All Councellors , after they are admitted , shall , during their stay in the Council-house , sit in decent order according to their places and ranks , and none of them shall stand on their feet after that the Council is once set , untill such time as they shall arise , except any such Councellor who is to answer for himself in any cause , and then he is not to stand in the place wherein he formerly sat , but at the head of the Council Table .

During the time of the Lords sitting , no man whatsoever is to stand covered in their presence , but is to regard them with uncovered heads , as the Representative of His Majesties Presence and Authority .
