tributed their full proportion of men and money for thofc
services.
Refilled, N. C. D. That whenever his Majefty** service
Ihall, for the future, require the aids of the inhabitants of

thus firmly to assert, with modesty and decency, their inhe
rent rights, that their posterity may learn and know, that
U was not with their consent and acquiescence that any taxes
should be levied on them by any persons but their own re
presentatives, and are desirous that these their refblves should
remain on their miautes, as a testimony of the zeal and ar
dent desire of the present house of affembiy to preserve their
inestimable Rights, which, as Engtifhmen, they have
possessed ever since this province was fettled, and to traof
mit them to their latest posterity.
