May it please your Excellency ;
We look upon your calling us together before the time to which
we were prorogued as a Matter so necessary that we cannot but
return you our sincere Thanks for it, and at the same time we must
acknowledge that your Zeal for his Majesty's Service and the Care
and Pains you have taken to protect, and secure us against the
Attempts of our barbarous and inveterate Enemies, and the Vigour
and Activity which you have shewn on all Occasions to that End
deserves our utmost Gratitude.
We think that we need not repeat the Assurances we have so
often given, that nothing in our Power shall be wanting to con-
tribute towards carrying into Execution the just Measures which
our most gracious Sovereign has thought fit to direct for the pres-
ervation of his Dominions on this Continent, and the safety and
Welfare of this Province :
