Bennet was
brought in, Besides my Lord Bristoll being a Catholique himself,
all this is very strange. These are the main of the Articles.
Upon which my Lord Chancellor desired the noble Lord that brought
in these Articles, would sign to them with his hand; which my
Lord Bristoll did presently. Then the House did order that the
Judges should, against Monday next, bring in their opinion,
Whether these articles are treason, or no? and next, they would
know, Whether they were brought in regularly or no, without leave
of the Lords' House?
11th. By barge to St. Mary's Creeke; where Commissioner Pett,
(doubtful of the growing greatnesse of Portsmouth by the finding
of those creekes there,) do design a wett docke at no great
charge, and yet no little one; he thinks towards 10,000l. And
the place, indeed, is likely to be a very fit place, when the
King hath money to do it with.
13th. I walked to the Temple; and there, from my cousin Roger,
hear that the Judges have this day brought in their answer to the
Lords, That the articles against my Lord Chancellor are not
Treason; and to-morrow they are to bring in their arguments to
the House for the same.
