40. Sir Thos. Lake to [Salisbury.] The King thinks the adjournment of Parliament should be longer than till Monday, in order to
give time for consideration of his Council, with whom he would not
have a formal meeting, because it would seem as though some great
matter were in hand. The Parliament to be prorogued on pretence
that the gentlemen of the better sort should be in their country
residences about Christmas, in order to relieve the people with
