Armes, rendered the aforesaid Agreement betwixt those said
Colonies vaine upon w^ch the aforesaid Governor & Councell
of Virginia addresse their foresaid Representation to his Ma^ty
& the L^ds of his most Hon^ble Privy Councell by way of complaint
against the Lord Baltemore as an obstructor of the public good
of those Colonies. The Lord Baltemore, by his answer to the
said Representacon declared amongst divers other reasons
against any Prohibition of Planting Tobacco in those Colonies,
That upon a former petition from the Governor & Councell of
Virginia divers proposalls for lessening the quantity of Tobacco
offered to the Councell Board and referred to the Com^rs of
Lords of his Ma^ties Privy Councell for Plantacons, & after
serious consideracon of what was offer'd on behalf of both
Colonies concerning a Cessacon, Limitation or stint of Planting
Tobacco in the said Plantacons was inconvenient both to the
Planters & his Ma^ties Customes upon their Lop^s Report, where-
upon it was ordered (his Ma^ty present in Councill) the 25^th of
November 1664. That there should be no Cessation, stint
or limitation imposed on the Planting of Tobacco in those
Colony's or Plantacons. Wherewith the difference concerning
the matter between both Colonys were (as he humbly conceived)
determined, & th^l in pursuance of that order, he declared his
dissent to the foresaid Act in Maryland.
