Gentl. We have received your Message of this Day by
Col^o Hoskins and three others and cannot but once more
express our Sentiments to you that since you have denied the
Conferrence proposed in Order to inforce her Majesty's Royal
Commands to this Province laid before you at the Beginning
of this Session we must conclude that some of your House are
possessed with a mistaken Zeal of the Interest of your Coun-
try which seems to have a great Influence on and mislead
others wherefore we once more demand a Conferrence with
the Members of your House upon the aforesaid subject Matter
which if you shall contrary to the Course and Practice of Par-
liaments refuse us we shall be obliged to assert the Honour
and Reputation of this Board by such proper Measures as we
shall think most advisable
