Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
THURSDAY, December 6, the whole convocation, both bishops and others, were sent for to Lambeth to the cardinal, who the same day forgave them all their perjurations, schisms, and heresies, and they all there kneeled down, and received his absolution; and after an exhortation and gratulation for their conversion to the catholic church, made by the cardinal, they departed.
WEDNESDAY, December 12, five of the eight men which lay in the Fleet, that were of Mr. Throgmorton's jury, were discharged, and set at liberty upon paying a fine of 220l. a-piece: and the other three put up a supplication, therein declaring, that their goods did not amount to the sum that they were appointed to pay; upon which declaration, paying 40l. a-piece, they were delivered out of prison on the 21st of December.
SATURDAY, December 22, the parliament had a strict command, that none of them should depart into the country this Christmas, nor before the parliament were ended. Which command was very contrary to their expectations; for as well many of the Lords, as also many of the commons, had sent for their horses, and had them brought hither.
