your Excellency by our Yesterdays Address and to believe that we
shall be so far from desiring you to pass into a Law, any Bill which
might be deemed repugnant to an Act of Parliament or likely to
expose your Excellency to the displeasure of his Majesty or the Lord
Proprietary, that we are determined on our parts never to give our
assent to such a Bill and we beg to assure your Excellency that it
will give us the highest pleasure to know that your Conduct on all
Occasions meets (as we are confident it will deserve) with the
Approbation of our most gracious Sovereign as well as of the Lord
Proprietary at the same time that it renders you dear to the People
over whom you are appointed to preside,
Benjamin Tasker President.

Gentlemen of the Upper House of Assembly
In answer to the Address you were pleased yesterday to present
to me I must Inform you that I am by the Kings Instructions re-
quired to pay strict Obedience to the Statute which was made in the
sixth Year of the Reign of Queen Ann for ascertaining the Rates
of foreign Coins in these Plantations, and as I find by Several
which have been given me since I assented to a Continuance of the
Inspection Law that the Clause inserted therein relative to the
regulation of Coin hath been Deemed at home repugnant, to the

p. 139

above mentioned Act of Parliament, and that were I to assent
hereafter to any Act Rating the Coins Specified in that Statute
