And now, may it please your Honours, insisting that our pres-
ent Concession, in answering your several Objections to our Bill,
shall not be drawn into Precedent, or any Way construed as deroga-
tory to our ancient and undoubted Right in Case of all Bills, for
Grants of Aids or Supplies to direct, limit, and appoint in such Bills,
the Ends, Purposes, Considerations, Conditions, Limitations, and
Qualfications of such Grants, which ought not to be changed by the
Upper House; we sincerely hope, our earnest Desires to testify our
Loyalty to the best of Kings on the present intended Expedition,
(in which it must be acknowledged we are more remotely concerned,
than almost any of his Subjects on this Continent, though we are
willing so largely to contribute thereto), will not be frustrated by
your Honours; and that you will no longer continue his Excellency
our Governor under the present disagreeable Necessity of burthening
the People, and incommoding us with such frequent Calls of Assem-
blies, calculated to compel us into a Bill of another Form, contrary
to our reiterated and almost unanimous Determinations, and destruc-
tive to the Interests, and disagreeable to the Inclinations, of our
Constituents.
Had your Honours pointed out any formal Improprieties, or
Inconsistencies, in the Bill, we should readily have found Means to
have altered them, still retaining Substantiate.
Signed per Order, M. Macnemara, Cl. Lo. Ho.
