Harleian 6424 on proceedings in the House of Lords in 1640-1641

When the Covid pandemic began, I started to sit in on seminars on the early modern period which were then becoming available on the internet. I was surprised to find in the chat box at the first or second one I was present at an enquiry as to whether I was who I am. Did the enquirer think I had passed away? Anyway, I suspect I ought to try to publish rather more and, right now, am considering whether to publish my transcript of the account of proceedings in the House of Lords at the start of the Long Parliament. Conrad Russell attributed it to John Warner, Bishop of Rochester, but overlooked the one authentic account by Warner in BL Additional Ms,28,000 whch had actually been published by Dorothy Gardiner in her 1937 edition of the Oxinden letters.
