May it please yr honrs
As to the amendmts proposed in the bill for secureing the
peace of his Lordships Governmt &c: they seem to this house
to be such as would give the persons thereby Intended to be
restrayned greater liberty than was ever Intended them by
the former laws of the Province which are yet in force and
wee are humbly of opinion as the act for obligeing the oath
of Abjuration to be taken by officers &c: had no such pro-
visionall Exemption as that proposed in the afore mentioned
Bill and yet was never Construed to extend to those that are
designed to be exempted by such provisoe so wee believe the
said Act would as fully answer the designe of both houses if
the said proposed Exemption were wholly omitted.
Signed p order Tho: Macnemara Cl: Lo: Ho:
