[" Ireland"], insert these Words ["and also the
Ship and Goods of any other Person whatsoever,
Foreigner or other'].
"In the same Folio, Linea 7a, after the Words ["belonging to"], leave out the Words [" the Subjects
of any"], and insert these Words ["any Foreigner
or"].
"In the same Folio, Linea 10a, after the Word
[Parliament"], insert these Words ["and adjudging
and condemning the same, together with the Goods
themselves, and all such other Goods as belong to
the Master or the Laders of such Contrabanded
Goods"].

Ambassadors and Agents, and published upon The
Exchange."

L. Savill to be released upon Bail, on account of his Health.
The Petition of the Lord Savill was read; shewing,
"That, after a long Imprisonment, he is fallen into
a very desperate Condition of his Health; and that
he is assured by his Physician (the sworn Physician
of this Place), that the Hope of his Life and Cure
will much depend upon his being removed to some
House in the Town, where he may have Liberty to
take the Air, have Opportunity of Help, and enjoy
some Quiet of Mind and Spirit; as will appear by
his Certificate, which he humbly annexeth:
"Therefore the Petitioner beseecheth their Lordships, that his sad Condition may be taken
into Consideration; and to grant him his Liberty, until he shall have recovered his Health,
or it shall be otherwise thought fit to return
him back to this Place; which he will engage his Honour to perform, whensoever he
shall have Notice thereof from the Lieutetenant of The Tower; and in the mean Time
to be his true and faithful Prisoner, under
such Limitations as this House shall think
fit."

Savill stands committed for his Contempt to the Commands of both Houses of Parliament, which this House
is sensible of; yet, in Consideration of the great Indisposition of Health now upon the Lord Savill, this
House is willing to give the Lord Savill Leave to be
for a Time in some convenient Place in or near London,
