Valuable Estates we and our posterity are likely to Enjoy and
whereas the greatest Caution is Necessary to be given by per-
sons Enjoying places of so great Concern So we take it In-
dispensibly to lye on us to Represent our thoughts on this
Occasion to your Excellency and Honours whom we intreat to
enter into Such measures as may be most Conducive for the
Security of so lasting and great an Interest for the future,
which Precaution, we humbly think Necessary to be used with
the Other great Offices in this Province, we apprehend there
has been no Security already given on such occasions nor
any oath for the due Execution of their Offices.
