And they do Likewise Conceive that the two Members of
the Lower house were Sufficiently Empowered to Deliver the
Sense of the Lower house upon that Paper Sent them which
carried the Concurrence of the Upper house in Explicitt Terms
Sure we are that the Answer brought to that Paper by M^r Car-
vile and M^r Sibrey was Delivered in the Plain Words and
terms as it now stands upon Our Journal and was also
Strengthened by what Col Lowe brought from the Lower
house which is likewise upon Our Journal, So that to go back
from all this is certainly to Destroy all manner of faith, that
should be given to Persons under the Qualifications that M^r
Carvile and M^r Sibrey then Stood and so farr from a Privi-
ledge which the Lower house of Assembly may pretend to
