Lands was agreed to by the House of Commons; but
when it was brought to the Clerk of Parliament to
sign, being signed with Mr. Elsing's Hand, and being
read over, and being compared with the Original

divers Words were put (fn. *) out, and other Words were
put in with another Hand, absolutely altering the
Sense."
Hereupon the Lords Resolved, To have a Conference
with the House of Commons about it, as a Business much
concerning the transacting of Public Affairs between the
Two Houses; and to desire they would thoroughly examine the Business.

The Matter of the Conference was to be, "To let
the House of Commons know, that their Lordships
have considered of the Reasons that the House of
Commons offered for the Earl of Newcastle and Sir
John Winter to be of the Number of the Seven excepted Persons; and their Lordships do adhere to Sir
John Byron and Sir George Radcliffe, who, their Lordships conceive, have done much more Prejudice to the
Kingdom than the Earl of Newcastle and Sir John
Winter, the said Sir John Winter having been beyond
the Seas for many Years during the Time of these
Troubles."

Lords went to the Conference with the House of Commons; which being ended, the House was resumed.

"My Lord,
"The Houses of Parliament have received your
Letter of the 11th Instant, written to the Committee
at Derby House, wherein they take especial Notice of
your Lordship's faithful Discharge of your Trust they
have committed to you; which God hath pleased to
crown with a most seasonable and happy Success, in
giving in to your Lordship Four of the revolted Ships,
and disabling the rest from carrying on at present their
persidious Design. And as the Houses are most sensible of the great Advantage hereby to the whole
Kingdom, in the Repair of its Naval Power, the
opening and securing of Trade, the frustrating the
Designs of Foreigners, to which the Revolters laboured to be instrumental; so they do highly esteem
the honourable Performance of this Service by your
Lordship, and the Captains and Seamen of the whole
Navy under your Command, notwithstanding the Difficulties which that Place and this Season of the Year
have put upon you; for which we are commanded,
in their Names, to give your Lordship their hearty
Thanks, and remain
Westm'r 18th Nov. 1648.
"Your Lordship's
"Affectionate Friends and Servants.
"For the Right Honourable the Earl of Warwick, Lord High Admiral of Engl."
