Whereupon the Lord Treasurer very effectually remembered the Three Points Yesterday proposed by the Messengers of the Commons House; wherein they required, that the Committees of this House would come prepared and authorized to confer. Then his Lordship briefly shewed his Opinion in them severally; and concluded, That, as of some Matters so proposed, the Lords which shall be Committees may of themselves, by Warrant of this House, resolve and treat, in such Sort as Occasion at such Conference shall be offered; so his Lordship conceived, that other Points are of such Kind as this House may not well proceed in, without acquainting His Majesty, and first receiving His Pleasure and Direction in the same. Which Opinion was generally allowed; and thereupon Agreed, That the Lords under-named shall this Afternoon attend His Majesty, and acquaint Him with the Message and Particulars of the Desire and Motion of the Commons House Yesterday here delivered, and therein humbly to pray His Highness's Pleasure and Direction.
Message to the House of Commons, to acquaint them with the Reasons for delaying the Conference.
And, because the Commons should not long expect the Answer of this House, it was likewise Agreed, That Mr. Baron Altham and Mr. shall presently deliver to the Lower House the Cause, as aforesaid, why the Lords do forbear, as yet, to send them a direct Answer to the Message Yesterday by them sent to their Lordships, which they shall receive as soon as such Lords as are appointed to attend His Majesty shall be returned. But, before the said Mr. Baron Altham and Mr. came to the Place, that House was risen and departed.
