U. H. J.

His Excellency's Answer to this house's Address being de-
livered by his Excy to this house is ordered to be Entered, and
is as follows viz.

Gentl of the Upper house of Assembly
The generous Zeale you Express for the Welfare of your
Country and your vigorous resolutions to oppose all such as
shall break in on your Constitution as they are Effects of your
Wisdom and Fortitude so they Cannot faile of the Approba-
tion of all Good Subjects and Good Protestants. I do with a
gratefull mind acknowledge that It is in good Measure Owe-
mg to your just Steady and well Concerted Councills that my
Adm^rcon has mett with the Applause you are pleased to Men-
tion, For which and for so many repeated Instances of your
Esteem, I give you my Sincere and Hearty thanks And shall
ever Preserve your Address as an Honour to my Family.
I assure you I am farr from having Inclinations to leave
you by a Voluntary Choice And accept of the Concern you
shew on that Occasion as another Endearing mark of your
good will towards me and sett too high a Value on your opin-
ion to forfeit it by Lessening that Honour which is due to
the Dignity of your Gov^t or by prefering my Interest to my
Integrity.
Jo. Hart.
