ADDITIONS. 



The Queen Q ne thing beside Mr. Dr. Bancroft undertook to affirm 

 there; that her Majesty had read Mr. Cartwright s answer 

 to the Articles : which although it were abruptly brought 

 in, yet it was esteemed that his meaning was thereby to sig 

 nify, that her Majesty, notwithstanding the knowledge of 

 that answer, would have this severe proceeding against him. 

 And this was the sum of what was done at that sitting.
