May it please your Honours.
We are very sensible of the Privileges of your House and
the Power invested in your Honours in raising and applying
the publick Money, and never had the least Intention of invad-
ing or infringing either or to make any positive Agreement
with Major Sewall or any person whatsoever on behalf of the
Publick exclusive of your Honours. But as the Papers lay
before our House We thought it would contribute to the Dis-
patch of Business to come to Terms with Major Sewall as
soon as possible, and to inform your Honours of our Proceed-
ings for your Concurrence or Alteration which we did with
all the Speed that could be and while Maj^r Sewall was in Town.
