WHereas on the one and twentieth of April last past, there was a Speech spoken in the House of Commons, at the passing of the Bill of Attainder, against Thomas Earl of Strafford, by the Lord Digby, than a Member of the said House: The which Speech contained in it matters untrue, and scandalous, as they have reference to the proceedings of the Committees of the Lord's House, and this, and to the evidence of the Witnesses produced in that cause. And whereas the said Speech was published by the Lord Digby, after that the said Bill of Attainder was past by Vote in this House; and after that, great offence was taken to the said Speech, and the same questioned in this House, to the scandal of the proceedings in this House; and is since come forth in Print, to the scandal of the proceedings of his majesty and both Houses of Parliament. It is therefore this day ordered by the said House that all the said Books so Printed, shall be publicly Burnt on Friday next at Ten of the Clock in the Morning; part of them in the new palace yard at We●●minster, and the other part of them in Chea●side, and the rest in 〈◊〉, by the hands of the common Hangman. And to this purpose the Bailiffs of Westminster, the sheriffs of London and Middlesex, respectively are hereby required, to be assistant to the effectual execution of this Order, and see the said Books burnt accordingly. And it is also ordered by the said House, that the Master and Wardens of the company of Stationers do their uttermost endeavours to collect all the said Books into their hands, remaining now dispersed amongst their company, or with others, and forthwith deliver them to one of the Sheriffs of London to be Burnt, according to this Order. And all others who have any of the said Books in their hands, are hereby required forthwith to deliver them to one of the Sheriffs of London, or Bailiff of Westminster (as they will undergo the displeasure of this House in doing the contrary) for to be Burnt according to this Order.
