SPEECH XI. Second Conference with the same, 13 April 1657.

-

-

Endeavours to rebut their arguments, used in the
former Conference, in favour of the Title. Not of
necessity; at best only of expediency or advantage.
John Hampden and the Ironsides. Leaves the matter
undecided: Conference to be renewed.

XII. Third Conference with the same, 20 April 1657

Replies to their argument drawn from Law; contends
that whatever Title they, the Parliament, establish, be
it that of Protector or another, will be law. For the
rest, the matter not an essential; unimportant in com-
parison with others in this New Instrument of Govern-
ment, to which others let us rather address ourselves.
Conference to be renewed on the morrow.

XIII. Fourth Conference with the Committee of Ninety-
nine, 21 April 1657

Animadverts on various Articles of the Petition and

Advice, or New Instrument, which seem to require re-

consideration: leaves that of the Kingship unmeddled

Briefly refuses the Title of King.
