After debate about the Printing and Publishing of the Orders of the 16th of January last, which followeth in these words, Viz.  
IT is this day Ordered by the Lords spiritual and temporal, in the High Court of Parliament: That the Divine Service be performed, as it is appointed by the Acts of Parliament of this realm. And that all such as shall disturb that wholesome Order, shall be SEVERELY punished according to Law. And the Parsons, vicars, and curates, in their several Parishes, shall forbear to introduce any Rites or Ceremonies that may give offence, otherwise then those which are established by the Laws of the Land.

It being put to the Question, whether the Lords would Order that it should be voated that the said Order of the 16th of January should be Printed and published, before a Conference desired with the House of Commons concernit. We whose Names are underwritten did disassent; and having before the putting of the Question demanded our right of Protestation, did accordingly make our Protestation: That We held it fit and necessary to have the consent of the House of Commous in those things which concern so nearly the quiet and Government of the Church: And therefore we desired to have a Conference with the House of Commons before any Conclusive Order were Printed or published herein; Especially the House of Commons having but lately brought to us, (and desired the consent of our House unto) certain Voates of theirs against divers Innovations, in, or about the Worship of God, lately practised in this kingdom, without Warrant of Law. And therefore to acquit ourselves of the dangers and Inconveniences that might arise by the Printing and publishing of the said Order of the 16th of January, as binding to the whole kingdom, without desiring the consent of the House of Commons, We did protest our disassents to this Voate: And do thus enter it as aforesaid.
