Eleventh and Twelfth year of his late Majesty King William the
third chapter the fourth there is good Provision made to prevent the
Growth of Popery as well in this Province as throughout all other
his Majestys Dominions and that an Act of Assembly of this Prov-
ince can in no way alter the Effect of that Statute
To Conclude We now assure you, that whatsoever your Answer
may be to this, we shall trouble you with no more long Messages ;
And if you shall think fit to recede from the Resolution of not ac-
cepting the Bill for Arms &c otherwise than for nine years or to the
end of a Session, we do here offer you that Bill for any Sum not
exceeding Six Pence per Hogshead, and for any certain time not
above Three years, And if you will consent to a Conference to settle
the sum and time, as also to agree upon the Heads of a Bill for
Incouragement of his Majestys Levies, we shall Immediately ap-
point some members of our house for that purpose otherwise our
business seems to be at an End

The following Message is sent by George Plater Esqr

Gentlemen
We, who are desirous and careful of avoiding Mistakes and Mis-
apprehensions, must always be pleased with having them rectified;
But whether your last Message was useful and necessary to that
purpose will perhaps appear from the few observations we now
make of it.
