It having fallen under the Consideracon of this house
whether It were convenient and consonant to the Rules &
Methods of parliaments and Assemblys that your Excy should
be prsent here whilst the house is sitting.
We have resolved that the same As it hath not heretofore
been usuall so It ought not now to be practicable therefore
humbly desire that when your Excy pleases to conferr with this
house you will order us to attend you att the Councill Cham-

Government that We should there attend your Excy then that
you should give your selfe the Trouble to come downe to us.
We are with all dutifull respects your Excys most humble
Servant.
