Gentlemen.
In Answer to your Message by M^r Courts and Captain
Hooper the Journal of Acc^ts now lies before us, and Requires
some Time for our Consideration; and we conceive it not Con-
sonant to the Wisdom of publick Assemblies to do things in an

at a small delay, w^ch may prevent great Mistakes; and you
may Assure yourselves that nothing that is Proper to be done
on our parts shall be wanting towards the happy Ending of
the present Sessions
