Message to the Commons, by
Mr. Serjeant Crewe and
Mr. Attorney General:

Message to the H. C. that they are ready to give Judgement against Manwaring.

That the Lords are ready to proceed to Judgement against Dr. Manwaring, if they, with their Speaker, will come to demand the same.

Answered:
They will come presently.

Dr. Manwaring at the Bar.

The Lords being in their Robes, Roger Manwaringe, Doctor in Divinity, was brought to the Bar, by the Serjeant at Arms; and the Commons, with their Speaker, came.

Mr. Speaker said,

"My Lord,

Commons demand Judgement against him.

"The Knights, Citizens, and Burgesses, of the Commons House of Parliament, have impeached before your Lordships Roger Manwaringe, Clerk, Doctor in Divinity, of divers enormous Crimes, for which your Lordships have convented him before you, and examined the said Offences. And now the Commons have commanded me their Speaker, to demand Judgement against him for the same."

Then the Lord Keeper pronounced the Judgement against him, in these Words: videlicet,

Judgement pronounced against him.

"Whereas Roger Manwaringe, Doctor in Divinity, hath been impeached by the House of Commons, for Misdemeanors of a high Nature, in Preaching of Two Sermons before His Majesty, in Summer last, which are since published in Print, in a Book, intituled, Religion and Allegiance; and in a Third Sermon, preached in the Parish Church of St. Gyles's in the Fields, the Fourth of May last: And their Lordships have considered of the said Doctor Manwaring's Answer thereunto expressed, with Tears and Grief for his Offence, most humbly craving Pardon therefore of the Lords and Commons; yet nevertheless, for that it can be no Satisfaction for the great Offences wherewith he is charged by the said Declaration, which do evidently appear in the very Words of the said Two Sermons, their Lordships have proceeded to Judgement against him; and therefore this High Court doth adjudge:

His Sentence.

"1. That Roger Manwaringe, Doctor in Divinity, shall be imprisoned, during the Pleasure of the House.

"2. That he shall be fined at a Thousand Pounds to the King.

"3. That he shall make such Submission and Acknowledgement of his Offences as shall be set down by a Committee in Writing, both here at the Bar, and in the House of Commons.

"4. That he shall be suspended, for the Term of Three Years, from the excercising of the Ministry; and, in the mean Time, a sufficient Preaching Minister shall be provided out of the Profits of his Living, to serve the Cure. This Suspension and this Provision of a Preaching Minister shall be done by the Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction.

"5. That he shall be for ever disabled to preach at the Court hereafter.

"6. That he shall be for ever disabled to have any Ecclesiastical Dignity, or Secular Office.

"7. That his said Book is worthy to be burnt; and that, for the better effecting of this, His Majesty may be moved, To grant a Proclamation, to call in said Book, that they may be all burnt accordingly, in London, and in both the Universities; and for the inhibiting the Printing thereof hereafter, upon a great Penalty.

"And this is the Judgement of the Lords."

Then the Commons departed, and Dr. Manwaringe was sent Prisoner to The Fleet.

The Bishop of Lincoln reported the Answer of the Lord Bishop of London unto the Message sent him by the House, 12th June, to this Effect: videlicet,

Report of the Bishop of London's Answer to the Message of the Lords.

"That the Lord Bishop of London answered, That he received a Letter from the Lord Bishop of Bath and Wells the last Summer, for the Printing and Publishing of Dr. Manwaring's Two Sermons, by His Majesty's Command. And that thereupon his Lordship did give way for the Printing thereof, without further Examination; and caused these Words; videlicet, ["Published by His Majesty's Special Command"] to be put on the Front of the said Book, that it might appear to be printed by His Majesty's Authority, and not by his Lordship's Approbation."

Whereupon the said Lord Bishop of Bath and Wells, being present, said, "That he could give no sudden Answer unto this Report; but acknowledged that he wrote the said Letter unto the Bishop of London, by His Majesty's express Commandment, That the said Two Sermons should be printed; which Letter, he said, he wrote the last Summer from Woodstocke, when His Majesty was there."

And the Earl of Mountgomery affirmed, upon his Honour, "That he was then present at Woodstocke; and heard His Majesty command the Bishop of Bath and Wells to cause the said Book to be printed; and that the said Bishop desired His Majesty to think better of it, for that there were many Things therein which will be very distasteful to the People."

And the Duke of Buckingham, and the Earls of Suff. and Dorsett, protested, on their Honours, "That they have since heard His Majesty affirm as much."

Adjourn.

Dominus Custos Magni Sigilli declaravit præsens Parliamentum continuandum esse usque in diem Lunæ proximum, videlicet, 16m diem instantis Junii, hora nona, Dominis sic decernentibus.
