me by the Committee of Midd.
"My humble Request is, That this Honourable
House would be pleased to make known unto me,
whether I may freely execute the Employment which
his Highness my Master hath confirmed upon me,
with those Rights and Privileges belonging to my
Place; and withall, that this Honourable House would
grant me a Second Order for the Restitution of my
Goods, the First not being yet obeyed.
"And thus, attending the Resolution of the Honourable House, that I may signify the same in my next
to his Highness, who-still presseth these Particulars,
I shall rest

Aug. this 27, 1646.
