The sixth Day.

MOnday, December 6. 1680. about 11 the Court being sat, and the Prisoner at the Bar, his Petition was read, which was for leave to offer a few things more to clear himself, and which the Ld. H. Steward told him the Lords had granted. He then said, that seeing he had received their Order that his Counsel should not be heard touching the continuance of Impeach∣ments from Parliament to Parliament, he desired that he might offer them his own Conceptions concerning that; urging that they had not yet declared their own Judgments either as to that, or whether they did acquiesce in the Judges Opi∣nions; praying that his Counsel might be heard as to the other points: protesting his own In∣nocency and Abhorrency of Treason: reading then his Case, and repeating his Defence, &c. After which the Lords adjourned into the Parlia∣ment Chamber, and the Commons returned to their House, and received a Message from the Lords, that they had ordered the Prisoner to the Bar to receive Judgment to morrow at 10.
