Majtys Service, and the good of the Whole publicke, and
willed them being Magistrates in their Severall Countys to see
the same putt in due Execution.
He also gave them to understand that there was a late act
of parliamt that prohibited the continuance of one parliament
longer then three yeares, and since this Generall assembly
was in the like nature of the parliament of England as to this
province, he thought that the same being continued neare
three yeares, In example of the Kingdom of England
(whereon this province so wholly depends) ought to be
dissolved.
Therefore in his Majestyes name his Excellency told them
that he did dissolve them.
And thereupon they were dissolved.
