encrease & good of my said stock for in so doing they will
doe me a very acceptable service, w^ch I shall acknowledge to
them in due time.
7. That they vse their best endeavors to discharge the bar-
gaine w^ch was made this yeare for m^r Coplies house at
S^t maries by letting him have his house & land there againe
& a reasonable consideraon allowed vnto him for m^r Gilmetts
time of being in it. w^ch I would have discharged out of some-
what of mine there : And I desire that in case m^r Coply will
not be contented to lett the house to m^r Gilmett till midsom^r
w^ch shalbe anno dni 1645 at some such reasonable rent as my
said Commiss^rs or any two of them (wherof the said m^r G. B.
to be one) shall think fitt; and that m^r Gilmetts and his fami-
lies diett cannot be provided & discharged out of my stock
and ferme at west S^t maries without any notable preiudice to
the said stock, or out of some other profitts belonging to me
there (both w^ch I should be very gladd that my said Comm^rs
could effect for me, and I would willingly allow any reasonable
rent to be paid out of my estate there to m^r Copley for the
said house for so long time, but not to be charged to pay any
thing there for it) then I desire my said Comm^rs in that case to
take care that some other convenient place there be provided
for m^r Gilmetts, & m^r Teeritts residence & diett there to their
contentm^t till the time above mentioned w^th the best accommo-
dation for them & least charge to me that may be. And I
would have them so contrive this busines (if possibly they
can) that m^r Gilmett & m^r Terrett may by all meanes be con-
tinued in that Province till that time : when I doubt not (by the
grace of God) to be able to provide better for them then by
reason of the extremity of the present troubles in England I
could doe this yeare w^ch I hope they will consider & have a
litle patience till then, And this article I doe againe & againe
recommend to my said Commiss^rs care to give me satisfaction
herein.
8. That these Instruccons be read to all the said Commiss^rs
in due time & place to the end they may respectively take
notice of them. Given vnder my hand at Bristoll 18. novem:
