Die Iovis 5o. Maii. 1642.  
Lords' HOUSE.  
WHereas the Lords in the upper House of Parliament, do find that there are many Petitions concerning private persons depending now before their Lordships, and conceive that many more may be brought into that House, if timely advertisement be not given to the contrary, which may occasion the repair and Attendance of divers of his majesty's loving Subjects upon their Lordships, who cannot give a dispatch to private businesses, by reason of the many public and great affairs that now lie before them, concerning the safety and weal of his majesty's Kingdoms:  
It is therefore thought fit, and so Ordered by the Lords in Parliament, That all private Petitions shall be hereby deferred and put off, until the firstday of Michaelmas term being the 24th of October next, and then their Lordships will proceed according to the order as they came in: Whereof this House doth hereby give notice to all his majesty's loving people, to prevent the charge and trouble, which otherwise the Petitioners might be put unto in repairing unto this house at this time.
