Assembly Proceedings, April 1-26, 1684, 5


as also to assure both my houses, that I am ready to Joine
in anything you cann reasonably expect at my hands, in
relation to those Acts made perpetuall in the yeare 1676:
Hopeing I shall see noe more irregular and unparliamentary

both my houses of Assembly, that afore I leave you, I may see
those things Settled to yor satisfaccon, wch may conduce to the
good welfare, and security of the Inhabitants, whom you here
represent off this I am soe extreamely desirous, that nothing
shall be wanting on my part towards it. Adjourne for an
