happy mistake as in the yeare 1699 by Joyning of them all to-
gether soe that it hath been offered that his Maty, cannot give
his consent to any laws unless to all and in like manner dis-
allow of any single Act unless the whole be involved in the
same determinacon upon this important occasion we are very
Desireous to have a Conferrence with M^r Speaker and some
competent memb^r of yo^r house that if possible wee may timely
obviate any prejudice or detryment ariseing therefrom in
which we shall heartily Joyne with you.
