and Welfare of his Lordship and this Province are favoured
with his Lordships Approbation.
And we shall faithfully Endeavour to Pursue the samp
Ends in Considering such further Commands from their
Lordships as your Excy shall be Pleased to Communicate to
us by way of message.
Wee humbly take Leave to Acquaint your Excy that from
your Excys steady and Prudent Conduct of Affairs and the
Happy Conclusion of the last Sessions, wee had Great hopes
that not only your Excy in Particular but all his Majesty's
Good Subjects in Generall throughout this Province might
have Enjoy'd such leisure and Tranquillity as you are Pleased

this Province Could be Instrumentall in the Diverting your

The Relation your Excy is Pleased to Give us of the Steps
the Roman Catholicks were taking to advance their Power is
very Convinceing and lays us under the Greatest Obligations
of Gratitude to your Excy for so Generously Opposeing them
and setting the whole matter in a Clear light before their
Ldshpps without which these their Subtill Jesuiticall falsities

Romans and their Adherents are in their Endeavours to heap
