N evenhelcfs, I · hold this ~opofition, to be rather frecious, and folemn._ tha.n need. full:~atthistime; Forccrtainly, itwillfillthestate, {ull of Difcontentment; which, in a Growing., and unfetlcd Efiatc, ought not to be. This I Gould wif.h, that his Maieffy, would appoint a fclc6l Number, of CoufJ[tUours there, which might deal, in the Improvement., of his Revmew; (Being a Thing not fit to pafs., through too many Hands;) And the {aid fcle6led Number, i.hould have'"dayes of Sitting, by thetn[elves. At which, the -reft of the Cou1.1cil, (hould not be prefent; which being once fctlcd, then -othe-r principal Bufinefs of State, may be handled at thofe Sittings, and fo the reft begin to be difuied, and yet retain their Countenance, without Murmur, or Difgrace. . The Third Propofttion, as it is moved, fccmcth to be pretty, if it ~ can keep promife: For it is thus. That a Mca.ns.~ may be: found, to re-enforce his Majejlies .Army, by soo, ora rooo Men; And that, withq.ut any Penny Encrca[c, of Charge. And the Means fhould be, that there fhould. be a Cpmmandement of a Local Removing, and transferring fon1e Companies, frOln one Pro'L'ince, to another : whereupon it is fuppofed, that many, that are ,planted, -. in Houfc, and Lands, will rather leefc their .Entertainment, than remove; And ther~by ,new Men tnay have their Pay., and yet the old, be J?ingled in the Countr)'' fot the Strength thereof. In tlus Propofit£on, two tlungs may be feared : The one, Difconte~ t of thoic, ttl at fba~l be pur_off: The other,. that the Compames fhall be fl:u ffed with N07.itas, and Tyronu, mfiead of Veterani. I wifh thcreforc,that this Propofition, be well debated, ere it be admittr; d. Thus having performed that, which Du~y binds me tO; I commend you, .to Gods ben prefervation.
