This Board think fit to put the house in Mind of preparing

Courtneys, born of an English Woman, and a Christian,
having both her Ears Cropt close to her head by the hands of
her Tyrannicall Master and Mistress be forthwith Manumitted
and Set free, the least Recompence can be bestowed upon her
for so barbarous a Cruelty, and that a Clause for that purpose
be inserted in the said Bill.
Signed pr Order John LLewellin Cl.
