First sentence: THE fifth of June in Trinity term, upon Thursday, being no Star-chamber day, at the ordinary hour when the courts sit at Westminster, were assembled together at the lord keeper's house in the great chamber, her Majesty's privy council, enlarged and assisted for that time and cause by the special call and associating of certain selected persons, viz. four earls, two barons, and four judges of the law, making in the whole a council or court of eighteen persons, who were attended by four of her Majesty's learned counsel for charging the earl ; and two clerks of the council, the one to read, the other as a register ; and an auditory of persons, to the number, as I could guess, of two hundred, almost all men of quality, but of every kind or profession; nobility, court, law, country, city.
