people upon the Borders and for his Majestys Service in General
we must observe to you that the Objections we have already made
to your Bill were such as then occurred to us and as your Bill is
long and Complicated as you yourselves say we think it was but
consistent with common Prudence to express Ourselves as we then
did that we might not be precluded from making any fruther Ob-

further consideration of the Bill and not with intent to Treat you in
a manner inconsistent with the dignity of this house Therefore we
desire you will give us some Answer to those Objections mentioned
in that Message that matters may be brought to some conclusion
between us

The Bill for Granting a Supply for His Majesty's Service and
our Safety now under your Consideration 'tis true took us up a good
deal of time and perhaps a Week spent in an imperfect consideration
may not be thought inadequate to near seven in drawing and framing
it we are glad to find that you apprehend we did not mean to throw
