380 Assembly Proceedings, October—November 1682.

U. H. Journal
1659-98

Lordship had only (as hath been usuall in all Assemblies) rec-
ommended to them principally those two things, but it could
not be thence inferred that his Lordship thereby had tyed up
his hands from Offering to their Consideration any thing else
Material, especially when the Lower house themselves Sud-
denly after and at the Begining of this Sessions had pitched
upon new Matters for which they had Sett out their Committees
The Amendment and perfecting of the Bill therefore further
pressed to them according to their own Vote Since Eight and
forty hours or a less time may Compleat the Same, which being
of so great Importance to this Province, This house desire
they will not wholly Wave it for a few hours time and there-
fore if they think fitt to return to their house and take the
Same into their further Consideration & Debate this house
would readily Join with them in a full Body or by a Committee
of both houses to make Such Additions or Amendments of
the said Bill as shall be thought Necessary; But this house
earnestly press that a Bill so Beneficial and Material to the
Province as they Conceive this to be may not be wholly
Quashed—
They go to their house to Consider of it
This house Adjourns till Monday Morning 9 a Clock.
