, and that they would enjoine the said Sub-Treasurer
not precisely according to the letter of the Charter to exacte mony of
us (whereof we have none at all, as we have no minte), but the true
value of the rente in comodity.

[107] Treasurer, McDonald.
[108] rentes, McDonald, Bancroft.

[109] McDonald and Bancroft both omit that.

The fifte Petition is to beseeche the Treasurer, Counsell & Company
that, towards the erecting of the University and Colledge, they will
sende, when they shall thinke[110] it most convenient, workmen of all
sortes, fitt for that purpose.

[110] McDonald and Bancroft omit it.

The sixte and laste is, they wilbe[111] pleased to change the savage
name of Kiccowtan, and to give that Incorporation a newe name.

[111] will be, McDonald.

[115] McDonald and Bancroft omit that.

[116] Govn^{rs}, McDonald; Gov^{rs}, Bancroft.

[117] Behoove, McDonald, Bancroft.

[118] So, McDonald, Bancroft.

At the same time, there remaining no[119] farther scruple in the mindes
of the Assembly touching the said great Charter of lawes, orders and
priviledges, the Speaker putt the same to the question, and so it had
both the general assent and the applause of the whole assembly, who, as
