Liber No. 47
May 23
|
Papists and Jesuits, or Priests of their own Nations, will, if not
timely prevented, all together become a dangerous intestine Enemy,
ready to join French or Indians, who are but too near, and sur-
rounding the British Settlements on this Continent; and whose In-
cursions into our neighbouring Provinces, with the Devastations
and Cruelties, by them committed in the late War, is but too recent
an Example of what may be apprehended.
The fatal Consequences to all his Majesty's loyal Subjects of
Maryland, which must attend this spreading Evil, are too many for
us to enumerate: Therefore we humbly submit them to the Consid-
eration of your Honourable House.
Signed per Order, Wm. Wilkins, Clerk.
