Soame Knight the substance of which Vote being unknown to most wherefore nothing being expressed therein and being generally conceived that some great Crime is contained therein which occasioned those Votes in regard the punishment thereby inflicted was so great and heavy therefore it is thought very necessary as well for information of others as for Sir Thomas his just vindication to make a true relation thereof by publishing the three Votes together as in the Journal of the House doth appear Book numb. 15. fol. 1090 and 1091. viz.
