Prayers said. The rolls called.
The minuts of the last sederunt read.
Moved by some lords and other members that the protest taken on Friday last against the adjournment of the parliament as a breach of priviledge and interruption of their reasoning may be marked in the minuts. It was declared by the lord chancellor that there was no manner of design by that adjournment to incroach upon the priviledges of parliament but, it being then late and sundry of the members pressing for a delay, the adjournment followed, but it was expresly declared that the debate was to be resumed the next dyet of parliament. Upon which declaration the said lords and other members rested satisfied and declared they had no other intention in useing that protestation but singly for conservation of the priviledge of parliament, whereupon the parliament resolved to proceed where they left.
The lord chancellor, by order of her majesties' high commissioner, adjourned the parliament till to morrow at ten a clock.
