And as to the bill for punnishment of Certayne offences &c
This house doe agree that the maine end and designe of both
houses in the grand Comtee was to take Off the severity of
Inflicting many and severall punnishments for One Offence
and still hope that the bill Humbly Offered by this house to
the vpper house will answere that end being perswaded -that
there is noe Alteraccon between the Act now offered and the
former, but in that particular, And were this house sencible of
any materiall deviation from what was agreed on they would
very readily Amend.
As to the Act for killing of woolves, This house Caused
that bill to be drawn & past this house, pursuant to the
Agreemt of the Grand Committee of both houses.

scribed [and signed by the] Clerke of this house, which being
done, the same was sent to the vpper house by Capt Hill and
Mr Hutchings;
The messengers returne and say they have delivered the
