It being put to the Question, whether the Lords would Order that it should be voated that the said Order of the 16 ^th 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 puting 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 concerne so neerly the quiet and Government of the Church: And therfore 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) certaine Voates of theirs against divers Innovations, in, or about the Worship of God, lately practised in this Kingdome, without Warrant of Law. And therfore to acquit our selves of the dangers and Inconveniences that might arise by the Printing and publishing of the said Order of the 16 ^th of January, as binding to the whole Kingdome, without desiring the consent of the House of Commons, We did protest our disassents to this Voate: And doe thus enter it as aforesaid.
