affirmed
some Parts thereof upon their Oaths.
His Defence
Then Doctor Manwaringe, being admitted to speak
for himself, protested before GOD, upon his Salvation,
"That he never had any Meaning to persuade the King
to alter the Fundamental Laws of the Kingdom. His
only Ends were to do His Majesty Service, and to
persuade a Supply in Cases of extreme Necessity;
desired Favour and Justice to explain himself; and,
because his Book consists of many Conclusions, he
desired that the Spiritual Lords might be Judges of
the Inferences and Logical Deductions therein."
He further humbly besought their Lordships, "To
allow him Counsel to speak for him in Point of Law,
Time to answer the Particulars, a Copy of the Charge
in Writing, and Recourse to his Books at Home, upon
Caution to attend again when their Lordships shall
appoint."
His Request to refer Part of his Charge to the Bishops, denied.
The Prisoner being withdrawn, and, after some Debate of his Requests, brought to the Bar again, the
Lord Keeper (by Direction of the House) blamed him
for that he divided his Judges, by requiring a Part of
the Charge against him to be referred to the Lords
Bishops; whereas all belongs to all the Lords jointly.
His other Requests granted.
Then his Lordship told him, that the House had
considered of his other Requests, and granted him
these: videlicet,
"1. To have a Copy of his Charge.
"2. To have Time till Friday Morning to make his
Answer.
"3. To have Leave to go to his own House, and to
abide there with a Keeper."
And his Lordship further told him, "That if, upon
recollecting himself, he shall desire Access to their
Lordships To-morrow Morning, it shall be granted
him."
E. of Huntingdon versus Sir Henry Sherley.
The Order of Sir Henry Sherley's Submission, etc.
and for the Publication thereof at the next Assizes at
the Borough of Leicester: videlicet,
Order for his Submission.
"The Lords, having examined the Carriage of
Sir Henry Sherley towards the Earl of Huntingdon,
Lord Lieutenant of the County of Leicestre, and
heard what could be said on both Sides, do Order,
That the said Sir Henry Sherley shall stand committed, during Pleasure; and that he shall, here at
the Bar, acknowledge his Sorrow for the great Offences he hath committed, in laying Aspersions and
Scandals upon the Honour of so Noble a Person and
Peer of this Realm as the said Earl of Huntingdon is,
and ask Pardon of all the Lords in general for it,
and of the Earl of Huntingdon in particular, and
promise that, by his future Carriage, he will endeavour to make Amends to the Lords in general,
and to the said Earl in particular, for his former
Offences.
Order for the publishing thereof.
"The Lords in the High Court of the Upper House
of Parliament assembled, having examined the Misbehaviour of Sir Henry Sherley towards the Earl of
Huntingdon, Lord Lieutenant of the County of Leicestre, by endeavouring unjustly to lay Aspersions
and Scandals upon the Honour of the said Earl, have
punished the said Sir Henry for those his said Offences, and caused him, in full House, to make such
humble and full Satisfaction, both to the House and
to the said Earl, as his great Offence deserved; and
because divers Things, tending to the Dishonour of
the said Earl, were spoken by the said Sir Henry
Sherley in the Hearing of many; their Lordships have
thought it agreeable to their Justice, and Care of so
Noble and well-deserving a Member of this House
as the said Earl is, that thus much may be published
by the Judges at the next Assizes at the Borough of
Leicester, that all Men may know how clear from the
least Blemish the Honour of the said Earl doth
stand."
His Acknowledgement and Submission.
Sir Henry Sherley, Prisoner in The Fleet, for scandalizing the Earl of Huntingdon (by Order 7 Junii), was
this Day brought to the Bar, where he made the Acknowledgement and Submission abovesaid, which the
Lords accepted of; and then he was withdrawn.
The Earl of Huntingdon gave the Lords Thanks for
their Noble Care to clear his Honour; and promised
not to trouble the said Sir Henry Sherley by any other

that Sir Henry might be enlarged. All which was

again, and that they were Ordered by the House;
and that the Publication of his Submission (ut supra)
at the next Assizes is left unto the said Earl of Huntingdon.
Order for his Discharge.
Whereas Sir Henry Sherley, Baronet, was, on the
Seventh of this June, committed to The Fleet, for
scandalizing of the Earl of Huntingdon; and whereas
