power_n of_o impeachment_n or_o render_v they_o ineffectual_a the_o commons_o think_v fit_a to_o propose_v to_o your_o lordship_n that_o a_o committee_n of_o both_o house_n may_v be_v appoint_v for_o this_o purpose_n at_o which_o committee_n when_o agree_v to_o by_o your_o lordship_n it_o be_v first_o propose_v that_o the_o time_n of_o the_o trial_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o tower_n shall_v

and_o the_o effect_n of_o this_o agreement_n stand_v report_v upon_o your_o lordship_n book_n after_o which_o the_o commons_o communicate_v to_o your_o lordship_n by_o your_o committee_n a_o vote_n of_o they_o viz._n that_o the_o committee_n of_o commons_o shall_v insist_v upon_o the_o former_a vote_n of_o their_o house_n that_o the_o lord_n spiritual_a ought_v not_o to_o have_v any_o vote_n in_o any_o proceed_n against_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o tower_n and_o that_o when_o that_o matter_n shall_v be_v settle_v and_o the_o method_n of_o proceed_n adjust_v the_o commons_o will_v then_o be_v ready_a to_o proceed_v upon_o the_o trial_n of_o the_o pardon_n of_o the_o earl_n of_o danby_n against_o who_o they_o have_v before_o demand_v judgement_n and_o afterward_o to_o the_o trial_n of_o the_o other_o five_o lord_n in_o the_o tower_n which_o vote_n extend_v as_o well_o to_o the_o earl_n of_o danby_n as_o the_o other_o five_o lord_n but_o the_o commons_o have_v as_o yet_o receive_v nothing_o from_o your_o lordship_n towards_o a_o answer_n to_o that_o vote_n save_v that_o your_o lordship_n have_v acquaint_v they_o that_o the_o bishop_n have_v ask_v leave_n of_o the_o house_n of_o

that_o matter_n and_o yet_o your_o lordship_n without_o have_v give_v the_o commons_o any_o satisfactory_a answer_n to_o the_o say_a vote_n or_o permit_v any_o conference_n or_o debate_n there-upon_a and_o contrary_a to_o the_o say_a agreement_n do_v on_o thursday_n the_o twenty-fourth_a of_o may_n send_v a_o message_n to_o the_o commons_o declare_v that_o the_o lord_n spiritual_a as_o well_o as_o

your_o lordship_n have_v not_o only_o depart_v from_o what_o be_v agree_v on_o and_o in_o effect_n lay_v aside_o that_o committee_n constitute_v for_o preserve_v a_o good_a understanding_n betwixt_o the_o two_o house_n and_o better_a dispatch_n of_o the_o weighty_a affair_n now_o depend_v in_o parliament_n but_o must_v also_o needs_o conclude_v from_o the_o say_a message_n and_o from_o the_o vote_n of_o your_o lordship_n of_o the_o 14_o of_o may_n that_o the_o lord_n spiritual_a have_v a_o right_a to_o stay_v and_o sit_v in_o court_n till_o the_o court_n proceed_v to_o guilty_a or_o not_o guilty_a and_o from_o the_o bishop_n ask_v leave_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o lord_n book_n two_o day_n after_o the_o say_a vote_n that_o they_o may_v withdraw_v themselves_o from_o the_o trial_n of_o the_o five_o lord_n with_o liberty_n of_o enter_v their_o usual_a protestation_n and_o from_o their_o persist_v still_o to_o go_v on_o &_o give_v their_o vote_n in_o proceed_v upon_o the_o impeachment_n that_o their_o desire_n of_o leave_n to_o withdraw_v at_o the_o say_a trial_n be_v only_o a_o evasive_a answer_n to_o the_o forementioned_a vote_n of_o the_o commons_o and_o chief_o intend_v as_o a_o argument_n for_o a_o right_a of_o judicature_n upon_o proceed_n upon_o impeachment_n and_o as_o a_o reserve_v to_o judge_n upon_o the_o earl_n of_o danby_n plea_n of_o pardon_n and_o upon_o these_o and_o other_o like_a impeachment_n although_o no_o such_o power_n be_v ever_o claim_v by_o their_o predecessor_n but_o be_v utter_o deny_v by_o the_o commons_o and_o the_o commons_o be_v the_o rather_o induce_v to_o believe_v it_o so_o intend_a because_o the_o very_a ask_n to_o withdraw_v seem_v to_o imply_v aright_o to_o be_v there_o and_o that_o they_o can_v be_v absent_a without_o it_o because_o by_o this_o way_n they_o will_v have_v it_o in_o their_o power_n whether_o or_o no_o for_o the_o future_a either_o in_o the_o earl_n of_o danby_n case_n or_o any_o other_o they_o will_v ever_o ask_v leave_n to_o be_v absent_a and_o the_o temporal_a lord_n have_v like_a power_n of_o deny_v leave_v if_o that_o shall_v be_v admit_v once_o necessary_a the_o commons_o be_v therefore_o oblige_v not_o to_o proceed_v to_o the_o trial_n of_o the_o five_o lord_n the_o twenty_o seven_o of_o this_o instant_n may_v but_o to_o adhere_v to_o their_o aforesaid_a vote_n and_o for_o their_o so_o do_v beside_o what_o have_v be_v now_o and_o former_o by_o they_o say_v to_o your_o lordship_n do_v offer_v you_o these_o reason_n follow_v the_o reason_n 1._o because_o your_o lordship_n have_v receive_v the_o earl_n of_o danby_n plea_n of_o pardon_n with_o a_o very_a long_a and_o unusual_a protestation_n wherein_o he_o have_v asperse_v his_o majesty_n with_o false_a suggestion_n as_o if_o his_o majesty_n have_v command_v or_o countenance_v the_o crime_n he_o stand_v charge_v with_o and_o particular_o suppress_v and_o discourage_v the_o discovery_n of_o the_o plot_n and_o endeavour_v to_o introduce_v a_o arbitrary_a and_o tyrannical_a way_n of_o government_n which_o remain_v as_o a_o scandal_n upon_o record_n against_o his_o majesty_n tend_v to_o render_v his_o

whatever_o aught_o to_o be_v determine_v before_o that_o of_o the_o five_o lord_n which_o be_v but_o their_o particular_a case_n and_o without_o resort_v to_o many_o authority_n of_o great_a
