That this committee sit Tuesdays and Fridays, by three of the clock in the afternoon, in the banqueting-house, court of requests, or painted chamber, the doors being open, and the room well fitted for all comers; and that Mr. Harrington having proposed by appointment of the parliament, such others may propose as shall have the leave of the parliament.

This by friends of the commonwealth is proposed with Mr. HARRINGTON’s consent.

The Reasons for this Proposition are these:

IT is the fairest way of proposing a government, that it be first proposed to conviction, before it be imposed by power.

THE persons herein nominated being convinced, it must necessarily have an healing effect.
