very inconvenient for revising our Laws and that we believe
the examining the Statutes of England will require more
Time than our urgent Occasions will at present admit us to
bestow upon it have referred the same to the Consideration
of next Sessions of Assembly to which we pray your Excys
and Honours Concurrence
