The Upper House. 7

Created much uneasiness in the minds of a great majority of
the people so I hope the effectual Care that has been taken by
the Lords Prop^ry & Guilford for their speedy removall from
their Imployments will put an end to all feuds & Animosities
amongst you. The Cause of your Complaints being now re-
moved It is Justly Expected the Effects shou'd Cease of Course
And I doubt not you will shew yourselves true Protestants
Indeed by your Charitable Demeanour to your neighbours of
another p swasion, since it is no longer in their power to do you
any Injury.
However I may have been psonally ill represented in Great
Brittain for doing my approved duty of exerting the Laws
against such who made no Scruple to Invade them Yet I shall
never forget that maxim I learn't when a Soldier That whilst
the enemy was in Armes, to oppose them with a vigorous

no wise State will ever suffer to be Infringed.

making some Competent Provision for Schools And it would
be happy if there was a foundacon at least for one in Every
County but as yet there is but slender Incouragem^t given nay
the funds that are Directed for the maintainance of Schools
are of so Inconsiderable a Value that unless you think Proper
to make better provisions to that pious & useful end even the
School of Annapolis which begins to Increase & flourish must
for want of due Support be laid aside. The Province is now
in the most happy Condicon that ever it was since the first
Settlem^t. I bless God I live to see the happy Change in your
Affairs since Providence has been so Indulgent to you and
put the means into yo^r hands Exert yourselves to advance the
honour & Interest of your Country for the particular good of
your Children who were they sensible of the Irretrievable loss
they will sustain in the want of a liberall Education in their
youth they would Join their Tears to my Entreaties
By the Lords Propry & Guilford's Comand I laid before the
last Session of Assembly his L^dps right to the Ordinary Lycen-
