Conference- Union with Scotland.

Sir Henry Mountague, Recorder of London, One of the Committee appointed for the late Meeting with the Lords, maketh Report of what was delivered by their Lordships; which, he said, in the End tended wholly to an earnest urging of a free Conference; because (as was said) if all were Hearers, none Speakers, it would be uncomfortable; and that by Silence there was Impediment in the Business, by a free Consultation there might be some better Speed.

Upon this Report, it was disputed what was to be done?

1. Whether to confer.

2. Whether to handle the Instrument intirely, or to distribute.

3. Whether to proceed by a continued Conference, of by a Committee amongst themselves.

4. What Answer to be given to the Lords.

The Dispute continued, without Resolution, till next Morning.
