to be joynt keepers of the said seal and to sign in his Ldp's
behalf all Instruments that passed under the same And in the
late Commission from his Ldp constituting the said Coll:
Darnall to be sole keeper (Itt has been supposed) there is
nothing that revokes the former in point of signeing butt onely

|
Comisn to the said Coll: Darnall alone to be Keeper of the
Great Seal did intend the same Powers, Authorityes and
Priviledges to the said Coll: Darnall, as he had before done
in his joynt Comission to the said Coll: Darnall and Coll:
Digges, And that the said Coll: Darnall ought to sign all In-
and strewments that passes under the sd Great seal himself
Order only, and doe therefore hereby order that for the future
untill his Lordship's pleasure be other wayes known the said
Coll: Darnall alone sign to all Instruments whatsoever that
passes the said Seal in as ample manner as the said Coll:

Confirma-
tion of what

ratine confirm and hold for valid whatsoever Instrue-
ments that have passed under the Great Seal of this
Province either with the said Coll: Darnall's signeing
|
alone or with the joynt signing of the said Coll: Darnall and
Coll Digges by the occasion aforesaid.

opinion to the
contrary.
|
The honble Maj: Nicho Sewall desired his opinion
might be entred that he beleeves itt was not his
Lordship's intention the said Coll. Darnall should
|
sign alone but that Coll: Digges ought still to sign together
with the said Coll: Darnall to all Instruements that oass the said

the Order
passed.

with Maj: Sewall the aforegoeing Order for Coll: Dar-
nall to sign alone passed the Board.
