Prayers said, rolls called.
The earl of Loudoun, chancellor, exhibited in face of parliament five letters directed to them: one from the parliament of England, dated at Westminster, 24 June 1645; another from the commissioners at London, dated at Worcester House, 27 June 1645; a third from the committee at the army in England, dated at Nottingham, 1 July 1645; the fourth from the said commissioners, dated 8 July instant; the fifth from the parliament of England, dated at Westminster, 12 July 1645; which letters, after public reading, were taken into consideration by the estates, who having heard the said lord chancellor make a verbal summary relation of the present condition of affairs in England, in which they found themselves well satisfied, and that the said noble lord had with great care and fidelity discharged that trust put upon him as a worthy patriot and deserved thanks and approbation for the present until their weighty affairs would permit them to take his lordship's merit and pains to a more particular consideration and hear his lordship make a full report of such particulars as did occur during his lordship's negotiation.
