WHereas the Lords in the upper House of Parliament, do finde 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 Ma­jesties loving Subjects upon their Lordships▪ who cannot give a dispatch to private businesses, by reason of the many publike and great Affairs that now lie before them, con­cerning the Safety and Weale of His Majesties King­doms:

It is therefore thought fit, and so Ordered by the Lords in Parliament, That all private businesses shall be hereby deferred and put off, untill the 21. of March next: Whereof this House doth hereby give notice to all His Majesties lo­ving people, to prevent the charge and trouble, which other­wise the Petitioners might be put unto in repairing unto this House at this time.
