hereby impowered to administer the said Oath, And in case the
said Master
shall refuse the said Oath, or upon Suspicion of having Goods on board

Examined and Compared with the Original Act, REVERDY GHISELIN,
THOMAS BACON.
N.B. The above Act (which
has been carefully compared with the Original) is the same,
mutatis mutandis, with that of 4 W. and M. 1692, ch.
4, excepting that in §. 3, the Words
[For the Support of her Government, for the Time being] are
in the former Act [For the Support of
their Governor for the Time being.] And in §. 3,
of this Act, there appears a manifest Chasm
or Omission, owing to the Negligence of the Ingrosser or Transcriber of
the Bill, and inattention
of the Assembly; the Passage in the Act of 1692 standing thus, [The
said Duty, &c. shall
be, &c. paid, &c. by the Masters or Master of every such Ship,
&c. upon his or their Clearing, and taking
out his or their Dispatch or Dispatches, for every such respective Ship
or Vessel, and before the Departure
of such Ship or Vessel from this Province. And that every Master
of such Ship or Vessel; coming
into this Province, shall, at their first Arrival here, and before their
Loading on board and Goods, &c.
give good and sufficient Security to his Excellency, &c.]
