12. The Protector by Letters Patents made four Baronets.
17. The Protector advised about setting up a High Court of Justice, for tryal of the Conspirators now in Prison, he was advised rather to have them proceeded against in the ordinary course of Tryals at the Common Law: but his Highness was too much in love with the new way, and thought it to be the more effectual, and would the more terrifie the Offenders.
19. Several Addresses were made to the Pro∣tector from Regiments of the Army, and from the Forces in Mardike, with professions to adhere to him. The Protector in his Answer to some of them did impart to them, The present designs of the Enemy, that Commissions were sent over hither from the King of Scots, and that he had 4000 men in Flanders ready to be Imbarqued into England to joyn with his Party here, and Ships ready to transport them; and therefore it be∣hoved all honest men to provide for a defence, and to joyn heartily together.
22. Thus the Protector's Party were full of unquietness and alarms, and yet it pleased God to keep up their Spirits from being daunted.
24. Whitclocke and the rest of the Commissioners of the Treasury, the Recorder of London, and the Masters of the Requests, or any two of them ap∣pointed by the Council, a Committee to hear Ap∣peals from Guernsey and Jersey, and to report their opinions therein to the Council.
27. The Commissi•••• of the Seal and of the Trea∣sury, the Judges and many others were nominated Commissioners under the great Seal, for the tryal of the present Conspirators against the Protector and Governour; and Whitclocke was one of them, but he never sate with them, it being against his judgment.
