This sum was put into the Chest at the meeting accordingly.

Ordered that the President accompanied by Sir Robert Moray and Sir Paul Neile, present to his Majesty the Report of the Lords Commissioners about the business of Chelsey College when they see a convenient time to do so; and also the Treasurer to issue out whatever sum of money for this as thought necessary by Sir Anthony Morgan

Ordered, that the answer, brought in by Mr Palmer, to the case concerning the plurality of deputations of Vice-presidents (as it was stated at the meeting on 4 June last) be recorded upon the Journal book of the Council, as follows;
'I do conceive the President can make but one Deputy at one time; but I do conceive if he make two Deputations to two several persons, to avoyd the inconvenience of the absence of one of them, that such of the Deputies, as come first may Act, and the Entry will bee before such an one lawfully deputed, and there being no matters of moment then acted, it will do well enough. But if one Deputy sit, and after another, the Deputation to the first eraseth.'
