Whereupon. (though they see not at present how to propound a full reformacon in all p'rticu- lars w'thout much difficulty and inconvenience. yet) they commend it to the severall Generall Courts and to the Flantacons within the Vnited Colonies, that noe peague, white or black, be ¡ ayd or received, but what is strung," &c.

But if any person possessed of an estate, who is neither planter nor setled inhabitant in any of the Colonyes, dye intestate, the adminis- tration (if just cause bee found to giue administration) bee graunted by that Colony where the person shall dye and deprt this life, and that care bee taken by that Gouernmt to gather in and secure the estate vntill it bee demaunded, and may bee de- liuered according to rules of justice :- wch vppon due consider- ation was confirmed by this Courte, in the behalfe of this Col- ony, and ordered to bee attended in all such occasions for the future ; prouided the Generall Courts of the other Colonyes yeild the like assent therevnto.
