FIVE MOTIONS Moved in the House of PEERS,  
FIrst, for the removing of Papists from the Court.  
2. For taking them quite off of all places of Command whatsoever, in their several Counties: as Lieutenants, Deputy Lieutenants, judges of liar, and Terminer, and justices of the Peace, &c.

5. For taking away from them Licences, formerly granted, and to restrain the Grant of them for time to come; according to several Propositions, sent up to their Lordships, by the House of Commons.   

THE EXAMINATION OF Divers Irish apprehended as suspicious persons.  
THE House of Commons being informed of some Irish people lately come over; which were held to be suspicious persons, who lodged at one Mr. Rosses in Rosemary Lane: whereupon order was given for the search of the said house, and the bringing of such Irish, as should be there found in the house: to the end they might be examined what account they could give for their repair hither.  
And notice was given to the house of eight Irish men, and three women that were taken, and brought thither by virtue of their warrant; whereupon Order was given for their safe custody, and a Committee was appointed to meet in the Inner-Chamber of the Court of Wards, and to examine them: Then the Irish being thither brought before them, were examined what occasions they had hero in London, and whether they brought, received, or sent away Letters into Ireland, since their arrival: but they were found to repair hither only for necessity's sake. And one of them in his Examination being demanded of what Religion he was, answered, a Protestant: and being asked how long he had been so, answered, three weeks: and being further demanded how he came so lately to be converted, having been a Papist all his life-time before: he answered, that he was taken one night in the watch, and they converted him, which caused a smiling.  
After their Examination, it was ordered, that they should be sent unto the gatehouse. But after their Report, being delivered into the House by the Committee: upon consideration thereof, they gave order for their discharge.  
And it was likewise ordered, that their Host, captain English, an Irishman: upon Information, that he had been lately in Spain, should be brought before the same Committee to be examined: who when he came, did answer very crossly; and being asked what countryman he was, said, his name was English, and the like Answers he made to other Questions; for which peremptoriness, he was turned over to the Lord chief Justice to be further examined, with specification, that good bail should be taken for his forthcoming.   

THE King's majesty's Speech to the Lord Major, Recorder, and Aldermen of LONDON.  
HIS Majesty expressed his gracious acceptance of their loyalty, and Obedience, and that he was throughly possessed by that day's Action, of the Truth of their Affection towards him, as became good Subjects: and though he had heretofore doubted thereof; yet now finding to the contrary, hereafter they should find Him to bear in mind their loves: and promised them to govern, according to the laws of the Land; and especially, he would have great care for the maintaining of the true Protestant Religion: according to the purity it was established by his late famous predecessors, Queen Elizabeth, and his royal Father King James  
And for that part of london-derry, which had not long since been given to him by Law, he would most freely confirm, and settle it on them again; so soon as the present jars, and rebellion in Ireland is quieted. And for what other requests they had made to him, he would have them in mind, and satisfy them therein, with all conveniency.   

HIS majesty's Message, to the Lord's House, by the Lord-Keeper.  
His Majesty was expected at the Lord's House on Friday last; and great preparation was made for his coming; but because he came not, it pleased his Majesty to send a Message by the Lord-Keeper, as followeth.  
THat his Majesty thought it fitting, that the trained bands should be discharged, having long attended on both houses: not only in respect that it was a great burden unto them, but also that he hoped, that there was no cause of danger, which might require their attendance any longer.  
When the Lords had received this Message, they sent word thereof to the House of Commons.  

The Answer of the House of Commons.  
The House of Commons returned a Message to the Lords, desiring them to join with them in petitioning to his Majesty, that they might be continued for some few days longer, till the affairs of the House were better settled.  
The Lords joined with them, and sent to his Majesty to Hampton Court, to move him therein.  
They who carried the Message to the King, were the Earl of Warwick, and the Earl of Bristol.    

His majesty's Answer,  
THe Lords brought this Answer from His Majesty, that he was pleased that the trained Bands should be continued for four or five days longer; till such time as the House of Commons had delivered up their Reasons, for longer continuance of them: and that on Tuesday next, he would be there himself, and then receive them.  

Die Saturni. Novemb. 27. 1641.  
An Order for the recalling of the trained Bands to their daily Attendance again.  
To the captains of the Court of Guard.  
THis is to require and command your Attendance, as formerly, till further Order shall be by his majesty, and the House taken therein.
