That whereas the Assembly hath past an Act for a publick
Notary and desired that full Credence might be giuen vnto
him in all forreigne parts; Jtt were too vnreasonable to deney
to give Credence to publick Notaries which are beleiued in all
pts. of the world besides that the Act deneys Credence to be
giuen to Coppyes of deedes how authentickly soever proved
and therefore judge itt fitt to waue the s^d Act for the reasons
alledged and diners other Jnconveniences that may follow
vpon itt.
