consistent with Our unfeigned Loyalty, and the true Interest and
Safety of this Province, to be without a Session, than without the
Act of Arms and Ammunition now in force, or another of the like
Continuance
But Gentlemen to give a further Proof that Our , Intentions are
equally earnest for his Majestys Service in other Parts, as well as
in this Province, and to promote the Levies with as much Ease, and
as little Burthen as may be to the People, we now propose, that, if
upon Calculation there should be found Money in Bank arising from
the Fund of Arms and Ammunition, sufficient as well to encourage
the Levies ordered by his Majesty, as to purchase Arms and Am-
munition for the whole Province, we will most chearfully dispatch
any proper Bill for that Purpose Provided another Bill be sent to
us for continuing the Law of Arms & Ammunition for three or any
other Number of Years and to the End of the next Session
