Resolved, That the Sentence now read shall be the Sen∣tence of this Court for the Condemnation of the King, which shall be Read and Published in Westminster-Hall this day.

The Court hereupon considered of certain Instru∣ctions for the Lord President, to manage the Business of this day in Westminster-Hall; and Ordered,

That the Lord President do manage what Discourse shall happen between him and the King, according to his discretion, with the advice of his two Assistants; and that in case the King shall still persist in excepting against the Courts Jurisdiction, to let him know that the Court do still affirm their Jurisdiction.

That, in case the King shall submit to the Jurisdiction of the Court, and pray a Copy of the Charge, that then the Court do withdraw and advise.

That, in case the King shall move any thing else worth the Courts Consideration, that the Lord President upon Advice of his said Assistants, do give Order for the Courts with∣drawing to advise.

That, in case the King shall not submit to Answer, and there happen no such Cause of withdrawing, that then the Lord President do command the Sentence to be read; but that the Lord President should hear the King say what he would before the Sentence, and not after.

And thereupon it being further moved, Whether the Lord President should use any Discourse or Speeches to the King, as in the case of other Prisoners to be condemned, was usual before the Publishing of the Sentence, received general Directions to do therein as he should see cause, and to press what he should conceive most seasonable and sutable to the Occasion. And it was further directed, That after the Reading of the Sentence, the Lord President should declare, that the same was the Sentence, Judgment and Resolution of the whole Court, and that the Commissioners should thereupon signifie their Consent by standing up.

The Court forthwith Adjourned it self to Westmin∣ster-Hall.
