In which Parliamentary matters
January: Severall queres concerning the late proclamation for popish recusants to take the oaths of allegiance and supremacy being putt to the judges, they gave in their opinions thereon to the councill, of which his majestie was pleased to approve, and caused them to be published, to putt in execution accordingly.
The beginning of this month the judges, according to his majesties directions, mett and consulted about the five lords in the Tower and gave their answer to the councill, that though the parliament was prorogued, yet the said lords being impeached in the name of the commons of England, and the impeachment lodged in the house of peers, which is the supream judicature in England, the said lords cannot be tryed but by parliament.
HIs majestie hath been pleased to remove sir Francis Winnington from the place of his sollicitor generall (by the desire of the earl of Danby), and Mr. Finch, the lord chancellours second son, succeeds him therein.
Sir William Waller searching at the Savoy, hath found severall popish books and preists vestments, and in Pickerings lodgings found a gun, Italian make, which is said to be that design'd for killing the king.
The 31st came out an order of councill enforceing the strict execution of the severall proclamations that have come out lately for securing the kings person and government, and the true protestant religion.
