Gentl.
As we have hitherto Acted in Concert with Your House f or
the Dispatch of Publick Affairs of the Greatest Importance
so we think it would have Contributed to the Continuance
of that good Understanding and Amicable Way of pro-

trey had you thought fit to have Comunicated to us the
Reasons you mencon in Your Message by Coll^o Hynson with

three Others of yo^r House that you have laid Downe to be
Given his Lordship for Assenting to the Act for Officers frees
which might also have been prevailing Reasons with us to
Agree to the Referrence Proposed,
However since you think fit to Conceale your reasons from
us for your so doing, Wee shall for reasons that Occurr to
our Selves wave any further Controversie with you at Present
on That Occasion.
